I'd go for the GK rig too. Was gonna go for a GK 700RB myself, but ended up with Markbass.

For increaseing your speed, turn the volume up slightly & play with a lighter touch. It takes a little getting used to, but as you're not having to touch the strings as hard, it gives you that little extra maneuverability.

I've been listening to the single for the past couple of weeks on youtube. Love Daft Punk's stuff & can't wait to get it.

How about Primate Jazzmate

I think for a duet, key or bass with vocals sounds better than guitar & vocals. I used to play some stuff with just a singer, most with guitar & some with bass. Hated the monotony of strumming chords & doing something more complex wouldn't always work with the vocals, but bass just sounded soo sweet & much more fun (even just playing roots & harmonies).

Isn't that where a synth's velocity, aftertouch, pitch bend & Mod wheel/stick come into play? & then you have all the parameters that you can play about with in real time. I do still prefer playing bass in a band situ though & I don't think there's a good forum for any other instruments (not that I've found).

[quote name='mcgraham' timestamp='1366085840' post='2048150'] Love playing synth and I too love the idea of playing an awesome voyager synth exclusively, but I find the sound of synths far too grating on my ears (even though I love the sound) when playing them in isolation for long periods of time. [/quote] I know what you mean, I get it from playing my guitar for more than an hour & hate playing cheap sounding keys (especially most home keyboards). If I did go down the keys route, it would need to have a really good palette with some good EPs & pads (hence my choices ). Enough!!! You've got me considering it again!

If I was able to include having a band, then bass all the way. If it's just me & no band, then keys. Preferably a moog voyager, korg kronos or nord stage, but I doubt I'd have the funds. So maybe a korg m3 (yes, I'd been considering it when I was bandless & might still if the band's a no goer). I play guitar, I wouldn't choose it over the majority of other instruments as everyone who wants to play an instrument plays guitar & it all gets too samey. Wish I could sing though.

[quote name='paul torch' timestamp='1365953863' post='2046417'] I tried a TC RH 250 in the shop when I bought the PF350 and noticed it seemed to be a lot louder. Both were going through an 8ohm cab. [/quote] 'tis why you need to try. The RH 450 puts out about 150w at 8Ω, but it's loud. My LMII puts @ 350w at 8Ω & it's loud too. If you're liking the Fender sound, try one out. It might just be the answer. I'm liking the sound of that P bass, just don't dig the looks at all.

Have you tried the OC2 on it's own (as in it being the only thing between the bass & amp)? My other thought is the "drive" on the moog could be too high (it works even in bypass).

You'd need to try one, but don't get caught up in the wattage of an amp as it means little on it's own. There's a few folk on here who seem happy enough with the older LM250 & the TC RH amps which are about the same in wattage. Ask GAK if you can try the LM250 & if you can return it if it doesn't suit.

i've never used a Fender head. Try a few different one's, but I'm with Lozz on the Markbass heads though.

I'd assumed you had. Still worth asking them how they can help & if not, ask them to ask Ampeg if they would be willing to help. It'll be interesting to see how the customer service side of these 2 companies are? I'm hoping they're both good.

Have a look here... http://sogahub.tradingstandards.gov.uk/ http://www.findlaw.co.uk/law/consumer/consumer_protection/139.html If that's all GAK are offering you, tell GAK you want a refund for the amp so you can buy what you want. It's been less than 6 months since purchase. As for the cab, it might be wise to (try to) get in touch with Ampeg (good luck with that, as nothing on their website works unless you're in the US). I'd also be asking GAK if they can lend you a cab as a good will gesture until things are sorted out. After all, you bought both items off them & now neither work.

I would think that if someone has sold a product that has damaged your property (the cab), then they are responsible for either repair or replacement of the damaged items. You would deal with the seller & the seller would then take it up with the manufacturer. If it was I, I'd be getting a different amp.

I got a lead about 5 years ago with Neutrik jacks, one end being a straight silent. Failed after 3 months, so I chopped it off & bought an ordinary decent 1/4 jack & soldered it on. Silent jack has been in my spares toolbox for the past 5 years waiting on me getting time to see if I can fix it. Didn't know they had a lifetime guarantee though.

As all the above & also check out Roy Ayres. Even if you've never heard of him, you'll have heard a good few of his songs either on ads, in games or sampled.

[quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1365760434' post='2043966'] Hmm, I have done my working from heights course with harnesses. They are designed to keep you alive for max 15 mins (just the fall bit really). If you don't get rescued from the harness within 15 mins you will normally die, due to restriction of the blood flow through the major vessels in your upper legs/groin. Happy Friday everyone!!! [/quote] I think I'll take my chances falling 8 foot with an ID holder.

[quote name='Stroopy121' timestamp='1365753858' post='2043810'] Well colour me educated, I had no idea. Looked badass though, I'm considering opening up my cab and installing some blubs and LEDs to have the same effect! xx [/quote] You could use colour changing bulbs so the strength of the signal changes the colour. That would be cool.

[quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1365758154' post='2043904'] well I know which I'd rather wear [/quote] Now I'm picturing you swinging about in a harness playing your bass!

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1365752653' post='2043790'] The health and safety officer was correct to be fair.You are still around to tell the tale, so the pass probably saved you from a nasty accident [/quote] I think he meant this... & not this...

I'd have loved to have come along, but alas no joy this time. Next time you're doing a mini Scot tour, add Perth or Dundee (you'd probably get a good gig at the Perth Concert Hall). Have fun & bring some sunshine up with you.
