    Strings

    Has anyone tried ZOG strings? My guitarist is all about them, he's trying to he me onto them, and they are pretty sweet but you can only import them as far as I'm aware

  4. Been using the 350 for a while, it is an issue with the 350 series as you need to run them harder than the 1000 watt to get the same sort of volume they over heat quite regularly. My LG has cut out on me twice live, and i'm going to get it replaced as each time i sent it to get fixed it has broken on me again. If your able to plug it up to a pa by the xlr DI on the back then this will be prevented from happening in the first place as you can have it on a low setting on the amp, which wont over heat it, and have a loud volume through the pa!

    Good'ay

    Hey Guys I've been playing bass for 8-9 years, mainly play classic rock (ACDC, GnR, Led Zep ... etc) I have been known to dabble into other things like Muse, QOTSA and chilli's. Right now I'm playing in a Bristol Band called BlackWolf check us out at; [url="http://www.myspace.com/ukblackwolf"]http://www.myspace.com/ukblackwolf[/url] I currently use a vintage v950 5 string, with active EQ. I play these things through a Warwick 411 4x10 speaker, with 3 HF horns. And currently a LG350 which I'm going to replace hopefully with an orange bass terror 500w. Main reasons for joining, to ask and give advice on what could be and has been beneficial to me as a bassist. Peace
  6. Hey Guys I've been using a LG350 for the last 7 months from brand new, I play it with a Warwick 411 4 x 10 cabinet speaker. I have found that this amp is very unreliable. The fan in it seems to just stop working and never cuts in when the amp gets too hot. Then the amp's safety features come on and cut the sound on the amp until it has cooled down. This has happened to me live, twice. I have had it repaired twice and am now going to replace it with something else. When used in conjunction with a PA this amp is very very handy, you don't need to run it too high and there is the DI on the back which plugs straight in and your volume can be controlled from the sound desk and not put too much strain on your amp, in this situation it would be a very good back up amp, however don't rely on it when your playing a small venue and you have to compete with the other musicians, the amp gets over worked and can cut out. It usually lasts about 50 minutes before this happens though, so if your doing smaller sets then it should last you but I wouldn't take the chance again.
