A lot of the gigs we do are outdoor or marquees, biker rallies, birthday parties, that kind of stuff. There's nearly always a backline IME, either from the sound company or just from one of the bands that's playing. Shame about pubs though! Although as I understand it, originals bands often play multi-band bills and they have shared backline. It might be time to join one...... :-)

Me too, but the difference is that a tank is suitable for war and feather duster is not. For your analogy to stand lightweight gear would have to be unsuitable for a gig. Not directed at you SH73 but I could see the appeal someone might have if one were to gig very rarely. It might be a nice treat to lug the old tube head down the stairs and clean out the car boot to fit the 8x10. I think once you hit twice a month or so though people seem to see the gig itself as the treat and the surrounding load in, travel etc as just a necessary pita. When I know a gig has supplied backline the 'artiste' part of me will whinge about not having 'my sound' or whatever but the rest of me is really, really happy for the 5 minute tear down!

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1481478737' post='3192578'] If I ever gig I won't care about having a heavy rig. [/quote] So does that mean you haven't? Try it and you might change your mind! My amp rig peaked with an Ashdown lead sled amp, 4x10 and 1x15 stack. The down to GK 1001 and neo cabs, then now to Gk class D and barefaced. Trust me, the smaller and lighter the better!

Where abouts are you? Would you post? -
[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1480897291' post='3187980'] No website at the moment but we're on Facebook as dirtysouthrock Next gig for us is a big one, headline slot at the Newcastle O2 Academy on 27th December. Full nine piece Skynyrd tribute show, with four other quality local tributes. [/quote] No can do from me, we're in the slightly less prestigious Stone Trough that night! Good luck with the show though!

That's really cool. You guys got a website? Be great to come out and see you.

Weren't the MiBass ones the ones that connected external speakers in series?

PM.

Yeah like Danny said, it appears that any dual loop pedal will do it, as long as you can blend the loops.
-
Yeah you'll need to change the wiring if it has two inputs or drill another hole if it only has the one but it's possible. No need for a switch, if it's 4ohms it should split into 2 8ohm cabinets easily and if you want to use one amp with the whole cab just use both inputs.

Bump.

New PM. -
Argh, just perfect but I need my 'ray 5 gone first. :-(

All PMs replied to. Thanks for all the messages and interest. I've also edited the main post to better reflect trade options.

SOLD Thanks!

Hello everyone, It is with great regret that I am listing my EBMM Stingray 5 for sale. 4 years ago I moved house, and temporarily stored all my belongings in my old room in my parents house. I never did move the Ray 5 back out, it's sat in it's case since then which I think says a lot about how much I play it. I just never got around the whole 5-string thing. My 4-string still gets played every day. When I first got it I played it a lot and tried to bond, so it has a few small marks. One on the b string side of the heel just along from the bridge and one tiny scratch on the headstock. Both of these are shown in the photos in this first post but I will get better photos of the imperfections when I go back to my mother's on Saturday. Apart from the one or two minor cosmetic marks mentioned it's a superb bass. It plays great with the sound, build quality, feel and consistency that MM are famous for. There's no hunting for a good one with MM like you do with Fender and there are no duds either, they're all amazing. It comes in its' original EBMM hardcase and has some of the case candy. It's currently strung with ancient EBMM Slinkys, I'd be happy to restring and get it set up professionally before you buy. I am the original owner and I distinctly remember picking it up on Valentine's Day 2004. It is serial number E01197, made 12/01/2004 and was notarized by EBMM in 2011 [url="http://forums.ernieball.com/ernie-ball-music-man-basses/1254-music-serial-database-406.html#post846669"]here[/url]. Sound Control in Newcastle ordered it via Strings and Things from EB themselves, this bass was literally built for me as at the time the maple board without the painted headstock was a difficult combo to find. I don't think the configurator on the EBMM site is still there, shame really. I live in Newcastle but I travel a lot with work. I can likely meet up in most major towns in the North East or Yorkshire and I travel to London a lot too. I would theoretically post it, but the onus would be on the buyer. I would be after the cash or there are a few items I would accept in trade or partial trade depending. EBMM Bongo 4 HH Ibanez Prestige or similar coffee table bass Warwick/Schecter type basses, big and growly Lakland DJ GK MB200 Tiny cab like a Crazy 8 or something 1RU Power amp 1RU Preamp The bass is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to withdraw.

Tech 21 Bass Driver DI (BDDI) - New version (V2) - MIDS!
Jack replied to Musicman20's topic in Effects
Isn't there a chance that it's just the mids being more prominent making it sound as though there's less bass? -
Newcastle/Durham here and very interested.

As is my answer to most DI questions, Countryman Type 85. It's perhaps not the planet's best, but it's the standard for good reason.

Although it wouldn't be appropriate/necessary with full range cabs like these, we've been successfully using the aux-fed subs method for some time now. The main advantage of aux fed is that it keeps 99.99% of LF content out of the tops. You don't need that by all accounts with these barefaced cabs, but all those of you wondering why or how you'd only use sub, the answer is you'd use an aux output. With regards to sub placemnt, we always have one top on a stand and then the other one stacked on top of both subs. Less power alley that way, and it keeps cabling neater. Granted, the LF output is unnoticeably higher on the sub side, but we just make sure to put them furthest from the bar!

I, too, use a mixer. A soundcraft compact to be exact. Bass in Ch1. PC in Ch2 (mp3s, youtube etc) ->Mixer -> Headphones out to listen and pc out to record.

I swapped a RB1001ii for a Fusion 500, not quite the MB500 but very similar. Sometimes I still miss the big old 1001 but the Fusion is so, so good that most of the time I'm happy I swapped. The 1001 was a little bigger and hefiter, it always sounded effortless, headroom for days. The lightweights are just as loud but IME this particular amp is not quite as full sounding and not quite as big in lows. Many people reckon this is a fault of lightweights generally but I'm not so sure, I've played plenty of full size amps that are nowhere near as full as the fusion.
