charic

New "possible" bands added to the list. Anyone else game? Also who's up for attending and with what gear?

Nothing useful to add but I just wanted to point out that this thread is now probably being investigated

[quote name='basstech' timestamp='1329770713' post='1547154'] Hey Charic ..... Going through BC 2x12 and BC 2x10.. [/quote] That may have something to do with it, through 2 x rs210 my RH450 managed to keep pace with a PA drums, Vocals, 200w orange guitar amp cranked. It's a loud beast but my only experience with the BC cabs was with a bassist tuned to drop G so I can't post a realistic opinion. I would try it with different cabs before giving up. Is it the RH450 or the RH750?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329775564' post='1547285'] One of my bands may be interested in this - and we`ve got [u]two[/u] bassists! [/quote] Love it! PM'd!

This is me playing a keyboard older than me!!! [url="http://soundcloud.com/thebrokensky/1985-hohner-pk150-improv"]http://soundcloud.co...er-pk150-improv[/url] Nowhere near my best playing but I've always enjoyed listening to this back for some reason. Please bear in mind it is [b]ENTIRELY[/b] improvised Hmm... It's gone to a strange format... hold on.. Ha! That did it

[quote name='gafbass02' timestamp='1329774384' post='1547246'] I'm interested! I'm really really struggling too! And have a pa and huge set list It's doing my head in trying to get bookings! [/quote] PM'd mate , I've got to decipher my old notes of venues now. I suppose now would be a good time to digitise it!

It depends on what you're doing mate, if you're equipped to do pub gigs (with a long enough set to boot) then I can give you a HUUUUUGE list of venues and contact details. [b]Also[/b] I'm currently looking for bands for the EA Bass Bash, charity event and whatnot but I'm trying to use as many BC bands as possible. Let me know if you're interested

[quote name='basstech' timestamp='1329763337' post='1546965'] Yes I [i]know[/i] they're very good amps (I've got one), but they all apparently use an internal power/peak compression 'safety' system - which in effect can in reality nearly halve the RMS output from the amp.......I wish I'd read the smallprint...... Although it can sound 'loud', I did wonder why the basic amp sounded compressed (even without using the on-board compressor) .... Just think, the sound is compressed internally, u can compress it on the amp [i]and[/i] you may even have a nice rack compressor to compress it again.........does that turn the sound inside out? Now looking for new amp.... [/quote] What cabs are you going through?

Look forward to hearing it. I enjoyed the tunes on your soundcloud :-)

If you put a 1/4 and a BAII on there it will sound very VERY close to my MIM I would expect, with a pick it's very clear and defined. Not so good for mellow stuff. If you're anywhere near me then you're welcome to come give my MIM a go

Kick and two high quality overheads does make for a great recorded kit in a dry room

I love the QP in mine

[quote name='basstech' timestamp='1328302354' post='1525337'] I've got a tc bh500 amp with built in compressor but it cuts far too much frequency even at a very low operation. Who does the best compressor where u can control all parameters pl guys? Ta J [/quote] Compressors don't cut frequencies, are you sure it's not just a characteristic of the amp? (The RH450 has a low pass filter) As for the best compressor... This would probably do quite a good job [url="http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/tube-tech-smc-2bm-multiband-mastering-opto-compressor--65892"]http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/tube-tech-smc-2bm-multiband-mastering-opto-compressor--65892[/url] Only half joking tbh, I've recently started to wonder, why don't people use studio compressors instead of pedal based ones? Rackmount and away!

Knew that would convince you

A compressor would probably help. Also worth checking your EQ

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1329519288' post='1543922'] Where did you read this? I'm always gear stalking my idols Also, I'll agree with other who have said guitar distortions sound great on bass! Try to find a Marshall Jackhammer somewhere if you can, I got mine given to me by a mate as it's not so good on guitar... but it's the best dirt pedal i own! I didn't notice any low end loss, and there's even an EQ/contour section on the pedal for unlimited options [/quote] Wikipedia :-D

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1329499410' post='1543499'] Any reason you're going for the B9? Not tried one but I thought it had nearly the same effects as the B2, which doesn't do heavy distortion very well. The B3 on the other hand has a GREAT Bass Big Muff simulation and all kinds of clean blend trickery to keep things punchy. [/quote] Purely for the number of options. Plus I expect the tube pre will help with drive. I'd like to try one but eq, drive and ambient effects all mean I should able to do a lot with the pedal and not make much of a loss if I decide to move it on. Also apparently all effects have a clean blend. Like I say need to wait n see if i can test but to me the 9 looks much better fit than the 3.

Why not practice with her facing the speakers and you lot?

This may sound very VERY silly but has she tried singing louder?

[quote name='jjay69' timestamp='1329488366' post='1543263'] Phew, i just had my lunch so my guts are sorted, but my brain is now on full gorge mode, maybe it needs compressing too.. No thanks, again v useful, lm almost sold but keep em coming .. [/quote] You Without compressor > < You With Compressor

That was just to hide the drugs

What does it weigh without the mesh cover?

I'm actually fairly sure he'd enjoy that
