you only have 2 and 4 ohm settings do not under-estimate the importance of biasing - get it wrong and the valves will blow - also the amp has a built-in valve protection system that will also close the amp down if something is wrong - in this respect some amps can be very very sensitive and be forever closing down former svt2pro owner - i emphasize the FORMER

bass is on its way!

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1249395' date='May 29 2011, 04:57 PM']Just a normal night's work for a bass player. I still can't help laughing at the fact that, as a bass player, I have automatically become the band's PA expert and set-up king. It all seems to come with the territory, despite the fact that I played my first EVER gig exactly three whole years ago ...[/quote] Fortunately I have lack of ability regarding a band's PA expert and set-up, so i do not get asked to help

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1249380' date='May 29 2011, 04:41 PM']My rig is an OTB into a Barefaced cab, either a Big One or a Midget. I allow at least five minutes to set up. I play a Status Graphite Streamline on stage so it doesn't need tuning. On t'other hand, I also help with the load-in for the drum kit, I personally bring in the band's PA and half the lighting rig, I do more than half of the PA & lighting set-up with the slide guitarist while the drummer sets up his kit, then I take the empty boxes & bags out to the car. Then the lead guitarist arrives and plonks his Marshall 212 right where my mic-stand is, kicking off the usual 5-minute argument followed by a 20-minute sulk on his part. I find an hour is about right ...[/quote] Yes I thought it might be something like that - well done for helping the other guys

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1249177' date='May 29 2011, 02:04 PM']Interesting stuff. It takes us (mainly me and the drummer) about an hour to set up before a standard pub gig. While we're doing that, we'll each have a pint, preferably London Pride.[/quote] Blimey What are you setting up? I used to be the last one to arrive - about 30 minutes before we started playing - which was plenty enough time to set up my TE 4x10, 1x15 and V6 rig and tune 2 basses

Definately an advantage to be sober when gigging. I just drink tap water on gigs. Good job too - in the winter before last when I was gigging twice weekly, round christmas/new year, I kid you not, I was stopped and breathalized 3 times!!!!! Must be some kind of a record. On the second occassion, trying to be green, I offerred the cops the plastic bit they give you after you have been breathalized, hoping they could re-use it and avoid using a new one - they were not amused. On the third occassion, I tried to sell them some of my band's cds - they were not amused.

Sold for £780. Good or bad buy?

[quote name='steve-soar' post='1248696' date='May 28 2011, 09:42 PM']Good call on the preamp. Still too expensive.[/quote] Its priced into 76-77 territory
