Happy Jack

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1453325400' post='2958546'] It's a lot less work and expense to simply tilt your cab back so you can hear the mids and highs. [/quote] I know, Bill, I know. But that's like telling me I only need one bass.

[quote name='gillento' timestamp='1453286164' post='2958029'] So which ones do you prefer? [/quote] Well he's had nearly five years in which to reach a conclusion ...

Of those three I've only had the MB200. Remarkably capable for such a tiny thing, and extremely practical. No problems at all that I can recall, but I prefer more headroom to be available and I only carried it as a back-up in case my OTB500 ever died at a gig. The MB500 is a better bet IMHO. When, some years later, I looked again at this amp zone, I preferred the Aguilar TH350. The range of tones available seems to suit my playing/ears rather better.

Can you help mate? I get a buzzing noise when I plug in ... any idea what it could be?

Bit tricky to replicate the fire hoses in a pub band though ...

Agreed - but that YouTube clip is now a while back and the product has yet to be launched properly. There's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip ...

Really liking that field.

Pah! Call yerselves punk?

Every little thing he does is Sledgehammer.

When's yer first gig then?

Are you having a feast?

Becoming progressively more amused at the number of people advocating various forms of physical aggression or bodily intrusion, despite having been told that the drummer in question was a PT Instructor in the armed forces. We seem to have some very serious keyboard warriors here ...

I'm a real whore for PJB kit, and I love the look of this. I already use a mic-stand-mounted vocal monitor which will take a Line In feed from my electric bass rig if I wish to add that (a WPM-1 since you ask), but this would be a very cool addition to my DB rig. As with all PJB stuff it ain't cheap, but I'd be willing to bet that it's bloody high-quality and very effective.

Ah yes, the famous Custom Shop Jazz, also known as the [i][b]Cornish Precision[/b][/i].

In that case, you may recognise some of these: http://www.historypin.org/en/national-brewery-heritage-trust-s-collection/geo/51.371825,-0.348031,12/bounds/51.279251,-0.452229,51.464213,-0.243832

The anger fades away soon enough. It was always going to get marked sooner or later, and if you and that drummer work well together musically it's certainly not worth wrecking that relationship. We live in an age where people pay extra to buy their instruments pre-ruined ...

There's a Grateful Dead quote just waiting to emerge ...

Kinsman guitar stool. Completely stable, takes any type of bass, and you can sit down during drum solos.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1452866606' post='2954237'] [color=#000000]Hey I've just come up with a brilliant idea for people who don't like the idea of 'fake festivals' or tribute bands in general. It's a fairly extreme idea and might appear to be pretty left-field, but I'll try it anyway and you can see what you think.[/color] [color=#000000]OK, here goes.[/color] [color=#000000][size=5]If you don't like the idea of a 'fake festival' or a tribute band gig...[/size][/color] [color=#000000](and here comes the clever bit)[/color] [color=#000000] [/color] [color=#000000][i][size=5]...don't go to one.[/size][/i][/color] [color=#000000]Pretty radical stuff I know, but I reckon it could work.[/color] [/quote] [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1452866718' post='2954241'] They could also - and I appreciate this is a radical concept - arrange their own festival, only featuring bands that play original material. [/quote] Hey, I'm loving these ideas, can I make a contribution? How about, they could even be like really, really sarcastic in a sardonic, highly-superior sort of way. Sarcasm is good. We need more sarcasm. Smileys are good, too. Hey, it's ALL good.

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1452855873' post='2954077'] So using multiple identical (or non-identical) drivers across the entire bass guitar frequency range is not an ideal solution in theory, even though it appears to work reasonably well in practice. [/quote] Sounds to me like the theory needs re-visiting then.

You're not going to let me forget that, are you?

BMU? ¿Qué?

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1452780343' post='2953420'] Frankly Jack, I think your attitude stinks, I would have paid good money to see you in that band [/quote]

The worst buzz I ever had from a rack system was one of the butterfly catches vibrating at certain frequencies. That also stopped when I moved the rack. Just saying ...

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1452779384' post='2953403'] IME the only effort that manufacturers make to have their cabs designed to work together is making sure that the stacking corners fit together. [/quote] Not that this is a bad idea, of course.
