Gorgeous bass..... and if I could afford it THIS would be the one to go for...

They're my two favourites to play along to on my fretless Wal

[quote name='davidmpires' post='957167' date='Sep 15 2010, 01:25 PM']They do hold their value, but are slow to shift I'm trying to sell mine and have yet to get offers.[/quote] There seems to be a lack of money out there for anything over £2-300 at the moment mate.... be patient

Why do they hold their price? Well, actually they hold their OLD price. The new RRP on current Euro 4's and 5's is well into the mid £1000's so a used one for £750 to £1000 is about right for a superbly made, incredibly comfortable and stunning sounding bass....

[quote name='arthurhenry' post='952586' date='Sep 11 2010, 11:25 AM']Have always loved the playing at the end of this track, lots of string skips and some nice melodic playing when the bass catches the guitar line, which is also an exercise in restraint as it's tempting to pump out the eighth notes there.[/quote] Yep, still one of my fave bass lines - that melodic section at the end with the solo

Has to be 'groupies' for me with the KISS tribute... Lots of "How do you do that with your tongue?", 'Is that codpiece [i]all you[/i]?", "Can I see your tongue again?..... Oooooooh!!!!!" etc etc

[quote name='Ba55me15ter' post='950662' date='Sep 9 2010, 02:33 PM']Cool - will try to get to the Newcastle Legends gig.[/quote] Nice one! Would be a pleasure to see you

[quote name='Paul S' post='949299' date='Sep 8 2010, 11:50 AM']Warfemstoe! Excellent. I'll see if I can get a crowd along.[/quote] You star! The more the merrier

Honestly?!? It's AWESOME! I have the two 2x12's stacked vertically with the top cab blasting the overdriven, grinding hi mids from the RBI..... and the bottom cab blasting the solid, thick, round & clean lows from the RPM.... Running each on a separate channel of the power amp means I can adjust the individual volume of each to find the perfect combination of thundering lows and grinding highs!

[quote name='dood' post='948223' date='Sep 7 2010, 01:02 PM']I really can't understand why it hasn't worked Cetera! - I've most defintely had it working for a long time in my own rigs. As I say, the last two contenders have been the MXR M80 with a parallel out and also the Sansamp ParaDriver, which is the pedal version of the RPM. What were you finding not working about it?[/quote] Sorry chaps! Dodgy lead meant the link between RPM & RBI wasn't working... *blush* Got it sorted now so don't need a splitter box after all! Thanks everyone for your help though & apologies if I've wasted anyone's time....

[quote name='umph' post='947766' date='Sep 6 2010, 10:46 PM']i think you could very well get away with a passive jobbie for this purpose, if you get hum though i can draw you up something to show you how to make a transformer balanced splitter.[/quote] Thanks, any 'passive' suggestions?

[quote name='rmshaw37' post='947421' date='Sep 6 2010, 05:23 PM']i take it you like the sound of the bass on sonic boom too! lol[/quote] I sure do! But that's not what I want this rig for.... My other rig takes care of the 'Gene' tone

[quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='947477' date='Sep 6 2010, 06:23 PM']But according to your diagram, you don't need to combine- you just need to split to the two preamps which then go into separate amp channels, no? If you actually want to split your signal into high and low bands and recombine them to one channel, something like the [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=xm"]SFX X+M[/url] seems to be very highly regarded- the builder is a BCer too.[/quote] Sorry, I meant run both at the same time....

[quote name='Paul S' post='947228' date='Sep 6 2010, 02:09 PM']Do you ever make it darn sarf?[/quote] London & Surrey mate... Jan 28th 2011 - Camberley ‘Agincourt’ Feb 5th 2011 - Walthamstow ‘Standard’

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='947313' date='Sep 6 2010, 03:38 PM']Do you need the ability to drop one out (i.e. switchable ABY), or are you just running both full-bore all the way (i.e. you just need a decent splitter)?[/quote] Just a decent splitter to be honest....

Love this track - always been a fave!

Cheers! Any love here for the Radial Big Shot ABY? Looks pretty nice... I've heard that the Morley and ArtCool ABY splitters are both noisy...

Farmer61 - thanks but that pedal only switches between channels - it doesn't seem to combine. Dood - I tried that the other day but it didn't seem to work(?).... hmmm, maybe I wired it wrong - will have to try again later

I would like to be running my rig as follows: Bass --> Splitter Box --> Sansamp RBI (high end grind) --> Channel A of Peavey DPC1400 Amp --> 1st Genz Benz Neox 2x12 --------> Splitter Box --> Sansamp RPM (clean low end) --> Channel B of Peavey DPC1400 Amp --> 2nd Genz Benz Neox 2x12 Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good but cheap splitter/ABY box with 1 input (from the bass) and 2 outputs (to run both pre-amps at the same time)? I'd like no signal loss or as little as possible... Thanks in advance for your help chaps! UPDATE: Problem now SOLVED - thanks!

Bumping for this weekends gigs at: [b]Fri 10th Sept - Bradford 'Gasworks' Sat 11th Sept - Stourbridge 'River Rooms'[/b]

Smug Valve Tw*t

I've owned an Ampeg SVT2 Pro... and it was great, but not a patch on a friend's SVT2 (Non-pro) I'm afraid.... Personally, I'd much rather use my Sansamp RPM & RBI preamps through a good power amp for versatility, portability AND tone... It's all IMHO.... and as mentioned in this thread, 99% of the audience could give a damn - they just hear a bass guitar...
