turning both knobs almost full on seems to do something nice. I'm gonna be using my J-Station for bass and guitar soon, so may start another thread 'my compressor has 4 knobs!'.

Sounds like the beginning of a joke, "so Prince, Stevie Wonder and Larry Graham walk in to a bar..." when did it happen?

still waiting for pics!

another no here. Heavier the better for me for tone and feel

[/quote] TVM 600 head in the combo upgraded on the treble to give an extra 6db of boost at 11khz, 600w RMS @ 2ohm. Combo runs at 4ohms. I got it from the Bass Merchant when Mike (Zoot) was still running it.

[quote name='Blackbird88' timestamp='1350860111' post='1844495'] I don't think we're lacking in bass heroes as such, in fact Chris Wolstenholme of Muse and Fieldy of Korn spring to mind, [/quote] Muse and Korn have been around for a fair few years. There are still plenty of bass heroes around, but name a new one from the last 5 years?

i've posted this before, but I own one of his former combo's my modified TechSoundsystems TVM 600 2x12

In Guy Pratt's book he mentions muso ads before punk: ~ guitarist not on a heavy trip wanted ~ and after punk: ~ guitarist wanted, no beards ~ the on I likeD was: ~ vocalist wanted, must have own van and PA ~

IMO it's because there are no 'characters' on bass in the newer bands, to inspire kids to take up the bass.

if west London manages to avoid flooding, should be a gun 'un!

if we were not gigging tonight I would have jumped on the 85 and been there.

cheers for replies, I will take the advice to heart and give it a go. Except for selling it

Having been reliably informed that if using a 1 knob compressor 'you're f****d', and that if using a 2 knob compressor 'you're still f*****d', it doesn't change the fact that my compressor only has 2 knobs That been the case I would still like to know how to get the best out of it. Any advice?

subscribed.

simple but effective.

weren't Status doing this a few years ago?

Last not was a weird one. A 3 set affair at the The Old Ford near Aldershot. There were people in the pub, but not too many, and the England match was on - although they didn't seem to be paying too much attention to it. The audience response was lacklustre to say the least, and was my first gig in the year I have been with the band that no-one danced. But when we played the last song they were cheering for an encore. Go figure.

This thread reminds me of the Bill Bailey skit, where the jazz keyboardist thinks he's playing toccata and fugue in Dm, in a solo, but actually ends up playing the theme to Ski Sunday.
