So, imagine what the ACS plugs with proper valves in would do for you.
Quieter, but with all the frequencies still there. -
App £35. rewind and postage.

Bet that one with the gaping gash sounds great.
Think maybe he's fibbing. -
Aah him.. He's a liar!

I've been experimenting with my lot lately, as we are considering IEMs for singer,guitarist and drummer.
So, we do have an E kit, which makes it all possible but he still likes to be pretty loud in his 15"400watt wedge.
What i have been doing is, before each rehearsal, over the last 3 weeks, just knocking master levels on wedges and FOH back a bit.
After 3 weeks i got a "It's a bit quiet tonight" type comments, but once we played one song, we instantly got used to it.
I did later knock it back up a little, for some vibe, you really can't play some stuff that quietly, but, basically, we have a clear as glass mix, can instantly hear if anything pops out of the mix, like a key part or guitar riff, and nobody needs earplugs.
This would still work with a real kit, because you probably are all playing louder than you need to, as it creeps up without anyone regulating it.
This is just best practice with noise anyway, but it really gets people disciplined when they know any obvious volume change will be noticed.
I'm sorry for all of you in bands with people who insist they have to play loud to make it work. They are wrong.
Btw, try standing in front of an AC30 and tell me it isn't very loud. I have to use a power soak on one client in large venues, just to be able to mix it properly. -
Is a good thing, they take it seriously, which is good for you should you join them.

Utter bastards!
Right, from your breathless one sentence with a comma in it, am going to presume you mean can you use your p.a and add a little low end by utilising your bass rig as the "sub"?
If so, yes, set the p.a as normal with some bangin choons.
Also,bypass or flatten off the bass rig EQ.
Use one of the monitor or aux out jack sockets and connect that to the input of your bass rig, turn the rig on, set at a low ish vol, play some tunes through a couple of chans on the desk, and turn the aux send on those chans up on the desk till you can hear it through your bass rig.
Adjust to taste.

I haven't tried anything other than the main inputs and levels. We're going to email Thomann and see if they'll take it back as its less than 2 years old.

Fair play, def worth a go!
Good luck! -
Sorry but it doesn't matter.
It's over with that mixer,for the cost of the repair you are definitely better off replacing rather than repairing.
Have you at least tried PFLing any channels on headphones and checking the signal path?
Sounds like a power stage problem to me, but you wont know till you check the signal path at least. -
In my experience the 1501s had insecure capacitors on spindly legs and weren't supported by glue etc, so when a leg failed it would take out the power amp.
Zillions of posts about them being expensive to repair and most people de amped them and ran them passive.
I quite like their sound, and of course they are lighter with no amp. -
I gave 2 to my daughter (who plays)in a sort of bass accounting dodge so they are not really mine anymore honest.
One in bits in the loft, oh, another on in the loft, one ready to be tarted up, and two that get gigged all the time.
So two.
Really. -
Indeed so. : ) Just to clarify, these are to fit a standard P bass cavity.

Hi, it got a screwdriver scrape : (
I does work, the jack socket in the pic is so I could test it off the bass.
The undamaged half is fine, the damaged half sounds thin and together it sounds like its out of phase with itself, if you know what I mean.
I think it will need rewinding ,perhaps by someone like Bass Doc. -
I have some Precision Bass Wizard Thumpers,one of which I managed to damage in an argument with a screwdriver/scratchplate incident.
Repairable or for use as a replacement for one you may have damaged yourself..

Thanks El Grecco for the bump.
Still here -
That's evolution for you.
Welcome,and look out for the tone fairy. -
But where's the sound to light unit going to go?
Pulsating bass cab anyone? -
This is an open and shut case.
SOLD -
Yep the se215s are popular and fairly cheap.
Remember the mic stand mounted wedge won't deal with your drummers sizzle! -
As above, in an ideal world thats how to do it.
But most of the gigs we do aren't in an ideal world with sympathetic band members and a decent stage.
My lot use an E kit,and while it isn't a Ludwig, I just couldn't bear the thought of having to stand half a metre from real cymbals being thraped by an over keen drummer.
Even a drummer who is doing his best to cool it will generate a massive amount of top end noise and that's unacceptable to me and my ears.
So, in ears offer a very versatile and good quality way of gigging a lot while retaining your hearing.
There's a reason all the top touring bands use them.

Hi , am interested in the unloaded cabs.
At the mo I'm using two front loaded Precision Devices 154s in Turbosound cloned compact boxes, and they are quite nice.
Would you say the Titans represent an upgrade from that?
I feel like I could do with two more PDs, but perhaps the Titans are another solution?
