I too have an ABM and no buzzing. I assume the buzzing disappears when the drive dial is on min, and gets progressively louder as you dial in more valve? Def sounds like an iffy valve, or perhaps not seated properly in its base. PS: Merry Christmas

[quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1355996896' post='1905368'] You vill be shot. [/quote] Don't tell em your name, Pike....

Is your Museum open on Bank Holidays? I promised the family we'd do something over the Christmas Period...

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1355872117' post='1904002'] Well, you [i]say[/i] that but surely it would also depend on the type of cheese. It has to be hard cheese. For example Gruyere or Parmesan rind makes excellent nut material. But even those as apparently 'firm' as - say - Cheddar or Wensleydale are useless in the practical sense. [/quote] well I suggest we ask those famous Luthiers, Wallace & Grommit, and be done with it...

[quote name='Acebassmusic' timestamp='1355739862' post='1901916'] Advantage = open notes sound like fretted notes. Disadvantage = they fall off in the cold.... Coat, hat and gloves on....exiting door rapidly.... [/quote] ha ha yes very good. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to come up with something along those lines. I was sorely tempted myself....

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1355578321' post='1900136'] Nope, you're correct. Currently 3 effects only. The G3 has recently had a version 2 firmware update that allows 6. Hopefully the B3 will get V2 as well [/quote] Ah thanks for confirming that. I really like the look of the B3, but if if it's the case I can only chain 3 effects together, it's a bit of a step back compared to the B2 in that respect, which pretty much replaces an entire pedal board. Compressor is dreadful though!

Thread resurrection society. My B2 is ill (one too many beers spilt on it I think), so considering an alternative - and I'm looking at individual pedals too at the moment, but that's a different topic. So, with the B2 I can chain 9 effects for each patch. Does the B3 do that too? It looks like it is just the equivalent of three effects pedals - but I could be wrong. Have I misread the manual? Can anyone enlighten me? CHeers Geoff

The GAK Bass Cave is a bloody dangerous place as it is. I once walked near it, fell inside, and came out with a practice amp in my hand. Even more treasures would just make things worse....

If i had £1500 spare, I could buy a good bass, a good amp and an excellent cab. And then go gigging. OR I could treat the family to a fabulous Christmas. I know which one I'd do, but that's only because I already have a good bass, amp and cab.

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1355304403' post='1896502'] Of course it could be to do with the bassists fingers.... Truckstop [/quote] Maybe his fingers were DI'd....

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1355268610' post='1896292'] I've been using a single Ashdown Mi12 for all of my gigs since they came out and I'm really happy with it-it basically took over from my Bergantino HS410. [/quote] So a single 12 took over from your 4x10. That's quite some testament to the abilities of the Ashdown. Impressive.

That's excellent. It's always a buzz, isn't it? Good luck, fingers crossed it's a good one.

I've done loads of covers on a P before. No originals yet though, which is mostly down to my lack of talent.

I love the way we start out with eschewing the virtues (or otherwise) of Mark King, and end up comparing Adele to a Star Wars character in the same thread. Only on Basschat....

Back on topic if we are allowed, have a try with one of those MBE cabs if possible. Same brand as your head if that means anything, and I'm sure will sound rather good, based on your budget. Don't be swayed by the 4 Ohm thing, its meaningless - too many fall for it, assuming it will make the most of their 4 ohm head.

Do you have a particular budget in mind? My first thought would be a GKE MBE212 - go for the 8 Ohm (£200 or so from Thomann while they last), I doubt you will notice the difference loudness-wise to a 4 Ohm, and it gives you the option to add another one at a later date for a lightweight vertical 4x12 stack for about £400. What's not to like? Yes I know you mentioned single cab solution, but you never know... And if you don't like the MBE, Thomann have e very fair and easy returns policy.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1354444558' post='1885932'] Has Leona Lewis got a personality? I thought it was locked away in a tin somewhere with Andy Murray's? [/quote] [/Terry Thomas mode on] I say, steady on there old bean. Are you really suggesting that there is a tin somewhere, containing the personalities of Leona and Andy? I'll have you know each has their own tin!

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1354662168' post='1888981'] Though I guess they go in and out of fashion. [/quote] I wonder if Fender have succumbed to this over the years? Or are they immune because of their 'elder statesman' status? My knowledge of their history is limited.

[quote name='Dandelion' timestamp='1354120212' post='1882342'] Try another lead. [/quote] Weren't The Police always looking for new leads?

What a brilliant ad, good luck with it mate. Apparently my band already has a useless bassist

[quote name='Shonks' timestamp='1353577708' post='1876157'] i feel like the character on the' fast show' the one in the pub who agreed with everyone even they had conflicting views...doh! [/quote] Yeah you are totally right, I know exactly how you feel....

I've been using their BLE100 limiter, and it works really well. Not tried the original Boss one so can't compare. For the price you cannot go wrong.

Mansion? I thought he only had flats... Sorry...

[quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1354196369' post='1883393'] Bass only for me. I can't and don't want to play guitar. [/quote] Ditto. Whenever I pick up a guitar (which is normally only to move it out of my way at a gig) I have no idea what to do with it. They are too small, cramped and with closely spaced cheese-wire running from nut to bridge.
