[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1403108766' post='2479903'] I have a similar issue with my metal-tastic flying V bass. I was wondering about going with a treble bleed capacitor on the volume control but i also wondered if its possible to reposition the cap on the tone to cut bass instead of treble? [/quote] Treble bleed caps can be great on skinny-string guitars, but I've yet to hear of anyone getting them to work well with basses. Yes you can create a passive bass control, like [url="http://www.glguitars.com/schematics/L-1500_L-1505_ClimaxBass_diagram.pdf"]this[/url] on a G&L bass. I use mine at about 80% just to tame the pickup's mahoosiveness a little!

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1403016919' post='2478883'] My theory is that the orange isobaric cabs are lacking in the bottom octave, something you wont really notice when standing close to the cab - it may sound "full and deep" up close but not projecting the lows any distance. [/quote] Is there anyone out there with first-hand (i.e. gigging) experience of Orange isobarics, who is able to confirm or refute this?

Yep, plenty of micro heads popping up used, just buy 'em, try 'em, sell 'em on if you don't like 'em - you won't lose much doing that.

Hmmm... New King's Road are somewhat 'speculative' in their pricing, but should still fetch a good sum.

Mike bought my Pedaltrain, paid promptly and kindly left me feedback as soon as he received it.

If it were mine I would fix it (or get it fixed). I'm sure there's still a lot of love for these, and being a lighter-weight non-sleeved version, it kind of muscles in on the micro-head action too.

That was mostly guff.

Are there any Midget owners near you Lewis? Happy to meet up in the interests of bassology if you are near me, or maybe you could attend a Bass Bash?

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1402917531' post='2477786'] Poke the last bit of the cable through the cab handle to take the stress off the amp's input socket [/quote] This. And tuck the other end through your strap. and use a right-angled plug at the bass end.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1402917647' post='2477792'] Doesn't it? I was never keen on Bravewood - I always thought they looked like they'd been nibbled by rodents. [/quote] Many people are unware of their patent Rodetn Nibbling Process™.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1402776704' post='2476771'] I use switch cleaner what I do is take the knob off the pot and then I use a tight fitting length of clear plastic tubing put that over the pot shaft to form a tight fit then give it several smallish blasts of the cleaner down the tube them I remove the tube turn the pot from left to right a few times and you will feel it become easier to turn and then I just repeat the process again if needed [/quote] I prefer to get to the back of the pot by removing the top of the case or whatever. Most pots have a little indent on the edge of the back surface, and this is the opening into which I insert the switch cleaner applicator tube. Some pots incorporate a lubricant to allow the shaft to move freely (please - save it for OT!), and if you spray switch-cleaner in at the front where the shaft emerges from the threaded portion, you risk washing away that lube. (IIRC, Alesis specifically warn against this. )

I think we can see which way this is heading...

[quote name='hen barn' timestamp='1402860578' post='2477375'] I will be bringing my Status kingbass artist Status s2 classic 5 string Genz Benz steamliner 900 Vanderkays 2x10 & 1x12 [/quote] In that case I shall leave my Streamliner at home and bring the SVT 3 Pro instead

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1402852873' post='2477260'] Are the white ones the same as the black ones? [/quote] No they are a different colour. *shambles towards coat rack, hiding face in shame*

Ok 'fullness' and 'wallop'. We are talking lower mids here, not something lacking in the OTB head from having heard one. I have no experience of isobaric speakers though, beyond a quick try-out at Anderton's one time. My best suggestion would be to try out a completely different rig on one of your gigs and see (or hear) whether you have the same problem. Whereabouts are you?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1402828158' post='2477037'] I think the "volume issue" with the 3-PRO is as Chris puts it, people not using the amp as per the instructions of whacking Master on full, the using Gain for volume. I thought the 3-PRO had a really wide array of sounds, but in the end, after messing about with the graphic and mid-switch etc, I found the sound I liked best was all eq set flat. [/quote] I can't be @rsed with the graphic, but I do like to push the lower mids a bit - switch position 1 or maybe 2. As Lozz and Chris mention, the example settings in the manual show Master maxed out and Gain very low. I used the Gain and Master the other way round, but it still gives you the same volume in the end. I will report back after next Friday's gig - Foo Fighters, Green Day, RHCP, Muse, Oasis, Jam, Weller, Coldplay etc.

Yep, Midget = 9kg, Compact = 12kg. Both ridiculously light, but the Compact is about 40% bigger in volume.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1402786649' post='2476850'] a big single knob comes in very useful! [/quote] No arguments there! [quote name='topheteatwo' timestamp='1402766419' post='2476672'] I've always thought about a phaser, let me know what you think [/quote] When I used effects on bass, one of them was a Phase 100, which I used on a fast rate. You have to be a bit careful with phasers on bass, as some settings will cause a lot of cancellation in the lower frquencies.
