[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='388514' date='Jan 22 2009, 02:01 PM']It’s a form of EQ – shelving all frequencies above or below a specified frequency by a specified amount. Hope that helps :wacko:[/quote] No, but thanks. What happens to the shelved freqs? Boost or cut? Or do they go to the pub and get Mullered?

Right my knowledgable brethren, how does a shelving tone control work? Cheers, John. EDIT: Ah, I see. [url="http://www.rane.com/pdf/acceler.pdf"]http://www.rane.com/pdf/acceler.pdf[/url] Sod Google & ask Jeeves.

Doesn't look like it, weird that they've missed that out [/quote] It's Merton with moveable Eagle eyes! I was mid valve change! [quote name='Merton' post='387381' date='Jan 21 2009, 12:18 PM']Like the double power amps, have you tried it bridged yet? Bet it's a fookin beast![/quote] Me too, yes and oh yes - used it bridged into a Carlsboro 15'er & Nik's 15'er but using the poweramps individually and panning was better with 2 unmatched cabs. Can't wait to try it with a Big One and [s]give it some proper f***ing welly[/s] undertake a thoroughly scientific & objective aural assessment of both the amplifier unit and the bespoke loudspeaker cabinets [s]abilty to causing hearing damage[/s] merits.

The value of the prize would be hard to justify these days - 10 days in L.A., all expenses paid, car hire, top class hotel in Newport Beach and approx. 3 of the days in the company of the great man. Other installments may follow......[/quote] You the man, Sir.

[quote name='Rayman' post='387371' date='Jan 21 2009, 12:09 PM']Me too. I mentioned the Clash the other day to my mates 18 year old daughter while she raved about various new bands, "never heard of them" was her reply. I felt faint.[/quote] The youth of today today, eh? Emo this, nu that, I don't know - I like both kinds of music - metal [b]and[/b] punk.

I used to have a Combo 300 too, but couldn't lift it.

[quote name='simon1964' post='386980' date='Jan 20 2009, 11:20 PM']Have to say the Shuker Signature will be better than any Precision Fender are likely to make![/quote] And probably cheaper. [quote name='acidbass' post='387023' date='Jan 20 2009, 11:44 PM']I think he was spotted using a fretless Jazz recently, maybe even the Jaco signature?[/quote] Given to him by Fender.

[quote name='4000' post='383152' date='Jan 17 2009, 12:35 PM']Hawkwind on the Space Ritual tour[/quote] I'd happily play for them now. Failing that I'd quite like to replace Jimmy Bain / Bob Daisley in Rainbow '75-'78. Or at least be good enough to. Or Larry Boothroyd in Victims Family. Or Rob Wright in Nomeansno.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='386231' date='Jan 20 2009, 03:27 PM']But my question is; how much of the GAS we experience is motivated by frustration at the shortcomings of our gear and how much from the frustrations that arise from our unhappiness with our playing and teh sound we can get with [b]our own ability to use the eqs on the amps we have.[/b][/quote] I am much happier with my sound in a band context with my current set-up & I hope it lasts. Less [knobs] is more due to my apparent inability to use the Ashdown slider / knob system effectively - I always fiddled too much.* *Maybe this is why I now wear glasses.

Just taken delivery of young Ste's Rush R30 DVD and can't wait for the missus to leave the house to crank it up. Top deal, ta.

I've said it before & I'll say it again - Mark IV head + Sunn 2x15 = tone heaven. Or is that volume heaven? Never used any effects then either.

Nine Below Zero rock.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='385746' date='Jan 20 2009, 10:03 AM']Forget the virtually useless meter. Get an EBS compressor as ferret said. You won't look back. [/quote] Nuff said.

My back's just gone by looking at it.

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='384629' date='Jan 19 2009, 02:33 AM']BTW Stevie hasn't always been a Fender P boy, what's the bass he's playing in the [i]Run to the hills[/i], and [i]Trooper [/i]video's?

Stock Sovtek out - Ruby in [ta Mert]. We'll se how it compares at the weekend. The inside story - LH-1000 [top] with man-size transformer vs LH-500 [bottom] with ladies transformer. Thanks GreeneKing

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='382933' date='Jan 17 2009, 12:06 AM']Get an EBS Microbass II![/quote] But the new one or the old one?

[quote name='markytbass' post='379443' date='Jan 13 2009, 06:17 PM']Yea but she plays guit@r in. the breeders[/quote] But bass in the Pixies, daddyo.

This is quite irritating as it the only P I would ever buy and now it's available again. KSD Jazz anyone?

[quote name='Rich' post='382008' date='Jan 16 2009, 08:10 AM']Yes, and I understand they're superb (certainly as far as trem use etc. is concerned). Wonder how they affect sustain & tone?[/quote] They reduce string breakages at the bridge. According to me guit mate, can't comment on the rest...
