    Q: WHY? 🤔 A: MDP 😔
  2. paul_5
    Both are currently in short supply at _5 towers.

    That’s a beauty!

    Ageing mbox 2 pro that’s not been used for a while is now up for sale. It’ll record at up to 96khz through FireWire connection to your laptop/ pc etc... Sound on sound magazine did a really good review here: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/digidesign-m-box-2-pro Stock photo: Please note, there is no native USB connection on this device. I’ve had it running on my MacBook Pro using the latest version of Protools on OS 10.14 with no issues, but the drivers are old, so I can’t guarantee that it’ll work on every system. You can check compatibility with your system here: http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Mbox-2-Pro-Drivers price does not include P&P.

    Can I add ‘option C’ into the mix? TC Electronics Nether is basically an OC2 in a red box.

    Agreed, the pre alone is worth very close to that!!

    Short answer is yes, a load of less than 8ohms will knacker your amp. Running the 2 cabs in series will give your amp a load of 20ohms, so it’ll be safe, can’t guarantee it being loud though.

    That should do it. You pipped me to the post with that DHA. Enjoy!

    If it’s a Dave Hall then you’re fine; they have a relay circuit inside that doubles the voltage, so plugging 9v in will give the tube 18v. They’re centre positive though, so you’d need to invert the supply.

    Rolling back to an earlier OS on MAC is a real pita. Basically you’ll need a copy of the installer and then you’ve got to partition the HD, install the old OS, move all of your stuff across and then boot from the new partition (old OS) and delete the partition with the newer OS on it. Unless of course you’ve got a Time Machine backup. You*do* have a TM backup, don’t you...? I didn’t; that’s how I know how to do this! 😉

    Ampeg SVP PRO from the mid ‘90s is my oldest piece of kit that I use regularly.

    I Could Have Lied by RHCP. Flea just sits in the roots and locks in with Chad’s kick. Superb playing.

    Bass head with a ‘line in’ (PA feed for example) that would blend with the bass signal and then broadcast to IEMs, either plugged or wireless.

    What’s the DC resistance of the 2 pickups? You could find that there’s a significant drop in output when they’re Wired in parallel.

    Brilliant piece of kit; a no brainer at that price.
  16. paul_5
    I think they’re just glued in, so a sharp knock on the pole pieces might just do it. Place a scrap piece of wood over the top and hit it with a hammer?

    Geddy Lee. Changed everything for me. Heard his amazing ‘corn flakes’ tone (you all know what I’m talking about) and bought my first bass the following week. He’s been through countless amp/backline endorsements and s fair few bass manufacturers, but has always been a 66Swingbass player, as am I.
  18. paul_5
    Oof! 😍

    My ears are telling me that ‘Don’t stop believing’ is fretless with a touch of overdrive.

    Why not just use a seed tray from your local garden centre?

    Jazz bass. Especially with Ernie Ball cobalt flats.

    Tuner first - it’ll mute your signal whilst you’re tuning up not just to your amp, but the PA (if you’re using the DI out as well). Also your tuner will be more accurate if you give it a clean signal without any effects - especially distortion/overdrive as these rely on adding harmonic content to your signal.

    Rehearsals should (IMHO) be like a meeting at work; don’t call one if you don’t need one. I once worked somewhere where there would be a scheduled meeting every Monday morning for 30 mins before actual ‘work’ started. Everyone had to come in early for half an hour if filler that could have been an email, which just made ya all resent it; only 2 people out of the 12 still work there...
  24. paul_5
    MDP again?
  25. paul_5
    Once the lug touches the shielding then your bass signal gets sent to ground, and you get silence. Electrical tape around the long part of the socket (on the outside) is a quick and easy fix. You could also try putting a locking washer or a spring washer (check your local hardware shop) around the jack to stop it moving in the future.
