  1. [quote name='BOD2' timestamp='1179585402' post='2278'] The following is some simple guides to the various methods of using a DI box and playing directly through a PA. An [b][i]unbalanced jack lead[/i][/b] is a standard jack plug to jack plug instrument cable. A [b][i]balanced XLR lead[/i][/b] is a standard XLR male to XLR female mic lead. "Balancing" allows for improved noise rejection in the cable which gives better signal strength and allows longer cable runs. [/quote] You omitted [b][i]balanced jack lead[/i][/b] which uses 3 core cable and a TRS 1/4" jack [tip ring sleeve]
  2. [quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1363802517' post='2017937'] Cool, i like the accessories. [/quote] It was the promise of the accessories that sucked me in to the purchase. [and the thought of not having to walk from my studio desk to the kitchen to grab a beer] Marketing's great isn't it?
  3. [quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1363802059' post='2017925'] Don't you know that now you need to be more specific when you use the expression "Marshall Fridge"? [/quote] This one literally a fridge
  4. I ordered a Marshall fridge through a nationwide chain of music shops on 9th July 2012.....I am still waiting for delivery....latest update this week was 10th April 2013......I am not holding my breath. [they charged my CC on 9th July too - ouch!!] This I have learned to live with but I so need my cab.
  5. [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1363796935' post='2017827'] my originals band is aged 48, 49, 49 and 50. [/quote] We are 48, 52, 54, 56 and er 28 The 28 year old was drafted in as a repacement for someone who now lives in LA - He was the 56 year old's son's friend.
  6. Just bought a pair of jack to speakon cables from Lozz. Magnificent service - he even delivered to my office!!! (he does work around the corner)... Wouldn't even keep the change which i offered him for his trouble. Diamond - quality geezer. Shame it was so cold - I could've chatted for hours.
  7. [quote name='bassintheface' timestamp='1363792810' post='2017728'] That is a hobby to me - lads weekend away playing songs. I need it for work so would be broke if I only did 6 gigs! [/quote] These days that is all it is to me. It's all it needs to be. I have a good day job that pays well so the music is just a hobby. If I didn't have the band I am in I suppose I would seek out a covers band or the like but I like what I have and intend to keep doing it for as long as promoters allow us to.....
  8. [quote name='Ba55me15ter' timestamp='1363791968' post='2017707'] Just don't get your hopes up for end of May is all I'd say (speaking from experience and still waiting...). [/quote] when did you order?
  9. I'm not. Never have been. Never will be. I am happy playing half a dozen gigs a year, almost all on the continent to fans that know and love our tunes, staying in comfortable, if modest, hotels and having expenses paid weekends away with my mates. I can't imagine what playing in a covers band down the pub might be like.
  10. It is less than a week since I ordered a barefaced S12T.......it's not due until "the end of May, beginning of June"...and already the waiting is killing me. I WANT IT NOW!!! ha Ha I've already ordered a Roqsolid cover for it - it had better fit as Roqsolid only have a 30day guarantee if it doesn't..... I remember waiting for my parts from Warmoth was agonising and that was only a couple of weeks.... How am I going to get through waiting until the end of May or beginning of June? It's gonna be agony....how do you cope with what feels like a lifetime to wait for your new toy?
  11. [quote name='Shambo' timestamp='1363768426' post='2017125'] That's interesting Twigman, nearly all the socket 1155 motherboards I'm looking at state they support 32GB. The socket 2011 I'm seeing tends towards 64GB max. Are there compatability problems between makes of RAM and motherboards? That's the sort of thing I'm looking to avoid. [/quote] They may say they support 32GB but try buying more than 4GB in a chip. How many RAM slots are on the motherboard? My DDR2 RAM motherboard only has 4 RAM slots - yet the manual says it supports up to 32GB RAM - Did anyone ever make an 8GB RAM chip in DDR2? Nope Modern trip[le channel memory motherboards may have upto 6 slots.....but show me DDR3 RAM on more than 4GB per chip...I've not seen any EDIT: I see that socket 2011 motherboards seem to have 8 slots (!!!!!) eg http://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-p9x79-intel-x79-s-2011-ddr3-sata-iii-6gb-s-sata-raid-pcie-30-%28x16%29-atx and that it seems at last 8GB RAM per slot is now manufactured if not stocked eg http://www.scan.co.uk/products/32gb-%284x8gb%29-corsair-ddr3-dominator-pc3-12800-%281600%29-non-ecc-unbuffered-cas-10-10-10-27-dhx-technolo So i stand corrected.......
  12. I have listened back on something other than my studio monitors and can safely say my mix SUCKS big time. It's awful! Ha Ha but I enjoyed it and am already looking forward to next month
  13. Finding a motherboard that will take 32GB RAM with the current RAM chips available is going to be tricky.....why would you need 32GB RAM? I only have 8GB and even with multiple instances of Kontakt running some quite complex libraries I hardly ever exceed 6.5GB in use.
  14. you wanna try transporting any bass by Honda Fireblade......not easy
  15. My drums just ended up being a muddy mess......drummers going mental on the kit are not my usual fodder.
  16. [url="http://www.scan.co.uk"]http://www.scan.co.uk[/url] are my goto supplier. I have built several computers from their parts. They deliver next day and are very competitvely priced
  17. Everywhere I look I can find 5m or 10m or 25m lengths but not a simple 1m cable. Where can I buy a simple 1m 1/4" jack to speakon cable? I suppose I could make my own but I just can't be arsed.
  18. Mine's in, although I am far from happy with it....but my ears have had enough!
  19. You will have my mix over the weekend - just trying to source a facility which will allow me to host a 59.4MB wav.........
  20. Just ordered one of these. I am excited!!!!
  21. Thought I would set up my own feedback thread as I have bought a couple of things from here and am now selling something. Hopefully I will get positive rep but you never know....
  22. [quote name='dudewheresmybass' timestamp='1363087558' post='2008091'] So the qtron hasn't made it to the board yet? [/quote] This is my gigging board..... The qtron won't be going on it as my band has little use for a filter in its sound. The qtron I bought as a toy Until I like it and get the hang of using it [and the others like it and we write some songs that are enhanced by using it] it will stay off the board The band i am in gig a 2hr+ set of self penned songs going back over the last 30 years which the punters know well from the many albums recorded. A qtron just isn't going to do anything for the bass on those.
