I sometimes connect to two too & use the 2 outs from the amp, but like gary mac says, it makes no difference.

A bunch of awesome tunes, but one just fitted the pic perfect for me (& not something that I would have thought of either). It's a close fought battle! The winner should be proud to wear his BC polo.

Quality. Check this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4XI6LXCsH8

I googled the definition of twat & it said "You. You are a...". Well they've let me on BC for this long, so it must be ok.

You could measure the internal dimensions of the Minimark & adjust the internals of the cab to suit.

MarkBass use B&C drivers. Blue Aran sell the 6" drivers for £90 a piece. You'll want to make sure the box dimensions & ports suit the drivers. http://www.bluearan.com/index.php?id=BAC6PS38&browsemode=manufacturer

Guitar Toolkit is a very handy piece of kit for tuning,learning scales, chords & charts & also has a metronome/drum machine. Worth every penny of £5.99. Tabletop is a handy free app too. It's like having a table with different bits of kit on it (sequencer, drum machine, synths, effects, etc) & you can add to it (I already had the Akai iMPC app which I can use in it). You can also record into it, but I'm not sure if it's any good for that. Animoog is fun & was £2.99 about a month ago, but it's now £29.99 again.

As long as you get a good basecoat, get it smooth & the topcoat doesn't react to it (crack, bubble, not stick), then it should be fine. I would go & get some lacquer/varnish & give it several thin coats to protect it from scratches, etc. But yeah, looking good so far.

I had a Carlsberg Cobra 90 head theough 2 Marshall 15" cabs. As much as folk slagged it off (me included), it never got any "that sounds crap" comments. I think a service would cost about as much as it's worth though. As for drivers, measure the internal dimensions, convert that to litres & have a look on tinterweb at driver specs. Mind & take any ports into account.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387812421' post='2316009'] Sure - I use 18 months a reasonable time frame for something to last IF it's a quality item. A trader has to be able to rely on a sale after a certain amount of time has passed If it's goes wrong in six months and you haven't been brutal with it then reject it in writing and be prepared to see them in court if the trader doesn't see the clear writing on the wall [/quote] My Xbox failed after 3 years due to a "known" fault (single red light due to poor connection of graphics processor). I took it back & got a replacement as this wasn't fit for it's intended purpose. If it's a quality item I expect it to last at least 4 years. If it's a cheap item I would expect at least 18-24 months.

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1387799729' post='2315747'] The five year liability is more to do with safety, you cannot expect things to last forever [/quote] But you can expect an amp that costs several hundred £ to last more than a year & be fit for purpose. By law, this is "upto" 6 years (depending on the item).

If you bought it new & you haven't abused the combo, get in touch with where you bought it & ask them to fix it (for free of course). Do this before you start opening things up yourself.

I couldn't give you a definite top 3, but here's 3 that I'd live to have a jam with... JoJo Mayer Chad Smith Cobus

How about rocking up a non rock song, maybe a classic dance song?

Been having mucho fun playing this old song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1387399636' post='2311634'] little cards left in phone boxes? [/quote] That was the 1st thought that came into my head.

I unplugged my tweeter too. Might try the Stage Line.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1387310270' post='2310609'] It's not that simple. You can ask for a refund but if the goods were bought months ago it is too long a time period to 'reject' them. If the goods can't be repaired you can then demand a replacement. [/quote] You're correct on the rejection timescale, but I'd still kick up a stink if they're acting like wazzicks. Sale of goods act is up to 5 years in Scotland & 6 in England & Wales. I had a 3 year old Xbox 360 replaced under the SoGa due to a "known" fault. I stated that it was poor workmanship & not fit for purpose. Game put up a fight, but they then gave in when I threatened legal action. If the item is less than 6 months old, then it's up to the seller to prove that the item is not faulty. [quote name='SlipperySquid' timestamp='1387310307' post='2310611'] Already thought about that but it doesn't work. It's down to the manufacturers choice. [/quote] The contract is with you & the seller, NOT the manufacturer.

If the amp's only 6 months old I'd be asking for a replacement under your statutory rights. No ifs or buts. I wouldn't leave the shop until you get the replacement either & raise it every time a customer comes in if they won't agree.

I think Markbass gear sounds ok at home, but when it's in a band situ, it then comes into it's own.

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1387187050' post='2309017'] That's all fair, I hope you didn't think it was a personal thing I'm an ex science teacher and I can't resist my instinct against the unqualified statement. My wife is an English teacher and can't resist correcting my grammar. Hope it opened up the debate though. [/quote] I didn't think it was personal. I'm always keen to know how &why things work. Helps me get a good sound at gigs.

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1387149746' post='2308859'] You should get an octaver. [/quote] That goes 2 octaves up so you can play what the wannabe bassists are leaving out.

Brilliant track! A lot of house music takes it's insipration from 70s funk & disco. Hed Kandi albums are a great place to pick up some uplifting house basslines.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1387076258' post='2308043'] +1. Within reason you can get pretty much the same result with any cone size from an eight to an eighteen, with the single exception of the dispersion angle. It isn't all that practical to get 30Hz out of eights, or 4kHz out of eighteens, but it can be done. There is absolutely no characteristic ten vs twelve vs fifteen sound. [/quote] A couple of weeks ago, my guitarists found out what dispersion is when the room we hired had a 4x12 guitar cab, stood right in front of it & kept turning it up because he couldn't hear himself. I suggested that he move further away & he stepped forward & to the side. He still thought he was quiet. The other guitarist pulled him over to where he was standing, straight across from the cab & he stood there for the rest of the sesh (& turned down too).

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1387018133' post='2307413'] Sorry, but this simply isn't true, though it has become the received wisdom on BC. [/quote] I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying, though I could have worded it a little better. But maybe a good thing as you then went on to explain quite a few things. What I meant was that a driver's diameter doesn't mean it has a particular sound. It's down to lots of factors. The 2 15" Marshalls that I had in the 80s had nowhere near as much bass as the 2x10" Makbass that I use nowadays. Though this is most likely a mix of better designed drivers and better designed cabs.
