(Am I the only person on this forum that actually [i]likes[/i] Laney gear?)[/quote] Thought that would be the case, but thought I'd get more knowledgable eyes on it, so thanks and no, I love laney gear too Ah well.. onto for sale it goes! lol

[quote name='Moos3h' post='792223' date='Mar 31 2010, 05:53 PM']I do believe that's a shot from the Notting Hill Carnival and that sound system or one similar is often located on the side of where I used to live during Carnival weekend. I can feel the headache just looking at that pic![/quote] It looks legendary.. I want it

[quote name='Marvin' post='792218' date='Mar 31 2010, 05:49 PM']Oh, I think I've got the wrong end of the stick [/quote] I'll let you off because you're a cutie if your pic is anything to go by

Yesterday I sent off the registration form for my first RGT grade exam! Taking Grade 4 this summer (June/July). EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

I'd be amazed if tuning down a semitone would have that much effect, but maybe some higher gauge strings would help?

Evenin' I'm getting a new head and cab, upgrading my existing Laney RBW300. However, I'm getting the head first as I've yet to decide on a cab. My question is, how would I go about bypassing the inbuilt laney amp in the combo, and using the new head with the 1x15 speaker? Is this possible? If so, what cables do I need. If it's not possible then I'll either be part exing the amp or just whacking it on the for sale/trade board on here. It's served me well but it's time to upgrade Here's some pics of the front and back inputs, which I wasn't sure of when I posted the question in my 'opinions...' thread.. Any help appreciated as always, you guys awesome I love you aaaall. mwah Having looked at the inputs I'm not hopeful it's actually possible.. but alas..

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='792151' date='Mar 31 2010, 04:58 PM'] These are the cabs you're looking for ...[/quote] Now that's what I'm talking about

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='792143' date='Mar 31 2010, 04:49 PM']+1 They're talking absolute rubbish. How many pro players use 10s or 12s in their rig? Avoid that shop like the plague. Chances are the "assistant" is just a guitarist who thinks bigger speaker=more bass (just like bass players do until they do a bit of research).[/quote] The guy was actually helpful but admitted he wasn't the right person to speak to about cabs, he's given me the name of the 'specialist' to speak to. His logic was 'the laws of physics say that bigger speakers are louder, so you want bigger speakers.'

[quote name='martinbass7750' post='792123' date='Mar 31 2010, 04:35 PM']I suggest you try another shop! generally 4x10 make a great sound - plenty of low end but good punch too. Tend to be heavy to move around, I hurt my back lifting a peavey cab out of my car. loads of people like 15" cabs, but from what I've heard they tend to have less mid range punch than a 4x10. Peavey are good value, but not the best around. I've gone 2 seperate 12" cabs just for portability[/quote] hmmm.. I didn't think about getting 2 cabs actually... might be worth looking into so save my poor back!

I currently use a Laney RBW300 165w combo which has served me well for a number of years. Gorgeous sound and has survived living in a house with 2 kids so it must be bomb proof... Would recommend Laney anytime. They're cheap too

Had a mooch round a local guitar shop today for further research and was told that I should be looking at bigger speakers rather than 4x10s etc and promptly got pointed in the direction of a 2x15 £1000 job by peavey it was nearly as tall as me

[quote name='Marvin' post='791483' date='Mar 31 2010, 06:03 AM'][attachment=46073:images.jpeg] One cab madam. [/quote] Bit heavy for me I think.. would never be able to lug that up the stairs

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='791491' date='Mar 31 2010, 07:23 AM']I'll get the kettle on...and start building a creche. [/quote] Now that's customer service

Thanks everyone Looks like I've got the amp sorted Will update once I have it Now to start looking for a cab...

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='790511' date='Mar 30 2010, 12:50 PM']Ah ok, it's essentially the same rhythm but instead of playing the gaps, you're playing the low note. Then instead of the last high note, you're playing the low note. So if it's E and B, it'd be E E B E E E E B E E E E E E E E Then the E changes to G with the same high note. (notes might be wrong, I can't really hear my leccy guitar properly unplugged, but it's something like that)[/quote] you're all stars, thank you

[quote name='yorick' post='790247' date='Mar 30 2010, 08:53 AM']This is a link for the guitar tab, but i think the bass follows it pretty much.... [url="http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/d/dillinger_escape_plan/black_bubblegum_tab.htm"]http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/d/dill...bblegum_tab.htm[/url][/quote] Thanks that'll come in handy

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='790244' date='Mar 30 2010, 08:48 AM']Might be worth investing in a Tascam BT CD trainer, which enables you to slow the tracks down without changing pitch. There's also a very useful looping feature, so you can listen to tricky bits over and over again without rewinding.[/quote] I was using transcribe up until my free trial ran out

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='790118' date='Mar 29 2010, 11:22 PM']Hate to say it, but if you need help with the timing, TAB probably isn't going to help. If you're trying to figure out the intro rhythm, I've just given it a listen and I got this (where you play the bold parts): [b][u]1 2 3[/u][/b] 1 2 [b][u]1 2 3[/u][/b] 1 2 3 4 [b][u]1 2 3 4[/u][/b] or [b][u]1 2 3[/u][/b] 4 1 [b][u]2 3 4[/u][/b] 1 2 3 4 [b][u]1 2 3 4[/u][/b] depending on how you want to count it. I've just worked it without my bass to hand out so I don't know the notes, but there's only a couple. I assume it's that bit you wanted, the rest of the track seems fairly simple rhythmically.[/quote] Thanks, know what you mean about the tab. The trouble is for the intro bit to me it sounded like 123 123 1234 but granted my understanding of timings written down etc isn't great however the bassist plays that through once and then starts playing something constantly, like 16ths or something, presumably along the same timing lines but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I am listening through headphones but my laptop is rubbish for bass!! Far too trebley. Going to burn a CD for the car I think with it on.
