    [quote name='Agwin' timestamp='1464799974' post='3062712']... Is it possible for Assambique to withdraw/delete his single vote and re-vote a three header? - Just a thought [/quote] What, like, instead of incurring the death penalty..? Spoil-sport..!

    Could you not reduce the volume of the high-level basses with their own volume control..? Either touch it no more, put a discreet mark as a guide, or have a compensating resistor fitted, once and for all..?

    [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1464786904' post='3062512'] Speaking of which for next month if I plugged two basses into one amp and played them at the same time is that ok or a sneaky way to get around the one track rule? [/quote] If that's your normal 'plug in and play' routine, why not, but you'd be better served getting a contract in a circus, I'd suggest. There [i]are [/i]those that play with their feet, so I suppose it's physically possible. Please declare these technical details when submitting, though, so that folks can recognise that there is something special going on. (Actually, judging from the racket from some here, I think they already [i]do [/i]play with their feet..! )

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1464786680' post='3062503']... The Pretty Things... [/quote] Ah, Twink..! He's unlikely to be able to clamber to the top of the PA to mime jumping off any more..! Fond memories, heady daze...

    Does the London Symphony Orchestra count in the 'revolving door' category..? Or maybe it's the conductor that carries the renown..? Why should rock bands be different..? Should the Beatles have stopped when Macca died..?

    [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1464786207' post='3062494']...Not one for blowing my own trumpet. [/quote] But... but... but... I thought this was for bass only..?

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1464781441' post='3062418'] Just a thought, but does anyone vote for themselves?... [/quote] Technically difficult to prevent, and eventually self-defeating in such a poll, as all such votes would cancel out (assuming that all did it, which they could...). It could work in one's favour, but where's the 'glory' in 'winning' in that way..? One is only fooling oneself, in the end. Is the prize really that valuable..? (Well, if it's the clamour of admiration from eager BC members, I suppose the draw [i]is [/i]rather strong. Hmm... Maybe I'll consider it, then, just as long as I'm the only one... )

    How do these 'phones deal with an active bass, which uses the 'stereo' aspect for its power switching..? 'Normal' 'phones use the stereo for L - R. What happens with these 'phones when plugged into a normal stereo source..? Is there a mode switch on 'em or something..? Seems odd to me that they could serve both purposes... Edit: Ah, I see there's and adapter plug, probably from 3.5 stereo to 6.3 mono for the bass socket. Jolly good, that's alright then.

    Good afternoon, Tim, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] ... to the forum. Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share (... but you knew that anyway, didn't you..? ).

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464703834' post='3061582'] I like that! Let me figure out how long I need it to be and I'll order one. [/quote] 99m..? ...

    [quote name='obbm' timestamp='1464691742' post='3061404']... These days I only offer black... [/quote] Would a piece of heat-shrunk colour tube at each end be an option for those wishing to identify cables by colour..? Just a thought. No qualms with 'Quality First'; you've already 'nailed' that aspect.
  14. Dad3353
    +1 for OBBM. Maybe ask for coloured sleeving, if extra visibility is required..? (Two identical topics have been merged into one, for clarity...)

    Good afternoon, Eero, and ... ... to the forum. Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. There are a fair few on this forum from Scandinavia, so you are far from alone.

    [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1464511572' post='3059894'] Please be aware that IP includes all forms of design, art and development. So this includes music, art, software any designed products etc. An interesting viewpoint for a musician and software developer. [/quote] Fully aware, but with a different (broader..?) approach to what constitutes 'work to be paid for'. Not a current view, I'll admit; it has already been subject of BC discussion, so needn't be repeated here. 'Interesting'..? That's doubtful.

    [quote name='BasicBird' timestamp='1464509584' post='3059873'] My bass cab has removable whees. why ?... [/quote] Some manufacturers provide for those wishing to stack cabs, one on top of t'other, and, as it's not much more bother than having fixed castors, allow the option of removing them. Is there a sonic advantage, with or without..? No; none at all. Keep the benefit of portability and retain the wheels. In some cases, I've removed castors when filling a tour bus chock-a-block; the castors took up space I needed. A rather rare case, however. I keep mine on, all of the time, now (I've a bigger van... ) Edit: I remember a sloping stage, once, which was 'fun', chasing after all the wheeled gear. They're not all brakeable, y'know..!

    [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167485] When you win the Lottery, you'll be able to afford decent ear protection, as well..!
  21. Dad3353
    Thanks for the clarification; that looks to be just fine and dandy. No, you'll not need a dedicated bass amp, but be a little bit cautious in the volume levels used. Hifi gear is not as tolerant as gigging stuff when subjected to extreme playing conditions. At 'normal' domestic volume, it should be fine. That's pretty decent gear; t'would be shame to abuse it. Enjoy.
  22. Dad3353
    You may need to be a bit more specific in how you intend to do this. Could you indicate which amp you're using, which monitors and which sub you're looking at..? Usually, they'd need to be some sort of filtration in the chain, so that the sub gets the low frequencies only. Is this part of the plan..? Simply coupling a sub, along with the present speakers, may not be at all good for the amp. More detail, please..?

    [quote name='Iheartreverb' timestamp='1464378832' post='3059083']... Im having trouble uploading pictures... [/quote] You might like to try this, to delete attachments no longer required, and liberate quota space..? Go to your 'My Profile' (your pseudo, top right...). Select 'Edit my Profile' (black button a bit below...). Select 'Manage Attachments' (in the list on the left...). They are listed in date order. Navigate to oldest, select those to be deleted (tick boxes on the right...). Select 'Delete Selected' (grey button at bottom right of list...). Repeat, page by page, until all unwanted attachments are deleted. Using the BBCode link supplied by an external photo account such as Imgur is a good idea; the photos are better presented and it uses no BC server space. I use Imgur (it's free...); here's what it looks like (the correct link for Basschat is in green...) ... Other image hosting sites are similar. Hope this helps...

    Our own PA is voice only, with a smidgen of bass drum and overhead, usually. No subs, just a pair of HK Power Works RS152X, using a 2 x 300w amp (one side FOH, t'other side a pair of monitors...). If we need more (festivals, largish outdoor stuff, biggish 'dry' venues...) we have a PA buddy who 'lends' us a d&b C7 or two, depending on the venue needs. It's good to have friends.

    [quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1464472623' post='3059749']... they just steal a piece of the market from the real thing.... [/quote] This is not necessarily true. Those buying copies (marked Fender or not...) may well not be able to afford the 'real thing', or have any number of reasons for preferring another source (Lighter..? Different colour..? 'Better' sounding..?). The sale of a copy is not, every time, a lost sale of a Fender. Sometimes, even, it can lead to a later sale of the 'real' thing. Stuff is rarely entirely black or white. Disclaimer: I'm not an believer in 'intellectual property', in any case.
