[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1374074489' post='2145018'] Very interesting as i get massive volume out of mine. even with my TC BH250. Always felt my shuttle 6.0 was light on watts IMO I've managed to fill an auditorium with one cab and a promethean head at mofat [/quote] Me and the other bassist both had a shuttle 6.0 head, and he had 2 1x12 cabs set up already so we agreed that we might as well just use his cabs but with our own heads so we stacked them up, as soon as I tried it I knew it was struggling (might be why you thought the genz was short on power?) My shuttle 3.0 with my own cabs would have blown it away! Maybe they were a duff pair or something but you know how it is once you have first hand experience of something not working how you want.

I'd rather just have a light weight head and a small cab for now, all you need to do after is buy a bigger/another cab when you start gigging, you can also use the head at practices before with their cabs to get a feel for the heads controls?

I'm not sure what the exact models were but same room, same head, same bass and the difference was massive, it still remains the highest I have needed to put the output on my shuttle six and it was a tiny room. I thought maybe a 2x12 might be better than two 1x12s but the experts here say not.

I did a direct comparison with a pair of purple chilli 1x12 to my genz 2x12T , the drop in volume and clarity when I used the purple ones was epic, the owner put them for sale on this site the day after

Ace, not long until you get a db now then, I lasted a few weeks!

The guy in the lakland clip you can find in the neck relief thread doesn't loosen them at all, personally I like to take the neck tension up by pulling the neck back by hand at the same time as adding or removing tension to the truss rod.

Read my thread mate, foam from the packing it came in looks good as it is grey

looks like a whole day at bass direct doesn't it?!

And still no Genz Benz?

That's the guy who is selling the David gage on Ebay I think, has one on here but his advert is locked, unpaid fees?

Out bid

I'm going to have a bid later on the bass max then, if I remember!

I guess that makes sense too actually, I'm away for a few days but I well try removing a shim of cardboard from each piezo and see if it helps, does it matter if I put the card above or below the tabs? I currently have the card against the wings and the tabs against the bridge itself.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1373788727' post='2141505'] Oh yeah I see that now, whoops! I replied to BetaFunk and went to give the dog his breakfast so I never saw the other replies. I blame the dog for everything these days. He does all my farts for me too. :-) [/quote] Bloody dogs eh

That makes you the third person to have a stab at that point Tnit, let's see if it turns our any better, your post read the same as mine to me so I doubt it!

That sounds promising then as mine is super tight in both slots but nowhere near clipping any input! Might have a cheeky bid tomorrow......

For clarity, i cant see what you dont understand or how thats not related but there you go, its hot out [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1373746725' post='2141264'] I don't buy basses that I can't go and collect in person. I've gone to Newcastle, Liverpool, Goole and Nottingham so far. I've received less valuable items that were packed really badly so I wouldn't risk it with a bass. [/quote] [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1373749650' post='2141318'] I can understand that to a certain extent but how do you think that the bass gets from the manufacturer to the customer in the first place? [/quote] [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1373750234' post='2141327'] What difference does that make, I would only collect in person for a valuable bass so as long as it got to the shop ok I'd be buying from them, if its snapped in half before it even gets there that's not my problem is it? I don't even mind a display model if its mint or reduced to suit, no point getting the boxed one home to find it damaged, faulty electronics or just not as nice as the display one you tried [/quote]

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1373751028' post='2141338'] Again i fail to see what that has got to do with what i said. [/quote] I can't really help then, as you were

Or a Genz neox2x12T

First thing you have the luxury of is two pickups, turn one off then the other and see what effect each one has, maybe lower the bass end of the one causing the trouble if its obvious and go from there

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1373749990' post='2141324'] Ater reading the perils of sending a bass i'm thinking of picking up my new Fender from the U.S. Does anyone know what airport is nearest to the Fender factory and how much the flight will cost taking in to consideration that i will require two seats so that the bass does not get damaged on the journey. I presume that every guitar and bass manufacturer does this otherwise how on earth do they arrive in the U.K. undamaged? [/quote] But you are not dealing with them are you? Annoying if it gets damaged but ultimately not your problem is it, that's what your uk franchised dealer is there for.

That mic looks pretty cool but I like the idea of the Bassmax from what you say, my playing is awful anyway but maybe if I could hear it then I will play better! Which wing slot do you have the Bassmax fitted to? and does it give a reasonable level of output as I think that is where my problems start, I have 3 different Genz amps and a choice of 1x10, 1x12 and a 2x12 cabs with the fishman plat pro I am hoping to get in nailed once the pickup is sorted

I'd much rather meet halfway even if it costs me more, that goes for buying, selling or trading.
