I will holler if I ge stuck.

Cool. I don't really know how to use iMovie, so I'm going mess about in there, help files etc. logic I am fine with.

Well, so I gigged it on Friday. As I say, it is a bit ropey in terms of set up. But it works, and sounded great. Also really comfy to play. I broke a string half way through set one though (they must be very very old) doing some daft bending, as you do, so it was over to the MTD for the rest of the gig. I comparison the MTD is bigger and warmer and darker sounding, and sits in a mix better. However, the Hohner is bright and zingy and fun, and sounded great both clean and with a bit of grit. Ordered some double ball end Elites, and will get it cleaned and set up over the next few days. Need a new jack socket, as the old one is as loose as ..... Please, cost me nowt other than £30 to my tech to mend the preamp. New socket and full set up and fret dress will be £60 and then it will be one of my faves.

Good stuff My "day off"daytime lessons tomorrow (although it never ends up being a day off as such, working for myself) so I shall be mostly arseing around on the mac trying to get it sorted.

Ace, thanks very very much. So, can I record my audio into logic, and the video straight into iMovie at the same time?

My markbass. BDDI on top.

I do yes please :-)

They have a banner ad on this site too........

I play and teach both. I would say that basic coordination for a basic groove is not too hard for some people, but then neither is pumping out some eight notes on the E string. No, to do it well, and musically sensitively, more to the point, is difficult, and takes as much practice and dedication as any other instrument.

Yes. I end up depping for our own drummer when he can't make it as we know a few decent dep bassists, and far fewer drummers

Nice

Here is a pic to celebrate the return of the uploader

Great. To bring it back to full glory it needs.... Bloody good clean New stings although the ones are are quite zingy (what strings fit) Set up incl some fret work I think New battery compartment cover - might be hard to come by and the battery does to fall out so might not actually bother New foam under the bridge pickup so that is can be raised a bit more. I though about new pickups, but to be fair the ones it is proper roar, so might not bother. But that is about is, might put some straplocks on it I guess, if I end up gigging it lot, which I might well do.

So, you will know form my sig that I have one of these, and now it is actually working, it sounds immense. I mean, really really nice. Great for slap, and in fact for everything. Still needs work, set up , bla bla, but I'm gonna gig it this weekend and see how it fares. Lovely, especially since I was given it as someone was throwing it out lol

No one?

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1359045721' post='1948980'] I also had a LMII and two 2 x 10 traveller cabs at one time. That is also a superb sounding, easily transported and flexible setup and, if anything, an improvement in sound compared to the 1 x 12 combo plus 1 x 12 cab. Frank. [/quote] I am beyond happy with it. Spent far too much time f**king around this last couple of years, and have come back to pretty much where I started (used to use LM2 and MB410). Gas, Gone.

OK, so I am sure there is a wealth of "information" on the web on this, but by bass buddies will no doubt be able to distill their collective experience into something meaningful. I am after a small, portable, reliable, easy to use video camera. I will use it to record songs at gigs, so it needs to be good in low light, and able to pick up decent sound without any external mics. I will also use it in my teaching studio to do youtube clips etc. I used to use a Fuji Digital Cam - a finepix 5600 or something, one of those "almost SLR" jobbies, and the mic and picture gave very good results - certainly good enough for the internet, where the end results will end up. However, I sold it, and got a Nikon D90 SLR, which I am not happy lending out to our roadie to film us on - he would be careful, but it is too valuable in case anything happens. So, ladies and gents of bassdom, fire away.

Very good little amps. Just sold mine, but only because a chap I know locally was selling a lm3 and 2 102 trav cabs, almost new, so I took the opportunity to change. But, yeah, ace combo.

Obv, make sure you get leads with the right connections. Our desk will output on xlr and jack on the aux sends, and the monitors accept both, hence it is easy to use any lead that is not a speaker lead.

We use xlr leads just normal mic cables, or guitar leads, depending what is handy.
