[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1385652731' post='2290723'] Could we have the "follow/unfollow topic" buttons shown on the mobile version please ? [/quote] I should probably know this, but what does the 'follow' button actually do? I'm guessing that it should notify you when there has been a new addition to the thread, but I've tried it and it didn't do that

For the first time ever, I have more than one pedal, so I thought I'd make a mini board:

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1385571948' post='2289810'] Depending on context, though..? Examples... "I am stood upon regularly by my dancing partner..." "I was sat at the back by the usher, there being more space..." "I was stood up at my very first date..! "I was sat on the stool by a very tall man, being too short myself, at 3 years old..." No..? [/quote] Quite right sir, if used in the passive sense as you have illustrated. My beef, and I should have been more specific, is when used in the active sense; they themselves caused the sitting or standing to happen. Every day I hear something like: "I'm sat here on the train...." or "They were stood at the bar, when suddenly...." It's like saying "Everyone was danced when suddenly the music stopped" Even BBC presenters are stood there saying it ;-)

Where did you get the 130db figure for the S12? That's jet engine territory :-D

[quote name='DiMarco' timestamp='1385478472' post='2288696'] Might look nice, but it is not a Dolphin anymore that way. [/quote] Bonus

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1385463157' post='2288472'] The 9.2 is the usual Genz Shuttle tone, which is tight, bright and clear. It will get much fuller if you engage the variable low boost which lowers the HPF...drop the hi mids to taste as well. [/quote] Thanks for that. Strangely enough, I liked the tight low end sound when engaging the mid scoop preset, but then dialling out the treble is difficult. I thought that the low boost sounded a bit muddier, I didn't know that that lowers the HPF cutoff. I'll keep playing, thanks.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1385381342' post='2287480'] I had a Shuttle 3 and traded it for a Shuttle 6, both reminded me of wasps trapped inside a bottle. [/quote] My 9.2 will take a bit of getting used to. I bought it for deep, clean low tones, but with the treble all the way down on both bass and amp, it's still a bit too bright! Still plenty of time to fiddle though...

I've had a look and only have spalted with a bit of flame (bizarrely, left over from a shoe cabinet I made) probably not the best for what you need. Nugget to the rescue!

I might have a few knocking about. I'll check tomorrow.

Correct: I'm standing.. I'm sitting.. I was standing.. I was sitting.. Incorrect: I am stood.. I am sat.. I was stood.. I was sat..

I listened to My Sharona. Is it me, or does the guitar come in late, then make another cock up soon after? I'm afraid the backing vocals sound bad on that song. Nice bass playing and tone though :-)

It would be much nicer if you rounded over that annoying point on the bottom of the bass

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1385377245' post='2287429'] yip all recorded and mixed at home on the cheap - who needs studios these days I like your stuff too, maybe we can do a gig together some time. [/quote] That would be great. I'll PM to see what can be done

Really really difficult choice this month. Well done everyone

Just some more thoughts a year on. - don't be fooled by the fact that it's a sealed cab - this thing has enough low end (if you want it) to do any full on dub gig. - I've recently been favouring a clean, deep sound for some dub numbers, and got a Shuttle 9.2 to play with. Through the '69er, this extremely transparent amp shows up that 'coloured' aspect that the '69er has. When I'm playing very deep, very clean tones, you can hear a small amount of speaker distortion, which I'm pretty sure is coming from the top left driver, doing its job as designed. I think that you'll never get ultra-clean tones from this cab, but that was pretty much understood from the beginning.

Gave the amp a facelift to match the '69er https://www.dropbox.com/s/nfsmcddgzdctj1m/aamp.JPG

An improvement for sure, a bit ACG

[quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1385339117' post='2287258'] I like it, I like the mix, I like the laid back deep roots feel. Just compared it to one of my band's tracks and it makes ours sound thin: [url="https://soundcloud.com/tacsiband/01-father-time-master"]https://soundcloud.com/tacsiband/01-father-time-master[/url] [/quote] Much appreciated, I always enjoy the Tacsi stuff you post. IIRC, yours was DIY recorded and mixed in your front room or something? Sounds pretty good to me!

[quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1385334751' post='2287200'] just had a listen with some different earphones[closed back panasonic] which tend to be more bassy than sony's used preveiosly and kinda got Nigels point ,for me lollipop could come down a notch, bottomless shoes,spot on and bombarder maybe e.q. low end down a fraction ,but mostly what i noticed was how strong your stuff is . think Im gonna be arming my pbass with some flats as well as the jazz when entering studio next! [/quote] Thanks a lot! Thanks for the mix feedback, it's all being taken under consideration The strings were pretty fresh status Hotwire flats - cheap and great

Cheers Lee, good to have a chat. Thanks to everyone else who has left feedback. For those who haven't, thanks for nothing ;-)

I don't tend to like very melodic basslines, but this is one exception, I love playing this one live

I like that Nigel, I love the effect on the vocals, and a very well written and performed song - she must have been well chuffed :-)

Yup, same here - fuses and preamp valve (6SN7) and a DI
