  1. Oh no! That's frustrating. Make sure you ask a band mate for help lifting first time you take it out. Make a big show as you grunt and heave getting it out the car. Then laugh gaily as they nearly throw it over their shoulder!
  2. I could not be happier with the BF cabs I have and the different options they afford me. But every time I watch one of Alex's videos I just want to buy ALL the cabs.
  3. A VS 4 I believe. The one on sale here (until recently)
  4. Be joining you next week ladies and gents.
  5. I was free from bass gas for months and months. Really thought it was over. So why was I even on the Thomann website that day? And why did I ask for help on this forum of all places? Obviously because I thought I could toy with forces greater than myself. Looking back I see now that during the months of freedom from bass gas I was in the midst of quite insane pedal buying and selling. Some I moved on after barely even trying them. Most I never used live even once.
  6. OK , I've read up on asdr, I get what each thing does, how in interacts with each other thing. But the sound still just turns off abruptly. It doesn't fade to nothing.
  7. How do I cause a synth sound to fade after being held for a specific length of time? The instrument sound fades naturally of course, and I'm not trying to make them fade together. I'm happy for the synth sound to last longer. Anyone any ideas?
  8. Ah yes, the missing Trace cap conundrum. Where do they go?
  9. I will be opening up my RM for the first time on Saturday. I have the combo with the 12" speaker + the 12" extension. Does the job at bedroom levels but when we meet for a socially distant rehearsal I'll be able to try it in a band setting. Of course I also want to try my Trace Elliot Elf but that serves me right for being greedy.
  10. God, even when I'm not trying. Quick get the London Palladium on the phone
  11. That's a pain. I had a Peavey used to eat batteries, and it took 2 of them 🤦🏼‍♂️ Have 2 active HBs don't have this issue, damned unfortunate. Maybe some sparky here can shed light on the possible causes
  12. As you say let's leave it here, I can't debate with someone who can publicly say something this silly. Unless it's a joke in which case 😂😂😂
  13. You will be very very happy. Its not that big, it's soo light and it sounds amazing.
  14. Interesting reading the above how differently we can all see similar things. I still see cheap or modern lightweight stuff denigrated and treated with contempt often by folk who don't actually use it. Yet the last post speaks of Harley Benton hype! I would love these quality, inexpensive instruments to get the recognition they deserve. Price tags don't interest me unless something is astonishingly good or astonishingly poor value for money. Anyway I don't sacrifice anything to get the sound I want, but I have made decisions which take into account weight and size. As a working musician I have no choice but to use the cheapest possible car. So my three cab Trace Elliot stack had to go.
  15. But of a makeover?? @Al Krow that's a whole different ball game.
  16. This is gone, pending the last bits and bobs
  17. These really are excellent basses, and with the prices for new ones shooting up recently I'm surprised this one is still here.
  18. I know not. I had the Whammy and that was good too. The Ricochet I very nearly sold but its just too good. My soul band has no guitar (JOY) and if ever we really really felt we needed a couple of chords somewhere I could in theory provide them. Say the intro to me Nutbush for example.
  19. Best octaves I've used. For a pure octave up which I can use to play chords and sound like a guitar: Digitech Ricochet. For OC2 like synthy stuff: Valeton OC-10 General all round octave up/down : Joyo XVI I've also owned POG, Sub'n'up, EBS, various Zooms.
  20. I don't doubt it. If I hadn't recycled the book I'd find the exact quote to give context. Disco was indeed a hugely significant musical force
