[quote name='kdphysio' post='391986' date='Jan 26 2009, 06:20 PM']Yeah, & i could easily make a £3000 bass sound sh*te!! (this a great thread by the way)[/quote] Me too

We spend money on more expensive basses because we want to

There are a few factors at work here. The exchange rate is making US strings more expensive but once upon a time music shops sold loads of strings cos it was the only place you got them. Now they only sell strings in desperation and dont get the bulk discounts they used to get. So its a vicious circle of selling fewer strings for more money. At least Roto's and the Status strings I use (assuming UK made) should not be affected.

What about the Style Council at Live Aid - probably the biggest audience a one of Bernies basses has ever had.

When are they going to do some lightweight cabs to go with it? Could get some Dr Bass with orange grills I suppose.

At least somebody has taken my advice about not mixing cabs. Not that much different from using 2 4x10's. When are you playing the Dog And Duck?

Its too late now but Hipshot have started making their bridges with Fender fit holes. Badass gone bust; whats that all about?

[quote name='bremen' post='389581' date='Jan 23 2009, 02:16 PM']Hang on - I've been as skeptical as anyone about this (see post #5) but I mix cabs. A fifteen and a six, to be specific. Tell me again why I shouldn't?[/quote] Are you taking the micky or have you not seen any of the flame wars All I have ever said is that having different cabs, as in not multiples of the same cabs, reproducing the same signal, can produce unpredictable results due to phase cancellation. This does not apply when using a crossover, as I presume your 15 and 6 does, or if biamping a 1x15/2x10 using a crossover for example. But putting full range through both cabs wont always be the sum of the parts.

One of the things that gets thrown at me when I am preaching the virtues of not mixing cabs is why do so many bass players use 1x15/2x10 or 4x10 stacks. My sometimes reply that they dont know any better or are too stupid to know any better depending on how confrontational I am feeling. Here (and in all the duplicate threads) is the proof. This petition just proves that there are 70,000 people stupid enough to believe everything they read on the internet. Hell I can fart louder than 70db.

I cant understand why you would want a different rig for rehersal and like most others I use my gig rig (GB Shuttle 6.0, 2 NeoX112T, pedal board etc), I just only plug the top cab in and I do the same for small gigs.

Sounds like a plan

IMHO, also.[/quote] Big +1

How far is West Bromwich from Bass Direct?

And people are still falling for it

There is a swamp ash GB Rumour for sale. Thats 2 a side.

You and 64,000 others

Always had the drums in my right ear - thats why it is f***ed! Drummer is a lefty as well

Dont think you can. You are better off using a hosting site like [url="http://photobucket.com/"]photobucket[/url]

Or to put it another way, would Ernie Ball strings be best for my Ernie Ball bass? I expect thats what new models are shipped with. But are you worrying about nowt really? The best strings are the ones you like!

Diago do a cable to reverse polarity. Not much help now mind.

I think there was some winding up going on
