Pinball

Hi, I have a GB NX2 212T and the tweeter doesn't seem to function. The story goes that when I got it a few months back I put my electro acoustic guitar through it, rather than dig our another amp/cab and damaged it somehow. I usually have the tweeters turned down to zero but turned them up to about half and played for a few minutes. Then all of a sudden I got some high pitched feedback. Since then no noticeable tweeter adjustment !!! Like I said I don't use the tweeters normally anyway but I keep thinking that I really should get it functioning as the makers intended. Any advice on what procedure to follow?

It looks a beaut. Keep looking or drop the guy an email telling him how pleased you were to see it. You never know The style looks very much like some of the Burns basses.

They do sound quite nice though, not at all thuddy. Quite cheap too, £26 for a 6 string set.

[/quote] [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1393877942' post='2385448'] I like the Status Hotwires. The Rotosounds I tried were OK but I prefer the Status, they feel and sound better to my ear. [/quote] Hmm thats an interesting one. I really like Status half rounds straight out of the box but wasn't as impressed with the flats. Since then I have found Status round wounds take a long time to play in but once there they are great. Maybe I didn't give their flats enough time to settle down. I'll have to dig them out and try them again.

Just bought a strap, a very easy and pleasant deal. Thanks!

In two, play bass in one guitar in the other. First in the diary gets the spot. I'm glad I'm in two as arranging practises with one is difficult and if that was my only focus I would have quit by now.

If tu are not, then you may want to look at getting a effects loop box. Try an keep a high quality buffered pedal in the middle of you chain, not sure what the ebs pedals are like in this respect but do some research on a suitable pedal, I use a MI Audio boost n buff. Then look at your patch leads, I have just rebuilt Mine using lava solderless, and in hindsight this was probably a major contributing factor to the tone suck on my board. Hope this helps!! [/quote] Thanks, the EBS pedals are "true bypass". I already have a loop and tuner out box so will maybe use that to loop out the Wah and tuner. I'm noticing a difference with the blowtorch removed so guess the fault was having a n effect because (it used to be fine). If I get a true bypass distortion or fuzz I should be back on track.

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1393332056' post='2378766'] What is your current board running? I have (hopefully) just sorted mine out as it was horrendous!

Hmm everything that you said backs up my initial impressions that the Revelation was a good bass for the price. It felt substantial and well put together. The one I was looking at even had nice neck grain. I get the impression that your pretty new to bass playing (if not apologies ). I'm pretty new myself and have only been playing a couple of years. My experience was that my preferred neck profile and how I stood and played changed over time. Initially I hated fatter profile and wider necks but now quite like them as they allow me fro dig in and play cleanly. Having said that I am now back with slim necks and tighter string spacing strings. Neck dive is more an issue when standing up and recently I changed my whole playing position. I used to wear the bass quite high and hold it horizontally. Now use a longer strap so that the body is lower and hold the neck higher. What I'm saying is that your anything like me you will probably change your preferences a number of times before settling.

Well I checked my set up. The way I have it is a direct line from my Belcat power station, to a Diago 9v to 18v converter and then into the Blowtorch so that should have been fine. I tried if with Batteries and the same story, the light just stays on all the time. My technical assessment is that its stuffed and just to finish it off one of the battery compartment catches broke while putting the batteries in Scrap? Now moving on to investigate the tone sucking problem without the MXR in the chain
