[quote name='BigRedX' post='862128' date='Jun 9 2010, 02:35 PM']Oh and digital clipping is a user problem not an equipment problem. If you don't know how to use your gear properly, you won't get the best out of it no matter what underlying technology is powering it.[/quote] I think that is another +1 of idiot proof/completely unresponsive 3 band passive EQ. [quote name='silddx' post='862132' date='Jun 9 2010, 02:39 PM']I agree with all your points, but particularly this one. There's US Technology Service Desk slang for this, "PICNIC" Problem in Chair, Not in Computer.[/quote] Wasn't an issue when computers were valve. No chair.

[quote name='umph' post='861982' date='Jun 9 2010, 12:18 PM']digital clipping is extremely harsh on the ears[/quote] [quote name='silddx' post='862007' date='Jun 9 2010, 12:39 PM']Can you really hear extremely harsh harmonic content digital clipping, especially around 1k? I'm amazed if you can.[/quote] [quote name='silddx' post='862075' date='Jun 9 2010, 01:51 PM']I set my patches up so they don't clip. You are making out that clipping is a [b]feature [/b]of digital modelling. It isn't unless I am gravely mistaken. If the digital signal is clipping, of course I can hear it, but why would I get it to clip? There is no reason to, is there.[/quote] If it isn't there, of course you can't here it. But given the context of the quoted stuff you are replying to, the words 'digital clipping' figure fairly prominently. I have never heard digital clipping from a valve amplifier.

[quote name='silddx' post='862071' date='Jun 9 2010, 01:47 PM']Fair comment, but if you're playing places with no PA what does your singer do?[/quote] Not exist, same as they do usually. A singer would be fine with tops only PA that I'd expect to be in dives I'm lined up to play. I've only ever played one venue where the subs could keep up with my cabs. It is probably a genre thing.

[quote name='silddx' post='862007' date='Jun 9 2010, 12:39 PM']TBH though, I'm not concerned about people like you because you are one in a million who can hear something like that. Can you really hear extremely harsh harmonic content digital clipping, especially around 1k? I'm amazed if you can.[/quote] Damn, if you can't hear digital clipping, there is something pretty bad going on.

[quote name='dood' post='862009' date='Jun 9 2010, 12:41 PM']+1 Digital clipping could occurr if the unit is set up is configured incorrectly - as you say, if the signal gain was too high. This is not a fault of the unit itself.[/quote] Thing is, with a actual valve amp, digital clipping can't occur whatever you do. And often, you'll have trouble going far off a 'good' sound, due to the limited options presented by a valve amp's preamp. Additionally I like the fact that if my valve amp stops working, I can open it up, phone up Umph with my meter in hand and have a fair chance at being able to fix it. The nightmare of surface mount components in digital stuff doesn't present such options. The really good digital stuff is really expensive, and the cheap stuff gives it all a bad rep. If you control your dynamics by moving where your instrument is in the sound field, then you need a familiar cab. Analogue modeling with digital control is where its at if you want a load of sounds. Sansamp stuff is just so good. Lugging a real rig isn't as bad as lugging a modeller and a PA. I don't expect much more chance of a PA than I do of a backline being provided.

A second 2x12 will also give more top, as the speaker is closer to your ears, and the highs are quite directional, so more of them will be heading in the right direction as you are closer to the axis of the topmost speaker.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='861621' date='Jun 8 2010, 11:03 PM']I'd be interested in the big muff. [/quote] Probably shoulda mentioned the ones I was after. That and the wah. Possibly the headrush.

I'm gonna go pick up some of these tomorrow morning, anyone wanna let me know what they are after, and I'll pick them up and post them out to ya, hopefully I'll be able to cut a deal to cover post costs, but be willing to cover them in case he is a hard nut.

My Westone thunder bridge has holes like that, but no through holes, those are only a drilling away. In fact, parts box check, and I have a bent tin bridge with the holes on the front corners, in silver. Needs the thorugh string holes if you want them. £5 posted?

Where were you thinking of mounting it? I think it will be a ballpain to put it in the cab, it is all separate sections and you've have to go through a few to get the tweeter mounted on the top, wiring from the jack plate. Reckon you are better off making/getting a seperate tweeter box, meaning you can run it off a separate crossover externally, like [url="http://www.talkbass.com/wiki/index.php/Greenboy_Headcase"]the Greenboy headcase.[/url].

Got a pic of what you mean? Some copies come with bridges with screws on the front corners.

Does this have lighter strings? They move more. Also, is your plucking position moved due to shape of the bass?

Drill your other pilot holes bigger/ deeper. 3 screws will work fine. Getting it out will be a huge pain, involving drilling a little hole either side and drip[ping it with end cutters and rotating till it is out enough to grip with something more substantial.

I'd take it up with the owner of the cat, and get a whole new cab out of them.

[quote name='Marky L' post='860991' date='Jun 8 2010, 01:57 PM']Indeed Mr. F. I had thought about that.. but I want to use it![/quote] Will be plenty of time you ain't using it, stash your bass under a roof window, out of thieving eyesight, but in the sun. Maybe cover the body though, have a lovely yellowed headstock on a distressingly pink bass that was once red.

Leave it in a sunny window till autumn will also sort the colour.

If you like the 2x12, why not get more of the same?

[quote name='Gust0o' post='860572' date='Jun 8 2010, 12:05 AM']Sorry to resurrect this, but what would be the best glue for bonding the nut?[/quote] Tiny drop of superglue or clear drying pva, so it can pull out easily. I usually just jam them in, cause I change them every time I change string size.

[quote name='bigjohn' post='860526' date='Jun 7 2010, 11:23 PM']I reckon a strategy 400 and an SVT IIP would be my perfect sounding rig. Aren't they heavy though? Actually, an SVT IIP and an RPM for the front - but that's just greedy.[/quote] How about a PSA for the front? Could do ya a deal. Heavy is a fair description.
