  1. The cabs can take it - I've played a pair them at pretty high volume with the Orange Terror Bass. It's something to do with the drivers in these cabs having a slightly lower than specced impedance which drives power module in Micro VR nuts!
  2. It's worth pointing out that the Micro VR suffers from a design fault that means they break up and crackle harshly when used with 2 SVT210AV cabs. They are fine with most other 4 ohm loads, and most other amps are fine driving a pair of those cabs, but stupidly, they don't work well together. There's a couple of threads on Talkbass about it if you want further details. I thought they might have fixed the issue by now, so I bought a Micro VR head to go with my pair of SVT210AV cabs after my Orange Terror Bass died a couple of weeks ago. The issue was immediately apparent even at low-medium volume, so it went straight back to the shop. The Orange Terror Bass is a perfect match for these cabs by the way, I'd recommend one of those, or pretty much any other micro amp over the Micro VR head (Ampeg PF350/PF500 if you want to keep it all the same brand) if you are set on using a pair of those cabs! Oh, and nice username!
  3. I had an AD200B and it was barely ticking over on the gigs I played with it - 100W tube amp should be perfect for small to medium venues.
  4. Surprised this one hasn't been posted, it's the first and only one I thought of: Alan Braxe - Running [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQFhSHZ3CsQ[/media]
  5. Warwick do a set down to .175 aptly named 'Dark Lord'. They're not cheap though!
  6. [quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1386671100' post='2302771'] I have two Spider cases if you want to have a gander at them at some point... [/quote] I had a medium sized Spider case and it fit my VT1 no problem.
  7. Depends on what you mean by bi-amping - are you using a crossover to send only the deep lows to the Compact?
  8. Try rotating it, worked for me!
  9. If you're after a T-Bird, I'd check out the Epi Classic Pro IV - neck through and Gibson pickups, almost as good as the Gibson but far cheaper!
  10. Another demo: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqencShg84Y[/media]
  11. That's just an amp turned up to breaking point! An overdrive pedal will get you there though. NIB has a wah - if you want the same pedal check out the Chicago Iron Parapedal or Wilson Freaker wah.
  12. Ah yes the Monte Allum ODB-3 mod! Had mine sat in a drawer for over a year, must do it soon!
  13. Never knew about that blue circle to go to the last page! Now, just tell us where people's location is in the mobile version so I don't have to switch to the full version when browsing the classifieds, and I'm a happy bunny!
  14. They've sorted a dep out for the upcoming gig who's already played with them before so no immediate rush any more, but they are still on the lookout!
  15. I guess when most kids pick up an instrument to learn they choose guitar because it's cooler (and cheaper to get started). Maybe they should come out with a 'Trumpet Hero' computer game to make it more popular.
  16. Heard a rumour they'd fixed the overly hot DI issue, perhaps they achieved it by using lower gain valves. If you bought it second hand, a previous owner could have swapped tubes too - pull em out and have a look to see if they are 12AX7s!
  17. I agree with BigRedX. There's sod all left handed instruments out there, so may as well try to play righty first! I'm left handed for writing, but right handed for lots of other things. You need two hands to play bass, so the whole left/right handed thing doesn't make much sense anyway. You need more dexterity in your fretting hand anyway, so I don't know why more right handed people don't play lefty basses!
  18. My old band Crybaby Deathmatch are looking for a new bass player! Check out some tunes here: [url="http://crybabydeathmatch.bandcamp.com"]http://crybabydeathmatch.bandcamp.com[/url] If interested, get in touch via [url="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Crybaby-Deathmatch/110304442362163"]Facebook [/url]or [url="https://twitter.com/CryBBDethTweetz"]Twitter[/url] - or if you really want to contact them but use neither of those let me know and I can put you in touch!
  19. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1384110716' post='2272893'] It's been out for a couple of years. Not a new product at all. At the time the other app stores were nothing compared to Apple. [/quote] Android has had a good app store for well over two years now, but I was thinking more along the lines of a standard Mac/Windows app, as with the TC Electronic Toneprint, and, er pretty much every single other piece of music hardware with a USB connection.
  20. The speaker sim button turns off the speaker sim which is basically just a high-end roll off. To be used when you're using it with a real cab and want to hear it's natural high end roll off instead of the one in the pedal. The bite button adds a boost to the high mids and also a sub sonic filter to remove ultra low frequencies the speaker can't produce. The regular VT Bass (v2) has these speaker sim and bite buttons combined into one button, whereas the DI version just splits them into two.
  21. [quote name='danbowskill' timestamp='1383903322' post='2270506'] sucks that it's only for Apple :-( [/quote] Massive fail. Why limit their audience by doing this?
  22. Half of those clips sound like a Jazz to me, there's some great sounding clips in there I reckon: http://soundcloud.com/ebs-soundsamples
  23. I bought this on a whim to replace my old VT Bass but soon came to the realisation that I want to run other pedals after it, so I won't even use the DI output! It's only been tested for about half an hour at home then put back in it's tin. £200 delivered to your door! Sold!
  24. I've had a B2 and B3, and both buzzed when being used in a daisy chain shared with other pedals, but fine when on their own isolated power supply. If yours is noisy with the bundled power supply and it's not daisy chained to other pedals then perhaps something is up, do you have another 9v supply you can try?
