[quote name='30507090' timestamp='1442358516' post='2866404'] I love the fact this looks so small. But does Line 6 wireless blow it out the water? [/quote] Having used both, I'd say it is the other way round. Besides the size, the range of the smoothhound is better, the battery life is several times longer and the construction is better.

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1442328627' post='2866072'] I's love to but I'm damned of I can get that to work on this site anymore [/quote]Stick 'em on photobucket and include the <IMG> tags.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1442263707' post='2865666'] But it is working and changing it would not alter the fact that some people just can't be bothered to reply. [/quote]It's a fair point. I think it's easier to reply to a post than send a pm, but that option isn't available in wanted.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1442223246' post='2865194'] Why has the OP deleted all his posts in this thread? [/quote]As the poet of punk once said, "they can't find a good word for him, but I can!"

This all seems like a good reason to rescind the rule preventing people replying to Wanted threads, it seems like the alternatives are not working. When this rule was introduced a review was promised by the site owners but I don't believe it has happened - happy to be corrected if it has.

When I got my 465 it had similar symptoms to yours. The pickups impedance readings checked out OK so I put in a cheap Artec 3 band preamp which sorted the problem out. That lasted a couple of years until I got a second hand nordstrand from here, which is even better.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1442043432' post='2863954'] A true (or as close as can be) flat response cab will have a dedicated bass driver, mid driver and possibly a tweeter. A 2x10 is never going to offer that. [/quote] Euphonic Audio VL 210 does. But you would never describe it as light weight!

Dave Lunt in Stockport (depends on how you define area ;-) Might be someone in here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198-recommended-amp-techs/ ?

Yes, I was wondering about feedback destroyers too. We run a mono one on the vocal monitor and we don't have too many problems. Our singer uses a wireless mike and if we do have problems, its usually caused by her pointing the mike right at the monitor!

[quote name='Hokeypokey' timestamp='1441635151' post='2860435'] Thanks, just been having a wee look, can find Tanglewood Elf guitars, but there doesn't seem to be a bass out there Wondering if they're rarer than hens teeth?! Would ideally like a bass guitar, but a ukulele is a second option. [/quote]The model number is EB-18.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1441047912' post='2855688'] They are idiots? [/quote] I think that is a bit harsh.

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1440266300' post='2849485'] (Which I suppose proves only that [u]one[/u] Alien has an aluminium neck... - if I find time I'll dig it out and see if the neck is marked in some way, it's possible that the Alien neck has been replaced with a Duke neck ) [/quote] There are at least two - I have one as well , it's an aluminium section with filling.

Curse you Jon, you were supposed to say that it's clearly a fake and not worth £50. Now what am I going to do ?? :-)

This Antoria Gibson copy looks nice. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Antoria-Bass-Guitar-1980s-vintageish-/151774891105?hash=item23567d0c61

I would recommend you leave the pedals in front of the amp and put the thumper at the end of the chain. Effects loops are intended for things like rack effects which operate at line level voltages. Some pedals may be OK, others may not. Also, if you have a parallel effects loop half the signal will bypass the loop, which isn't what you want with a high pass filter. I don't know enough about the amps you are using to know if they are serial or parallel so this may not be a consideration for you.

If we could expand this out of the realm of bass makers, I'd like to suggest Linda Manzer or Andy Manson.

My NYS236 came from AudioSpares, £2.65 including postage. The trick of putting it through the strap loop didn't work for me - the strap needs to touch the top of the buckle or it just releases the strap to it's longest length. Instead, I put the transmitter on one side of the strap, the socket on the other, and put a small cable tie around them both to grip the strap.

Often, knowing who to ask would have got you the answer more quickly than a forum posting. In this case, a PM to Kiogon would have got you the answer.

[quote name='Edenburgh' timestamp='1433541505' post='2792093'] Bass==> Board #1 (Tuner, Comp, Muff, EQ/DI) ==> Amp ==> FX Loop Send ==> Board #2 (POG, Chorus, Env Filter) ==>FX Return Have we cracked it? [/quote] I think you'd be better off with a true bypass loop on your first board after the compressor and plugging the second board into that. Besides Sibob's comment about effects loops expecting a line level signal (such as a rack-mounted compressor or effects unit), many effects loops are parallel, in which case you will get a blend of the signal from the pre-amp and the effects loop. And, your second board is going to be downstream of the DI so you won't be sending the same signal to the PA.

[quote name='gingerfish' timestamp='1438898561' post='2838613'] Play 5 string with low Bb in a metal band so need some decent volume to get over the loud as hell drummer. [/quote] Buy a cheaper cab and get some good quality earplugs or in-ears.

I'd expect the tuner out to be a line-level signal upstream of the eq, and upstream of the mute button if there is one. The other drawback is it won't mute the speaker.

There is quite a lot out there for guitars, but this is evidently the sort of vanity project that doesn't appeal to bass players☺ www.paintedbypamelina.com has some great examples, or do a search for airbrush guitar art on Google images. I was thinking that biffy clyro had a guitar and bass with the same illustration but I couldn't find any pictures.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1438717610' post='2836693'] looks good! but it doesn't seem to have a channel selector... what do you do if you have two (or 4) people in the band using these? [/quote] Adaptive channel selection allows you to use up to 4 of these at a time without having to configure or select anything.

You could fit an internal gk3b instead.
