I was looking at the Eich amps, but now I'm wondering if I should get down to Bass Direct to try one of these.

Personally I think it's brilliant that Alex had an idea an ran with it. And to attract someone of TC's quality is great and will no doubt help fill the order book. With so many start up companies going under within 12 months of starting I would have said Alex was utterly mental to set up a manufacturing company in the UK. But he's managed it, and whether I like the cabs or not (only tried the One10, and I've got my order in for a second one) it's a very welcome success story. I wonder if Larry Hartke would get the repeated slagging on here that Alex gets? Somehow I doubt it.

I used to. But now I gig with a One10 It's plenty loud enough to get over the clarinets

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1464730600' post='3062034'] Commerford is sufficiently high-profile that he could choose any brand he wanted under the same conditions. [/quote] No he couldn't Marshall don't give kit for free. The artists pay for it. They get a lot of support for tours etc thrown in, but they pay for the gear.

I ordered a second One10 the other day. Now I'm feeling inadequate.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1464713288' post='3061741'] That's what's behind him. He has three 15" JBL wedges in front of him. Apparently Brad keeps complaining that he's too loud... [/quote] Bloody hell. I bet his hearing is shagged.

I bet that's a bit loud. Surely he can afford some good monitors?

Sandberg VS4 Passive. The Mk1 version, as the Mk2 has a slightly different shape. The necks are all the same across the VS and TT range - very jazz like but with a flatter 'board. Very comfy indeed.

I must get round to trying it on vocals - the L6 forum guys reckon it's very good for that. I imagine a keyboard with any of the new generation modellers would be great fun. Alas I haven't got one to try it!

Glad I picked the Helix then! I run 2 amp blocks in parallel all the time, and on one of them I also have parallel FX too.

I wonder if there is confusion between amps and FX. http://www.musicradar.com/reviews/guitars/fractal-ax8-635766 The review says only 1 amp block - I wonder if it's 1 amp at a time, but parallel on FX? Amps need much more DSP than effects.

I play out for about 3 hours per week. The rest of the time I play at home. I love getting new music to try for my own advancement. I think I would be very wary of turning my love of the bass into a job. Bass is my stress relief and it is something I do for me and not other people. Turning my stress release into a job that might cause stress would be err, distressing.

I'm trying to cut down. I keep looking at my ancient Status Energy and wondering if I should move it on. I only ever play 5 strings now, but that old Status and I did years of gigs.

I've given in and ordered a second one.

Thanks chaps.

My main bass doesn't have any on the board face, and the side ones are so tiny that if I haven't got glasses on I can't see them anyway. That's the answer. Poke out your eyes!

I think the AX8 only has one path. No bass friendly split signals.

Do they exist? I've had Snarks and the little Planet Waves thing - but all seem to be awful on the B. Are there any that work?
