Random beardy metaller threw me the goat while I was shopping in Aldi today. Metal.

I'm pretty involved with the metal scene. Promoters: https://www.facebook.com/endlesspainpromotions?ref=ts https://www.facebook.com/pages/Whereshegonepromotions/280679401962508?ref=ts Metal pub/venue, where I hang out being beardy and long haired: https://www.facebook.com/gryphonbristol?ref=ts

Idea of this thread was to figure what is gonna be selling underpriced, so I can sit on them for a while: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/134417-what-are-really-unfashionable-at-the-moment/

Peavey is easy to reccomend to any young person starting out, as good value for money, but a bit heavy. biggest downside to people like that is they tend to have a ton of tone options that make a wrong one a bit easy. Bypass it all and put a Sansamp/BDI21 into it if you want easy good tone.

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1347007171' post='1795826'] That's exactly right, which is why the advice to put the brace straight across the middle (given by someone who should know better in another thread) wasn't very clever. You don't damp bass string by putting a finger above the 12 th fret after all. [/quote] But I would go for the middle if I was trying to reduce its possible displacement from a force applied along its length. Depends on thinking in resonance or flexibility. Because knocking stuff up an octave might put it out of a bass loss because of bending place, and into a middier place that lining will deal with.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1346950984' post='1795292'] I have a suspicion that a thin-wall but heavily braced panel can exhibit high rigidity at lower frequencies, thus giving good lows but the sections between the braces can have a degree of damped flexibility at higher frequencies which can absorb unwanted midrange, especially if those braces are positioned to give each part of each panel a different resonant frequency whose harmonics are an non-coincident as possible with each other panel section. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to scientifically test this but it makes sense from a mechanical engineering perspective and it certainly sounds good in practice! [/quote] So the idea point for a brace is the same sort of deal as the idea place for a piano hammer to strike the string, where it doesn't hit any harmonic?

Ashdown make a full range from cheapies to fancys, so you can pretty much get what you pay for, plus great support at every level.

That isn't a cab.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1345193577' post='1774714'] If you don't ask, you don't get. There have been many occasions when I have asked if they would be willing to package it up and they've said yes, this "it doesn't have a hard case" stuff is bogus - if it's well packed then it won't be a problem. If it's well packed then that's what insurance is for. [/quote] No hardcase = no insurance most of the time.

They sit in totally different frequency bands, so it doesn't really matter in terms of audibility.

Being pleasing to the ear is all of the point, so its always going to be the best way. I'm not sure how meters work, but since its pretty hard to get a flat response mic that is omnidirectional, I'd guess the one in a meter is gonna only be accurate over a limited bandwidth.

DB needs a weighting. And frequencies effect the meters differently.

Need a tweeter really, vocals and cymbals sound all wrong without. The three way Barefaceds should do it. If people are drunk, won't matter much.

What part is breaking? There is nothing in a Woolly Mammoth that can't be fixed fairly easily.

Fairly likely the pickups are standard and you can just lose the preamp and do a simple passive wiring job.

The Sansamp Leeds pedal probably goes there, I've not aimed for it on purpose, but it heads that way during my fiddling.

[quote name='silentbob' timestamp='1346705623' post='1792274'] That's it, now I've seen what it looks like, this is definatly getting built. [/quote] Kind of already done it, aside from a rosewood board, right down to bridge style. [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/newbassinblack004.jpg[/IMG]

Mere lack of legal basis doesn't stop him crying or ebay folding to his demands.

Especially like the polepiece alignment, very Fender.

Fairly sure the Fender bassman tone stack and the bass terror one are broadly the same, same style of circuit, maybe values tweaked a bit. Probably differences in how linear the power section is.

Different tones for different songs, but some bands play a lot of songs that are the same for the purpose.
