Glad to hear they actually exist because they don’t answer their emails!

Thanks. I have some credit there and I’m getting some other bits and free shipping so thought I might as well

Cheers guys. I’m just being extra careful after a Speakon failed on me before a gig, or maybe it was the wrong type - I’m not overly familiar with the variations with two and four pin etc.

Hi guys I’m doing an order and want to add a Speakon cable. This is for connecting an extension can to a combo. It states: Will this do the job? https://www.thomann.co.uk/cae_lautsprecherkabel.htm Cheers ped

Mobilesheets must be switching as the audio output source when opened. Like if you’re playing Apple Music then open Facebook and in-mute a video, that takes over and subsequently every time you open Facebook it mutes Apple Music as it’s waiting for audio from that app. The solution is to hit mute on a Facebook audio/video clip then play music again from the control centre. Is there some way to stop mobilesheets ‘listening’ for audio?

I recently bought an Eich 112pro combo from @Wan on the forum. Wayne met me half way (in fact I think he travelled much further than I did) and we had a great chat during the familiar car park handover. Lovely guy, with a lot of fantastic experiences and gigs. As described, the combo is in brand new condition and complete with the padded cover and shipping box. Wayne sold it as his gigs now require in-ears, and in some respects, my band is moving in that direction hence the need for something which is step towards that. I’ve had lots of big amps, tube amps and solid state, and I’ve always quite liked combos for some reason. My Blackstar U500/250ACT stack being my most recent rig. However I have found that the gigs we play tend to be in dedicated music venues with decent PA and I only need a monitor. I don’t always get one however as we’re a 7 piece band and there aren’t usually enough. The idea of a kickback came from a recent gig where we played a big-ish stage and I used a house 2x10 Laney combo kickback. It sounded great, as in I could hear myself better than ever. But it was very heavy. I did play the previous version of this Eich combo, by Tecamp, some time ago. I like that it’s still a box shape as opposed to a wedge, and I find the tilt back mechanism, by way of a little metal rod that slots in at the back, elegantly simple and effective. I got it home and set everything flat. I haven’t used many cutting edge new breed cabs so I wasn’t really prepared for the sound of this thing. It sounds and feels absolutely huge, thick and syrupy without any ‘boxy’ vibes that I normally associate with a small combo. It’s really quite incredible. The treble is so smooth and sweet maybe due to there being a separate cone as opposed to a horn for the top end. I didn’t need to change a thing from dead flat for the perfect sound (at home) whikst the simple ‘taste’ control will no doubt be useful in live settings, helping either bring out the clank and mids or warmth and pillowy feel with one twist. It’s also dead silent and pretty light, but reassuringly solid. I have yet to try the DI but will do this weekend. Some pics in ‘lean back’ mode. Not sure how I’ll position it on stage, wonder what others do - maybe to my side so I’m in between it and the drummer. I may get the extension, I very much doubt I’ll ‘need’ it, but in case they stop making them in black it may be nice to have 🤔 Question - if I wanted for some mad reason to use this AND my Blackstar rig, could I use something like a Lehle P Split II after my pedalboard and run a cable into each amp and control them separately? My bass is passive and I’m not sure if my pedalboard buffers the signal or not, certainly the main pedals on the top don’t but there’s a TC Soectracomp underneath, always on?

Just seen this one https://amzn.eu/d/cuipeLf Interesting.. very cheap

Hi mate, The 15 pairs really well with the 2x10 but I haven't tried it on its own. I believe it's a pretty good speaker (Eminence Opus or something). The u500 is great, I really like it - it's not that light but OK to carry like a big box rather than with the top handle (which is OK for manoeuvring it about to an extent). I have tried the various voicing and response curves but found that for my tastes they all sound a bit too much - however on the linear/flat setting it sounds very natural. Perhaps it's very slightly boxy sounding but I have yet to play with the sweepable mids to dial in what I want - it's always been great in a mix on the night. The DI is great too, it's pre or post EQ with the option for emulation (like a fixed IR). I have just bought an Eich 112pro though because my Blackstar stack is either too big for some venues or slightly redundant at bigger ones with decent PA. You're welcome to try it if you like Cheers

Blackstar do a 250ACT (powered 15" speaker) which is an active extension for the U500 combo (I have both). I'm not 100% sure but I guess you could have a couple of those and use them with your pedalboard as a pre?

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure

Yeah maybe. Can you link me to the one you mean?

Just tried the Joyo. I’m getting some crackle, feels like clipping, when digging in. Will investigate more but likely it’ll go back. The button to turn on/pair is a bit cheap feeling compared to the Boss ‘on when plugged in’ system.

Orba 3 is being released soon! It has a built in sampler which will be really useful, it was a faff before when you had to use the phone to make a sample https://artiphon.com

I wired mine balance and tone, as I never use a volume control on a bass.

That’s the one. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gator-ICON-Series-Bag-For-Electric-Guitars-Black/5DL2?utm_campaign=surfaces_across_google&srsltid=AfmBOopoEdajiUxZtPS1y_GB_-sgCdbtrd3QfFfoZhMl0F1FvP_T6zlFCQM It has a useful assortment of handles, particularly the horizontal one above the accessory pocket) and decent straps. Pretty sure it has a rain cover too.

Same. Great video. I think mine appears once or twice? Definitely a 'well kept secret' in comparison to other top end brands.

No probs, here’s a pic of the Gator if it helps. I went to Gear4music and tried it in person, they were very helpful

Fender FBSS610 is a great light weight gig bag if you’re wearing it or basically putting it in the car. Really dense and fairly thick padding, but light and thin construction. For more protection I love the Gator Icon (guitar) case. I posted about it here somewhere. Fits my Mustang perfectly with plenty of space around the tuners, unlike some other guitar bags.

Yeah, sometimes that helps if I do it a few times.

Yeah I wouldn’t have minded being able to angle the receiver but I can work around it. I got mine for £50 🤩

I’ve got a Boss WL20 which sounds good and battery life is fine but for some reason (probably the band?) it cuts out a fair bit in our practice studio. I have just bought a 5.8ghz Joyo system that @Happy Jack linked to. Got a ‘used like new’ on Amazon and used some gift voucher balance. Will be interesting to try it. The Boss didn't introduce any noise but it did change the treble sound of my bass slightly when I really listen - obviously fine for gigs though. As I use a Backbeat then the transmitter sits in the unit on my strap, out of the way. The receiver will stick out of my pedalboard a bit but I might get a right angle cable to move it away from the edge of the board where I’m paranoid that someone will step on it!

https://warmaudio.com/pedal76 Has anyone seen this yet? WA gear seems pretty good to me (previously had the phaser, have the passive DI) I am not in the market for a comp since I love my Spectracomp but thought this may be of interest to those of a Cali76 persuasion. Cheers

Hi there, I think there was some confusion as the OP posted the same ad three times, so the intention was probably to hide two of them, but maybe different mods hid different threads at the same time! In any case I have restored the one with replies, which is here https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/503031-mark-ramsey-design-neutrino/ Cheers

If you want a more P bass sound then the Degenerate is a good choice, as one coil is hotter than the other. It sounds a lot like the P bass mode on the G&L L2000. You can also tap the pickup so it sounds like a single coil.
