Somebody killed a Peavey amp? Pictures, or it didn't happen.

Tiny Marshall 1x12 Bas combo Trace Elliott Series 6 AH100, 2x10 and 1153 cabs Ampeg SVP PRO ashdown Mag300 Trace Elliott aH130 SM Hartke LH1000 and Hydrive 410 cab. current rig: Ampeg SVP1500 and Aguilar tone Hammer DI through Hartke Hydrive 410 cab Not bad for nearly 20 years.

If you're happy with the tone from your bass then a Sansamp would be overkill. If you're just after transferring the sound of your bass into a soundcard, but using a DI box to balance it, then you could use either a passive or active DI box. It's always nice to have an active EQ on the box, as the sound of your bass on its own may not be the right sound in the mix, and being able to EQ it on the way in means less time fiddling later on. In that instance, the Sansamp (or similar) really comes into play. The quietest (noisewise) one I've used is the Aguilar tone hammer - 2 9v batteries, mains adaptor or phantom powered. Alternatives include the already mentioned Sansamp. Also check out Dave Hall's stuff, he does an Active DI box that will run on all 3 power options already mentioned and are really low noise, i think currenty they're under a ton brand new. if you want to spend even less money, then the Behringer BDI21 gets a lot of love around here. They're about £30 and it's basically a Sansamp clone. Not sure I'd gig with one, but you'll be fine with it in the studio. HTH, Paul.

Another +1 for the valve junior, really good for the money.

That sort of thing would be most unwelcome at my kind of party - there's nothing more annoying than a four bar loop when you're trying to play Scrabble.

I bought some Roto strings last week, put them on my bass only to find that the 'G' string was pretty dead. I emailed the company, and they're sending me out a replacement today. I'd say that's pretty good customer service. That is all.

My current drummer came already "broken in". Occasionally he'll coil one out on the rug, but it's a small price to pay for his great time-keeping and unshakeable groove.

Looks like it's still in his Uncle's attic.

another recommendation for the James LoMenzo pedal. It's got a really flexible distortion/EQ control, so you can vary the frequency at which the drive kicks in. The blend control is a great feature too. That's not to say that the B3K isn't a great piece of kit (it's fecking brilliant), but not everyone's budget will stretch that far.

The bump at 12k will probably give a little bit more 'sparkle' to the performance than a bog-standard 58 or similar. Lots of engineers I know would balk at the idea of using a condenser for live vocals, but in the words of Joe Meek - "if it sounds right, it IS right".

Maybe Something like this? [media]http://youtu.be/vMW3Q7TQars[/media] Just a thought.

Soooooo pretty! also, Happy Birthday.

Hi all, anybody know anything about Fostex T10 headphones? I've got a pair floating around, and wondered if they're any good? I'm currently using Grado GR 60s for DI'ing into Pro Tools through an Aguilar Tone Hammer. Is there any advantage to monitoring through different sets of cans? Just a bit curious, that's all....

[quote name='Pentode' timestamp='1326724730' post='1501027'] If the cab has wheels on it and you have a towbar........ [/quote] Pentode got it. Although, a Corsa with a towbar? Unlikely methinks...

Good for you. Also, they won't expect a Southpaw!

Oh Wayne, you are a one!

does it have wheels on the bottom?.......

also, they appear to have posted you a bass where everything is the wrong way around, I'd get them to rectify that too...
