buff

Will definately fiddle around over the week, so far have had the mid's flat with a tiny bit of treble. Think i got caught out last night in a band situation with the volume and worrying about the tresh light. But as long as the peak doesnt come on, i suppose its all ive got to worry about. Like i say just been used to peavey's for so long, the svt3 i had was more complicated but seemed louder. But some ampeg cab's could make all the difference.

Gigged the PF last night using a abm 2x10 and homemade cab fitted with a1x15 BW speaker. Got the volume up, before started playing. Turned it whilst playing ending up with the volume at about 1 o clock, gain At 10 o clock and compression at about 8 o clock. Everything else on flat, hi and low buttons in and centre knob on position 3. I found certain times the sound was disappearing in the mix compared to my tour 450 head. It could be down to the poor output from my 51 squire precision. Not really found any definate setting on the net as yet. I'm guessing the gain should be brought up in line with the volume, then turned back if it starts to clip.

Called loud technologies this afternoon, who confirmed that if the led is on it means the compression is working. At the volume ive tried so far havent noticed a lot of difference once it goes past 12 o clock, so i'll keep my eye on it tomorrow night.

Yes the peak light is also the mute light (red) the thresh light is yellow, the 350 doesnt have this light. Probably were the misunderstanding comes from. It say's in the manual, THRESH LED this illuminates when the signal is above the compressor threshold and gain reduction is active. So im guessing the compressor or gain need's turning back. It would help if it said turn back or amp will go into self destruct mode. Maybe if the amp was made in the UK i'd understand it all.

Maybe im missing something, course i read it. Just didnt understant it is it meant to light up or not

Had one turn up this morning, played around for half an hour. Got to say i prefer it over the svt3 i had a few years back, not so confusing maybe control wise. Only hooked it up to an abm 2x10 at present, but im loving it. Best sound's so far have been with my squier 51 precision. Who know's my sansamp could become a thing of the past Not sure what the thresh light is though ????

Love the look of the 50's precision bass with block inlay's, not strictly correct i know but cool.

Dont think i'll bother then, just noticed crate do a 50 watt battery powered bass amp

Anyone tried one of these, got a couple of outside party gig's. Concerned how loud they are, as the guitarist has a battery powed 50watt Crate amp.

Thats answered a few question's and caused a few arguements as well Have had a jazz with a MM emg in the bridge position but it didnt really give that sound, so the pre amp does help also. Had a MM but found the neck to wide, so i wont be getting a MM in the forseable future.

Thought i'd got it wrong going by the first post's about the humbucker lol

Im guessing as both have a humbucker type pick up, it would involve fitting a prea amp of some sort . Anyone had any success ?

A popular bass at glastonbury, judging by the amount i saw on tv.

Ive got a brand new Bartolini humbucker pick up for sale that goes in the bridge position (not the little one than can fit under the bridge)
