which of your pedals doesn't like being on a daisy chain? I daisy chain all mine. If you're worried about a different input on your EHX pedals you can buy adaptors for this. I would guess you need 1000Ma minimum, other than that, you should be OK

It's probably a different master for each format, which is why the two sound different. If they put the vinyl master on CD you shouldn't be able to tell (except it'd be missing the needle scratching etc)

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1442263986' post='2865673'] I'd like to point out that a bass cab isn't a PA. So while you can use DSP in a PA system for quite a few different things - lots of them really useful - on a bass cab all you can do is alter the frequency response a bit and perhaps add some judicious limiting. If a cab needs this kind of tweaking, it should probably have had more money spent on the drivers in the first place. So the comparison with PAs is misleading IMO. [/quote] My pedal board DI'd into a PA sounds miles better than it does through a bass rig, therefore I'd quite like a PA-style bass rig. Obviously it depends on what you're trying to achieve, but it'll suit some of us...Not that I'll ever afford one

I'm not bothered about success, therefore I enjoy it! I'm in a band with two very old mates, and whilst it was great fun at first to play loads of gigs, we hardly ever get together now. We probably play together once or twice a month at the most, and haven't gigged in ages. It doesn't bother me at all, I just love the music, and the guys If I wanted to try and make a living from playing I think it'd be very difficult to find a group of musicians that I know who could commit

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1442241039' post='2865402'] Yes. It's basic good manners and to not reply is nothing other than rude. I only get emails if someone starts a new conversation with me but I regularly check for messages if using my phone. [/quote] You can set it to email you each time you get a message, which is what I've done.

I turned on the email alerts for each PM as I'd missed a couple due to using the site on my mobile. It'll all be solved at some point I'm sure. There's probably someone developing a mobile app

Wigan Diggers festival on Saturday. We played really well, best for ages and the crowd loved it! Same band on Sunday at a small pub. Great beer and food, good money, but I played awfully. Apparently no-one else noticed, and we did go down well, but I hated every minute.

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1441870306' post='2862399'] First of all, there will be just as many people in the audience that find singer 1 as attractive as singer 2, regardless of what a bunch of sad old musicians think... [/quote] Yep!

I'd rather had a Hi-Fi rig which I can use to make any sound possible, including a "vintage" sound. Controversial I know, but in the studio I like to record as full a range signal as possible so that I have as many options open to me as possible. This applies to everything, not just bass. Obviously some people are convinced that to get X sound you need Y rig... fair enough

yeh if you plug your fuzz pedal into your stereo/computer speakers/studio monitors, you'll hear loads of high end fizz. You're not hearing it from your rig because the cab is filtering that out If you have a decent EQ on your amp, you might be able to EQ out this fizz and just continue as you are. Mine has a graphic which goes up to 12KHz. I have all sliders above 4KHz all the way down.

what email client are you using? I would google "find email header in X" X being the email client (gmail, outlook, whatever) The "sender" can easily be spoofed, but by viewing the header you can find the actual server the email originated from

Really? Mine's going into a Peavey combo and the DDT limiter light starts coming on if I have the level knob above half way. I played a gig a few weeks back and the soundman was begging me to turn down the output (for DI). Maybe I have a particularly loud pedalboard

well, you and everyone in this thread who reckons it looks legit Did you have a look at the email header?

I've got something listed for sale, and I listed it for almost £100 too much. A BCer PM'd me to tell me it was too expensive, in a very polite way, and I was very grateful for the advice. Based on that experience I'd always tell people in as polite a way as possible

not a lot he can do with just your address, especially since he knows you're going to be in. What did you choose?

Those of you who like a mid control on the BDI21, is this for further scooping? If not, I wonder is there a big difference between turning up the (modded) mid control, and turning down the bass and treble?

I use the BDI21 into a poweramp at the end of my pedalboard. I don't find I lack control over the mids, but then the graphic EQ still works on my amp, despite bypassing the pre-amp. I guess the EQ is right before the power section Anyway, the BDI21 is great and this gives me yet another excuse to post this [url="https://soundcloud.com/rifffactoryrecordings-1/creepjoint-bass-invader"]https://soundcloud.com/rifffactoryrecordings-1/creepjoint-bass-invader[/url] which is a squier bronco into the BDI21 into the desk

I'm sure the sound engineers gender had nothing to do with your bad experience! Bad sound really can ruin a gig. Quite often on shared gigs I find that there's a load of drums in the monitors, so you get ringing and boomy toms just adding low end rumble the whole time. It kills the enjoyment for me

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1441623179' post='2860268'] The Beatles learned thrir wisdom and creativity by doing their 10000 hours playing covers in pubs/bars/clubs like the Cavern and the Kaiserkellar. [/quote] Indeed, but all the american musicians who grew up in the 60s learned their wisdom from The Beatles on TV! EDIT: Sorry, I am being a bit sarcastic. There's loads to be learned from gigging, but I'd say it's mainly "stagecraft". I'm sure the Beatles had this in spades, and it's a big reason for their success. Was it more important than the music they wrote though? I don't think you learn how to write music by playing covers in a pub, but maybe I'm wrong?

To get back on this subject of "wisdom"... I think the "spirit" of The Beatles was creativity. They were constantly changing and innovating to create new and unique original music. This is what I learned from The Beatles. I too try to constantly change my approach to music, and attempt to produce music that's new, exciting, and original. I wonder how much use any of the "wisdom" learned from being "there" is when it comes to playing a covers set in a pub?

OK, not played there but there are loads of crap pubs in Crewe
