Ironically I took an interest in this thread as it was an unusual concept that Inhadnt experience or heard of... However I changed my strings from light's to mediums today and my D string is phasing!!!! Definitely no twist. It's sat firmly in the nut with no issues. I'll try the pickup height tomorrow and if it's still there then the lights are going back on!! Shep

Bought a cab from Ant. Other than the couriers being sh*te and making life hard everything went fine and communication (and packaging) was spot on! Cheers chap Shep

[quote name='whizzzy' post='1087990' date='Jan 13 2011, 01:56 PM']Another thing to check is the flexible wiring between the chassis of the speaker and the cone. Sometimes they are situated at such an angle where they rattle when the cone is moving. Gently move the two wires where they connect to the terminal post or tag strip by about 3 - 4mm and see if this resolves the problem.[/quote] Either my ears have just heard enough bass today or thats worked! Certainly seems to of stopped. I'll keep an eye on it though for a couple days. Cheers folks!

Its not my week with amps and cabs. Received an EBS 410 today. It was fine when it left the sender and arrived with me with an odd issue The top right of the 4 drivers has a strange overdrive to it… At first listen it sounds like a vibration, but on lower notes or with the volume turned up its like having an overdrive pedal with a blend and letting about 10% fuzz through… I have checked everything is tight and am certain it is not a vibration. I've also taken the driver out and there is no noticeable damage it physically. Unlike normal damaged speakers this driver is letting the full original signal though, but as an extra layer there is this very feint fuzz. Putting you ear up to each driver in turn reveals the sound is coming from just this one. I imagine many people wouldn't even notice it in a rock band setting, but its definitely there. When you sustain a note and it starts to trail off it almost sounds as though that fuzz layer is shifting in pitch or phasing… its hard to put my finger on it but reminds me of using my Moog FreqBox ith only 10% wet signal. I'll be claiming from the courier but not sure its going to go anywhere so prob looking at a new driver from EBS… but before I do that, anyone else experienced anything similar?

After 5 mins of running the amp i have noticed 2 things… 1. the buzz is still there but has grown quieter. 2. The fan seems far far louder than normal.

It does it everywhere in the house. Tried another amp and that has no buzz. Somewhere between leaving the house yesterday and coming back today it has developed it.

Hi folks, Yesterday my amp ran silent. It went out to the studio with me yesterday and back last night. Having plugged it in this morning where it usually sits at home, same power socket, same cab, cables everything it has a low level electrical mains hum style noise through the speakers. The odd thing about this, is that the hum gets quieter the higher you turn up the amp volume, being loudest when the amp volume is at zero or the amp is on standby, then completely vanishing if the volume is turned to max. Ive tried different speaker leads, power sockets, a different cab… etc etc etc Any ideas?

Admins report nothing going on and we can't track anything down that could be causing it. I keep an eye on it over the next day or two though...

[quote name='bartelby' post='1087263' date='Jan 12 2011, 09:22 PM']But you forgot to change it in the quote in your post. [/quote] Fail!

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1087234' date='Jan 12 2011, 09:05 PM']D'oh! I'm being thick here! You mean 50 posts & you can post in that thread? I read it as you could only post 50 times in that section I'm such a phallus [/quote] 3,129

[quote name='tarcher' post='1087148' date='Jan 12 2011, 08:03 PM']So if you join the forum but don't post but just read,then decide to use the ebay links the computers going to say "No". Doesn't seem right to me. There are people I'm sure that just aren't "Chatty Man". Still your forum your rules.[/quote] The links will still work... Everyone can link and read. What has been proposed is that member who I've made less than 50 posts are unable to post a thread in the eBay forum. This is to avoid the larger number of people that join the forum, post a link to thier eBay sale and then vanish never to be seen again - or at least until they have something else to sell. 50 posts on Basschat is easily achieved and even the casual basschatter will have that many post after browsing the forum for a while... But it's enough that people visiting purely to advertise thier wares will be unable to do so. Shep Ps. BurritoBass - you have posted 3,128 times so no worries about being under the 50 post requirement

If you could control multiple parameters on Foogers with one cable imagine what you could do with the MP-201! I have 3 Foogers, 2 of which hooked up to the 4 channels of the MP-201. Imagine being able to run one pedal off each channel and effect all parameters of that pedal... Your never need another effect pedal! Shep

Bought my USB Fast-Track. Easy transaction and constant communication. Cheers bud. Shep

Certainly nothing I've experienced or had any reports of... I'll check with the powers that be and make sure there hasn't been anything happening in the background! Shep

Sooooo many threads on this if you flick back over the pages. My vote goes to 3Leaf Groove Regulator... And now the GR2 is out I'd go for that (same pedal with blend)... Bonus is Bass Direct now stock it. I imported mine from the US and don't regret it one bit. Fat, deep and funky. Shep

Theres plenty of advice around... Best really is to try every combo and see which sounds best for you. The 'industry standard' is... Compression - High gain pedals - lower gain pedals - wah/envelope - chorus/flanger/Trem - delay But, some pedals sound better before or after others. There is no right or wrong so try all the combinations until you settle on one that suits you Shep

Really glad this thread is still going. Sooooo much cool stuff.

Interesting read as always Dan (sorry you miss the BMS... I'm taking care of her).
