  1. All 3 of us went out for the soundcheck. The bass was perfectly balanced with the kit. The thing which irritated me was the amateurish reaction of the band. You do not change something on the say so of one muggle, or so I thought Anyway it's done now.
  2. Being told to turn down. Because someone in the audience said the bass was too loud. If we listen to every individual member of the audience for their sound preferences we'd just as well pack up. Currently in the middle of a gig where no one can hear me.
  3. Don't worry about it, getter I know
  4. Godfather 3?
  5. Speaking in the layest of layman's terms, is a noise gate like an upside down compressor?
  6. I must say that while I am genuinely grateful, no sarcasm - I mean it, for folk pointing out a potential problem I hadn't seen, it has rather dampened my excitement. Still better apprehensive now than disappointed later, right?
  7. 👍🏻
  8. Thank you.
  9. Could the bridge be in the wrong place?
  10. I'll give it a good thump 💪
  11. I hope it's the angle, thank you for pointing it out though. I'll have a good look when it arrives.
  12. Another great idea
  13. Yes!! Thankyou. And black tuners too.
  14. NBD is imminent at Black Towers. Continuing my apparant quest to replace every instrument I own with a P Bass of one sort or another I have jettisoned a P/J and am eagerly awaiting the bass stork. I'm calling her my Stealth Bass.
  15. Riffstation appears to be no more...
  16. Thank you.
  17. I have a Kent Armstrong in my old Aria, replaced the original pup when it died. It is a seriously good pick up. This looks amazing. Puts me in mind of the Aria in a way. Good luck.
  18. I have an OLP 5er, really rate these. Is this active? I'm assuming that it is.
  19. Fantastic reply, thank you.
  20. And two small combos.
  21. I'm embarrassed to admit I can't remember all the comings and goings. Especially since discovering the joy of trading, or renting as I think of it. Stuff comes in, stuff goes out. Had a really good spell of not buying but actually selling basses, think I've shipped about seven in the last few months. I doubt I make money, I'm a terrible business man. I certainly think I came off very very badly in one particular trade - financially speaking, but then in another I 'lost' a bass I never played and gained a wonderful amp. So that was a definite win. I'm down to 11 functioning basses, two in need of fixing, one on the way, two in the shop on commission and one singing a siren song to me in the same shop. I've also shifted couple of lovely amps and a couple of cabs. And brought in 6 cabs, and 4 heads and a clutter of effects has drifted in and drifted out. Bags. I buy bags, boxes, cases, sack trucks and dollies too. I try only to spend money raised from sales or gigs. I earn precious little else so that's kind of self fulfilling. Is 12 cabs a lot? I don't know.
  22. So, what's the difference between line in / line out, and send / return?
  23. Every word.
  24. Going with this at the weekend Smaller than the other TE 115 I have but nowhere near as heavy either. The 500x is actually only two 250w amps in one box. So both these cabs being 8ohm means two 125w amps (roughly speaking maybe a bit more). Don't know how comfy I'd feel with two 125 watt amps for a gig with no pa support but this sounds huge. Back I topic the 210 and 115 together are delicious.
  25. Yes mate happy to help. PM me to get away from the brickbats and heckling if the cheap seats
