  1. None of the above :-D No giving the game away, Mr. Hunt...!
  2. (This thread is a bit of a journey... the review etc. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/212014-tks-112-cabs-new-to-the-uk-review/page__view__findpost__p__2143609"]starts here[/url].) Hello! I've got some new cabs on the way. Built to order... and they're being sent tomorrow. Yay! The builder has sent me this pic before he packed them up. I've blocked out the logo 'cos I like guessing games. I'm fairly sure I'm breaking new ground as far as Basschat goes.... more photos and opinions when I have them.
  3. So, among the key selling features of this amp are:[list] [*]It has a ground lift on the DI [*]It puts full power into 8ohm [/list] Ashdown marketing. LOL.
  4. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1373371729' post='2136755'] Usually its the backline that needs to go down. Mind you, that starts me on another soapbox, the soundman control thing where he wants the backline to be so anaemically and uninspiringly quiet so he has full control of everything with a nice big margin. I have to remind him that he has a sound reinforcement system which reinforces the sound of the band where it's needed. If he doesn't need bass through the foh, then fine, it doesn't HAVE to go through. (This is for smaller venues of course, the real ones that I'm likely to play most often.) [/quote] I can only comment on my own circumstances - most of the bands I play with have a very controlled on-stage volume. +1 to the rest of your post.
  5. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man (which I am, I suppose), a lot of these issues could be solved straight away if the FOH was TURNED DOWN A BIT and the subs were turned down a bit more still.
  6. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1373314238' post='2136105'] Must be an issue with Firefox (all releases), because more often than not this site is slow as treacle to load on all of my machines. All other sites are fine. I'm against IE and Chrome so I don't use them. [/quote] [url="http://www.srware.net/en/software_srware_iron.php"]Chrome for people who are against Chrome[/url].
  7. S'ok fer me in Chrome...
  8. Are you sure it's a BC server problem?
  9. TC RH450 owners have a choice here...
  10. FWIW, I read your original post and it didn't give me the impression you were the seller...

  12. I face 'generic zero-definition bass tone' syndrome quite often. I try not to stress about it these days, 'cos if the engineer wants to mix the band from the drums up there's nowt you can do about it. I generally insist on a mic or post-DI which I think helps. Every now and then we get someone who knows what mids are, and what flatwounds should sound like. I cherish those moments.
  13. Simpl reason fer me - I want to be in charge of what I hear on the stage.
  14. [quote name='timeworks' timestamp='1372799645' post='2130239'] http://forums.fender.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=86876&p=978897#p978897 Read it ALL. [/quote] I think, my friend, you have issues with insecurity.
  15. [quote name='MetricMike' timestamp='1372789175' post='2130059'] I always thought of this forum as reasonably well informed, but some of the comments on this thread verge on comic parody. As far as I can tell no-one commenting on this thread (up till now) was there and so are basing their opinions on a tv mix of less than half of the full show. This is my favourite........ [b]You don't know, you cannot judge - you have never seen them live!! [/b] [/quote] You're forgetting that I have ears.... which, despite dodgy TV mixes, can tell me if I like the music they're playing. I love a lot of Stones records. Gimme Shelter's groove is one of the best there is. But... musically, I've never heard them even begin to tap into that groove on live recordings of it. That's one example. Wether or not the sheer scale of the event compensates for that or not, I cannot say. Hence the disclaimer.
  16. Boring old Fender... never trying anything new....
  17. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1372683114' post='2128459'] I watched a few tracks on Iplayer.... and it was the Stones that you always get. You are never going to get anything unless you sacked Charlie and have a proper MD and show. Running everything off the whim of the gtr is a recipe for disaster that even the top sidemen can struggle with. It is the Stones...always have been ..always will be...don't expect anything else. People still buy their tickets. The one man who earnt his money was Jagger..IMO..considering the other two can hardly stand up.. [/quote] ? Charlie carries it, IMO.
  18. [quote name='headofire' timestamp='1372664904' post='2128169'] Guys, if you can't say anything nice... don't be haters life's too short. Just change the channel. They have done well, and they are top fellas. [/quote] I'm sure they are, and fair play to 'em.
  19. In case this is news to anyone... http://youtu.be/as4O2ZorKP8
  20. [quote name='cytania' timestamp='1372659864' post='2128122'] Folk-wise I think they are Bluegrass. [/quote] Bluegrass swings. Mumford... Don't.
  21. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1372612227' post='2127691'] So true. A lot of music has the very soul wrenched from it in the name of 'perfection'. I'd rather hear something a little less perfect technically but which retains at least some connection on an emotional level. I've spent a few years composing in front of a computer screen myself, but would much rather play in a band of humans, with all their faults... in fact, [i]because [/i]of their faults. [/quote] I dunno. I've always found them pretty soul-less live (although to be fair, I've never seen them in the flesh). Lots of attitude, but that alone can't carry it for me.
  22. [quote name='squire5' timestamp='1372591346' post='2127448'] Charlie has an odd drumming style.He tends to miss hitting the hi-hat every time he hits the snare. [/quote] It's a great feel - also employed by Levon Helm and Jim Keltner, amongst others.
  23. I don't suppose SS is short of a bob or two himself...
