Did anyone spot the 500mm depth in its sister model? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_d3400.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_d3400.htm[/url] That's not gonna fit into your typical SKB Roto case.

If it was 600w into 4ohms (like the Shuttle) and able to go into 2ohms then I'd probably go for one at 700 quid...assuming I couldn't import one for less, that is...

I believe he still owes for advertising on Bassworld.

If its not immediately obvious, the soundtrack has been dubbed onto camera footage.

[quote name='~tl' post='469130' date='Apr 21 2009, 10:58 PM']A few points, having read through this thread... ... Hope this was helpful, I'll add more if I can think of anything.[/quote] Very helpful tl, thanks for that. I'll raise the points with the others and see what happens.

ouch, ok thats a bit much at this point in time. I mean, the features are cool and everything but they're not enough to persuade me to give up the Shuttle. Tuner = 10 quid (new) Dual band compressor = 80 quid (used) Shuttle = 600 quid (or less if second hand) The Rebelhead eq. trumps the Shuttle's for sure but the planet doesn't stop spinning for me if I don't have it. :/

I like the customisability of the eq and the triple band compressor...that's sold me on the unit alone. You could put any bass through that system and have it sounding sweet. Do we have any UK prices for them?

I love you guys. [attachment=24190:AwesomeThread.jpg]

[quote name='AM1' post='468467' date='Apr 21 2009, 01:43 PM']So, let me get this right. I have stated that I find Ampeg tone distinctive and I love the sound. I was then told that it could not be possible to recognise a certain tone, despite my providing specific examples of times when I have done so. When it was impossible to rebut those examples, I was then challenged over my experience. And you say [b]I [/b] should not alienate [b]myself?[/quote] Are you suggesting that your opinions are more credible than the opinions of anyone else on the forum? [quote name='AM1' post='468467' date='Apr 21 2009, 01:43 PM']Yes, absolutely. That is what happens when you challenge those who place commercial sponsor agendas over safety and human lives.[/quote] I'm sure you felt what you did was right.

[quote name='AM1' post='468431' date='Apr 21 2009, 01:11 PM']Sound is subjective.[/quote] The issue isn't about subjectivity. It's about not alienating yourself. However I'm sure you will make your bed up as you wish to lie in it. Is it true that you've already been banned from another internet forum?

[quote name='AM1' post='468314' date='Apr 21 2009, 12:11 PM']Absolutely and that's my choice. I do not have to list my music credentials to have, or express an opinion. Equally, I do not judge the validity or credibility of other commentators posts based on what I perceive to be their musical "visibility".[/quote] But AM if you expect your comments to be given credibility by others on this forum then you *should* be clear about what your musical experience is - as any expert witness under cross examination might in a court room. You of all people should understand how credibility is established!

I sold my GK RB700 combo to get a Shuttle 6 which I still own. My thoughts: Buy the Shuttle because weight, neutral colouring and portability are your main priorities. You won't have the same tone shaping abilities and you won't have the ear splitting sizzle from the GK but you can't expect to get everything in a chassis that size. Buy the GK if you own a dark or scooped sounding bass, or need a lot of aggressive treble and low end in your sound, or need extensive tone shaping (for example if you play with a pick and need to hear attack). Apart from that I don't think there's a lot between them. Both have mid controls you can tweak to help with monitoring on stage so in terms of dialing in the mids that carry pitch information, either would be OK assuming the same speaker set up was used in each.

I went into Packhorse cases in Peterborough yesterday for a relining for one of my cases and was impressed by the folk there. They're handling a lot of major tours including Michael Jackson, Donna Summer and Lionel Richie. They produce good quality cases but are very reasonable and realistic if you have budget constraints.

Or Barry White singing Tiptoe Through The Tulips? :blink:

I wanna do Bach's Prelude for Cello like John Patitucci. I started to learn it but the stretches are so huge on a 6 string bass that I'm probably never going to play it with the smoothness of a cellist...or Patitucci for that matter.

In my experience the answer depends a lot on how big the venue is and what level of FOH you will be working with. If the venue is small, the FOH mostly for vox and your bass rig is supplying most of the FOH sound of your instrument then post eq should be fine. The worst situation I've found myself in soundwise is a small stage with a huge PA and massive bass bins with a sound man who has a club mix approach to eq-ing the FOH (ie. loads of sub bass). Its next to impossible to hear yourself on stage not simply because of competition but because the sound that comes out the back of the subs can even be out of phase with what is coming out of your rig (think noise cancelling effect). I had this happen to me at the Boston Dome (with a twat of a soundman). There was a 4x15 sub bass set up on either side of the stage and I had the bass maxed to the absolute limit on my rig yet still couldn't hear myself. When I tried the rig at sound check and after the PA was turned down post gig, the monitoring I had was thunderous but with the PA on performance volumes...nothing! Otherwise I'd send pre-eq because for anything other than the smallest venues, you'll just be forcing the sound man to compensate for your onstage eq set up through the FOH mixing desk.

Certainly did mate. It would be nice to be able to customise the forum software like that but if we did, it would be difficult to update in the event of spammers. So we can either employ someone to code up custom software meaning all the suggestions could be taken on board but we'd have to charge people for it. Or we can continue to use the off-the-shelf package with reduced convenience.
