so presumably a 200 watt Trace Elliot Elf is not the same as old fashioned Trace Elliot watts?

just checked the web site and it is saying available to order, normally available in 5 days, which is not the same as in stock obviously, can't remember whether it was saying in stock when I order mine tbh, but I'll watch out for that in the future. In stock at gear4music, £7 dearer, I'd have ordered from there if I'd realised at the time

just think that they should know instantly when they've sold the last one in these days off computerised stock systems, so should show out of stock on their web site, I wanted it for this weekend, but it's not the end of the world but I don't want to be waiting weeks for it, think I'll give them a ring like you say

so I ordered a Line 6 G10 wireless unit from Andertons yesterday, showing an in stock item, receive an email today saying out of stock, new stock arriving around Feb 19th. Is this a regular occurrence and how reliable is the restocking date?

we have no way of getting an individual mix, it's just extra gear to buy, store and carry around with extra set up and take down time, we just don't want to go down that road yet. I just posted my experience this weekend because I know there's other bands like us who want to keep things as simple as possible

yes but that's another 4 mics (3 if you Di the bass) and 4 more cables then balance them all, why bother when it works ok as it is?

a lot of the time the audience doesn't know what the bass does because they can't bloody hear it, people go on about what a great tone JJ Burnel has (had) but that's because it's so high in the mix, not saying it's not a great tone but if it was at the same level as say Bad Religion which I'm listening to as I type this nobody would have a clue what his tone was

give it a few more gigs then try and get the drummer and guitarist to get receivers and then get rid of the monitors. We really don't want to go down the route of micing everything up if that's what you mean

I've just had a couple of gigs at the weekend with IEM done on the cheap, we've got a gear4music transmitter and a couple of receivers, for me and the singer, I just set it up with 2 in ear earphones in then had to take one out to hear my bass and the band properly (replacing it with a generic ear plug) because we only have vocals going through the PA and it worked out ok I can tell a lot easier whether me and the singer are in harmony

yes, he proved he's no slouch with the Tomorrows Girls bass line, imo the Subs were never the same when he left, I saw the original line up in 2008? when they got back together for a tour, Pete Davis on Drums, and it was just like the old UK Subs again, it showed, to me at least, the bass player does matter, no disrespect to Alvin Gibbs but it just wasn't quite the same with him on Bass

shame he's so low in the mix and his trebly sound doesn't help, Inflammable Material is so lacking in bottom end

I sold this last September for £160 (bought it for £120, but with postage and ebay fees just about broke even) decent bass but a bit overpriced I'd say oh yeah, I'd be surprised if it was a Matsumoku

I use hydrogen, you have to do the drums yourself but it's easy enough, and it's free, do a 2 bar drum beat and it just keeps repeating in pattern mode and then you just adjust the speed You can record it with audacity then save to an MP3, I use my laptop for practice

so was the 'hide post' option on forum posts for a while

that's what I meant, can you imagine Lemmy playing bass for the Pistols? wasn't having a go at him as a bass player

tbh I'm not sure Lemmy was the best person to teach anyone bass

you might benefit then, I forgot to mention I use a bassdrive sim which slightly overdrives the signal which acts as a compressor, forgot about that

yes, I should add I play with a pick which could be why I don't notice them doing much

I've tried them, could never figure out what they do, I know what they're supposed to do, any sound difference is minimal in my experience

well that was interesting, tried the slapping over the pickup method @Jus Lukin suggested, once again the Zoom had little or no effect but turning down the 30Hz slider (-15db) on my Trace GP12 did, so maybe my zoom is a load of cack

no blend here's a link to the settings, not sure what you mean by 50/50 https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/E_B1on_B1Xon_FX-list_100.pdf

just set up my Zoom B1on with 4 Ac Bs pre stacked, all set to 9 on Depth 50 on gain, level on 100 everything else on 0, took off the speaker grill, made no difference at all to speaker travel, more snake oil? or am I missing something?

sometimes people are got rid of because they've lined up someone else, ask Pete Best

you could try 105's as your E string, they'll be a tighter tension, I've never had this trouble but mines a MIA with high mass bridge and grooves for the string

I asked the same thing when I accidently duplicated a post
