I would if I wore white

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1330521110' post='1558726'] Also be aware that the 450mm ones are actually only 236mm long. Just a heads up. [/quote] How big are the 750mm ones then?!

Added you to the list Jazzneck Just realised I hadn't added a cost to the listing, now done

I reckon Waynepunkdude is John Myung

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1330484506' post='1558276'] For what its worth, I got a message (after my badgering) that the Class D Bass500 has hit a bit of a hitch and will be delayed a couple more weeks. More fidgetty. I know its not been THAT long, but how long do I go before I just get a Mibass? [/quote] It's the risk you take when you order something that isn't available yet IMHO

Does he use tab or dots?

Check out the endsleigh music instrument insurance, seems to cover me for damn near everything at a ridiculously low cost (i think the only thing not covered is lending gear out)

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1330460186' post='1557941'] Looks like I'm the only person who didn't really "get" the Stone Roses. Oh well... [/quote] I've never heard them but shhhh...

[quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1330458083' post='1557900'] Let's not scare the fella off eh. [/quote] Hehe you sound like you're talking about a kitten.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1330440092' post='1557500'] For piano trio gigs.... [/quote] How awesome would it be to have a copy of that suit though?!

It wasn't meant to come across as defensive monitors IMO is even more of a personal thing than the instruments you play on. I've not tried Quested but I have to say, despite the price tag (and really wanting to like them) I really struggle to mix on modern Genelecs (some old ones I used were great). They made everything sound too nice, not bad for working on levels/dynamics/some effects but I didn't like EQ'ing on them at all.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1330436996' post='1557421'] See you there! I can't guarantee I'll be leaping to the balcony with my bass, but I'm sure that Mr Venom will be all over every inch of the structure! [/quote] Vids!

[quote name='jonunders' timestamp='1330432965' post='1557314'] Thank you Phil for your explanation. I now understand a little more without having to source a turbo charged, HD Kipper Transformer Jonathan [/quote] Slight adjustment

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1330425130' post='1557078'] The age of the old Yamaha white cones is gone. The only reason people used them so much is that they were so nasty sounding the theory was if you could get a mix to sound good on those they would sound good anywhere. The reality is ear fatigue after 15 minutes so everyone puts toilet paper on the tweeters! [/quote] I loved working with NS10's for years and could (and did) work happily on them for hours on end. So once I was sorting my home setup I wanted the same thing. Speakers which give me ear fatigue quickly were (in order that I remember): Tannoy Genelec Mackie It's a case of each to their own. I've done mixes on £12 headphones and just finished up the mix on NS10s before too. The end result is what matters

[quote name='mike257' timestamp='1330360157' post='1556204'] Don't know about too big to get nicked - mine folds flat in seconds. Get them, but screw the buggers down!! [/quote] Fair enough, if you coat them with superglue you'll get free instruments too

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1330366570' post='1556331'] Yep..always done this every month or so..and I hear the strings go off. I am not a slave to ultra bright anymore, but I need that edge so I liek to clean the bass. It can feel pretty gunky otherwise. Have to say, I am very impressed with my Newtone experiment..would recommned them in an instant.. opps.. I have [/quote] Glad they worked out for you, what tuning was it for again?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1330430412' post='1557253'] On another note, I'm sponsoring an orphan in Nepal with my BC profits. I bought him a little [b]guitar[/b] which he got yesterday and there's a video of him playing it that I'll upload. I've just sent him a mini sized BC polo!!! I'll put the pic in the thread when I have it :0) [/quote] What were you thinking?! In all seriousness though, that's pretty darn cool

I used D'addario Prosteels and Newtone Customs

Tried one through my RH450 and RS210 and it sounded pretty good I don't get on with the parallel strings though. If you don't get on with a Rick you could always get one made by a UK luthier to your spec?

Thats not live... it's recorded

For vocals it is an awesome Microphone, Rode stuff is seriously under-rated/priced. I've used it for guitar/vocals and drum overheads and loved the sound every time.

[quote name='BassmanJN' timestamp='1330383117' post='1556734'] Hi, I'm looking for a good but decently priced set of monitor speakers for a home recording set up. I'm not looking for anything outrageous, but I do like quality and clarity. To put it in perspective, I'm running a Presonus Audiobox USB in a MacBook, and using Studio One. The point being that I'm not going for anything mega professional. I'd prefer not to spend more than 200-300 quid... ...is this plausible? Any advice much appreciated! Thanks, B [/quote] A set of these won't do you wrong [url="http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/yamaha-hs50m-powered-monitor-single--30743"]http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/yamaha-hs50m-powered-monitor-single--30743[/url] It sort of depends on what you want/expect from your monitors. I personally a set of monitors to show up every flaw and know that if it sounds good on them then it will sound good damn near anywhere. I have the Yamahas myself and have been using them for approx. 6 or 7 years and still no complaints at all

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1330413548' post='1556903'] I think, as the others have put, that this is all part of the same thing. The bass still being audible, and doing it`s role, without being swamped by the other instruments. It`s funny though, thinking about this. Given how powerful bass rigs are nowadays, we could all adopt the same principles as our guitarist brethren, and turn everything up on full, and decimate the bands sounds, yet we don`t. I wonder why that is. Maybe there`s something to be said for the fact that the instrument matches our personalities, and we naturally prefer the background. Or, that we actually look to the sound of the whole band, rather than me, me, me. I know which I reckon it is. [/quote] Done exactly this at practice the other day to prove a point
