Not all that many amps can go down to 2 ohms, so that will be your limiting factor probably. I have a Little Mark 2 as my back up. I can get a great sound from that, although i don't use overdrive. Super lightweight and they go for really cheap second hand at the minute

[quote name='markmcclelland' timestamp='1474280456' post='3136687'] You're absolutely right mate. And keep an eye out for the coda which happened exactly a month later so it should pop up on Wordpress in a week or two. And believe me, this was a rare case of me leaving quite a lot out of the story. I could have gone quite a lot further in what I actually told but held back a little. [/quote] Ahhh shame. I like the juicy bits

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1474280834' post='3136696'] Cheers matey, I've been through various sections of that thread a few times on my way to making the decision, plus Kert lives near me so I can tap him up for advice too [/quote] Ha! Well i can offer my experiences and you're more than welcome to try my gear out. But mr EBS_Freak is the yoda of IEMs and can answer any technical questions you may have. It is a great feeling leaving with just a small rucksack and a bass though. Wouldn't be without my IEMs now

This guy sounds bonkers Think your best off rid of him. As much potential as you may have seen, it can't be worth it when he is talking to you/treating you like he was!

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1473870956' post='3133737'] I personally wouldn't want to see or be in a band who bored the pants of a pub crowd with Wayward Son. [/quote] I'm always up for hearing that song if it's done well!! Nailing the harmonies are vital though. Next audition you get, just go for it! I feel you had that thought in your mind you could possibly get to the level otherwise this wouldn't have even been a topic. Stretch yourself. You might well be surprised. Good luck for whatever comes along

I've had a neck reshaped in the past. Got it back and it sounded exactly the same. Now i would maybe buy into it that the thickness/wood of the body would effect the tone......

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1473761526' post='3132802'] Great fun wedding in Oxfordshire. Little audio medley recorded from the night below. For those who look down upon covers bands, don't even bother listening lol - stereotypical covers band content - 1st two songs alone will make you sick!! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eqryETRxcg[/media] [/quote] Nothing wrong with them, they're popular for a reason. Crowds love them. Especially if they're done well. Nice one

Personally I wouldn't drive an hour each way, regularly, for Pub gig type money. That's not t say wouldn't though. I think if you've laid it all out there for him initially, and he I keen, go for it

Seem like a bit of a character!!

Higher and Higher

I started on guitar. Started learning bass. Went back to guitar. Got asked to play bass in a band. Wasnt too keen as i thought of it as "just following the chords". Had a lesson which opened my eyes and ears to the possibilities of what a bass could be and haven't looked back since. I still play guitar in a duo, but bass is 100% my main instrument

I've recently been learning a whole new set, of pretty challenging songs. Well, out of a set of 26 i knew about 6 already, so 20 new songs. Not as many as some of you. But none of them have been "gimmes". All funk soul and disco. Think Jamiroquai etc It's been a challenge for sure but i've enjoyed it. Good songs to learn, great practice working them out. I haven't had too much of a time constraint though. I've got about 8 weeks in all to learn them. Good fun!!

What a situation to find yourself in. Sink or swim!! Love it. Best way to learn fast

Not entirely that accurate. There is a pad on the floor (they range in sizes) but lets say this one is 900cm X 400cm. The dog has to make contact with them, with at least one paw. Can be more too though. It can touch it by running over it, so only briefly depressing the contact. Or it can do a dead stop on them.

It doesn't prove they have put their feet exactly on the contact area. Unless there is a way i could do this that i don't know about? I need it to "prove" that force was applied to that specific contact zone, no matter how briefly. I was also thinking of a reed switch, but i think that might be too big

[list=1] [*] [indent]Hoping I could get some help from some people with more experience in circuitry design. Won't be hard as I don't have much at all!! I don't know if this is something you could help with, and no problem if not, but it could be really useful to me, so any help is certainly appreciated Aside from Bass guitar playing, I am involved in dog training, and one of the issues I have is knowing a dog is, or has been somewhere (a certain contact point) whilst either I am not there, or they are too far away, or moving too fast for me to see. Would be useful in obedience work and working dog trial training. Let me give you an example, I'm training a sheepdog to move to a certain place, but from 800m away. I want to design a circuit that will show me that the dog has stood on the point I'm asking. So maybe a light will illuminate to show me. The output doesn't have to be a light, but can't be a sound, as i don't want the dog to notice it if possible. The proviso's would be that it would need to be thin enough not to protrude too far out of the ground. I don't want the dog to notice it basically, otherwise it will be learning to target the contact sensor rather than just listening to commands. I only need it to show contact. It doesn't need to show varying strength of contact, just on or off (contact met or not). Obviously need to reset it too, and I don't want to be trekking out 800m every time to have to do that if possible. After a little research, I thought a way to do it would be to use a FSR. Mounting four of them on the concerned "contact area". One in each corner, with a small actuator attached to another thin flat hard but flexible material above. That should ensure the design is thin. So I could bury it under some soil with minimal fuss. How would you go about setting up a circuit for this? The simpler the better, as I said, I am a beginner. Thanks in advance for your help [/indent] [indent]If this needs to be somewhere else, i'm happy for it to be moved.[/indent] [/list]

Been away a lot this month sorry people of the noodle bar. Wont be able to get an entry in, but i'll make sure to vote when the time comes

[quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1472374955' post='3120591'] kind of shows up those who have more watts than musical ability......... [/quote] I like that

Do you have pieces of music in mind? How would you want it? One take? Live recorded? Different styles? Do you have charts or sheet music? Sorry for the questions, it's stuff i think people would want to know though

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1472090244' post='3118457'] I had 2 x TKS 112'S and they sounded lovely, but they simply did not have the power to go against mic'd up snare/bass drum and two Black Star'd guitarists. [/quote] Feel sorry for you ears Karl!!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1471934353' post='3116997'] VW is a cracking bass player who [b]plays to the situation he is in[/b]. His clinics and display gigs are full of "circus" bass because that's what is required. [/quote] Yup. He has got fantastic groove!! It's just most of the time people come to see him because of how mesmerising his technique is. To your average musical connoisseur, what do you think will sell more product, or create more hype?

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1471849015' post='3116240'] I like this definition. Despite my original post I do have a Peavey Cirrus which always sounds growly and[b] lacks the thump[/b] and to my ears distinctly less pleasant than the P, My band mates like the sound of it, which is probably why they dont play bass in the first place. [/quote] Boost your lower mids. That's what i do

[quote name='spike' timestamp='1471032460' post='3110175'] Hobbyist here, but gigging enough to make a noticeable difference to my income. Does that make me semi-pro? [/quote] Yup this sums me up really. We gig two or three times a month, mostly weddings. And i'd say we have a professional attitude.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1471560014' post='3114092'] ^^^ I wonder where that's going... Any particular reason why you are particularly interested in buying new? 2nd hand will give you so many other options, and a second hand cab at least has its speaker properly broken in [/quote] ^^ That is basically what i was originally trying to ask before i got barraged with abuse
