You could of course got two more of the 15s and have a 4x15

Yep, it would be for me too, but there are plenty of other great party songs to do.

While I agree with the oasis comments, I also have the same issues getting upbeat songs in, or at the moment, any songs! It seems to take forever, I am not sure why most songs cant be done in a week, or maybe two if it is a really tricky one.

A decent hifi with very small speakers! Thats impressive, I took a Phil Jones bass BG75 and you really couldn't hear it above the drums, it was pretty well useless for that. I am guessing in a cafe with a cajon it would be fine so that people could sit at their tables and still talk to each other. I would say however, when I am practicing I tend to just use a bam 200 into a 10" gnome speaker, which is about 100W - flat out but it does punch through fine. I use the same live, but most of the bass is in the PA, and speaker is just for the rest of the band who don't wear IEMs to hear.

I hadn't seen that one. I have a positive grid spark that I just have next to my chair for playing around with - obviously not great on bass but good enough for my living room. I know some people on here had problems with the spark cab and ended up sending that one back, so it would be interesting to see how that one pans out Hmm.. I would call it a bold move calling 150w amp with 2 6.5" speakers a PA, but still interesting.

From what I see the age requirements are only to avoid seeing age appropriate things in your 'feed' and checks to ensure no access to adult only content. Basschat has no algorithms to give you any 'feed' - that is obviously based on facebook / twitter style feeds, and we have never had adult only sections, apart from maybe the sections on P basses in sunburst and tort that you have to be at least 70 to have an interest in

Take all their hamsters!

Yep, thats good, but the same guy who impersonated you impersonated someone else this morning, so still out there.

Yes, the CT200 is fine. I got it to do speakons, but frankly, I haven't really had an issue with that so that one stays at home. I find the CT200 requires you to think about what you are seeing, it isn't as instant so the CT100 is the one that travels everywhere.

Any idea why the VIP is €50 more than the normal case?

When I ran my alto 12s I had a behringer sub 12 that I took along to mainly outdoor events, and it certainly added something. Not saying it was brilliant, but it was better with it than without it and anything heavier than it would not have been brought, so it worked fine. I mean mostly it was just kick drum in it but it certainly projected, and obviously anything in that was not in the other speakers so I think it helped. I haven't used it since getting the Evox 8, but I might do again this summer for some events

I use songbook pro, you can search in the app or copy things across from a computer

I had a notification from bandmix in the 'someone looking at your profile', so I looked them up (I have a free account, can't send messages) and they were looking for a bass player. This year with my current band we have managed 1 or 2 practices as the guitarist always has some reason to cancel, and only a few gigs, also a little bored that it takes us an age to learn the simplest of things, so though I would look for a side project, so I looked up this band and found them advertising on JMB. Contacted them and agreed to meet up this thursday (actually last thursday but that was cancelled as there was a legit emergency for someone). Met up at a village hall. A very different way of practicing than I am used to, all have microphones and stereo in ears, no amplifiers at all, all though the mixer, the sound was great. 2 guitarists, drummer wasn't there (played along to the drum recordings), singer. Went through a whole host of songs that I have mostly not played before, heavier stuff with some muse etc thrown in, really enjoyable leaning 10 new songs in a couple of weeks and getting them down not too bad, they seemed happy anyway and asked me back. Going to go back and see how things work out with it - maybe just playing around and getting set lists ready for the moment, but nice to have a break and completely different styles of music to play. The in ear thing made stuff so good as did only having to turn up with a bass and the Boss me90b

Lots of metal songs, started playing with another band so several linkin park songs, audioslave, Muse, Slipnot, Metallica etc.

Yep, for other peoples reference, also available at proper shops too!

Like this in fact - although I dont' know why he connects the mini jack with an adapter as you can connect any out to any in and it will work fine

Absolutely, it shows you what is there. So unlike the more complicated and fussy CT200, the CT100 just has a grid of 3 leds that shows you what is connected to where, and 3 showing intermittant. So if you connect a TRS to TRS lead it will show you a straight line, pin1-pin1, pin2-pin2 etc. If you plug in a TS to TS it will show you 1-3 to 1-3, 2-2, so you can see it is fine. Also when you plug something in, then you shake the lead and if the lights flicker (something loose) it will show on the intermittant line. It is basically so dumb it is faultless and fast. Also you can do TRS-TS, Jack to XLR, 1/8" to ¼", Midi - Midi, Phono etc. And you can also send an audio signal down the cable if you want to check where it is wired to, which has helped me a couple of times with 10M PA cables

Absolutely nothing

Some of the models were very limited edition, especially the GVB36, I only ever saw two and I bought one. I did spend quite a while trying to get the original SR5. My SR1605 - the original one, had a very short run probably because it is too light, and now there is another 1605 which is different (which makes model numbering odd). But some models, such as the prestiges aren't so hard to find, so I guess eventually they will be around for a while

One of those issues that I am sure can be fixed by using a Behringer CT100, my most valuable item of gigging equipment!

Well, bad news for me, even if I am not pissed off!

Is that what they call hearing aids these days?

If i was Gear 4 Music, I would sue them!

I have nothing to add for the discussion other than to say when I first read the title it scanned in my head as 'Budget for a sub-par band', and I wondered why anyone would ask that! Sorry, as you were.

you know how it is with ibanez, wait to get one second hand and it will be less than half the price
