[quote name='Marvin' post='869980' date='Jun 17 2010, 04:11 PM']There are going to be a lot of very disappointed people if it's not real. [/quote] Well it seems like the USA bass players will be disappointed even if it is real. According to the rumours anyway. Munk, This bass is a lot closer to what i want than a Aerodyne will ever be. And for me the real deal isnt readily available and would be way out of my price range if i had ot get one made.

[quote name='fatback' post='869958' date='Jun 17 2010, 03:29 PM']I [i]want [/i] it to be real, therefore it [i]shall[/i] be real [/quote] I do hope so (and im sure it will). I dont really know anything about Jaguars. I know they normally have lots of switches on them (my singer has a guitar version) and i know they normally look ugly to me. But i really cant see any other black/PJ/jazz sized blocked neck basses in this (assumed) price point. what would be ideal was if the neck would fit on my black Ray34. That would be worth getting the Squier for.

[quote name='IK Multimedia' post='869930' date='Jun 17 2010, 02:48 PM']Unfortunately if it was pulled in from the phone, it would be unplayable with the unbearable latency and to directly reencode it was not an available option unfortunately. If advances in the platform allow for it in the future, I'm sure we will.[/quote] I know its way to late but couldnt we have had a folder we could drag and drop mp3s in, rather than having to upload them?. I'm happy to have a load of duplicates that are used exclusively by irig but to limit the list to only 20 isnt going to be ideal. Just an idea. Still going to use it though and im sure it will evolve.

[quote name='bass_ennyday' post='869908' date='Jun 17 2010, 02:19 PM']real![/quote] As they say on Talk Bass, no pic no bass ;-)

Ive never liked the look of the Jaguar range (guitars and bass) but if this turns out to be real im selling my Ray34 to get one. I need blocks on a black bass back in my life lol.

Im no expert but it seems to me that newer amps, and maybe more so digital ones like the F1, need complete boards replaced rather than things being repaired with a bit of solder. Maybe thats why the quote was so high.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='869556' date='Jun 16 2010, 10:59 PM']Just had a bit more of a mess around with it, uploading a couple of songs to it and messing with the demo. I'll be honest, and say I'm a little disappointed. The upload process robs it of the spontaneity, which is a shame but I appreciate that it's probably the only practical way to do it. You're also limited to 20 songs, which really limits it for me as I've quite often got 40+ tunes on the go at any given time. It would even help if you could drag songs across from iTunes on the phone.[/quote] I agree with all this. I was hoping i could sit in the bedroom with my ipod touch loaded will all my bands play list (around 150 songs) and be able to jam along with them. I wouldnt mind if i could drag and drop all the songs to my ipod. Ive not yet tried the upload part and i dont think ill bother just yet. I wonder if drag and drop will be made availible for this. I can drag files to my ipod folders already so cant see why it shouldnt work. I still intend to use it as it will still come in very handy for when im at gigs etc, and i will buy the adaptor, but as a rehearsal tool for at home ill give it a miss.

[quote name='thepurpleblob' post='869395' date='Jun 16 2010, 08:18 PM']I don't know what's wrong with you all. I'm clearly going to stay well away from Hampstead Heath [/quote] Hampstead Heath is a really nice place, its just certain parts have a bit of a funny reputation. Dont forget to go down to the Bass Cellar and make fun of the monkeys.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='869265' date='Jun 16 2010, 05:29 PM']Also... I'm just playing about with it now, and I keep being asked to connect to a network whenever I go to add a song. Can I not just pick a tune from iTunes on my phone and play along with it?[/quote] Yeah, I'm getting this as well. This won't be much use if I have to add songs each time. Maybe the new multitasking of OS 4 will help.

Cool, thanks for posting. I checked out the free version earlier. Im only interested in a bass rig sim so ill probably keep it simple. Dont need stomp boxes. Can you tell me (i know, im lazy) what bass amps are available. am i right that i buy the LE version, then buy the individual amps and cabs through the app? I started using Amplitube 3 last night. Ive sort of given up on Guitar rig for now as it keeps freezing up. EDIT: OK, i can see how to purchase a Bass rig form the free version. Oh, and the demos sound good. well done IKM.

Your not too far away from Camden town. It might be worth checking the pubs and clubs for some live music in that area, especially if you are going to the Gallery. If you have tight speedos, a very unhealthy tan and look buff then you could spend a few hours stretched out on the slab over on Hampstead Heath. No need to swim unless its to make a quick getaway lol.

[quote name='dodgnofski' post='869150' date='Jun 16 2010, 03:31 PM']Thanks Dave, It's just a bit 'worrying' when the only two other Guys I know who own Markbass amps - an LMK & an SA450 have just both sent them away to be fixed!! Ah well - they say bad luck comes in three's !! All the best, Tim[/quote] If it helps post a "who owns MB amps" thread and see how many happy owners pop up. I agree, it can be worrying when you read (or experience) problems like this. It can make you very paranoid. I for one would probably never buy another Ashdown head. Ive had two go wrong (one at a gig). But i do know that 100's of people use them without issues so while i expect i was just unlucky, i feel i would be always worrying about it going worng. Maybe thats just me though. Have you contacted MarkBass yet? They do seem to care about their customers and might be able to help or offer advice.

[quote name='dodgnofski' post='869093' date='Jun 16 2010, 02:45 PM']The reason the post is on twice is because I originally put it in the wrong section, so did it again in which I thought was the right one & where I thought I might get some help. Thanks anyway ![/quote] No harm done. I do hope you get it fixed. I think people might be a bit negative because you only have to do a search on the various bass forums to see just how reliable MB gear is. Of course there are always exceptions but on the whole MB are one of the reliable companies.

[quote name='algmusic' post='868855' date='Jun 16 2010, 11:21 AM']It's the first i've heard of that.. easy.. sounds like just a one off[/quote] As already explained, i was making a joke of the fact that the poster started two threads about the ONE amp. Hence the ;-) at the end of the first line. And as ive also written i have two MB heads that i love and wouldnt dream of getting rid of them (although i think i might sell one soon as i dont use it much). Its all in this thread above ;-)

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='868792' date='Jun 16 2010, 10:08 AM']Yeah two out of how many thousands? You ought to know better than that Dave. My first thought before this turns into a MB witch hunt is... Can we establish a connection between these two amps? Date and whether they have the same fault.[/quote] LOL, the OP has posted this twice so i was just mucking around. As you can see from my sig, i own two MB heads and will never feel the need to replace them. Ive done well over 200 gigs with my SA450 and around 50-60 with the LMII. Other than them getting a bit hot ive not had any issues. Now then, who mentioned Ashdown ;-)

Wow, two of these going down on the same day. Im steering well clear of MB from now on ;-) Good luck getting it sorted.

It all went very smoothly thanks. The only thing that threw me a bit was the earth from the bridge pup was wired to the back of the tone pot. I know it doesn't make a difference as all the earths are connected but ive not seen that before, normally in my basses its been to the relative volume pot. I didnt get to play it much last night but i can tell its got more punch and volume (i also put new strings on) but it does seem to have lost some very top end. I also didn't notice any extra growl but it could be that i need to play a bit more with the EQ so im not worried. It still sounds great. I have two gigs at the weekend so ill give it a good test, im sure its going to be fine. This is my third Jazz and i would say it sounds nicer than my Lakland DJ5 ever did, but also not quite as growly or bright as my HW1. But as i like the P tone i think it sits right in the middle and will work well, especially once i get the BD21 fired up. I also plan on putting a active pre in, probably a Audere but thats much later on.

[quote name='gary mac' post='868078' date='Jun 15 2010, 03:29 PM']Dave. You will be delighted I'm sure. I fitted 84's to my Squier Jazz a couple of years back and have sinced played many a gig with it. To my ears it has sounded just right, suitably turbo charged but not harsh. Other bass players and even guitarists have complimented me on the sound.[/quote] Cheers Gary. I have the 84's now so will put them in tonight if i can find some super glue lol. After playing for a while last night i did feel the stock pups were a bit too mellow so im sure ive made the right choice.

I really should post something better but i dont have a lot on youtube as i prefer Vimeo Hopefully ill get something sorted soon. Very compressed and not in focus, best way to see us really. Not really much excitement going on on stage. It was the end of a long day and as you can see, not a great crowd.

[quote name='IK Multimedia' post='867563' date='Jun 14 2010, 10:21 PM']You can play the included examples and there will be an "easter egg" method of getting your own direct samples imported in as well, I'm told. The adapter is going to be shipped first come, first serve in very early July. That date is correct and we look to be on schedule for it.[/quote] Thanks for the reply. One more question (last one i promise). This will work under iOS4 wont it?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='867519' date='Jun 14 2010, 09:52 PM']Thanks, Dave![/quote] No problem, lets hope its wrong and we get the adaptor sooner rather than later.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='867499' date='Jun 14 2010, 09:40 PM']Cool! When's the adaptor out? Or have I missed that bit?[/quote] This is what they said a while ago. " the iRig interface very early July and the app should hit the App Store as soon as it is approved"

[quote name='IK Multimedia' post='867440' date='Jun 14 2010, 09:05 PM']Thanks for the kind words, if you have any other questions let me know. Also, in two days the app will be available - including the free version and you can play with it on your device! [url="http://www.amplitube.com/irig"]http://www.amplitube.com/irig[/url][/quote] Hi and thanks. Can you tell us how we can play with it on a ipod touch without the adaptor. I have a peterson cable but of course it has no output.
