And apparently its only a three man lift too

Or (and I admit this is now getting properly silly) A Big One and a Big Sub not bridged, since you are doing dub that would be all the deep bass you could ever ever need. You may have to take out extra insurance to cover for the inadvertant bowel surgery that that would cause on the audience (and maybe yourself) though....

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='640762' date='Oct 30 2009, 09:20 AM']Mike Brooks still has my nylons collection...er. sorry, wrong web forum! I've not used them for some time but used to have a Precision strung in such a fashion - a real bass sound! Herbie Flowers has had the same set on his lovely old Jazz bass for at least 20 years...![/quote] That's a hell of a jazz that Herbie's got, apparently it was a preproduction model or some such, had some weird distortion preamp in it at some point (which Herb thankfully ripped out cos it was a pile of elephant excrement). Thers a web page about it all somewhere (try google, I cant be bothered to right now!).

Just get 2 more of exactly the same cabs as you have now, then dont bridge the Eden, but run parallel from the bottom to the 2 1x15s and parallel to the top fro the 2 2x10s You will get a MASSIVE increase in volume this way (~6dB). OR better yet buy 2 Barefaced Vintages (4 Ohms each) and run the whole lot [b]not[/b] bridged. That would tear the roof of the sucka all right since the vintage is more efficient

Nice one mate - now all you've got to do is figure out which of the arsenal of amps and cabs you've been squirrelling away you want to unleash on them first

Can if you want. Then you can get to have a jam with me old mate Terry Popple if you want to. He's a properly top drummer mate, well worth a bash with him, he played for Van Morrison (all be it a long time ago ). Superb bloke too!

Quick reminder-stylee bump - this is on this Sunday, chaps! Alex, will you be bringing your troupe of BareFaced Midgets? (Oh the mental imagery that conjures ) If so I'll bring my rack as well as my bass, cos I'd really like to hear one with all my gubbins running into it (especially a T'Midget if one is ready!!!) See you there... Si

[quote name='turtlemoon' post='639969' date='Oct 29 2009, 12:46 PM']Just to say Iam now the proud owner of a bergantino HS410 which I bought from stevefletch59. He let me audition the cab with my band and was very impressed , so thanks for that Steve. So now I have the cab I just need a warm and fat amp to power it , any recomendations ? The hartke sounds ok but not really powerful enough.[/quote] Markbass LMII or III LMII go for about £400 second hand. They are definitely warm sounding solid state amps, and weigh nothing to speak of! The match up with the HS410 is superb too, it will definitely be loud enough for any no PA situation you find. My sa450 is essentially the same power section and into my ae410 it easily filled a 300+ venue without PA support. loud but not stupid volume, with plenty more left in reserve.

Cr@p by the sound of it.... Did he not have piccies of this on the sale?

if they have one of those XLR to phonos incorrectly wired you could get all sorts of phase nastiness I would think. Is your bass active? If the jack into said bass was active, then any amount of weirdness may happen due to the stereo socket in the bass used to trigger the active-ness I would imagine. Short answer, no IME a jack to jack lead to a wall box and a jack to jack from next wall box to amp would be more normal ie most wall boxes also have some nice jack input/outputs on them. Course other people may experienced other ways of wiring up to achieve this.

grooves like hell though!

Spotify by default is entirely free. You have to put up with the occasional ad. Or you can spend 9.99 a month to not have ads. The ads arent as intrusive as FM radio IMO, and that makes it a win for me!

It is on spotify though [url="http://open.spotify.com/track/4MmaH0gfufdTwY8Lx2jF3b"]http://open.spotify.com/track/4MmaH0gfufdTwY8Lx2jF3b[/url] And wonderful it is too!

Commiserations, really, but I'm sure you can work a way around this. Lighter bass, two bass straps - one over each shoulder - and a belt strap to better spread the load. Or if even that isnt enough, they used to do stands for acoustic guitars and the like that held them in playing position - largely for spandex wearing lead guitarists who needed access to an acoustic in the generic power ballad in the set. Surely you could modify something like that to take the weight of the bass?? It might not look so cool, but you'd be gigging!

Funy that - if I want to listen to virtuosic bass I listen to some Meshel or Bob Marley . With the sole exception of Michael Manring, who I dont actually think is playin bass, he is composing music on a four stringed instrement that fully deserves the Hyper tag. He still surprises, amazes and delights me with his compositions. And he really isnt w**k*** IMO. As for Vic, Alain, Marcus etc heard all they do ages ago

TOP Chances of more of 'em dieing before they get back over here is fairly high now - there's a happy thought!

Use anything u like that I posted in the photo thread, although they are probably all rather blurry and plop due to my massive deficit of talent in that area....

Yeah baby hit me up with a subscription!

bass -> comp -> tuner -> head I want more pedals for sploinky funkiness though

Starter for ten is the LMIII. That's the bomb right there. If you want a quicker punchier feel and have the bucks go for an uber ickle F500 (especially brilliant into a Berg ae410 by all accounts). If you want more tone shaping then go for an sa450 (I like!) If you need more grunt then and SD800 (massively wide sound with buckets of headroom) If you want tubes then try those options, but bear in mind outside of the classic 300 you are paying a lot for a very clean tube pre, rather tha something that will break up. Personally I see no real reason in the tube 800 or LMIII tube. YMMV....

Yeah, and while you're at it, tidy your room, put the cat out, the dog needs feeding, and there's downstairs to decorate! Chop chop!
