This may be of use.. [url="http://www.circle-of-fifths.net/"]Circle[/url] But as other folk have said here it's a really important concept in "Westerm" music and it's a great exercise for getting yourself familiar with every corner of your instrument...

Intensely annoying.. Warwick used to do this , thankfully they've stopped... Thunderfunk do it as well...

Not directly appropriate, but I use an adjustable amp stand for my MAG 300/15 combo which I optionally stand on a chunk of Dynafoam (energy absorbing foam we use in glider seat cushions to alleviate back injuries from heavy landings)... I suspect this is a poor mans version of the Auralex solution.. It's amazing how much you can change the tone with various combinations of the above...

2x8 500w and 1x15 400w ashdown cabs
markstuk replied to binky_bass's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Hi, Forum rules require you to state a price unless it's purely for Trade which it sounds like it isn't Cheers Mark [quote name='binky_bass' post='1014655' date='Nov 6 2010, 07:15 PM']Hey, Im going to sell this little beauty to put money towards and upgrade. Bought in 2007, its the mini but mighty Ashdown Superfly 500w head with the matching 2x8 and 1x15 speaker cabs. to save me doing all the hard work, heres ashdowns own right-up on it.... [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=156"]http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=156[/url] I know that its technically a 2x250w head, but the rig for sale will put out the full 500w as its going into 2 4ohm cabs giving you maximum output. The entire rig is pretty much in as new condition, the head has an ashdown padded carry case, and I have 2 speakon to jack leads plus the standard kettle lead to throw in aswell. I think its worth saying that this little rig has had a 10 string monster bass from bee basses going through it with absolutely no worries, she can handle low F# to high C and sings all the way! The only place i can find a NEW 1x15 superfly cab in here... [url="http://www.nuloop.com/en/instruments/item/87899/Guitars__bass/ashdown_superfly_115.html?refid=google_products_uk"]http://www.nuloop.com/en/instruments/item/...gle_products_uk[/url] And its priced at £656, so hey, get in! These cabs are very very good quality, i know theres some ashdown haters out there, but this rig is a great set-up and i love it, but i need more! I will consider part ex for various other bass amps, but cash is preferrer, im in essex and send me your offers! Russ.

Plugging an active bass into the passive input.
markstuk replied to fatgoogle's topic in Amps and Cabs
Agree with this - my 9V SR765 works best in the passive input, my BTB470 (18V) was a little too hot for the passive input.. -
I've got a pair of Kinetics 15" (Eminence loaded) PA cabs that I picked up for £40 in total.. I got them as spares for either our PA or my Bass/Keyboard rig.. They're very efficient and although not wonderful, I would have loved to have had them as part of my bass rig in the 80's.. I would certainly consider using Mackie 1521's with a preamp as an alternative setup...

Or Alex uses expensive drivers with large XMAX's.... :-)

It's a tadge more complicated in that there are three (or four) common minor scales for each key.. I found this [url="http://cnx.org/content/m10856/latest/"]Minor Scales[/url] which appears to be a fairly succinct summary... Cheers MArk

Depending on the frequency, very much so.. [quote name='dincz' post='1013578' date='Nov 5 2010, 06:19 PM']Ok, thanks. That makes sense. But is it usual or even common for a speaker to run out of excursion so far short of its thermal limit?[/quote]
-
A little harsh - both my Amcron (Crown) and TOA Power amps produce more power bridged than in stereo.. Don't know why though.. Cheers Mark [quote name='Delberthot' post='1013372' date='Nov 5 2010, 02:50 PM']They've pulled the figures out of their ass[/quote]

Oh.. That's nice... Must resist...

"No page in history baby- that, I don't need I just want to make some eardrums bleed" :-)

Absolutely, although I thought the point of a restraining order was that you moved rather than Chris :-)

He's moved to Dublin because Marvin followed him around Teignmouth and he felt worried :-)

I only live 15 mins from Warwick - I feel a trip to Bass Direct coming up.. :-)

Alex, I'm musing about buying a pair of light weight cabs and Barefaced come high on the list of options. The curved ball is that I want to use them for keyboards as well in stereo.. My first assumption was that a pair of super twelves (T) would probably do the biz (I have a fairly clean "articulate" bass sound in my current rig) - but then I noticed the SR12.3 in the forthcoming products section.. I'm unlikely to buy something before mid December but would welcome your views on the differences as well as the availability of the SR12.3. Current setup is an Ibanez SR765 with Ashdown RPM-1/APM1000 and a Warwick Terminator cab (2 x 15, 2 x 8 + horn).. Keyboards have enough level to run direct into the power amp (either the Ashdown APM1000 or an Amcron Geodyne II (or both!!)) Cheers Mark

No, they're quieter (except when I'm screaming at the competition :-) ) "Erm, so are they louder?"

"but I remember asking a glider pilot friend of mine whether new technology is reducing the span of glider wings, he responded this was kind of true but there's no substitute for span." Apart from Talent :-) (I'm a gliding instructor) Glider wings are long and thin (high aspect ratio) because for a given area this form factor produces the least total (form + induced) drag in the speed ranges gliders typically fly at.. So if anything we're using new materials (carbon fibre/kevlar) to make longer/thinner wings than we used to (subject to class/racing limitations in standard/15 metre class (both of these amusingly if confusingly comprising of gliders limited to 15m wingspans), 18 metre and "Open class" . As we approach 30 metres the penalty paid in handling/adverse yaw drag to date has proven to apply a practical limit. Any inprovements in aerofoil design/airflow management can be generally applied just as well to long wings as short wings, and the competition classing system (think yacht classes) means that there is no sporting benefit in having shorter wings than your compeition.. The only exceptions are open class aerobatic gliders but this a very fringe activity occupied by pilots with more money than sense .. On a pound per minute basis it's cheaper to run an Extra 300 than indulge in glider aerobatics.... cheers Mark

Dagnaggit.. I've a gig that evening so it's going to be tight to come.. Bu*ger..

Yup, that's pretty much my understanding (and how our guitarist who has a VG99 has done it).. [quote name='pantherairsoft' post='1007070' date='Oct 31 2010, 10:17 AM']Well I've had a good look at the pick up, and from what I can see it will happily attach with double sided tape (aka Bernie Goodfellow Scratch Plate Magic). I also beleive (correct me if i'm wrong) that the control block (that the pickup connects to) just clamps to a bass anyway (by use of the end pin, or a range of other methods to suit the basses layout) and does not require and screwing on… Shep[/quote]
