Back to subs again. After the last discussion I had here about these I had decided to get an Alto 312s for the band as it was easy enough to store/transport and cheap. That was march. Obviously nothing happened as the world ended. Now it looks like at some point maybe the world will unend and I am thinking of subs again. . I also now have an estate car thanks to bad parking of other people. Although still interested in the 312s (to go with my 2xTS212s) I can get a behringer B1500xp for a lot less money but more size and storage issues. So I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts / experience on this, I know the behringers and the altos are looked down on and there are better things, but that is where I am interested. Just for clarification, the option here is a powered sub up to the beginning of the £300 or nothing (and note the behringer is a lot less than this). I know I can probably get great quality by spending many hundreds or thousands on RCF or Yamaha or QSC, but its not going to happen, although obviously if any of those are available in the sub £300 range I am interested in hearing about them.

I have but many many years ago, when I wasn't really very good (I was a keyboard playing playing bass as noone else would) and I hadn't been playing for a while. But not in the last 20 years. I have been in a couple of groups where I was a better guitarist than the guitarist though and been a keyboard player in a group where the guitarist was a better keyboard player than me. But I think I hold the bass together nicely now!

Yeh, the singer was in the wrong. He should have thrown it out 7 years ago!

I wouldn't unless you really want the all in one or the specific sounds of the Taurus

The pictures I have are a bit rubbish! the 12 step connects with a right angled usb (because there is little space) long lead up my microphone stand to an iPad via the iPad camera connector. Korg iM1 is finning on my iPad (and the behringer x-air for the Mixer and a lyric app). Then the audio out connects via a really long jack to 2 mono jacks to the mixer. i used to use an app called chord ion for chords but the 12 step is good for that, and also sends a program change when changing preset which picks a program on the iM1

Isn't this part of the HF rejection circut? http://www.valvewizard.co.uk/gridstopper.html

Pah defeatist - where we we be If we all stopped for such a flimsy excuse!

Well, that is a negative way of looking at it. The other way is 'oh look, I have so much space for more things!'

That seems interesting. Seems like something to explore later!

I thought 'ooh thats a bargain' before I realised I have absolutely no need for something like that!

OK, it applies to piece of music too. I was using song as a piece of music. I wish I couldn't recognise the original. That is about my biggest hate of the last few years, some dreary whispy woman singing some song with all the emotion stripped out.

Probably explains why I was almost run over when crossing the road by a jaguar the day before yesterday! Yeh, but they are drummers and we don't care about them. Because that is the crux of the song. You can play around with the sounds and even to an extent the rythmn, and you can still have the same song. You can often find completely different versions of the same song by the same artist done with different instruments and rythmns. Also, often the person writing the song just has a guitar or a piano, doesn't mean the final track will be like that

I have the NP5, which is the 5 string version of the P pickup on my maruschyk. It brightened up the sound greatly over the pre-existing (Haeussel) pickups. made it sparkle a bit more, which I couldn't do with a string change.

If I am playing out loud upstairs I use my Bose s1, which is great. If I am outloud downstairs I use my Spark, and if I am quiet then I use the spark with headphones, or if the ipad is out, headphones with the jamhub. Most of the time it is the Bose

Very interesting. Need one day to get something like that and add individual buffers to it, see what comes out.

Ooh - that is an interesting pickup. Would like to get one of those and individual buffer it. That would be pretty epic. Mind you, a bit expensive!

OK, that makes no sense. I assumed they were individually buffered. Well that removes the only bit of interest I had in them. See the first time I was actually 'blown away' by a sound was the hexafuzzz on the original Roland Guitar Synths like the GR300 (was that the blue one)? Where the sound from each string was taken, buffered, distorted and then put together, it got rid of a lot of 'noise' and gave it an amazing sound. So I always wanted to do a separate string buffer pickup on a bass, but unfortunately I am just incredibly lazy so I haven't had a chance to do it yet. Can't see any point at all. What are these pickups you spoke of?

That I can see from doing neural network training. When a network is made it is completely open and capable of anything, after a while of training, it is not capable of learning some things because those neurons have been used for something else. This wasn't relating to the OPs point, this is from additional conversations where the topic has drifted, sorry. Thats fine, not trying to convince anyone! Just seems reasonable to me. I have met very few people with perfect pitch, but many people that claim to have it. BUt that has nothing to do with the OP, as I said.

They were asking for the location. But good point to mention to @scrumpymike that it needs updating

It has to be there from birth / young

Both times were at a gig but obviously the pedalboard is going on quite some time before we start to check everything is ok.

I have had a couple of times when I have turned my HXFX on and it has said 'firmware failure', so I turned it off and back on and it was fine. But it has never failed when running.

Not sure what you mean with those buttons (google has nothing like that for me), but if I touch the search bar of my safari on the iPad, it has a popup of frequent and bookmarked sites and it is in there.
