[quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1394461120' post='2391551'] I thought about the 365 but am concerned that if my bass is on my back then how do I put another bag on my back and if my pedalboard is at my side I have the same issue there as well. [/quote] I had the same problem last year, I bought a really great backpack but found it was a pain to carry with my gig bag, so I sold it [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198256-mono-kondensor-musicians-backpack/page__p__1961082__hl__mono__fromsearch__1#entry1961082"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/198256-mono-kondensor-musicians-backpack/page__p__1961082__hl__mono__fromsearch__1#entry1961082[/url] I bought a decent messenger type bag, but since buying a Vertigo gig bag, I'm stuck for places to keep tuners and straps and spare batteries in. That Mono bag Walbassist has looks brilliant .

Mine's Dyamond wood, very, very hard. Sounds great though, a bit like phenolic.

I've got the 'ground up' CD/DVD which is really good, lots of live studio footage. The one guy's one of the tutors at uni . -
[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1394376351' post='2390794'] I don't quite know how to reply to this... other than to say I [i]sincerely[/i] believe from the [i]bottom of my heart[/i] that James Last is MUSIC FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE MUSIC. [/quote] My dad liked/likes him, so yes . Though he did have some brilliant musicians playing in his band, and I'm sure I heard somewhere that it was a really great gig to get.

I seem to be the odd one out, my parents never really listened to music, my dad likes Smooth FM, so that describes his musical taste (or lack of ). I only got into music through school, and hearing it played on the radio. Then my aunt and uncle gave me my auntie's old record deck and a stack of records, mostly stuff that I didn't actually like, but it started me off .

Still, still, still available . Possibly gonna keep it if it doesn't go soon.

Anyone recommend a decent laptop/messenger type bag ?
ambient replied to ambient's topic in General Discussion
I've not seen them before, cool thanks . -
That'll take my 13" macbook pro suitably protected, plus bits and pieces such as clip on tuners, a few books, pencil case etc. I recently bought a Mono Vertigo gig bag, which is great. I love the unzip along the top and drop the bass in thing, and it's nice and sleek. It does lack somewhat in the stowage area though. I considered the Mono Tick add on, but it's actually too big for what I need, and spoils the sleekness of the gig bag. I travel by train a lot, and the bag needs to fit on the overhead luggage rack, which aren't particularly roomy on Virgin trains. So I'm now considering changing the messenger bag that I currently use. It's a cool bag, but only really has room for the macbook and a couple of books. No room for other stuff .

There's the inherent sound of the instrument, then there's the sound of the notes that you produce. Your fingers aren't exactly the same as everyone else's, they will exert different pressure on the string, stay with the string a little longer or shorter before letting go. Right and left hand nuances will make a difference as to the sound that comes from the speakers. It'd be interesting to here a recording of 2 different people playing the same piece on the same bass. I'm guessing that you would hear the inherent instruments sound, but there would be an amazing difference still in the sound of the notes.

Now that is cool , never noticed the link in your signature before. Floyd are one of my favourite bands.

[quote name='kevvo66' timestamp='1394136817' post='2388412'] I'm after something compact with more balls I just can't figure the acme out I would if I kept it I'd like add another cab but have not clue what to add cab wise I like my ashdown 414t but it's just to heavy me plus if I added a second cab would it damage the acme? [/quote] It's the amp that you'd have to watch. If you added another 4 ohm cab then you'd need an amp that'd do 2 ohms.

[quote name='richardd' timestamp='1394102376' post='2387891'] Hi Can you explain the two controls on the back plate,as the web site does not mention them,Thanks Rich [/quote] The Acme really is the ultimate cab (in my opinion), I really only sold mine because I needed something I could carry on the train and the tube. The 2 controls on the rear are attenuators for the mid range driver and the hi range tweeter. You can basically adjust the levels of each to 'tune' the cab so that it sounds how you want it to. Set at 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock the cab is essentially flat. It reproduces low notes better than any cab I've ever heard or played through, hence the name 'low B'. There's a lot of stuff said about Acme's that they need a lot of power, and are insensitive. The reality though is that the designer is just a bit more honest with his specs than most other designers, he tells you what the specs actually are, other's tell you what they would like them to be on their products. I used my 4 ohm cab with both a Markbass LM2 and an ATS head, both were plenty loud enough.

Thanks guys, I'll experiment with what you've suggested.

I want to put an effect on all the tracks briefly, just for one bar, how do I do that ? Without automating every individual track, is there a way ?

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1393918343' post='2385698'] Hmm thats an interesting one. I really like Status half rounds straight out of the box but wasn't as impressed with the flats. Since then I have found Status round wounds take a long time to play in but once there they are great. Maybe I didn't give their flats enough time to settle down. I'll have to dig them out and try them again. [/quote] [size=4][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Their flats seem to have [/color][/font][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]improved. I tried a set a few years ago and wasn't too impressed, they were dead out of the packet. [/color][/font][/size] [size=4][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I needed a 6 string set though, and there's not a lot of choice, so gambled a bit on them, but I really quite like them.[/font][/color][/size]

I have a Markbass LM3 and a Markbass NY121 cab. I've travelled with them and my bass on the tube across London, and onto a train to Birmingham. Very easy to carry, the cab stowed away in the little luggage bit in the carriage and the amp went overhead with my bass and other bag. Extremely light and compact, and easily loud enough for an average sized gig.
