  1. [quote name='EMG456' timestamp='1467060695' post='3080935']...go straight into that and apply dynamics later... [/quote] This would be the 'default' way of working; there is no need technically to compress or limit before the interface. There is no need, either, to push towards clipping, either (unlike the older tape machines and the like...); it would be better to leave a few db spare as headroom, even at peaks in the playing. The interface you've mentioned has bags of headroom and wide 'pad' options, so no problem at all. You may prefer to compress beforehand, of course, and it's not forbidden. It obviously can't be adjusted or removed after the fact, that's all. Subject to completion, correction and/or contradiction from others; hope this helps.
  2. Standard Hiwatt would be Fanes, but they would fit other speakers on request for some customers. Celestions were not the first choice, but would please some Marshall-oriented folks a bit more. As for value, it's about as valuable as any vintage 4 x 12; nothing really 'collector' about it. With vintage Fanes it would probably fetch about three times more. Check the impedance, as these cabs were often wired as 16 ohms.
  3. [quote name='butlerk02' timestamp='1467039688' post='3080676']...not sure if the speakers are originals... [/quote] I would expect to see Hiwatt Fanes in there. I've never seen an original Hiwatt cab with Celestions like that, and the cabling looks to be very much more flimsy than Hiwatt's. All is possible, of course, but I'd doubt originality.
  4. Good evening, Daniel, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Good luck with your search.
  5. [quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1465414292' post='3068081']...what tool do I need to adjust the rod?... [/quote] Try an Ebay search for 'nut spinner', measure the dimension between flats of the truss rod nut and get one (or a set...) that fits. That should sort you out. Something of this sort should do the job... [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Professional-T-Bar-Handle-Screwdriver-Set-20-Bits-Sockets-Holder-Nut-Spinner-/201480477318?hash=item2ee92c1a86:g:USwAAOSwcBhWYEHS"]T-Bar Nut Spinner set ...[/url]
  6. Another modest vote for Reaper. It costs nothing to try it out, alongside others, and compare. If it's not chosen, just un-install, no loss. If it wins out, it's not at all expensive. It must be worth at least looking into, no..?
  7. Could it be something as simple as a phase issue between the FOH and the cab..? Did you try the phase inverter on the bass channel strip..? Just a thought.
  8. [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1466836906' post='3079198'] Lasted about 3 songs before getting very bored and switched it off. [/quote] +1
  9. [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1466699062' post='3078013'] ^^^ He's trying to steal your thunder, Dad! [/quote] I ran out of 'thunder' decades ago; if he finds any left to steal, he's entirely welcome. I wouldn't know what to do with it any more, anyway..!

  11. [quote name='Samashton12' timestamp='1466674060' post='3077731'] I kinda like it.. [/quote] So do some others; it's now up to £255.
  12. Good afternoon, BS, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. No, I'd heard of neither (nor their bands..!), but, then again, I'm a drummer.
  13. Disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about pedals (nor much else of use, for that matter... ); I simply 'Googled' 'yin yang bass pedal' and looked at the pretty pictures. This was top of the heap ... The rest, as they say, is History...
  14. [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1466618458' post='3077326'] Careful now... It's liberally smeared with scat! [/quote] Euwww..!
  15. [quote name='Leonard Smalls' timestamp='1466608581' post='3077200'] I've fiddled with mine too! [/quote] We'll pass a veil over that and listen to your track instead.
  16. [quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1466602311' post='3077144'] Sorry, no offence meant. Will read the rules next time. [/quote] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167485]

  19. [quote name='Badass' timestamp='1466588176' post='3076952'] As the title says... [/quote] [url="http://proguitarshop.com/xotic-x-blender-true-bypass-effects-loop-pedal.html"]Xotic X-Blender...[/url]
  20. [quote name='Kip Kersey' timestamp='1466533755' post='3076604']...I need to put the bass into the hold of an aeroplane... [/quote] Must it go in the hold..? There are companies that have a limited luggage area in the cabin for such items; worth asking if your's has this option..? The handling that any stuff in the hold gets is really a matter of chance, I'd say, and, although a Hofner case would be sufficient in normal circumstances, it won't withstand being run over by a tarmac tug or the like. It's a bit of a 'Dirty Harry' moment, really... "Are you feeling lucky..?"
  21. Just an aside... I suppose I should be flattered (any port in a storm..? ), but I find it at once odd, funny and sad that, whatever I post on Soundcloud, I get an almost immediate set of 'Likes' from perfect strangers, and usually a new 'Follower' or two, often with a winsome smile and scant clothing. Is there something in my fingering that attracts such youngsters (they're rarely.. no, never... much more than teenage...)..? I doubt that it be my associated photo (which is often the Compo Challenge picture anyway...), and seems to be the reaction whatever 'style' (or lack of...) that the piece is purporting to be in. At this rate, I'll be world-famous in short order..! I'm not alluding to my regular BC following, of course; the scant clothing should have made that obvious.
  22. You want entries..? You got entries... [url="https://soundcloud.com/dad3353/bc-nood-2016-06"]June Noodle-bug ...[/url] ... and it serves you right. (No-one knows the difficulties involved in such simple things such as taking a ruddy photo per month, or playing just one minute (one lousy minute..!) of bass, let alone coming up with a whole new Composition..! No wonder I'm extenuated..! Still, it's worth it..! )
  23. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1466516960' post='3076418']... We need more entries though! [/quote] Patience, lad; patience. (... and you may regret that remark if I [i]do [/i]manage to contribute..! )
