    Mark Bass LMII power supply

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Mine cut out a couple of gigs ago and came back in 2 mins later. It's been fine since though and the venue is know for dodgy mains power.
    Funny thing is the blue light was still on, yet i tried my bass directly into the amp and still nothing.

    Fingers crossed though!

    Also i use decent quality kettle lead from an old bass amp


    I think waynepunkdude is currently running the black market in kettle leads so why not give him a shout?

    [quote name='Dr.Dave' post='401365' date='Feb 5 2009, 06:49 PM']Funnily enough , some bloke from round your way's sending me a fretless Jazz so when it arrives I'll try it through the Moen!![/quote]


    Haha, i got a Small Clone through today, was regretting sending that bass so early as it would have sounded the nuts through the chorus!

    Reckon you should have that Jazz tomorrow, enjoy!

    Planet Waves Cables + Dunlop Strap Locks

    in Accessories and Misc

    Posted

    I have been using Planet Waves cables for about 3 years now, on the same set of 2 and they're like new. Also come with a loop of elastic attached you can hook round your strap button to prevent tugging on the lead which is genius!
    Excellent value for money

    Don't use the Dunlop straplocks anymore (i used the metal ones) as they don't stand up to gigging as well as the Schaller ones. They don't exactly fail but the ones on my Warwick are very hard to remove

    When you say plastic ones i assume you mean the ones you fit over your existing strap buttons? Do their job i suppose but you're best investing in a proper set of sturdy metal ones

    Fretless options.....

    I played a cracking Yamaha in Frets Guitar Centre (spits) a while back, think they still have it.
    Was looking at it before buying my first fretless but was a bit over budget, had one too many strings and was a bit too modern looking for me. The low B was very defined though and it had a decent circuit in it
    Good string spacing too

    What was your first bass and why did you start playing?

    A Hohner B2 (i think) PBass copy. Ugly and pretty rubbish.
    £120 from Crack Converters, thought i'd got a bargain until i saw a pretty little Dean in a music shop, so i swapped the Hohner for a PC so i could do my school work on it (actually just played Football Glory and Doom but meh)

    Put me off Ps for years until i played a decent one, still old man's basses though........

    Hartke Kickback 12

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    As it's the USA one it's probably a bit more desirable than the Chinese stuff, but they're about £250 new.

    My housemate's selling his USA Kickback 15 for about £200 and that's mint (he gave up playing about a week after buying an entire new rig!)

    I'd say £150+ ???

    Cracking little amps btw, i did a small gig with my mate's with no PA and didn't need to push it

    LAKWOOD FRETLESS BASS - GREAT SPEC - PRO SETUP

    [quote name='bassatnight' post='396669' date='Feb 1 2009, 11:00 AM']Sounds interesting, let me know when you are willing to flog it... I am just looking for a toe-in-the-water fretless so don't want to fork out too much, just in case we don't get on ;-)

    Cheers,

    It's available now, i'll get some pictures taken next time my missus is at mine (i haven't got a decent camera).

    When i got it the neck needed loosening and pulling a bit so it was aligned correctly (something you have to do on a lot of old Fenders) and the neck pickup rout is a little sloppy. Also the tone pot feels clunky towards one part of it's travel but still works perfectly.

    This was my first fretless, i didn't wanna spend much but wanted something that looked cool. I was really impressed with it so i stuck with it and upgraded the pickups and pots. It sounds great, i'll get some clips done during the week

    How was your gig last night?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Just played a private party at Bloomfield Road (home of the mighty Blackpool Football Club).

    Had the best onstage sound ever, the singer and drummer were using in-ear monitors and the room had fantastic acoustics so it was like listenind to a CD! Everything was crystal clear and the LMKII/Schroeder rig kicked out a ton of bassness without ever being pushed.

    Perhaps the best part of the night happened before we even unpacked our gear though. We got in the room and there was a singer/karaoke guy checking mic levels. We introduced ourselves and it was only after we'd been chatting for a bit that he realised he was at the wrong gig! He was meant to be doing a function the other side of town, so had to pack all his gear up and re load his car! Turns out he did the same gig the previous year and it was in this room so he'd just turned up and set his gear up without checking

    I tried not to laugh but, being incredibly immature, i absolutely pi$$ed myself!

    Ended up getting a few gigs out of it and the Hostess was really impressed with us, think we may soon become the "house band" at Bloomfield Road! (Anyone who's seen the half-staduim/construction site will know this is nothing to shout about!)
