[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1379847250' post='2217301'] The 35W version is pretty small, and the one I had would just about manage a rehearsal with a (restrained) drummer. I mean a drummer that kept the volume down, not one that was tied up or anything. [/quote] You should try this - they're even quieter this way.

I've just built a Catalinbread Poblano Picoso clone and it's ACE! It's designed as a booster/buffer/ampeg grit pedal but can get really loud due to the boost circuit. Chuck a volume control on the output stage and it's a keeper for sure. Small enough to fit in a gig bag, and the parts cost even less than a BDI-21 too. Happy days.

Dunno. At least with a low B it doubles as a thumb rest.

Dunno really. I'm not massively attached to any of my kit; they're tools to do a job and nothing more. I [i]do[/i] love the sound of my fretless bitsa with 2 humbuckers though...

He's round at mine - we be chillin' I wish.

I'll sit on the fence and say Hydrive cabs (designed with LH amps in mind) and HA amps. Honestly, I could argue with myself in an empty room!

[quote name='visog' timestamp='1379185667' post='2209676'] Not happy with some of the advice so far... tapping!? WtF? [/quote] Calm down sunshine; just suggesting different approaches. Granted it's not a conventional 'normal' approach, but it works.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1379181088' post='2209602'] WARNING: Too close an interest in the workings of fuzz pedals can send you wibbly-hatstand! [/quote] It's too late for me, but you can still save yourself!

So it's not even a proper banjo? über crap!

Scott's got a medical condition (Focal Dystonia) and wears them for that reason. French player Etienne M'bapeé wears them too because he's got super acidic sweat. Back OT, Jamerson never changed his strings and either used an Ampeg or went straight to the desk. DOn't know about tone shaping on the desk, but those old B15s are "thumptastic"!

you could try tapping the low notes or the first of the high ones. That's getting a bit too complicated though...

Depending on the tempo I'd play the low F# with my plucking hand thumb, and the two high F#s with my 'normal' finger technique. Hope this helps, Mel.

Dunno, I had to upgrade to Lion 10.8 to get my macbook pro to connect to it, so maybe not.

A quarter pounder for my P bass. And a filet o' fish for my wife...

Shot in the head? Are they still making cabinets though?

scratch that, I've just made one. Not bad at all...

Is it any good for [s]metal[/s] Doom?

Anybody got any experience of these? If it does what I think it does it'll fit right into my master plan...

10 years?! Really?!

Play a G note on the E string (3rd fret) if it's the same frequency of hum, then it's definitely a grounding problem, as they are the same frequency (~50Hz)

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1378968134' post='2207042'] I'm only using a single Laney 4x10" and its plenty loud for what I need - I also play with two guitarists and a drummer plus I don't go through the PA. In fact last week when I was gigging my cab was in the corner of the room there was so much bass that it felt like my brain was vibrating but I could still hear every note. [/quote] Don't put it in the corner then! That'll make it very boomy (as you've just discovered).

I ran an LH1000 and then an LH500 into a hydrive 410 and it was always enough to keep up with a (very) loud drummer and two guitarists.
