[quote name='brummie' post='251801' date='Jul 31 2008, 03:50 AM']...will try and go on line while wife isn't looking...[/quote] I feel your pain! Welcome.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='251236' date='Jul 30 2008, 12:34 PM']You beat me to it - the first law according to Alex Claber: [size=3][b]You can use any power ouput amp with any power handling cab. If any of these combinations makes bad sounds then turn down and/or stop cranking the bass EQ excessively or damage may occur[/b][/size][/quote] I wanted to nip it in the bud before it got out of hand. Yet again.

My missus reckons I dance like Mark Fowler off Eastenders. However that may be.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='251087' date='Jul 30 2008, 10:32 AM']I've had 2 guitar stands and at least 5 decent planet waves leads nicked at gigs. Drummers have the worst of that sh*tty situation though.[/quote] Nicking off each other to weigh it in down Crack Converters for some White Lightning / Special Brew, I'd wager! Can you confirm this chedda?

Never bend down to plug anything in without checking the drummer isn't about to batter some part of his kit just as you lean forward. Eh?

Dave off Chas & Dave uses Joe Meek gear. Irrelevant like, but there you go.

[quote name='lowdown' post='250118' date='Jul 29 2008, 01:21 AM']Or an Audio card with direct monitoring.[/quote] That's the fella. Try all the advice here though, I was bloody depressed when I though it was me.

Welcome Sir

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='250075' date='Jul 28 2008, 11:32 PM']...noones down for bringing a Genz Benz Shuttle 6 yet so I could bring that with the EBS cab.[/quote] Splendid idea.

[quote name='sk8' post='250147' date='Jul 29 2008, 07:54 AM']i thought my MAG 210 combo sounded muddy[/quote] And certainly next to Sir's shiny new toy! How you getting on with it mush?

[quote name='tonyf' post='249937' date='Jul 28 2008, 08:52 PM']...bloody hell, what a sound. Soooooooooo crunchy and punchy, loads of top end articulation and a world away from the "wool" i expected. So valve sounding, really warm and gritty.[/quote] Exactly. Gert chunky bifton, as one might say. Wool? Schmool! Must be them 15's. Or 10's & 15's together So, can I use any power amp with any power cab.....? :brow: /runs for cover/

[quote name='OldGit' post='249349' date='Jul 28 2008, 08:55 AM']+1 no drink or drugs before playing Get wasted after if you want but being out of it or "relaxed" [i]never[/i] improves your show.[/quote] Mr Git speak truth. I act as band killjoy bastard and rigorously enforce the '2-pint' rule - no more then 2-pints each before a gig.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='249678' date='Jul 28 2008, 03:47 PM']And you have the freakiest avatar I have ever seen....[/quote] Indeed, you appear to have a guitarists mouth, sir.

Latency, deffo. I'll speak to the man later and let you know how we got round it.

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='249148' date='Jul 27 2008, 09:35 PM']I'll be taking 2 basses... do you think I'll need to take my own stand?[/quote] Yes. One for each bass. Enjoy it, and remember - you're only doing it for the kids!

[quote name='bnt' post='246205' date='Jul 23 2008, 03:58 PM']Well, the Avalon U5 is a tube DI, and the Palmer PDI-05 is a speaker simulator and DI. The Palmers will work as a dummy speaker load too. I'd question whether those are [i]essential[/i] parts of the signal chain, or whether Geddy continues using them because he's used to them and/or as a backup. (He still carries a couple of Trace Elliot Quadra power amps too.)[/quote] Ah yes. Doesn't he also use a Trace 4x10 as a load somewhere as well? Sorry, off-topic I know!

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='246307' date='Jul 23 2008, 06:20 PM']I don't think he's had to pay for a set of strings since he first left the Isle of Wight [/quote] Of course, the Isle of Wight, that's why he's so good - 6 fingers on each hand.

[quote name='JohnSlade07' post='246302' date='Jul 23 2008, 06:13 PM']Excuse my ignorance but could use my Zoom B1 pedal as a fallback should my amp fail i.e. run a 1/4 inch jack to jack from the Zoom to the PA and plug my bass into the unit. Obviously wouldn't be the greatest sound but better than no sound atall.[/quote] Should be ok as long as the PA takes a line level input, but you'd want some advice that isn't mine before doing it.

[quote name='bnt' post='246146' date='Jul 23 2008, 02:40 PM']Well, I know that a [url="http://www.tech21nyc.com/sansamp_intro.html"]SansAmp[/url] Bass Driver pedal can technically do what you're after, the question is whether you like that sound. You'll hear comments such as "what happened to my mids?" in reviews, but they are doing something about that with the RPM (rack) and Para Driver (pedal). The RPM is what Geddy of Rush uses live, with no amps in the signal chain to the PA.[/quote] But doesn't Geddy use an Avalon & a Palmer? Oh yeah - topic, the Paradriver might well do it. Easy to lug around too.

[quote name='clauster' post='245944' date='Jul 23 2008, 11:30 AM']10.5s for weight and cost but 15 for the mighty bass tone[/quote] The Mighty Mighty Bass Tones? Coat please... EDIT: Only 2 months left to build it laddie...
