It is usually found in longer rooms and effects bass frequencies waveforms are much "longer" and more powerful than high frequencies (told you bass was better than guitar). Basically your waveform could of been reflected off of the far wall and if to peaks of a wave hit each other they add together and at that point the bass frequencies will sound louder. Its not really amp science but acoustics. I find it hard to explain without pictures and im not at my home comp, may try again later[/quote] it happens in every room though to a certain extent? my limited understanding of it would be that standing waves can only occur in rooms with parallel walls and typically only affect frequencies between about 70Hz and 300Hz? so boxy rooms and bass guitar are terrible for it and occasionally recording studios are built at an odd shape to avoid this although any room with a flat ceiling will naturally have 2 parallel sides (floor and ceiling) although it would have to be a pretty high ceiling to cause problems. The formula for determining the fundamental frequency of a standing wave for a particular room dimension is: fo = V / 2d Where: fo = Fundamental frequency of the standing wave V = Velocity of sound (1130 feet per second) d = Room dimension being considered in feet (length, width, or height) ^^that's just something from some lecture notes to help you work out what frequencies are likely to cause you problems in a particular space. Don't know if what I've said is 100% accurate or relevant.

I had a similar grill problem with an old 4x10 Trace cab that I owned for about 6 months. The only thing I could do to stop the grill rattling was to just take it off. It didn’t rattle all the time so occasionally it was alright. It was quite easy to take out though because the tuned port covers actually held the grill on so I didn’t actually have to use the screws so it only took about 20 seconds to put it on/take it off. Don’t know if I would have settled for that solution if it took longer and screws were involved. The same thing happened on my 7210H Trace combo that I've just sold so I used to do the same thing on that...just take the grill off. Don’t know if that helps [i]at all [/i]but I’m sure there are ways of reducing the vibration across the grill and I’m sure it’s a very common issue with cabs that have a metal grill. Lucky my SVT is cloth

Wow :wub: All i can say is this pedal is awesome Its the fuzz i have been looking for and the blend just makes it better[/quote] if you don't mind me asking...how much was the total price of the PPB including delivery and customs charges? PM me if you'd rather not post it, cheers mate

[quote name='BassManKev' post='194898' date='May 8 2008, 06:40 PM']its a lovely bass 13 watchers, 370 odd views in less than 3 days, but no offers gettin frustrating, i need money [/quote] if money is the issue and you need it quick then you could probably sell the bass tomorrow for £600. I'm not passing judgement on anything that has previously been said, just that @ £600 you would be making money on what you paid for it as well as getting a quick fix of cash...win/win situation? it's a great looking bass either way though man and good luck with shifting it

how the hell is this so close?!

cheers for the info, I might have to give Panic Music a call later on to see if they can offer advice and possibly sell me a fan

The fan at the front of my SVT-CL is a bit noisy (I know this is quite normal) but I was wondering if there’s any way I can change it for a silent fan cos it can be a bit annoying. Does anyone know how/if it could be done and what fan I should use?

hahaha - got to get me a valnott, my bandmates may appreciate it

a nice Jazz would sound the nuts through the Trace has it arrived yet?

[quote name='mikeh' post='192775' date='May 6 2008, 11:06 AM']I've just taken delivery of a Spider medium sized pedal board Flight Case, and first impressions are VERY good.[/quote] yeah my XL came this morning, it's a biggen, and a gooden, fits my Pod XT Live + 5 pedals easily. My only issue is that my patch cables and power cables aren't long enough

those glow tops look amazing - you could end up spending $1000 on a pedalboard though!! crazy, obviously the mac-daddy of pedalboards

Best all rounder for me was my Trace 7210H that I’ve just sold. So loud for a 2x10 combo and I could instantly dial in the tone I was after…not great in the studio though but not terrible. I’m currently rockin’ an Ampeg rig – SVT-CL with the SVT410-HLF. For me it’s amazing. Everything I want from an amp and more, BUT, you need to be a body builder to shift it about – not the most practical rig and it’s not anywhere near the size/weight of the 8x10. The head weighs about as much as the 4x10 cab. Oddly enough, the best sound I’ve had in the studio came from a 1x15 Crate combo! Proper budget amp and I didn’t even think it was worth giving it ago when I was struggling with some other gear, but amazingly it sounded incredible when miced up although when mixing I do rely heavily on the DI from my pod.
