I thought something similar. Maybe there was some kind of trip-switch if there was a power spike designed to cut rather than put out a massive square-wave and tear everything to shreds? Again, just guess-work. Dan

Ta BOD. Figured 'loose connection' just wondering why it comes back on after a specific amount of time, rather than until I next hit it, you know? Dan

Hey peeps, I have a reasonably cheap little vocal PA that I also use for amplifying my students. Problem is, when I moved into my new house it seems to have gained a bit of a problem in that it all works fine until I tap my foot on the floor a little too hard, or knock the table it's on lightly. When this happens, it cuts out for about 10 seconds then comes back on again. As such I've only been using it in my teaching room and I'd like to use it with my groups too. I'll take it apart and have a look, assuming something has got knocked in transit and I have only to push it in a little. Any ideas before I dis-mantle the thing??? Thanks peeps!!! Dan

And are these all from Rondo? Is that the place to buy SX online? Dan

Cheers Eude. Its safe to say (at the moment) I'm never doing large gigs unmonitored. Problem is, if that changes I'd rather not have to go and buy another head because I didn't have to foresight or patience to wait for a LM2 500w. I'm struggling to afford one head as it is. I had seriously considered the LM250, but if I'm gonna sacrifice anything it'll probably not be power (although having written that sentence, I realise it's utter tosh.) Dan

I'm on the hunt for a suitable head (gonna have a peak at the little giants). If that doesn't go well, I way let the cab go, so I'll keep you all posted!! Dan

I know my modes and scales, like a pianist or guitarist, but mainly play root or triads with the drummer. My practice is mostly rudiment-inspired stuff (paradiddle picking, alternate picking, string skipping) so I can pull off a tight line that I can be proud of. +1 giganods to playing as a drummer though. I've always used the analogy that we are inbetween the drummer and the pianist/guitarist as we play rhythmically but with harmonic/melodic content. My nugget of wisdom is this: [b]Every line I've ever worked on has become more and more simple, and the simpler it is, the happier I am with my playing.[/b] As such I get all my students to learn the first 5 frets like the back of their hand. I get hired because of how well I expone these ideas. Dan

Alex, thanks for the advice!!!!! If that cabs are the right price, i'll be onto it immediately!!!! Dan

Alex - So you're suggesting a second mid-range cab, such as the ones I listed in my first post? That's what I thought as I'd reckoned i'd need the mids to actually hear the fundamentals, as opposed to just ball-shaking bass. Warwick - I mainly play in reasonably low-volume groups but the DnB band play large stages with pretty rubbish monitoring and the drummer really hits the kit. That's the only one but it's also the one that I gig with most, at higher level of gigs (not just toilet circuit). So it looks like I should hold out for the Little Mark II then the 1x10 or 1x12 after? This is what I've been doing, but how often to Tech NDs come up second hand? What a blag!!! Anyone wanna part with theirs? Please? Pretty please? Dan

I'd never even thought of just using the 15". The online specs state it's a fullrange cab but on the back it actually says it range ends more around 4.5kHz. I take it this isn't too low? I suppose I'd know if I had a head to try it through and I originally intended to just take the head out of the Marshall but after removing all the screws, it still wouldn't budge so in 2 years, I've actually never heard the cab. Oh the embarrassment!!! What do you reckon for the Hartke cabs? Not great nick, but the transporter with replaced speaker is nice? I also don't drive, so pickup is a must?? Thanks everyone!! Oh, and Ste, if you insist I'll take your tech cab off you ... for free? I couldn't .. have a chomp on me!!! Dan

Hey guys. Two years ago Warwickhunt sold off two of his Tech Soundsystems cabs and i got the neo 1x15. I bought it because I was gigging in a DnB band a lot and I thought I needed a 'sub' cab. Problem is, I've been skint since then so haven't bought a head for it. Thankfully I'm earning enough again but I've now realise I'll also need another cab to be able to gig (I'm no longer just playing DnB, and I need some definition as well as sub). I've also collected a Hartke MX 4x10 and Transporter 1x15 with upgraded speaker, and still have my old Marshall BassState150. So now I'm waiting for a TechSoundsystems 1x10/2x10/1x12/2x12 and a second-hand Little Mark II to finally put this rig together but when I bought the 1x15 the market was full of these and now they're gone. So what to do? Do I sell the Tech 1x15? Do I buy a head and use the Hartke cabs (I REALLY don't want to carry them!!!) and keep waiting?? Or do I sell the lot. EVERYTHING!! For whatever I can get for it and just buy my girlfriend a holiday. I'm totally exasperated!!! How long do you have to wait for these things?? Dan

Hey man, We spoke on the old BassWorld. I'm a Bedford High graduate (many moons ago) and I've gone on to tour nationally and in Europe, do TV, and many studio sessions. I attended LIPA and am currently teaching as well as gigging and recording. I'm teaching all over the Northwest doing Rock, Metal, Drum & Bass, Garage, Dubstep, Hip-Hop. All sorts. If it sounds interesting, give me a bell! I teach in Wigan on Sundays at the Fuzzbox and charge £20 an hour. If you're interested, drop me a PM Dan

Hey guys, One of my students has my Rockschool Bass Grade 3 book and I want to write and tab out all the scales for him, but I don't know which ones they are. If anyone has the correct book, can you just note scales / arps and keys at the back of the book (Technical Exercises Group A & . It's for tomorrow, and if he's borrowing my book I obviously can't prepare it for him but I'd like to try. Many thanks!!!!!!!! Dan

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='104662' date='Dec 15 2007, 02:49 PM']Is your Axon a MkI or Mk II? Have you updated it with the latest firmware?[/quote] I don't know, so I guess that's a 'no'. I shall follow it up though. Ta, la. Dan

The default screen on my AX100 is a tuner. Very handy for tuning at the beginning of gigs, but its not really an issue seeing as how I've set the box up not to send pitch bend messages, therefore the pitches are rounded to the nearest note. This means I rarely need to tune (of course, I do!!!). The Axon box is annoying me a bit at the mo tho. Sometimes it ignores my A string and decides its some sort of midi reset, messing up my synth patches and causing me to reboot EVERYTHING (FCB, Axon, Roland pickup, Supernova). A blag in gigs unless you've got a synth player you can glare at who instinctively knows its bound to go haywire at some point, and has a suitable patch already lined up to cover you. TBH my MIDI set us is an overall blag at the mo ... I wish I was a kit player in this band (bizarre that that's the easiest compared to my midi/audio rig, the vibraphone and the racks of synths). Dan
