Hadn't seen this thread before, but what a nice read! Congrats with Clarence and the Ashdown. Keep venturing! best, bert

[quote name='umph' timestamp='1356794561' post='1913694'] Not for this application since it's not hifi [/quote] Ah! Great. Thanks a lot, man! best, bert

If it's not too presumptuous: Welcome, Juliet! You must have been lurking here. Your choice of words is as appreciated as it is inspiring, so to speak. Incoming! Duck and Cover! For a relative noob, you've come long seeing as you're playing gigs. Kudos. You'll find there's lots of convertites on here - many from guitar, but also quite some who started out with an [i]instrument[/i] instead of the bass. Do you still play a wind instrument? I played the flute for years, but am really an organist and now bass noob. Stay outside your comfort zone. Develop. Enjoy. best, bert

[quote name='umph' timestamp='1356784051' post='1913528'] The high and low will both be about 1meg [/quote] OK. Thanks for that. That's not a problem though, is it? best, bert

Awel zunne! Welcome to BC. Your English seems [b]perfect[/b] to me. Congrats! That said, I'm Dutch, so ... You'll be anxious to know what the entrance fee is. Well, as it happens, you have to send everyone some anijsneuzekes. Echt waar! Toevallig, hè? Anyway, enjoy the site! You may find it's a very nice forum as well. best, bert (nee, kennieslapevannacht)

Hey Phil, Welcome to BC, and good luck with your missionquest. BC will prove itself to you without any doubt. There's a virtually endless list of themes already discussed - a veritable searchable database - and people are more than willing to chime in and help should you have questions. Great gear start you had. Next thing is to develop some serious Gear Acquisition Syndrome, and before you know it you're poor and wondering why. Enjoy! best, bert

[quote name='garythebass' timestamp='1356736953' post='1913178'] Keep your nails to the right length and with a change of attack angle you can go from a finger sound to a pick sound (but with balls!). [/quote] ... and here was I thinking it was wrong of me to do that. Not that I really manage it or anything, but I like the sound. best, bert

[quote name='umph' timestamp='1356740413' post='1913242'] input impedance on amps is up in the 1meg range. Assume you're using the effects return? [/quote] The Low In would indeed, but as I've been led to understand, the High In is very much in another range. Don't know this for a fact though, but can always ask Ashdown. Don't see the need for that though. BTW, it's .45v input, not as I wrote a .5 one - not that that matters iirc. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1356740065' post='1913233'] You could take a stereo to 2 mono jacks & just plug one channel into the amp. [/quote] D'oh! Never even crossed my mind. Thanks.

Yup! That's why us audiofiles lately have gone from [b]two[/b] to [b]sevenpointone[/b] speakers.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1356734423' post='1913147'] To go from iPad Stereo to LB Mono then you need to mix the left and right signals down to mono using 22K resistors. [/quote] Thanks for responding. I was hoping to avoid that, thinking the signal would basically be twice the same. See, what I forgot to tell may be essential: that I'm only thinking of plugging my bass into the iPad and process it in AmpKit before sending the signal to the LB. I was presupposing that any stereoness from processing is not sought after and can easily be avoided, by for instance not using a stereo flanger in AmpKit - that kinda thing. best, bert

Folks, I seem to remember from days yonder that especially tube amps could be shorted when one did something wrong as to plugging stereo jack plugs into them. If so, is this still the case? Then, when connecting an iPad to my Little Bastard, how should I do that? - Mono to mono? Or would that short the right channel in the iPad? - Make a lead myself: stereo (without right channel) to mono? - Er ... you get the drift. Voltage-wise and impedance-wise I thought I was in the clear: iPad out: 1 V, 4.4 Ohm LB high in: 0.5 Volt, 600 Ohm - probably. Thanks for any help. best, bert

Hey Jerry, Welcome to BC. Never heard about the OB-50 but will look it up. Come to think of it, never heard about Fender either. Anyway, enjoy your stay! best, bert Bass skill = 0/10 Tractor skill = 1/10 (excluding 5- and 6-string tractors)

[quote name='fxpedal.co.uk' timestamp='1355858642' post='1903813'] Just to confirm, we now have the Deluxe Bass Big Muff in stock. [/quote] That's nice, but why do ya keep yer phone in this off-the-hook state? Only kidding! best, bert

... bu' remembah: tha' fountain sucks tha wate' IN. It's like Yin-g**t*r-antimatter versus Yang-bass-matter ... or something.

Hehe, I wrote "Mark" originally, but was afraid I might be right, so looked up a list with less common names starting with "m" - mbellishing my post as it were. virtual c_ya, bert

Hey Mr. Bellishment, or may we just call you Montgomery? Welcome to the part of BC where one can breathe! best, bert

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1356628372' post='1911810'] it might have been me that recommended bobs_decals on ebay [/quote] Yup! Liked your decal:

Someone on here recommended eBay user bobs_decals. His stuff looks great to me, and prices low, so I'm gonna order from him. best, bert

[b] Brand new, Check this out !!!!!![/b] ???????????? Are you joking or nuts? Definitely not checking this out without any more info. best, bert

Leen, this is how you get your post count up!

Victor Wooten Groove Workshop DVDs, dual footswitch for HB amp. Well chuffed, especially since this is from my ex, she having been quite negative to my music gear previously. best, bert

Could of course have given you the right answer, but don't want to be a thread stopper, so I'll just say: Thanks for introducing me to this band! best, bert

[quote name='mingsta' timestamp='1356090125' post='1906639'] Looks perfect for those polite coffee house acoustic gigs [/quote] That argument won me over. I'm going for this set! best, bert
