Once you sell stuff it just becomes easier. Yes, you might want an old bass back, but once you sell and sell and sell, you realise it doesnt really matter. Theres so much bass supply out there and so many easy accessible ways to buy it, you'll soon get over any sellers remorse.

Definitely loud enough with the 212 cab so it may be used with just one cab
Yeh, I'm just confused if its loud enough with 1 cab, why youd need three or have to sell your amp?

An ABM600 and 2x12 cab cant possibly be too quiet can it?

That's great thank you.
It's an android tablet.

ui12 does have a wired network socket so it should be possible ...
You need a wired network adapter for your tablet (iPad?) and a wee network switch
If the tablet is Thunderbolt then something like this (tablet specs vary, so check)...
and a switch
plug up with two network cables and put both devices on the same subnet 192.168.xxx.yyy with subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (see page "10.1.3: LAN" in manual)
... As ui12 network port auto negotiates, you may not need a switch (IF tablet adapter plays nice), just one cable...
That's great thank you.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to physically connect our tablet to the soundcraft ui12 mixer?
Usually we just use over wifi, but last night nobody could log on with tablets, phones or anything. So much so that we had no control over the mix, although luckily it loaded up a previous one which was passable.
So, is there anyway to cable up a phone or tablet to the mixer for rock solid connection in an emergency?

Sorry, posted in wrong section.

Anyone know what's happened to Quilter bass amps?
I loved my bb800. Then they brought out the 802, now seemingly nothing?

That's adorable.
It was a polite way of saying be humble, just like the real top guys on here are to everyone else.

3 big shows this week. Loving the QC and my IEMS. Both total game changers.
Keep humping those rigs guys. It's all downhill from there.
You do know theres all kinds of bassists on here? From beginners, pub players, club players, pit players, pros, people who do it for fun, touring bands, famous bands, famous bassists and a lot of genuine legends. No ones opinion is worth more than anyone else's. That's what makes this site great - it's a discussion forum, not a platform for im right and youre wrong statements.

I mailed a week ago and I've heard nothing back, which is disappointing as I had a look around that site and saw some interesting stuff.
Mark
I emailed them through their site about a month ago and heard nothing back. I think you have to physically ring them for a response.

I think they're a good basic product. I think they're suffering a bit as lots of people are using the term 'upgrading with.....' and with 'superb Wilkinson etc etc'.
They're good. They do a job. But they're not a significant upgrade compared to other brands renowned for being an upgrade.

Everything a new Trace Elliot should be.
Yep!
Interestingly as well, someone pointed out the similarities between stus amp and his old hartke ha amps. Makes perfect sense.

I always wanted this amp.
Everything a class d amp should be. Banded eq, valve and s/s mix and loud and light.

For me, frfr is only used as a fresh canvas to colour.
I've gone iems in one band and whilst the other bands are still in rehersal I'm going to talk them into it, but I'm currently at rehersal going straight into the pa.
If it helps the very best addition to the sound through the pa is a fantastic 8x10 sim I found. That added (to of all things) a behringer bdi21 gives a fantastic sound.
The pa we use isnt cheap - yamaha dxr15, but it's good. Around £500 per speaker.
So, if I had to get an amp for any of these bands I'd just get one of them and plug my pedal board into it.
Or, to be fair I'd probably end up putting everyone through it and have it as a personal monitor for myself.
QSC, RCF all great, but with yamaha you want dxr or dsr. Dont get lesser ones as they are a different quality.
I forgot to add..... most of these higher end speakers also have a kind of mini mixer on the back now, so you can always add in other instruments in there for yourself if needed.

You can make any bass for any genre. All you need is a bit of time to eq and learn how to eq properly. And how to get the guitarists to stay in lane and stop coming into bass territory. If they come down there that's why bassists struggle to be heard or think they have a bad tone.
I've played all range of cheap and not so cheap p basses, j basses, stingrays, spectors, pj basses, all sorts in all sorts of music and bands .... and you can get any bass to fit and style. Especially rock. If you're struggling and some gain and drive / break up and it should come singing through.

Hi all, with so much going on with modelling now and impulse responses being downloadable and upload able to pedals etc, I was just wondering - can you make your own? Do you need software etc? If you had an IR and saw its freq graph could you copy it to a back up source etc?

Yes it was but I found I couldn't really hear the backline which is what made me feel very disconnected to the band, especially the drums. I very much play with dynamics and energy, reading and feeling what the music is doing and either driving or holding back but using IEM lacked the feeling of any energy of a live performance and somewhat flat.
That's exactly how I was when I did it with backline. I found myself just stood there concentrating listening rather than playing /performing.

I tried IEM a few times and I absolutely hated it. I felt completely disengaged and unconnected with the rest of the band and for me having something stuck in my ear muted the actual stage sound and interaction with the band, especially the drummer. The whole experience felt very clinical and lost the energy and feel of playing live. The rest of the band did use IEM but I found after a few songs, they all pulled one of the earplugs out so to have have one in ears and the other half the live stage sound. The singer especially did this as she found it easier to pitch.
Was that with still having backline as well?
That was my very first experience with them with using too when using backline as well.
Now we have no backline, it's a totally different feel.

Regarding back up etc, think of it another way, especially for small/medium gigs.
You are actually closer to the pa than the rest of the audience. There is now no other noise on stage (apart from drums) so in theory, if your audience is getting a good all round sound, then you should be. Theres nothing on stage where you are clouding the clarity of the overall audience sound.
Worst case scenario slightly tilt the pa inwards so you can hear the front of it better, but you wont really need to.
