[quote name='largo' timestamp='1476201234' post='3152254'] I tried to convince the guys in the band to try the BF PA system when we were looking at a new PA. Unfortunately, being relatively unknown outside the bass-playing community & the "homemade" look meant the rest of the band wouldn't entertain spending £4K on the BF system, trial or no trial. We ended up going for the QSC KW112 tops & subs in the end. [/quote] i can see this happening a lot, when we buy a new pa im looking for reasons to put my foot down, thats why im after more info/testamonials before i pitch it to the band although tbh they will probably go with whatever i say anyway. i will feel better about it with a bit more info though.

im also tempted by a fr800 pa, anyone out there using them? more info/comparisions would be great

i cant wait for some reviews, im very very tempted...............hmmmmm........the wife wouldn't approve.

i think a quick look at the D'Addario website is in order

i was thinking of trying 45-105's but was a bit concerned about them being too light with dropping 3 semitones, thanks for the input folks i do prefer light gauge strings so i might try them and if im not happy going up to some kind of 50 - 110/115 set, a 120 i think might be too much for me.

Does anyone use c# tuning on a 34" scale 4 string bass? I usually prefer 40-100 Sadowsky blue label steels and love the feel on my standard tuned 33" scale Xylem ( not too much tension and bright and zingy) but I'm setting up a bass in standard c# tuning and wondered if anyone can help many thanks.

yeah its a bit pricey, i would be more tempted if it wasn't white too, i think it looks great but might end up looking very grubby in my hands. i definitely want to try one out at some point though.

thanks, i did do a search before posting but missed it :^)

just spotted this at bass direct, nothing on the darkglass website though im thinking this could very well be my next amp purchase, thoughts? [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Darkglass_Microtubes_900_head.html"]http://www.bassdirec...s_900_head.html[/url] found a pic, i like thew look of the cabs [attachment=226443:darkglass.jpg]

i have a rh750 and a super 12t and play in a very loud metal band, with a very prominent bass tone. ive never had it even halfway on the master volume and im often too loud haha. i also tried the eden a while ago and it definitely seemed to have less perceived volume than thew tc for me. (although i didn't a-b them directly) if i was in your position though the peavey would be top of my list to try, it does indeed look very interesting.

[quote name='1970' timestamp='1457019559' post='2994522'] Maybe just me, but my mark iv IS a lightweight format! it's a dead easy 1-handed lift (though a bit lopsided... Maybe it's because I'm a reformed GT200 and V4 owner... but the mk iv is just not that heavy. [/quote] i remember it being big and heavy (and very lopsided for that matter)but that was a long time ago, it was certainly a lot heavier then my tc rh750 i might see if i can pick up a used one and rehouse it for better balance and less weight, might be a fun little project

[quote name='Tee' timestamp='1456433977' post='2989093'] How about a mini version of the Mark IV series [/quote] this!!! great amps i had a mark iv and a vi back in the day, both awesome amps, if they can nail that in a lightweight format ill be all over it.

i would love to try one of these out

tis rather amusing :^)

just spotted this, i think the price is a touch on the high side, haha. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TENNESSEE-15-STRING-EXTENDED-RANGE-BASS-/291674941903

just sold a GK amp switcher and the transaction was without issues, great communications and promt payment, a pleasure to deal with cheers!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1424386712' post='2695917'] The fellow's not wrong; this is a fine, superbly produced and executed album, a steal at the download or digipak price asked. No 'throwaway' tracks, a coherent, dense but aerien sound, recognisable lyrics that are not complete 'tosh' (technical term... ) for a change; what's not to like..? No point in offering comparisons (sounds like xxx or yyy...), these folks stand on their own terms. Worth a listen, surely..? Thanks for the heads-up, Anthony, and 'Well done, Winterfire'... [/quote] thanks for your input and thanks for listening, i have only just seen your post but its great to see that you liked our stuff (and the production too, always a concern for a self produced effort) :^)

just thought i would post this if anyone might be interested, an upbeat number with a good simple driving bassline taken from my bands debut album. recorded and mixed by yours truly, any feedback on the song or recording would be appreciated:^) thanks for looking enjoy :^) [url="https://soundcloud.com/winterfire/as-embers-fade"]https://soundcloud.c.../as-embers-fade[/url]

i assume you already know about this, a little pricy but it is properly full range, lightweight and built for proper bottom end unlike most active pa cabs http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/FR800.htm
