I've had a Tascam mp3 bass trainer for a few weeks now, and I've found it a very useful piece of kit. If I had to choose between the tascam or a practice amp of similar value (on the assumption that I had a rehearsal/gigging rig already) I'd go for the tascam every time.

dull thud could possibly be a Crafted in Japan P (direct from from Ishibashi.co.jp in Japan) strung with flats, or take a look at the squier vintage series, there's a review for one of them knocking around here, and my jazz is lovely

I'm using a profet3.2 with 2 hartke cabs, clean and punchy, altho I am waiting for am ampeg so it might be on the market in a bit. I've nothing bad to say about the profet tho, it has a nice, simple eq and sounds great. The only con I've heard is that the on/off switch is round the back, but that's only an issue if you have it in a deep rack case

[quote name='dood' post='92983' date='Nov 22 2007, 08:32 PM']ok try this... go to your mate's computer whilst he is away.. and whilst on their desktop hit the "print screen" key on the keyboard.Now, run paint and select edit > paste - yeah you know that bit..easy. Save the picture somewhere safe that you now have.Don't close paint just yet Ok here's the fun bit.. go back and cut all the icons from the desktop.. dump em somewhere hidden.. you could even delete them. Next bit... set the picture you have just saved as the desktop background. (you can do this from within paint) YOu should have a desktop that now looks exactly like it did before you started messing about.. (close paint, obviously) just watch your mate try to open his icons though.. hawww hawww hawww...[/quote]

cheers mate

[quote name='mdc' post='92459' date='Nov 21 2007, 11:36 PM']I swapped out all my flats and halfs for DR Sunbeams and I'm happy... accordingly these are surplus - about a year old but unopened - anyone want to give them a try? Mike[/quote] How much are you after for them?

[quote name='steve' post='91749' date='Nov 20 2007, 07:42 PM']thanks for that Dan, I've emailed Hartke and Sound Technology PLC - their UK distributors[/quote] Ordered a replacement from Sound Technology PLC - £75 +VAT, which was £40 cheaper than Thomann - cheers Dan, I owe you a pint

I'm considering upgrading my head (thinking SVT PRO3), and I was wondering about cabs. I have a Hartke 2.5XL and a 115XL, and was trying to work out if I could use the 2.5XL or the 115XL with either a 410XL or 4.5XL. The 410/4.5 is 400W at 8ohm and the 2.5/115 is 200W at 8ohm, giving me 600W at 4ohm, which I assume is enough headroom. [i]but[/i] will the output from the amp be distributed at 50/50 between cabs ie at high output levels (for arguments sake, say 420W), will the 2.5/115 be exposed to 210W? I'd be grateful for some opinions/advice, cheers [size=1]edited to reword the question[/size]

I got the TI flats on my P this eve, and I'm quite happy with them so far, it'll be interesting to see how they sound at rehearsal on Sunday. Hopefully the sound won't change too much as they wear in......
