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.

I'd go & try some rigs out. I'd also not worry about the fx loop & just put the B3 between the bass & the amp. I really umm'd & ahh'd about separates & ended up with a MarkBass 2x10 combo. Here's a couple of things to add to your list... Markbass LMII/III, etc (or even one of their combos) Genz Benz Aguilar & Barefaced for a cab (though this might take most of your budget, even s/h) Have fun searching. I did.

In a previous job, a "Health & Safety advisor" told me that I need to wear a lanyard if I'm climbing above 2 meters. I was going up about 3 meters so I put my pass on.

Who ya gonna call?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1365724277' post='2043689'] Just wondering if there were any other discriminatory qualifications. Atheist bassists, abstain, whatever their morals..? Hindu, or Sikh..? Seemed odd to me, that's all... [/quote] Ah, I see. I don't think he'd mind, as long as they follow Jesus. I don't see how it's any different from asking for a female bassist or a bassist that's willing to travel. All the best with it Neil, there's a good few Christian bassists on here. Though I would consider non Christians too as they're good for a debate in the band (though getting one to play All Day might be a ).

I've almost got a band formed. Just need a keys player to complete the line up. Got me on bass, a guitarist, a drummer & a vocalist/turntablist. Style of music is a mix of Acid Jazz, Funk, House, Breakbeat, Soul & anything else that has a groove & makes you move. PM me or leave a reply if you're interested.

+1 to getting things out of the FX loop. It's not usually a good enough signal for your tracking effects. If that fails, get a EHX BMS or Markbass SS & put it before it & then put the SYB3 into bypass mode. That should cure it.

I've got a Markbass combo & it pretty much puts out what I put in. So if I'm playing clean, I get clean. Turn on the dirt & that's what comes out (in a good way of course). If you're not in a hurry, once my band's up & running you're welcome to try it out.

My last band was me & the singer as a writing team. I always left the lyrics to him as he could listen to a melody & get the words to fit so the syllables & vowels fell into place (if you know what I mean). Writing could take a number of routes. Sometimes he'd have a chord progression & a basic melody, sometimes some lyrics. Sometimes I'd take a bassline or chord progrssion, sometimes I'd have an entire song less the lyrics. When we first met, I had a bassline that I couldn't fit anything, played it to him & he had lyrics that he'd written with the same issue, they fitted perfectly & the drums & guitar just fell into place. Now I'm working on writing lyrics as I don't have him to write anymore & in my new band, I'm the only one who knows how to write lyrics (& not by any means great either).

You need to be careful with funk these days. What was a compliment in the 70s could insult someone now. E.G "Hey baby, you smell funky".

SpaceChick just hit the nail on the head. If you can play to a decent level & decide to switch genres, then if you're playing/practicing regularly there's no reason why you couldn't excel. Not enough people combine alternating genres by the sound of things.

One of my fave bassists (whom I took a lot of influence from in my teens) has a tone that I don't like... Billy Sheehan

I wouldn't worry, it's a drum academy. The audience will be too busy fighting over the Duplo to notice what you're playing! I saw him back in the late 80s playing at the SECC with DLR, Vai & Sheehan. Awesome gig. Another pointless bit of info, Matt used to play the same bass as me (Ibby SR 1000). Looks like he's now a MM player.

Camel Toe Chasers I think trying to find a good band name can be one of the hardest parts of forming a band (I've been scratching my head for a good few mumphs now).

I'll try & download the stems. Last month I couldn't, but I didn't have time to do anything as it was. My last band did some Americana, so this might just help me go completely loopy.
