Did I read the same article as you guys? He has opinions, and backs them up, but accepts people do things differently. I thought he talked a lot of sense.

[quote name='Paul Cooke' post='300463' date='Oct 6 2008, 01:39 PM']when are they supposed to be pulling the plug on FM radio then? That's the biggest problem DAB has to fight against... oh and apparently, the UK has the worst bitrate in the world on DAB and most UK DAB stations are only in mono as a result.[/quote] but in crystal clear mono...

Played at a Biker Rally in Norfolk as support to the main band. We played our set, went down ok, then the headline band did their thing. Thing is, their bass player had won a bottle of Jack Daniels in the raffle. After been on the beer all day, he drank 3/4 of the JD bottle, which led to him sitting down during the gig then falling asleep. So I took his Ricky of him and finished the gig. I actually knew [i]some [/i]of the songs I played

read the 2nd line of the title and thought it was one of [i][color="#FF0000"]those [/color][/i]posts from earlier

Not sure of the weight, but on top Tech Soundystems TVM 600 2X10 combo, and underneath Tech 2x12 cab. here it is with a guitar to add a bit of size perspective Fits in the boot of my car, with is a saloon

sweet as a Tech user myself, i can vouch for the quality of this gear.

sorry to be the voice of dissent, but no, not my bag. The only good Warwick I've ever played (IMO of course) is G-77s. Amazing neck and lovely tone that that I've not heard in a Warwick since. It's always difficult describing sound in words, but I would describe Warwicks as brittle. And yep, I've played loads, and different models. YMMV.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='295576' date='Sep 30 2008, 04:16 PM']I have become the proud owner of a Tech Soundsystems 610 XT. This cab was originaly owned by Warwickhunt, who I beieve imported it from Germany last year. The cab was then sold to TerryK, who lives near to me and when he told me that he wanted to move it on, I bought it from him without hesitation. “Without hesitation?” I hear you ask, well this cab is rather special. It is no longer made and was the original version of the ND 610, which was built to replace this model but to a lesser specification. The cab was part of Tech's NeoDynamic range, it uses neodynium magnets in the construction of its speakers, as opposed to conventional ferrite, the purpose of this is to decrease weight and when using multiple drivers, 6×10” speakers in this case, the result is a worthwhile reduction in its over all weight. The weight of the cab suprises all who lift it, at 30 kgs (66 lbs) it is a true lightweight but its performance is anything but. As mentioned it comes equipped with 6×10” speakers with a total impeadence of 6 ohms, the cab can handle an impressive 2100 watts, so to get the best from this cab you will need a lot of power. It also has an adjustable tweeter which is quite different to others in that it has settings for its operation, as oppossed to a volume control, let me explain. There are Hard Attack and Soft Attack settings and an off position. In Soft Attack, there are high, mid and low settings, in Hard Attack, there are high and mid settings all of these settings are accessed by a knob which is found on a control plate, which also includes two Speakon input and output sockets and a 1/4” jack socket which can accept a footswitch which can be used to switch the tweeter off completely. The difference between the tweeter settings is staggering, ranging from super-agressive slap tones in High Hard Attack, to mellow Dub tones when the tweeter is turned off. The cab is quite tall 41” and here is where the cab is let down, not by its height but by the placement of its side handles. They are 18 1/2” from the top of the cab making it quite difficult to pick up as your arms are almost fully stretched out when trying to pick it up. With the side handles there is also a recessed bar at the back of the cab with which to tilt it back on its excellent and sturdy rollers, this feature is called tilt and roll. The cab is finished in a dark grey carpet which is expertly applied, metal corners match the chrome detail on the perforated steel protective grill which has a very stylish curved profile, which is supported with a brace, the effect is one of elegance on such a tall, slim cab. The speakers are arranged in offset pairs, with the left speaker dropped to the centre of the right speakers cone, this reduces the overall width of the cab and with the tweeter in the top left corner and a large port in the bottom right corner finishes the stunning design of a cab that not only sounds amazing but is designed and built to without compromise. Specifications, 6×10” Neodynium speakers, Adjustable tweeter with footswitch option, Recessd side handles with “Tilt and Go” function, Power handling 2100 watts, Impeadence 6 ohms, 40 1/2” H x 21” W x 16 1/2” D, Weight 30 kgs (66 lbs), Made in Germany, RRP 1680 Euros.[/quote] need pictures!

Great day, but gutted to have missed the Bootsy Bass - whose was it? Too much nice gear to single out a favourite, but I must mention s_u_y_*'s vintage P. Finally a P that felt right, was not too big, balanced well, sounded great, and was not too heavy. Why was mine not like that! With all the talented playing going on, how about some kind of master-class thing, for next time? Thanks again to Nik, Merton, and Walman

If it's not good enough for John McCoy it's not good enough for me.

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='260538' date='Aug 12 2008, 01:20 AM']Allo Does anyone else have over 50 basses? I'm currently at critical mass (seriously) with 57 basses and around 13 guitars. I must stress that this is not in any way shape or form meant to prove anything (other than that I am completely nuts and am about to lose everything {including my mind!} in my quest for furtherage of bass fulfillment!) but I'm intrigued as there are some really great collections out there in Basschat Land. My collection has grown rapidly and having gotten involved here, I've met some really great people with some really amazing basses. Am I mad? Cheers. Nick[/quote] Where do you put them all? I had enough trouble with storage when I had 4!

Well techinally I have 3, although I'm only in possession of 1 - my Carvin 5 string. John Shuker is currently building me 1 and I'm waiting to get my Iceni back from Mike Walsh

I would

Seriously underated band Madness. Quality stuff, and great musicians. One of the Sunday papers gave away a live CD of Madstock over 2 weeks last year. I have both

[quote name='TheDarkReaver' post='290315' date='Sep 23 2008, 08:48 PM']So I fancy trying to get some official grades, in the hope that it'll put me on the path of getting the theory down. However, looking at the site they don't seem to have grades for Bass guitar, even though I've heard of people taking them. So do they exist? Do they just make you take the ones for guitar?[/quote] Thet do exist, try the ABRSM, or The Associate Board of the Royal School of Music. Think they do them. Of course some people will say The Ox never had any grades, or Jaco...

Does anyone going know about wireless transmitters? I think mine has a faulty ariel connection, and I'd be awfully grateful if someone could have a look

Or it it held up by will power? [/quote] It could be Will Power. He's hiding just out of shot, holding the bass up
