    [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1343135849' post='1745825'] One of my favourites like this is the Boss MT-2, it makes an absolutely LOVELY Fuzz. Liam [/quote] I've just taken delivery of one today! I can see it being very useful blended with a clean tone.

    [quote name='peted' timestamp='1343153748' post='1746259'] I use an X3 Live into a W-Audio 1U digital power amp and it's a great setup that at the moment I set and forget, but if my tastes change in future I've got an arsenal of amps and sounds to choose from. Definitely recommended. [/quote] My tastes seem to change on a regular basis... Oh deary me, why did i get rid of my X3 lol!

    Yup, bin the presets annnnnnd make sure that you had the unit set up for running in to a power amp. There's a setting in one of the utility menus to specify what you are connecting the POD too, which changes all the amp sims to suit. Infact, I'd go as far as to say spend some time with the manual. It's actually pretty helpful because there's a lot of things going on under the bonnet lol! I have used a Bass Pod Pro and also the X3 for a number of years running straight in to a power amp too. Set up properly, it can sound great. Set up badly and it can sound muffled and indistinct!

    Oh dear! It seems whilst stowed in my cupboard safe n' sound my moggy has been using one edge as a scratching post. It's not pretty and therefore I am knocking another tenner off the price. I may give it a day or so and withdraw the cab.

    I would most definitely have said yes if that day was free in my diary!!

    Stupid cabs

    Dood replied to ashevans09's topic in Amps and Cabs

    [quote name='Jack' timestamp='1343001135' post='1743774'] The Tecamp Bad Cab. 2 tweeters, 4 tens, 2 twelves and 2 fifteens. 2400W power handling but if that's not enough it's available as a special order in 8ohms, so you can use 2 with most amps. Edited: forgot about the tweeters. [/quote] I actually think this cabinet is wonderful! - I mean it's the height of OTT! I know that the techies amongst us have a field day over the common-all-garden 4x10 and it's vertically aligned drivers - but this? Ahhhhhh it's enough to make their heads explode with frustration. This is a beast that wasn't designed with phase alignment in mind, rather levelling houses and I bet it sounds awesome!

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1343072211' post='1744870'] Interested in your opinions- you tried the Puma 1000 or 500 (or I guess 900 now) what you think of them? [/quote] Sadly and it pains me, i've not had an opportunity to try out any of the Pumas myself, so I'm unable to answer! I understand that models *did* and maybe still do? Use Powersoft amp modules. I've owned a Powersoft power amplifier and it was fantastic. I'm not sure what it is that makes an amplifier deliver that weight or girth in sound. The ability to deliver high current? Driving a speaker with balls? Not sure, but the powersoft delivered lots of weighty punch. I wonder if the Puma does the same?

    New Zoom B3

    Dood replied to dannybuoy's topic in Effects

    Has anyone asked already about how will the octave tracks? how far down can I get a -1 octave? E string? D or below?

    I'm a fan of singlecuts! Here's my beautiful Shuker 7 string tuned to low F#. The last few days had me thinking of selling it, but thankfully after a moment of complete stupidity I came to my senses as Jon and I designed it together. It's a very special instrument.

    Hey mate! Thank you! It's so damn good I'm tempted to keep it, though downsizing to another in the XL range maybe appropriate. I really am gonna miss the ability of the cabinet though. More about the cabinet: The huge port as well as the midrange unit gives this monster the deepest lows and a great and very smooth top end. I do have a real hard time getting on with rubbish tweeters thrown in to bog standard cabinets! The 5" unit covers the sparkly top end of a tweeter but reaches down to meet the top end of the punchy 10"s. Something many tweeters fail to achieve if the woofer's high frequency roll off can't get up to the tweeter's low frequency roll off, leaving you with a gap in the response curve. That aside, these cabs rock a low B... Annnd a Low F#! and for 180 quid, it's gotta be worth it
  12. Dood
    Had to check out some clips of the jackhammer after seeing that response curve. Wow, sounds great on bass!

    New Zoom B3

    Dood replied to dannybuoy's topic in Effects

    Think I'm gonna try a B3. Anyone thinking about selling?
  15. Dood
    Oh dear! I've not had any freezes yet!
  16. Dood
    Thank you! You could say it's tried and tested from experience!

    [quote name='silddx' timestamp='1342962718' post='1743170'] Don't underestimate how difficult and stressful it can be, even for established artists. [/quote] This x100. I feel very fortunate and lucky to be able to have my bass earn my living for me. It's bloody hard and you should treat every day like you're setting up your business for the first time. But the rewards are worth it. I'd say for anyone wanting to go down this route, do not place all your eggs in one basket. Use your talents and skills to form multiple streams of income so when one dries up (which it most definitely will) you have something else to fall back on whilst you fill that gap.

    I'll be keeping the wheels i think! (unless i get an offer for the full price
  20. Dood
    Al is a top guy and looking at the reviews for these cabs, they'd be a real winner! Good luck with the sale mate!
  21. Dood
    Thank you! I'd love to sell this bad boy soon if i can, as i have my eyes on some new toys!

    Pm'ing

    It was always suggested to me that I should hang them as high as possible on the wall with those clamping hangers to keep them out of the way. You'll be fine putting the basses on normal floor stands as usual though

    Big fan of Korg right here too! Nothing but help when it came to replacing my ailing Korg X3! I now have a wonderful limited edition bright yellow M50 for all my synthy noises! A very good mate of mine has a full piano weighted Kronos! Wow!! Off topic, But had to share! Well done Korg!!

    Probably best in the 'other items for sale' forum, so will move it there for you now.
