What's the best bit of kit you've ever bought?
munkonthehill replied to Len_derby's topic in General Discussion
Without a 2nd thought it has to be my fender jag. Its the best playing bass that I have owned and although the sound maybe isnt as refined or 'hi-fi' as the higher end section of basses. However this all adds to the amazing voice this bass has. I nearly sold/traded it a few times but always stayed with it. Im very glad I have. My Ric on the other hand...............MAKE ME AN OFFER -

Think im going to give up bass playing..
munkonthehill replied to bubinga5's topic in General Discussion
B5 just remember that YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you strap on your bass and the sound rolls like thunder, think how good it feels. This was NOT the band for you. Get into a band that suits you. Just cos these chaps may be good at what THEY do, it doesnt mean its the band to be in. Just like your good pals on BC are saying, just keep playing and enjoy it. -

munkonthehill replied to Magnolia's topic in General Discussion
loving it matey. Simple Rock n Roll. You cant beat that dynamic. Once folk try and get too clever it loses its feel and essence. Top notch -

[quote name='Superbass' post='1196867' date='Apr 12 2011, 02:38 PM']This is prob a stupid question but im fairly new to the technical aspects of cabs and amps. Would a bass terror 500 have any problem powering 2 x SP212's? I want to make a mini stack and want to make sure i can optimise the cabs for big venues. Thanks[/quote] yeah no problems. The orange head is switchable of either 4 or 8 ohms. as these cabs are 8 ohms, you would select the head to the 4ohm setting. This means your overall load from the cabs will also be 4ohms which will give you your full 500watts from the head.

Gig on the 23rd and just found serious hardware failure
munkonthehill replied to munkonthehill's topic in General Discussion
infact its this one here but I cant find the matching speakers. [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=2058&brandID=2"]http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...8&brandID=2[/url] -
Gig on the 23rd and just found serious hardware failure
munkonthehill replied to munkonthehill's topic in General Discussion
the PA is a samson rig. All matching although i cant remember the exact model. Speakers are 225watt 8ohm and I found the tweeter to be 50watt 8ohm which will be getting upgraded to a 60watt 8ohm replacement. The band I bought it from were a ceilidh band and ran everything through the PA. They must have known they were blown when they sold them which I feel a bit sh*tty. However we got a 900watt (2x450 each side) PA head along with 2x 225watt speakers and 2x 175watt monitors for 200bucks. Even with these replacements I still think it was a bloody good deal. -
Bass takes less time than guitar
munkonthehill replied to spinynorman's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
hahaha. What suprised me is the lack of knowledge regarding impedance from band members. Also not wanting to learn!!!! Its a bloody liberty and everyone just now assumes setting up the PA is my job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -

[quote name='deepbass5' post='1203053' date='Apr 17 2011, 11:02 PM']Glad you have sorted it, I own our PA and there are so many things that can go a miss. I wondered if yours was a cable short to the speakers that can sound odd and of course do damage to your amp. The other thing to watch for is insert jacks. I use a sterio exciter /enhancer on ballanced jacks so like stereo to two monos (send -Return) jack sockets can get tired and these need to make contact again internally when not in use. I periodically use a professional contact cleaner and spray a jack with it, then run the sprayed jack in and out of all the jacks on the mixer to clean them up. same with you sliders each gig slide them all up and down whilst off their full travel. these two things should avoid any poor quality or scratchy sound. It is amazing how much dust and sh..t gets thrown up by dancers over a mixer. I also keep spare everything just in case, but not speakers !! All the best [/quote] food for thought there. I will keep this in mind and give it a wee mini service the best I can. -

[quote name='TimR' post='1202947' date='Apr 17 2011, 08:55 PM']They're not Peavey Pro15s are they? My brother was using our PA for his band and getting constant complaints that it wasn't loud enough. So much so that he hired some subs for a gig because the drummer said his bass drum wasn't sounding punchy enough (go figure). I found both had gone and Wembley PA supplied us with a couple of drivers next day. Tweeters are very susceptible to distortion at levels much lower than the main speakers are. Make sure you are sending a clean signal though your speakers.[/quote] its only vocals going through the PA and now I know what the muffled issues are I have adjusted the EQ accordingly. On Friday we fired working speakers into the PA and all was well. -

So I think its roughly 1 year since my last proper gig where I needed my own PA and stuff. When we were gigging we were told that the singer was muffled and quite bassy. But as we didnt really do any soundchecks for the small venues and as we had the monitors facing us sounding ok, we just assumed it was poor EQ and constantly mucked about with it. The band split and the PA went into the celler. So fastforward to Friday night. My new band have a gig lined up for the 23rd. So we agreed we would use all our own gear at Friday nights rehearsal. Set up everything and everything worked fine all lights on and we had sound. However we instanly noticed that we were very muffled and in actual fact the monitors seemed louder than my speakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I investigated further only to find both horns had blown and no doubt in my mind were like that when we bought it and gigged with them like that for a year So thankfully a very close friend is the man to know when it comes to speaker upkeep. So after a quick visit and a cuppa tea later I left the speakers with him and he has ordered new horns which should be here on Tuesday and fitted before Saturday.................... So there we go kids,,,,,,take care of your gear. Just thinking how bad we must have sounded with no horns in all those past gigs
