  1. Does it do this at low volume as well or just high vol?
    First off, check the cabling, are the cables soldered or do they use clips on spades?
    Could be a loose connection so try to check that thoroughly before worrying about recones etc.
    Not many people do Ampeg recones but you can try Wembley speakers (http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/index-frames.html)
    They seem to do most things.

  2. Just to add,I had a very serious look at these and would have definitely bought them if I hadn't already committed to a new mixing desk.
    These are very nice speakers with loads of power and a great rep.
    A couple of half decent subs under these and you won't need anything else for a long time.
    Wish I could afford them bump!

  3. Sigh..
    Sort of like,if you think all mechanics are crap, but you know sod all about fixing cars.
    Just you know, practice taking your car door off at home,and then when the mechanic you use ,fixes it,criticise him and tell him you know better coz you practised at home with a19 mm socket for a bit and he's using a spanner.
    And a bloke on a forum said.....
    Come on Jt ffs,you don't know better than every sound engineer simply because you don't get the sound you think you want.
    Maybe you piss every engineer off by telling them how to do sound and they make you sound crap to piss you off too.

    Post EQ simply gives the engineer NO choice when mixing you bass tone into a mix you have no chance of hearing and means you'll probably sound sh*te.
    IMO blah blah.

  4. W Audio stereo power amp for sale.
    This has been a backup amp for me and has been used sparingly on monitors and occasionally to power the tops in one of my P.As
    Equally useful with a bass pre amp.
    I don't need it anymore.
    £60 picked up,prob can post for £10
    Now reduced to £50.

  5. I have for sale a good condition behringer digital mixing desk.
    For the fine detail you can google the spec but here's a few bullet points:

    12 mic pre inputs
    4 line inputs
    4 dedicated monitor auxes with 4 jack outputs
    4 dedicated FX auxes with 4 dedicated FX inc reverbs delays etc
    4 band parametric EQ on all inputs and outputs inc stereo out.
    Gates and compressors on all inputs and aux outs .
    Midi control of most functions E.g I used my GT6 rocker pedal to turn the rev up or down.
    Save and recall all settings.

    That's standard spec, but this desk has an ADAT card fitted which gives you 16 in and out which you can use with the optional ADA 800 pre amps.
    I also used it to record and playback 16 tracks from Cubase via an RME adat PCI card which I also have for sale.

    The cons are the desk had a bad rep because the capacitors used to sh*t themselves and it was quite an expensive fix, but LO! I only bought this desk because all the capacitors had been professionally upgraded and it hasn't missed a beat in over 60 gigs.
    I drove to Cardiff and back in a day because I wanted this desk.
    For the spec, there's nothing that can match it, for the price the nearest competitor is the yamaha 01v which has less EQ per chan, less aux and less expandability.
    There are lots of cheeky routing options that mean you can rout your auxes back through some input chans and set the EQ and compressors on all your monitor outs.
    There are 4 jack outs and a stereo xlr out
    With the optional 8 chan ADA preamp you get 8 extra ins and 8 extra outputs so you can route All auxes as monitor outs pre or post fade, or just use 6 and keep two for FX.
    No other desk at this price has so many Auxes to play with.
    Very versatile desk.
    It's rack mounted and I have the rack ears and the original box,a couple of light pipe optical cables and a load of tips and tweaks for this desk.
    If you have an ipad I'd be delighted to show you how you can control volume and pan via wifi.
    I'll post some pics tomorrow for those who want to see the actual thing in the flesh.
    It has some scratches etc, but overall in very good condition.
    I'm selling because I recently upgraded to a Soundcraft SI and this has to help pay for it, otherwise I'd keep it as a backup desk.
    I'm going to give it a few days on BC before the dreaded tbay.
    Any questions or queries or test drives welcome.

  6. I have for sale a four string OLP in Champagne with a Seymour Duncan pickup upgrade.
    It plays and sounds great but has a rather large ding on the underside where the previous owner got a little frustrated with that Muse bassline.
    Never bothered me as you can't see it and it's a working/gigging bass.
    Fitted with DR strings(can't remember which but they are medium),decent neck and plays well.
    Surplus to requirements and I need cash to fuel my P.A drive.
    £130 posted or can pickup/meet in the Northwest.

  7. Bitsa P for me.80s Hohner body bought some 80s pickups and a nicer neck but it still isn't worth £150.
    Done at least 50 gigs no prob and sounds fine.
    Recently I've been using a SUB, very cheap, sounds great,nobody in the audience gives a toss but me and the drummer love the sound.

  8. Yep,remember what it is you want.,which is to pick up that high end detail and fizz, that you reckon the D.I sounds a little flat on.
    However.. For me, I'd go for the 602 just because of its versatility in being able to mic kicks and so on,but the 609 may be a little cheaper.
