Nuffink mate! No pics, no news. No idea!

To turn the discussion round a bit, I really do think that some songs benefit from being able to get below the low E of a four string.(Whether they were originally written that way or not). Especially the case when you have a keyboard player in the band. - Hell... there are plenty of covers I play where I head well below B ;o)

That my friend is absolutely stunning and gorgeous!!!! I love it!!!!! Honestly, that finish with the birdseye neck makes me drool!

Infact, I think I'm going to have to fill the rest of this sentence with yet more '!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s


yeah!

OOooh! I remember these from when this ere forum was known as BassWorld. There are a lot more people who have had to 'deal' with former owner and cab builder from said company. As I understand it, the cabs themselves weren't bad.. they have good drivers in after all. However, it has been suggested that the guy who owned the company was a little less than honest and walked off with a good few customer's money. I understand they never got to see their purchases either.

I've only briefly read your post, so I may have the wrong end of the stick.. but you do know you can force the effects loop to stereo? ;o)

[quote name='ruztiwarren' post='274565' date='Sep 1 2008, 02:38 PM']And another thing..... Why is it on YouTube, even if it's a ten second second clip of a five year girl "playing" her dad's (or mom's) bass in the living room, someone feels compelled to mention she's not as good as Flea/Claypool (insert name), at which point it's statutory for some other critic to mention the name Wooten. Said name will then spark a strongly worded bitch fight for several pages, culminating in speculation about each others sexuality and mother's profession. This tends to be regardless of whatever level, style, gender or age of the bass player's clip. I'm gonna find a Wooten clip and write I bet Wooten could s**t all over this guy (which is probably true).[/quote]


abso-f*ckin-lutely!!! Remind me to never enable the ability to post comments on any video I ever post on you tube.

I've had a look at this 'ere amp in the past.. it sure is a beast. What I can remember is that the two poweramp modules are wired in parallel mono operation and, as suggested are rated at 600W each at a given impedance.

Hey Bill! nah, I couldn't get the pages to open either.

No, it's okie... I'll let ya off this time! Don't let it happen again, or I'll make you stand at the back of the class ;o)

I know that the For Sale section doesnt get a great deal of EUB stuff in, so I see you point there mate!

Catch ya later Si.

Bit cheeky posting and bumping a thread to your own for sale post young man ;o)

Ohhh there's some really good ones in here!! I agree with the Fender thing a bit.. and it did actually take a while to get used to the MarkBass colour scheme I have to admit! Though my F1 is so small, it doesnt really get noticed.. Most people ask *where* my amp is!!

Heh heh.. Alex, I also agree with you about people who use the words 'cold', 'sterile' etc to describe sounds. (Yeah, I know I was guilty in the past!!)

Ok.. here's mine.. and I am sure I'll get a bashing. 'VALVE TONE' and valves. - Now I am NOT saying these are bad.. but I AM saying, for bass they are grossly over rated! Especially when manufacturers feel the need to levy some sort of 'boutique tax' just because the product has li'l glass tubes in. It seems to me that people feel that they HAVE to have valves in their gear to sound better. What a load of tosh!

I was feeling a bit flush and bought a full uber-monster Pearl Roadster drum throne for practice. I like it, as I can fold it up and take with me to rehearsals, but it is sturdy enough to use as an office/studio stool as well. It has an adjustable back support too. The seat is designed especially for different drumming techiniques (double pedal etc) so can be adjusted for seating comfort. This seems to work well for my practicing too as I can find a sweet spot for playing. I guess that needs a bit more explaining! - Basically, my strap height is such that when I stand up from a seated position, the bass is in exactly the same position. So A stool that gives me the correct support is perfect!

One of my all time fave bass solos, for making me smile and dance, was actually more of a 'bass and drums' solo by Jerry Best and Johnny Haro, from when they were playing in a band called 'Freak Of Nature'.

Halfway through the set, they would get introduced as 'the rhythm section'.. the rest of the band would nip off stage whilst they did a medley of famous basslines.

Maybe you guys could do the same?

Obviously you would need to pick songs that suit your set, but I would go for 'Good Times' by Chic.. 'Another One Bites The Dust' or 'Dragon Attack' by Queen.. maybe 'Moby Dick' by Led Zeppellin - I've played Rage Against The Machine and Muse lines in sections... and a bit of Cyprus Hill even!! 'Insane in the brain!!!' gets everyone dancing! ummm... what else? - Hmmm.. don't play any White Stripes!! :oD

LOVE the headstock! I have always preferred headstocks that were glossy if coloured black, but with the text, yours looks really clean,understated and classy!

Cool! Had a quick listen to get some ideas.. I'm leaning towards the 'in built ' tone of the Ampeg to go with your Sansamp for a bit of bite!

yep.. I'll do it now for you chap! No problemo!

I have a long running love affair with the Hartke 4.5XL as many a BCer will know! Absolutely brilliant!! - I also agree with Ped's first comments about your list of cabs.

Tell us what sort of music you are playing /styles etc as it may give us an indication as to what may be best for you. Do you like a dirty distorted sound? or a clear HiFi sound, for example?

[quote name='cheddatom' post='272359' date='Aug 29 2008, 10:59 AM']I think if you took a DI before the amp using a complicated effects set up, then having an SVT on stage to monitor would be a bit silly! Maybe not if it's mic'd up though.[/quote]

Oh yeah, for me totally! reverbs and stereo delays sound god awful through Ampeg cabs! - However, I think distortion etc can sound good through Ampeg cabs.. maybe its the top end roll off that gives them that nice character for a bit of drive. As you have said though, if I had to mike the cab.. it would make my idea of my set up pretty redundant, as the idea is to not have to do that.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='272359' date='Aug 29 2008, 10:59 AM']I always struggled with this - no-one liked my DI from the Peavey combo 'cos it's noisey, no-one liked the DI from my pedal board because it needed a lot of top rolled off, and some bass boost etc, basically what I was doing witht he EQ on the combo. The only way to get a good sound through the PA was to take a DI from the amp, roll all the high end off to get rid of the noise, and then mic my guitar combo for the top end. It's a shame some engineers are not that obliging![/quote]

Which has pretty much hit the nail on the head with my decision for my set up... Engineers sometimes don't have the time or inclination to sort out the signal coming from the DI outputs, so to the best of my ability, I am trying to provide them with a signal that is as close to what they need as possible.. (and still maintain control over my sound , ultimately.)

Or ask Dood.[/quote]


Yep, Have a chat with the lovely peeps at Etymotic Research. They have adaptors available that allow certain models of their in-ears to plug into the moulds. I'm afraid I can't remember which ones do now. The filter just pops out and the in-ears plug in. in place.
I got a free cable tidy thingy sent through too!

Rest In Peace fellow keeper of the low end. Really sad news indeed. My thoughts go out to your friends and family, WigFinderGeneral.

Oh yeah! I seem to remember one of the guys from Guitarist Magazine used to do all his demos for the mag on a base model Pacifica and it sounded great!

All I used to get at school! - I didnt realise that back then I had a very embarassing Ralph Macchio 'Karate Kid' hair cut.

I can't believe I have just shared that.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='271828' date='Aug 28 2008, 03:09 PM']Doesn't hi-fi = flat? Or does it mean mid-scooped?

I was thinking that if your DI sound is eaxactly how you want it, then you would need a flat rig to re-create that for monitoring....

As opposed to my rig which I have to DI post amp Pre and EQ.[/quote]


Yeah, I see Hifi as 'tailored'.. usually meaning some sort of EQ'd curve to the sound, like a scoop, but not having a 'voice' of it's own.. for example Ampeg cabs always sound like Ampeg cabs to me.

You are absolutely correct. In *my* case I want my backline to sound exactly like my DI output. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying when you said that my rig *would* require a flat response backline. - In order to get things sounding the way *I* want then the answer is more or less yes, however, it isn't a requirement for everyone, hence my comment about having an SVT that could indeed add to, or enhance the tone that the user wanted or preferred.
