[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1395914208' post='2407800'] Or used more than one cab with the same amp. I noticed this particularly when changing from a Barefaced Compact (which, to my ears, has quite a "middly" sound) to a TKS H115, which sounds a lot more "scooped" in comparison. More mid-boost needed from the bass and/or amp and/or graphic pedal. Next cab = Barefaced Big One, which is kind of half way between the two. Hey presto - graphic pedal no longer required. Sound is a funny thing... [/quote] Very funny indeed! Don't chuck away your EQ just yet, you might need it to adjust to specific rooms More than just the room changing, even your mood can change. I remember (back when I used to get to play the bass!) I would leave my amp and pedals all set the same for every practise. Sometimes it would sound amazing, sometimes it would sound rubbish. I guess sometimes you're just in the mood for it?

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1395910548' post='2407753'] How would they know? [/quote] If you've ever tried more than one amp without adjusting the EQ you would know

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1395776901' post='2406216'] [attachment=158592:MOMark.jpg] This has no EQ [/quote] Ahhh, I see, in that case I guess it will sound great in a studio, and at a portion of venues. There will be some venues where it doesn't work. Depending on whether or not you have PA support you may or may not need an EQ pedal or the like, to tailor the sound to the room

How do you know if it's "flat"? The manual might say that you've set all the EQ to "zero" or "does nothing" (sometimes anti clockwise, sometimes 12 o'clock) but that doesn't mean the amp isn't colouring the sound of your bass. I generally find the EQ on amps to be pretty useful and would very rarely leave it "flat"

[quote name='Tom Brookes Music' timestamp='1395745776' post='2405664'] Riff Factory in Stoke on Trent is fantastic....and only 20 quid for 3 hours including a good bass amp guitar amp and drum shell setup. Ant Hulme runs it. Top bloke. [/quote] Yeh, he's a very good mate of mine and his studio is excellent. He also struggles with equipment breakages but with good management is staying on top of these costs, so it can be done

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395333558' post='2401286'] Is it [i]your[/i] webcam that Mrs Dingus has been running those huge credit card bills to ? If so then please stop encouraging her. Then maybe she would have enough energy to make me a sausage sandwich, and I would actually have enough money left to buy the sausages. [/quote] Sorry mate, it's my bread and butter (and sausages)

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395329022' post='2401206'] "I can handle it, I know what I am doing" [/quote] When it comes to sausages mate, no-one handles them better

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1395326683' post='2401167'] There was a young man with a sticker put 99p on a Ritter So then a young lass Slapped him on the ass, saying "... ..." [/quote] "make us a sarnie love"

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395325498' post='2401145'] You are forcing vegetarian to get out of bed on a morning and stick half a pig's arse between two bits of bread to satisfy your animal appetite and you wonder why she isn't happy? Oh , this relationship needs to get to Relate at the first possible juncture, or you are looking at years of sullen and resentful sandwich- making misery! [/quote] You've got it all wrong! A sausage sandwich is my weekend treat, I have to make it myself. My main complaint was about the horrible sh*te sausages that sandwich shops use, because if they used good ones, I could stop in for a cheeky breakfast on the way to work. However, now I realise how important my physique is to the longevity of my "sandwich of love" I'll think myself lucky that I'm spared such a calorific indulgence.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395324284' post='2401122'] Spoke to a couple of butchers? Have you never heard the phrase "that's like asking a butcher if meat is good for you" , ? Ask Paul McCartney , Chrissie Hynde or Morrissey ( or a pig, for that matter) if sausages are O.K and you will get a very different answer. And if you are getting unsolicited cake in your lunchbox then it is time to start wondering exactly what it is she is feeling guilty about. [/quote] She is a veggie. Perhaps she's been adding extra pig penis to my sausage sandwiches and started feeling guilty about it?

I always keep the lowest slider on my graphic all the way down, just to get rid of mud

If you get a good sausage, you'll notice they're made from prime meat. Many scare stories about the contents of sausages put me off my favorite food for years. I actually looked in to it and spoke to a couple of butchers. I'm pretty confident I'm not just eating the tripe and sawdust off the abatoir floor Anyway, thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to never get married! It reminds me of another related event. I once opened my sandwich bag at work only to find an extra foil packet. Inside was cake! I got the cake for nothing, no extra compliments or shoe funds required.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395248064' post='2400213'] If you are this disappointed by sandwiches that don't deliver what you had hoped for , just wait 'til you get married. And then there is no one to blame or chase for a refund except yourself. [/quote] I am basically married. My girlfriend (8 years) makes me a sandwich for work most days, and she is an excellent sandwich maker [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1395248064' post='2400213'] Also, there is no such thing as a "good" sausage... [/quote] You are so wrong. My local butchers do chilli and leek sausages. If you don't like them you probably need a taste bud transplant.

I once bought a double quarter pounder with cheese but the whole sandwich only weighed half a pound. There was definitely cheese and a bun, they can't have weighed nothing

Why did Tesco stop doing the big chicken and stuffing wedge? It had loads of mayo and the stuffing was some sort of pork, sage, onion etc. It was my post gig snack of choice. I replaced it with a 4 pack of ale. I've considered suing tescos for causing my liver damage but that's probably pushing my luck a bit far. When you buy a pre-packed sandwich with onion, it has spring onion or red onion. When you buy a freshly made sandwich you get big chunky bits of white onion. I want fresh, but I don't want to stink for 2 days! The sausage sandwich is without a doubt the greatest culinary creation ever made, but to really pull it off, you need a good sausage. Why do no sandwich shops use decent sausages?!? There's one locally to me which is next door to a butchers, but she buys massive bags of cheap frozen sausages which basically taste like cardboad.

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1395243384' post='2400127'] I love when people get all high and mighty about this. Or when they say they will "see you in court" over something like £30 [/quote] The thing is a lot of shop/office workers will fall for it and capitulate. Fair enough, lose £2.50 for good customer relations, but £117 x 10 units! Not going to happen

I uploaded a set of prices to our website. Due to some quirk with decimal places, something that should be sold for £130 was listed at £13. Obviously some bright spark ordered loads at £13 to sell on. I apologised for the error and explained that I'd have to cancel and refund. They went mental about trading standards and false advertising. Funny thing was a guy in our warehouse saw it too and asked if he could have the lot at £13 to flog on Ebay! Cheeky bastard! You'd get a few sandwiches for £117! No Tesco big eat chicken and stuffing though, they're long gone, never to be seen again

no clean blend on the proton is there?

I would wait until you've found a modern rig good enough before you sell! I would say it's definitely possible for you to find a modern rig you like as much, but only you will be able to say which rig that is, and it may take a lot of searching I would imagine the "feel" you're getting from an all valve amp could be replicated with some clever compression. This is probably what they build in to the modellers. The Kemper is certainly very well regarded and worth a try if possible

I really want the MXR now

An old couple local to me were knocked out and robbed in their own home after agreeing to let a buyer collect... this was off ebay I think. You never know. If you have a large mate who can accompany you that would be best I think.

I like the dunlop thumb picks designed for acoustic guitar. It makes it much easier to grip and they're nice and thick. I like to play hard with a pick and generally grind them down very quickly having said all that I ran out of picks a couple of years ago and just don't bother now. If I want to "pick" I just use the nail of my finger, seems to work OK (until it rips and makes me cry) Also palm muting doesn't seem to have affected my wrists anywhere near as much as my teenage bedroom explorations. I wonder how many evenings Carol Kaye spent fantasising about Laura from the sixth form? It's not her technique that saved her from injury, it's a total lack of libido.

could do you a deal, link to my website is in my sig, there are plenty of examples on my soundcloud

I have a Zoom Q3, the video quality isn't great but the sound is ace!

ok, in that case ask Hartke and don't let it clip until you have an answer!
