    Ok, so in addition to my earlier post saying I want to learn where all the notes are - I can highly suggest that you get in a band with someone who is brilliant on piano. We've been learning cover songs, doing weird adaptations of songs by tenacious d, lil jon and the eastside boys, xzibit etc into female fronted rock ballads! She's been helping me find all the notes but writing down everything in notes for me to follow so now I automatically learn all the notes on the neck as I learn more and more songs. A very organic and fun way of learning.

    Are you sending it post or pre EQ? What sounds good through the Pre stage once its through the speaker might sound great, but be an awful feed to work with as a sound guy.

    I'll definitely take the pedal daisy chain adaptor. I'll PM you now.

    If I hadn't just packed my cab in the car for a long journey i'd post it up. Its torn, shredded and battered. Its got cat claw marks down the side of it. It looks amazing. It was sold to me as some early trace elliot beast, 2x15" speakers and sounds great. I'll post some when I unpack it on weds The most totally ruined item i've ever seen however is this orange cab...

    Greetings from a student in Lincoln about to begin my 3rd year of a film course. Very fun city, a nice blend of student madness, ye olde worlde heritage and a fairly happening underground music scene. Don't suppose you've heard of the Jolly Brewer pub which hosts a brilliant open mic night?

    Sorry that I can't directly help, but i'll certainly agree that jamming with people is definitely a great idea. Do you have any guitarist friends that are any good? I'm only a relative newbie to bass as well, although i've done drumming for years. My drumming came on loads as soon as I started playing with people (was gigging before the end of my first year of playing) and one of my best mates is a guitarist who is very accomodating when it comes to helping me lay down basslines to his guitar lines.

    Selling a few more bits and bobs off to raise GAS money. First up is a lexicon mpx100 multieffects unit. Has some VERY nice chorus and delays useful for bass guitar, as well as being a brilliant reverb unit for vocals, guitars or drum busses if recording. Is a mono or stereo switchable unit, has an optical out (my primary reason of using it was to give me an extra 2 channels on my recording setup using SPDIF in, its bypass is footswitchable (no footswitch included) and has full midi in/out/thru channels so you can control the whole thing with a controller or footboard. Wanting £60 for it posted. I don't have the original box but it would be packed very carefully. Citronic 31 band graphic EQ. Very simple single channel (mono) graphic eq, can cut boost +12 to -12. Has a bypass mode but is unfortunately not footswitchable. I used it in a rack of bass equipment to fine tune a tone - forget your built in 7 or 12 band eq, this lets you dial in any conceivable setting over 31 bands! Also used it when tracking vocals in recording sessions, fine tune a voice and track it sounding perfectly EQ'd. After £50 for it posted. I'll get pics up asap. Ben.

    Might well be useful... [url="http://forum.orangeamps.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4538&SearchTerms=orange,crush,speaker,external"]http://forum.orangeamps.com/topic.asp?TOPI...peaker,external[/url] In short - the amp kicks out 35w at 4ohms. The built in speaker is 4ohm. The unknown is if it automatically breaks the link to the internal speaker. If it doesnt, and you hook up a 4ohm extension cab to it, the amp will see 2ohms and become quite unhappy. What are you trying to achieve by driving an extension cab? As really 35w of bass really isn't going to be too loud whatever speaker you use is it?

    Drumming at gigs I made a point of always tying my pink fluffy hippo mascot on top of the kick drum - even if I was using someone elses kit. When I start gigging my new band where I play bass i'll be having my soft toy tortoise on top of my stack. Its just something i've always done with both instruments since the beginning...

    Is there a decent website that explains where the notes are for standard tuning on a 4 string? Would be very handy as a reference, and saves me from having to buy a basic bass book...
  11. bennifer
    Its totally different with it being an all valve head anyway. For example, a 15w Orange Tiny Terror guitar amp totally screams through a 4x10 and is fine for live on stage stuff. A 15w solid state guitar amp however would only be useful for quiet bedroom practise. What impedance is the 200w ashdown cab you're using? and at what impedance does the head kick out 50 valve watts at? Something like a 300-400w cab would be my guess - any chance you can take the head into a well stocked bass shop and try some cabs?

    SS73 - that setup actually sounds pretty good on my AH200 gp7 head. Cheers!

    Looking to get myself my first effects setup. Figured i'd try out the Zoom unit seeing everyone is raving about them so much. Having looked into it theres a few different versions, a £100 odd one, the u, and a £40 odd one, just the plain b2.1. Whats the real world difference? I don't need a USB interface or a volume pedal - just want to experiment with a bit of amp modelling tones, overdrive, compression, delay and of course have a tuner. Is there any reason to go for the more expensive one or will the cheapy do all of those things at the same kind of quality? Cheers! (Edit - ok, im even more confused, theres the b1 which is £40, the b2 which is £60 and the b2.1u whch is £100 odd - which ones would do me proud?)
  14. bennifer
    I'm after just £60 for this now including postage within the UK. Also interested in trades for any pedals - bass overdrive/distortion or delay, maybe one of those Zoom multieffects bass. Cheers, Ben.

    I would also very much like to hear a recording of the ODB3 on its own with a few different settings - been considering one for a while but have had no chance to get into a shop to try it out!

    Bear in mind that there's very little point booking out a practise room and fiddling with the sound on your own. As soon as you get in a full band situation there'll be drums and guitars competing with the frequency spectrum and that previously immense tone will get muddied up with sounds from the other instruments. If you want a cutting yet deep bass tone to play with your band, you need to develop that while playing with your band.

    You know those cool circle ones with a brand name you see in music shops? My local does the Fender logo'd circle top ones for £30 I think - ask your local shop about it!
  18. bennifer
    Aw man, that would be such a handy bass for me to get - the perfect cheap and classy looking introduction to 5 string! I'll see what I can do... Me wants.
  19. bennifer
    I would laugh quite hard if I found out the shop was using dodgy cables, or plugging things in at the wrong impedance. Can't imagine why a head would just randomly blow unless it got damaged in transit or something :s

    Theres one of those on ebay at the moment. Looks very oldschool! Not sure I quite understand it... is the 15 at the bottom facing out the back of the cab?
  21. bennifer
    Nobody fancies this at £50? Last price drop as i'll just keep it otherwise!
  22. bennifer
    Guess its something coming soon! They've added a software section to their products page ready for it, but its currently empty. Should be an interesting contender to AmpegSVX, which it'll have a hard job beating, but if they manage that - brilliant!
  23. bennifer
    Yeah its a pretty cool little bit of kit and I know what you mean, why did you get rid of the Mackie? Im only getting rid of this to move up to something like that! If it doesn't go by auction on ebay i'll speak to you about your offer! Cheers!
  24. bennifer
    Now on ebay, starting at a reduced £65...

    Or my fav that doesn't permanently mark - blu tak for one set, white tak for the other! Little dab showing where the dial is meant to be at.
