[quote name='charic' post='1183068' date='Mar 31 2011, 10:32 AM']Sell the cab and get a 2 x 10 guitar and a 2 x 10 bass cab seperately?[/quote] Nooo! Too sensible!

You could seal the bottom section & basically make it like a cab within a cab. You might have to turn it into a 1x10 & close off the other 10" hole, but there's no reason it can't be done.

You could always buy a 1/2 sheet of plywood & seal the cab For the price of a couple of drivers to stick in your 4x10, you could buy a cheap bass cab off of here (Ashdown MAG, Hartke, etc).

Sounds like the OC-2 is gonna be a good tool to getting towards the sound I'm trying to get. I tried an OC-3 a few years back & wasn't too keen on it but I've read on here a few times that the OC-2 is the better pedal. I've been gassing for a nice fretless 5 for some time now. I don't want the "mwah" sound tho (eg: Jaco).

I like this one: He looks wasted algmusic posted this (&the Hip Hop drumming one) in the amps & cabs section about a month ago, so thanks to him for this one.

So are you getting a DJ & Vocalist involved with Our Helical Mind? That would bring everything up a level again if the DJ was working along with your metronome (be it adding beats, sounds, scratching or whatever) & having some vocals on there would sit in lovely. Love the bass sounds on Face 4 Radio. What did you use for that?

It seems about average pricewise. Ashdown stuff usually gets the thumbs up from those who like their stuff. There's a MAG 300r & 1x15 cab in the For Sale section for £200. If you're willing to go 2nd hand, you'll get a better rig for your money. Just noticed it's the MAG 600, makes a better price.

As far as I understand from the OP, he wants to be able to run 2 cabs from his amp to shift a bit more air. Unfortunately he's bought a 4Ω cab & the amp's min load is 4Ω. The idea of an attenuator isn't ridiculous, but there's better options as other's have said. 1, get a series cable or 2, sell/swap the cab for an 8Ω jobbie.

[quote name='Albi' post='1181978' date='Mar 30 2011, 11:05 AM']Brother of a friend mine is making it. Hasn't got any website, but it's basicly based on the Moog LPF.[/quote] Sounds interesting. Is he making it so that you can assign the pedal to different parameters? If not, then ask him if he can.

Well it's well known that you'll get 10 different answers from 3 bassists when asking a question. At least the answers are of a similar ilk to the question.

This must be a Southerner's thing? I've never noticed any changes like this at certain times of the year. By Southerner, I mean where you get enough of a temperature change to make a difference. Up here you get cold & wet or cold & not so wet with some sunny days between (Summer & Winter respectively).

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='1180113' date='Mar 28 2011, 09:43 PM']Whatever the issue is, it's all possible to work around (unless you're living in a cupboard). 2x10s don't have much of a footprint if stacked vertically and they're strong enough that a guitar amp or other stuff can be put on top when not in use and you can get small heads that will fit in a gig back that will be enough. I doubt you'd struggle to find a nice rig (new) for £500 that would be giggable and compact. £400ish would buy you a new GK MB200 head and Ashdown 2x10 for example. Any gigs where that would be too little should have PA support anyway.[/quote] Funny, I'd been thinking this as a suggestion but didn't as the OP hasn't given any budget for this. But yes, there's a few good small heads that can be picked up for @ £300 that'll fit in a gig bag & there's good small footprint 2x10s from the likes of Markbass & TC Electronics (to name but a few) & a narrow 2x10 could always be stacked within the guitar rig when neither are being used.

All you need to do in any software (Cubase, Reaper, Logic or anything else) is make a track & assign either a built in instruments sound or any vsti & make a 4 bar loop, put a note on the 1st beat that plays your first click (use a sound like "rimshot") & leave the rest blank. Simples really.

I've been playing guitar for @ 28 years & still enjoy it, but when you get into bass it just takes over. Laying down a good groove is much more satisfying than nailing a solo.

Another option would be to have a small combo with a DI out. This way you'll have some monitoring behind you. I'll give it 6 months & you'll be selling the guitar rig to get that dream bass rig

So for someone whom uses FX, would a clear sounding amp & cab be a better option to have for using at both practice & gigs (so getting the sound you want at practice wont dramatically change when playing live)?

[quote name='thinman' post='1178642' date='Mar 27 2011, 07:40 PM']I tend to avoid them but not entirely and iften need to use E as others have mentioned. However, I DO avoid using the moment to ostentatiously wave my left arm about or conspicuously dangle it limply by my side in a "look at me I only need one hand" style.[/quote] [quote name='gjones' post='1178772' date='Mar 27 2011, 09:11 PM']Hmmmm........that's where I'm going wrong. I must use open strings more often [/quote] The goal is to have both arms hanging limply. Then you know you're gifted!

It really depends on what I'm playing. I try to play fretted notes as opposed to open but things like Muse's Hysteria would be a tad tricky on a 4 string bass! Also if I'm doing a run or arpeggio I'll utilise open notes to make it easier to move about the fretboard.

[quote name='icastle' post='1177062' date='Mar 26 2011, 11:34 AM']My opinion has always been that practices should be kept as quiet as possible to allow detail and texture to be practiced\developed.[/quote] Try telling that to a guitarist!

Why not send Silent Fly a PM & see what [sfx] can do?

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1046454' date='Dec 3 2010, 03:29 PM']Bruce Thomas with Costello. Fluent, driving, clever. Best pop / rock bassline ever. [/quote] I do like a bit of Elvis Costello but what is it with his poses? Does he have a dodgy left leg or is he just a bit of a tard?

Not my cuppa either but looks like a good deal. I'm not sure how much that rig would really be in any other shops but I did find.... [url="http://www.giggear.co.uk/n/Ashdown-Classic-Series-Bass-Stack-Special-Deal/page/8/"]THIS![/url]

Just before I read Phil's post I was thinking casters would be an investment. Or what about one of those fold up trolleys? Bigger wheels for getting over curbs & things.
