Tell him you're putting what you have up, if he wants to spend more of his own time and money redoing parts he's welcome to, next time he should get his stuff down before going into the studio though.

Depends on the quality of the cab the crossover and the tweater. I really dislike the tweeters in the Eden gear I've tried, you have to turn them wayyyy down or lose any hearing abpve 2K I like the tweeter in my ae410 more, and can live with it louder esp in a band setting - its very nice. Even then I dont like too much, just enough! The tweeter in my son's HT210 is gorgeous though, way smoother than even the ae410

Another one converted... Mwahahhahhahhahhaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Top looking rig mate. Only reason I went for a single 410 is it fit in my car better - that and I'm a skin flint of course

I've had a bad back since I lifted an old HH 215 and tried to carry it through a doorway that I didnt quite fit through when I was about 22. Its never properly healed, so I know how debilitating backs can be. The AE410 is tiny for a 410, really small but sounds huge. I can carry it from car to stage without any problems and I'm unfit and lazy as hell as well as having said bad back. Its not the most comfortable lift in the world (it does way something after all) but its nothing like you'd expect. I have nothing against the 112 and 210 concept, but if a single cab solution is what you want then the 410 is magic!

Whenever I walk away from my rig I pocket the fuses. I take my bass in its gig bag everywhere. Whenever anyone says 'Can I have a go' I say 'Sorry, no'. The inevitable 'Why? Oh go on!' is responded to with 'Put 7 grand in my hand right now and you can have a go, anything happens to any of my gear at all and I pocket all the cash' shuts them up. I don't lend gear to anyone, too many accidents through lack of care even by trusted friends to do it anymore. I'm polite but firm. I have spent a huge amount of effort saving up for the kit I have. I am not about to risk losing the kit or a friend over the kit. It's best for everyone that way. I think you did exactly the right thing mate.

Immense [size=6]+1[/size] from me for Berg AE cabs, you will be hard pushed to actually buy a better cab IMO. You may find one that suits you more, but better, I dont think so... Also really dig the Markbass kit, but its become very expensive recently...

Sheesh mate, get over it, thats the risk, try again. The reward for me would be to play in a truly original band again and blow away a big crowd of people I've never met in a venue out of town with a bunch of other bands there too. Only happened once to me before that I can remember (the important part being how original/different this band sounded to the generic stuff at the time) and that band folded two months later after 6 years work getting to that point... Get back on the bike and keep on pedalling!

And be old enough to drive to gigs yourself too no doubt....

[quote name='chris_b' post='431685' date='Mar 11 2009, 05:10 PM']Thunderfunk amps and Bergantino cabs are designed and manufactured by the guys who own and run the companies. Dave Funk personally signs every amp. If you phone or email you get an answer from the main man. It’s nice to be able to talk to the guy who made your gear.[/quote] +1 Jim B is certainly not averse to picking up the phone when a customer calls. Its a good reputation to have IMO!

[quote name='Plux_the_Duck' post='431559' date='Mar 11 2009, 02:55 PM']i hate the exchange rate i want little mark but they cost so much[/quote] Dont worry son, with much saving and doing lots of work around the house you may well buy one eventually, until then get on with the washing up In the mean time quit complaining, I doubt there's many here who can honestly say their first rig is a patch on yours, lucky swine, kids today, dont know they're born (fatherly rant ensues)

Oh that just takes the biscuit. His was one of the best free learnig tools on the web. I defy those corporate @55hats to find one musician involved in any way with any one of the songs he did a play along to who was in remotely upset that he was posting. Most of the stuff he covered was pretty old and he was doing it for free. The fact that that would allow more people to cover those songs, and by dint of that get more PRS royalties from live venues to the artists in question should be enough IMO. Neveer mind the direct and indirect free advertising. They should be paying him!! Sometimes this copyright business is insane. Corporate multimedia appears to always be. Totally wrongheaded behaviour by some soulless beancounter scum. Thats ruined my day

[quote name='molan' post='423966' date='Mar 3 2009, 10:56 AM']I gigged with mine on Saturday. Vaguely amusing little story from the interval of the gig when a bass player in the audience started talking to me. He told me had a newish Fender USA Jazz. I mentioned that whilst I liked the good old J bass I'd only ever owned one Fender and that was an old '70's Musicmaster. He then proceeded to go through a long speech about how great Fenders were and took great pains to explain that if a US Standard was a bit expensive for me then I should consider the Mex basses as they were such great quality. I'm fairly sure that because I was using a tiny Benz Shuttle for amplification at the gig he thought I was a bit of a bass man on the cheap and that the MTD must have been some cheapo Korean thing. I asked what he thought of my bass and he said it looked pretty. I said that it was a USA MTD and that he should try one if he got a chance.He said he'd look out for them in a fairly offhand way and I then casually mentioned that they were excellent but quite expensive - about £3K new but if he shopped around he might be lucky enough to find a used one for somewhere around the £2K mark. . . His jaw dropped and and his mouth gaped open for ages - he then completely stuttered over his words for a minute or two and then quietly shuffled away, lol. N.B. I really do like Fender J basses & I would never normally have tried to pull any sort of 'one-upmanship' trick like this (not least because the price of something may not be a true reflection of value & it's all subjective anyway) but he was very condescending in the way he was talking to me so I couldn't resist [/quote] "Bwahahahahaaaaaaa and frickin lazer beams pop out and everything!!!" Cruel, mate - I mean he deserved it but cruel. Nice

[quote name='alexclaber' post='429254' date='Mar 9 2009, 12:21 PM']My thought exactly - something off Plantation Lullabies. Fantastic playing! Alex[/quote] Nice, I think she's quoting God Fear Money even if she didn't realise it.

Something damned similar to one of hers any way.

Could listen to her jam on two chords all day myself. Love that kind of playing. Although its more fun to play than listen to if I'm really honest (I can attempt to play like that all week without getting in the slightest bit bored), that is absolutely dependent on a drummer who's great at working off the tiniest inflections and rhythmic pushes and what have you, a drum machine is not what you need Cheers for posting though, I'm always after little bits of Meshell to cop the feel of (oo-er), love her funkier stuff, the introspective soul searching stuff I can live without...

I dont think £50 is expensive for a half decent little mixer..... This is the Mix120, for the same price :wacko: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tapco-Mackie-Mix-120-Mixer_W0QQitemZ230328509561QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Mixers?hash=item230328509561&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tapco-Mackie-Mix-120...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url] 4 XLR inputs and 2 stereo line inputs, phantom power on XLR's.

I got a Korg DTR [b]2[/b]000 from Music King for £123 new. I only got the 2000 cos it was as cheap there as some other places were doing the dtr1000. It tracks really well. I've been running it after my compressor in line so as to use its mute functionality when tuning. Does what it says on the tin frankly....

I would love to, just once, come up with a bass line as simple, elegant, 'right' and catchy as the one on Walking On The Moon. Absolute class. And some of the syncopation between his singing and playing have convinced me he is in fact an alien. I have always been blown away by the Police, I was a wee nipper when I firs theard them on the Radio and even then I thought they were a cut above, although I couldn't have said why exactly.
