Ok , this is my contribution to this thread , I have spent 2 years getting to this point, and it has been a load of compromising on the road to my ........................................ no , no Actually its been a lot longer , as I chopped off the back of the garage to build this room some time ago and it has been a 'music' room since then but we have only just but the bricks on the walls and got the furniture. The sound of the room is OK but it is far too lively to be considered a studio , It has a great feel to it ,but not so much the sound it needs at the moment , but I have plans for some temporary sound treatments that I can put away when I have to . This room wont stay quite as tidy as this I am sure , but I dont want to upset the applecart tooo soon [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/16408931@N03/11350829874/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/16408931@N03/11350829874/]dec13 161[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/16408931@N03/]kevin.ahern[/url], on Flickr [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/16408931@N03/11350712705/][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/16408931@N03/11350712705/]dec13 164[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/16408931@N03/]kevin.ahern[/url], on Flickr

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1386755174' post='2303959'] I am in charge of stops in our band. Nobody stops unless i lift the neck of my bass up. We have the same problem with Town Called Malice. Our drummer would always stop for the bass solo end of second verse instead of after the M8, resulting in the song only lasting about a minute and a half!! [/quote] We have the same problem with Malice , so we don't have the solo anymore , we then wait till the guitarist brings us back in as no one seems ready for the verse without a decent string bend , so sometimes he leaves us carrying on and has a bit of a laugh with us

Help out a BC member - ALL DONE, THANKS EVERYONE!

I have 2 home made cabs MTH30's ( discussed here [url="http://notroubleit.com/forum/38-hosted-plans/6299-mth-30?limit=6&start=102"]http://notroubleit.c...mit=6&start=102[/url] ) and I am sure elsewhere . they are loaded with the 12 inch Precision Devices drivers in the title ( info here [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/precision_devices_pd12sb30.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...es_pd12sb30.htm[/url] ) The cabs are part carpeted and look OK ish , but are solidly built and braced, and perform great just not particularly well upholstered and a bit cumbersome though not overly heavy. They are pretty much unused and have seen 2 gigs use. I had great ideas about sound reinforcement etc etc , but for the gigs we do they are OTT, so you can have the lot for £200 or you can have the drivers for £150 on their own for the pair. No photos as I can't get to the things at the moment. collection from Chester if the cabs are wanted, I could probably get the drivers shipped if it came to it , but it seems a shame to split as IIRC the boxes are designed around these drivers . you are free to fight for these and if if a bidding war breaks out I will watch with a big smile

I have 2 of the above that are need of attention , they are the 4 ohm version and are kaput. The horns may be OK as maybe the x-overs but the drivers ( 15 scorpions I think) need the voice coil kit sorting I believe. they are good for boxes , repairing , dismantling , rabbit hutches , or even just to fill a space in the garage, thats what I have been using them for , so , I think it is someone elses turn now . first shout gets them , pick up only I guess, Chester area, But I do want them gone , I hope to get some new stuff to fill the space in the garage that these should leave .

Yep , Thanks a big one on that, I use(d) the free version for ages but had issues on 64bit Reaper and it made the whole process a right pain, This one is brilliant , plays straight off, so many options , the mixer is ace and the whole shebang is really intuitive . I even got a phone call from the states checking that everything went well with the purchase , excellent .
-
There is Vat at 22% on that price , I suppose that still makes it cheap though .
-
Good call on that one, I think it was K12 we used last time , so it makes sense to use it again .
-
Well done Spoombung , excellent piece , And thanks for the votes on mine , greatly appreciatted .

Please help me choose what to sell in a hurry
lurksalot replied to BassTractor's topic in General Discussion
best wishes Bert , Announcing that you are desperate to move the stuff may mean you get some silly low offers , spread the sales as best you can and I hope you get what you need from them . -
well played Paul , I will be getting stuck in aswell

most gigged/ used bass guitar is probably a bit vague to have definitive numbers thrown at it to validate it against another bass ,for instance Dave Peacock ( Chas and Dave) seems to have clocked up a few gigs with the same bass. Maybe the record attempt title needs to reflect the nature of the record a bit closer . I think to actually have a record attempt you would have to do it at something like the bass show and organise it with agreed rules so that the criteria for playing was agreed , then have all the visitors play it and pass it on , but all at one location and on the one day within a specific time period , and then it can be suitably adjudicated , every entrant to pay £2 to the charity etc or something along those lines .
