Moula Banda Rhythm Aces Although, the U2 gig would be a nice one to have.

Bass Collection are very light. My SB310 weighs about 7lb.

[quote name='Mark_Bass' timestamp='1364650761' post='2029222'] [left][size=4][font=verdana, geneva, sans-serif][color=#000000]The site says that it can be used anywhere between bass and amp or pre-amp and amp (would that mean the fx loop?) [/color][/font][/size][/left] [/quote] No, it wouldn't mean the fx loop, unless your fx loop is wired in series. Most are wired in parallel (allowing a mix of the unaffected signal and the clean signal to go through to the power amp section). There would be no point in doing this with a low-pass filter such as the Thumpinator: you want to filter out all the harmful low frequencies, not half of them . It refers to the situation where you have a separate pre-amp and power amp: you could put the thumpinator in between them. Not sure why you've tagged this with 'compressor'. Thumpinator is a low-pass filter, not a compressor.

I seem to recall that Paul Rose made a fan-fret short scale bass, not sure what the length of the 'B' ended up as though.

It aint worth it. Buy another 8 Ohm 2x10 instead and run 4 cabs, that will give you more cone volume and hence more noise.

As someone else said, you can't really lose. Happy Jack let me have a go on his Mike Lull. Fantastic, utterly brilliant bass. With the Dingwall, you've got to try one. I was all fired up to buy one, but played one in the Bass Gallery and it became clear that it was not for me - the B is indeed fantastic, better than any I've ever heard by a long margin, but if you have small hands and tend to spend a lot of time down round the nut end, it's a struggle. At least it was for me. By the way, many thanks to Alex at the Bass Gallery for letting me try a Combustion, providing just the right amount of space and advice, and generally being a perfect host. Cue a stream of incoming from the Dingwall enthusiasts no doubt, but it doesn't work for everyone.

[quote name='Hamster' timestamp='1364132857' post='2022208'] Odd. When I searched from my desktop I only found a couple of hits, but searching via my iPhone I found several of the ones you allude to? [/quote] I gave up using the search engine on this site ages ago, in favour of using "site:basschat.co.uk" in a google search.

I used to have an EBS which tracked brilliantly and sounded good. The Digitech Bass Synth Wah is also a pretty good octave pedal, much better at that than being a synth pedal.

I played one of these in Wunjo's on Friday, they have two Candy Apple Red ones in stock, or at least they did on Friday, they have been flying out of the shop apparently. They sound fantastic and are very comfortable to play. If you're used to guitar you'll find it very natural. The neck pickup gives a very nice warm bass sound, the P90 on the bridge adds a lot of treble edginess, and the interim positions are interesting too. I was really taken with it , but am wondering what I'd do with one if I bought it. No issues with build quality:

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1364136960' post='2022291'] Has the site not given you anything during those years? Were your 1355 posts there just for helping BC to attain a higher level of readworthiness? [/quote] In fairness to Monckyman, he has posted a lot of really valuable information about PAs and sound mixing into this forum, and I for one have found it most helpful and edifying. Hopefully the 'rethink' will include sticking around and contributing once more.

There are loads of threads on this already. I have an Equinox set which is fine.

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1363524067' post='2013577'] See speaker example above. Two 8-ohm cabs in parallel don't make a 2... [/quote] 2x 8 Ohm cabs make 16 Ohm in series and 4 ohms in parallel 2x 11K coils make 22K in series and 5.5 K in parallel

51m0n's blog post is here: [url="http://blog.basschat.co.uk/setting-up-a-compressor/#more-806"]http://blog.basschat...essor/#more-806[/url] There are plenty of cheap rack-based compressors kicking about, which usually have much better monitoring than foot pedals.

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1363215392' post='2010086'] Incidentally, if you let the page fully load after viewing an item, it scrolls itself past the T&Cs area on it's own, or at least it does on my browser. [/quote] I'm using Firefox 19.0.2 on Windows 7 , and this doesn't happen for me. If you HAVE to do this, it would be trivial to set a cookie so that the page is only displayed once. I don't believe that it's necessary to inconvenience the majority of users in this way to protect a tiny minority who are too lazy to read the Ts and Cs .I've been on t'interweb for a little while now, and this is the first time I've seen a website inflict this kind of treatment on its users. I still don't understand either why it's necessary to single out the Effects pedal forum for this treatment. If you're going to do this, at least be consistent and apply it to all the For Sale forums.

Why just the effects forum? As an experiment, it's failed. File under 'stupid idea'. Please remove it immediately.

Can you revert to Snow Leopard or whatever you were running before the upgrade?

Yamaha Bex4 or Ibanez Artcore are a couple of others that might be worth checking out.

[quote name='wayne58' timestamp='1362683341' post='2003383'] My hopes are that it will be a great gig and that Wilko can stay well and pain free for as long as possible. [/quote] Big +1 to this.

Bummer. RIP Alvin.
