  1. The module in the Berg IP is not a Powersoft one. If only IP came in neo!
  2. I have 4 tickets to see them in Manchester on May 13th if anyone wants them. £16.50 each. I bought them but found out that I am going with work after I had bought them,
  3. When technique is subservient to the music. That was very nice indeed.
  4. They are for Tuesday, May 13th at Band on the wall in Manchester.
  5. I bought four of these, but now cannot use them. £16.50 is their face value. I will post for free
  6. Tiltback/monitor form factor as well? If this sounds like a shopping list, it is because it is a shopping list.
  7. I have the hybrids at the mo. If you are a Spiro player but dream of a decent arco tone, then look no further (for me, on my bass). If that were what my tone goal I would be all over these like a bad rash. At the moment the braids are doing it more for me and I am fine with that (for me, on my bass). These are slighlty higher tension than the braids and I like the lower tension thing. If I could bow the Rockabillys then I would be using them. But if I were a Spiro kinda guy I would be on these - the tone is slightly less metalic - perhaps like a mature set of Spiros (on my bass, for me). Slightly lower tension than Spiros, but really nothing in it, but they have the same immediacy and sound focus (is that even a concept?). For me, on my bass. Who is next?
  8. IIRC this Fishman piezo bridge is the same as the one Bolin used in their NS basses. It does everything you always hoped a piezo pickup would do, but had never actually heard it happening. Cemaes - in Anglesey?
  9. I tried one once and confirmed what my old piano teacher knew. I am a one note at a time kind of bloke. I still struggle to walk in a straight line when I think of one.
  10. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1391960892' post='2362993'] some power amps have DSP built in with handy visual interfaces for the PC - it wouldn't surprise me if given the plans for a cab and the graphs of what it will do you could work it out yourself... [/quote] There are many things in life that I [i]could[/i] do for myself, but I have learnt that there are lots of things that I never actually get around to doing, so if it is already done by someone who knows what they are doing then the magic happens that bit easier! I would also like a little DSP box to put before the power section of my AI so that I could avoid carrying a rack around with me
  11. [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1391955181' post='2362926'] DSP is a fascinating field but is beyond the scope of this project. [/quote] So, in the spirit of this thread, who can do the DSP for us tech-numpties?
  12. I would love a cab engineered for the increased LF extension (fully accepting the efficiency trade-off) that my ACME offers. Would that be an option? I am also a huge fan of DSP as evidenced in all the grownup PA systems as well as the Berg IP series. There was a thread on TB looking at DIY DSP http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/diy-line-mixer-crossover-eq-high-pass-filter-749884/ which would be great to slot into a nice 12" cab.
  13. You could always chuck a set of pyramids onto one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JzF-5k0pog
  14. Yeah yeah yeah...... try the ACME.... yadda yadda yadda. The ONLY time you will ever have an obscure piece of bass kit (possibly the only one in the UK) within a 10 minute drive in this area and it has been months since you said you were going to!
  15. At £110 inc shipping, if I was not already ukebassed to the max, I would struggle VERY hard to think of a reason not to buy one. That is totally bargainous.
  16. Brand new, unopened 5 string set of la Bella Double Ball end system strings. Pack code: S300 Gauge: 045 - 065 - 085 - 105 - 128. I bought these on Monday. They are not for me. I had the G on for about 3 mins before realising that I already have what I need (strange that, it happens quite a lot). All the rest are shiny in their little envelopes. £22 (£3 discount for the 3 mins of playing on one string).
  17. [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1391608296' post='2359119'] Wot gallery's that then Ted? [/quote] The dangerous one.
  18. Are these the ones based on the Fender tone stack? So very much Alembic F1X flavoured (in a good way)?
  19. The ACME is lush! I have one and I love the low tuning. If importing another from the US was not so painfully expensive, I would have 2. The low end is pretty addictive. I have experienced the less efficient nature of the cab and flogged amps which were not happy to drive it, but I have no DB amplification GAS now (apart from the desire for a 2nd one). A low tuning option on this build might appeal to some people who were happy about the efficiency trade off.
  20. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First dibs if you decide to sell?
