  1. Not well up on Spector model names, but I've seen this model before as a US version. Don't think there's anything suspicious about this one. The spalted maple looks similar to a top I had on a Washburn guitar.
  2. Since it's a rehearsal room setup and not for gigging I could use the 6 auxes as 3 stereo pairs and the main outs/desk headphone outs as the 4th though, couldn't I?
  3. Doesn't the P1 need a headphone amp before it in the chain? I think mono in this instance means sends the same signal to both ears. EDIT: Actually reading up a bit on the PM1 it does stereo too, but it DOES need a headphone amp. I have the PM1 and it does just fine for what I've tried so far (not been outside the house yet! Only used it in mono). But I like the look of the P2 as it does stereo on a single cable - just need to figure out how to wire it up for 4 users from an X18 desk...
  4. Sold!
  5. Excellent news that! I'll get the ipad hooked up over the weekend. Bit of high pass filter in bias might help this thing no end. Must have a look inside mine. I'm not averse to using a screwdriver but, as you say Maude, not for £600... For £200 I'm much more willing
  6. Hi, yes still available. From memory the nut width is 41mm (I remember it being a nice round number!).
  7. Got mine today. Sounds pretty good as a Bluetooth speaker - up and away on that score within 5 seconds of plugging it in. Not what you'd call amazing as a bass amp. Mine doesn't fart on open E per se... Just reminds you it's not actually a bass cab and could do with a high pass filter about 80Hz! Cutting bass back to 9 o'clock took the stress out of the cab, but sounded a bit pants. It was sitting on my rather cluttered kitchen table during this so I must try it on our solid floors to see how it fairs. I'm a bit disappointed the app connected feature won't work with bias, etc. The engineer in me had assumed it was basically a glorified fx loop and therefore any amp sim would work. The original iRig worked using the 3 pole 1/8" jack on the iPhone so assumed this would work the same. May fiddle with this a bit... I'm too invested in bias to even consider another app. Overall I'm not disappointed as it's pretty ("oak" front - actually it's vinyl wrap but looks OK from more than a few feet away!), sounds reasonably good as a Bluetooth speaker, can take bass even if it's not quite a bass amp, and has a lot of connectivity options. Haven't tried the wireless dongle yet. I still think it was beyond stupid of Ashdown to market this at its original price (look like a 600 quid plus piece of kit it certainly doesn't), but at what I've paid for this I'll certainly keep it around!
  8. Sorry Alex! Didn't mean to misrepresent you sir. Perhaps this will suffice:
  9. Bump due to a few unforeseen bills...
  10. Never in the history of all things bass have I had less need for something, but wanted it so much...
  11. If I recall correctly, Alex at barefaced has talked folks out of the 3x10 setup in the past... Not enough of an improvement over 2x10 to bother. It was something I'd considered in the past myself, but Alex knows his beans so avoided it as soon as I heard he'd expressed his opinion (but open to being corrected by chris_b who has first hand experience!)... The D800 does 2 ohms so why not add a 4 ohm Two10 to your pair of One10s? Ultimate modular setup!
  12. It depends on how you set the tone controls on the OJ, you can make it sound thin or low end heavy, but I was only using a P bass through headphones...

    DIY Effects

    Having built one I wouldn't attempt it without the pre-drilled enclosure. Not the easiest build with stacking PCBs, and it confirmed to me that I'm REALLY picky about compression (PWNZOR being the only one I've really liked that I've owned - carl martin optical thingy was ok). Sold it to @Gareth Hughes of this parish who likes it muchly - more than his original dbx.
  14. Stoking up some Warwick GAS this one! Even been to check out The Gallery website, but not been updated yet...
  15. LUSH!
  16. I have a little Kitsound Hive (not the Hive 2) and it punches well above its weight if you have it on the right sort of surface (has a bottom firing passive radiator that makes a BIG difference to the bass content). Cost me £35 in Sainsbury's sale a couple of years back and it can be had cheaper now (as can the v2 which I haven't heard). Well worth a look in my opinion.
  17. Now that's interesting!
  18. That's a sweet gig! Sounds great... Only question I have is why wouldn't you wear the Santa hat on the BBC1 Live Lounge?
  19. Sorry folks, it's on hold/sold... Or it would be if Native Instruments support would get their finger out and transfer the bloody license...
  20. Aww... I like the blind donkey fornicating with a paint pot aesthetic!
  21. Love seeing so many DIY pedals on a board. Been promising myself I'll do a lot more DIY (pedals that is!) in the new year...
  22. @dood has had hands on one I believe...
  23. If this is anything like the Tecamp Puma 212 it'll be awesome. Best combo ever IMHO... and I sold it like a moron...
  24. Even sounds like Geddy's voice to one of the great unwashed like me (never really listened to more than a few Rush tunes). Brilliant!
