    Still got this to sell.

    tbh, most of our riders end up coming in the day before sometimes! Big bands will probably be a bit more organised though!

    Weirdest riders we've had at our venue have included glow-in-dark condoms as well as dildos and lube.

    [quote name='51m0n' post='1263768' date='Jun 10 2011, 11:38 AM']No not true, USB suffers in the same way as PATA harddrive drive interfaces in that it requires some CPU and that can become an issue when you start pushing (under certain circumstances not very) hard and you get close to the limit of bandwidth when the CPU is busy.[/quote] But generally speaking...

    [quote name='fatgoogle' post='1263320' date='Jun 9 2011, 09:39 PM']" Even though and this is something i wonder myself, because it usb, and im under the impression that with usb you cant record nultiple tracks in the one go. So whats the point in having multiple input usb interfaces. Or can you record multiple tracks with usb now."[/quote] You can record multiple tracks, and always have been able to. There is no limit on the amount of channels. All that limits a USB connection is the bandwidth, which is 400mbps I believe.

    I meant your 104 traveler cab for my orange sp210 cab. I already have a head I do have another head that we could include in the deal if you that's what you need rather than a cab (or as well as)? It's an Ashdown Little Giant 350.
  8. Bankai
    Would sell at £120 if split. It's an 8 Ohm 200W RMS cab.

    I can't think of any that actually work as a standalone unit and will store on the device, so you'd need to be using it in conjunction with a computer. But, Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Very good and flexible. It is firewire rather than USB though.

    Straight trade with an Orange SP210? I bought it second hand a couple of months ago for £370 off here. The SP210 being the absolutely tiny 2x10 isobaric 600W cab that is pretty hard to come by? Seems to fit the bill as to what you're after!

    Need to sell this very soon so I have some money. I have my new rig now so this doesn't get used at all. [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/ashdown-bass-guitar-amp-rig-lg350-head-and-2-cabs/81794526"]http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/ashdown-...2-cabs/81794526[/url] Have posted it on gumtree but a sale through here will probably be easier! I've moved on to Orange gear so need to sell off my old full stack. What you'll get is: Ashdown Little Giant 350 Head (mounted in a flightcase) Ashdown MAG210T Cab Ashdown MAG115 Cab This is a complete rig, perfect for if you're stepping up to a gigging standard and want to do it with a full stack rather than a small combo. All the kit is in perfect condition, a couple of marks etc. but nothing else. Available immediately and feel free to come over and try before you buy! Collection only as this thing isn't small enough to post easily. Looking for £350 for the whole setup. I'm moving house back to Epsom later so today is the last day it is in Bournemouth so if you're local and want a cheap rig then get in quick!

    How long is the multicore?

    Hiya. I use the full version of Logic and would definitely recommend it. However, as you're just starting out then Logic Express would be the perfect solution! As for hardware, I personally use a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. I'd highly recommend it and it would suit what you want, however if you want to save then perhaps consider one of the cheaper models in the Saffire Pro range Alternatively a MOTU or an M-Box would be suitable.

    He always used to be an Ampeg guy. Glad to see he's still using Thunderbirds though! I had to go somewhere yesterday, otherwise I would definitely have come
  16. Bankai
    Would recommend either an e602 II or alternatively a D112 personally.

    I shall enquire. Can you PM me with rough dates when you could do it?

    Looked at your link and my german speaking abilities tell me that this wouldn't be right for bass cabs at all. It's basically AKG's version of the Shure 55SH (The classic silver microphone used by Elvis). Designed for vocals and spoken word only really.

    My first bass was a Shine Extreme Series 845. Very very tasty, obviously not going to be as good as a £400+ bass but definitely good as a starter/intermediate player!

    I think that'd be a gig to get the whole London crowd in for! Three basschat bands, one night? I could try and organise something longer if you think it'd work, during the day we have bassmeet:london and then in the evening we have you three playing? Perfect?

    [quote name='Truckstop' post='1177199' date='Mar 26 2011, 02:40 PM']Are wireless systems worth it? I don't envisage playing large stages/venues yet. Would it beneficial for me to spend money on a wireless system? Will they reproduce my sound faithfully?[/quote] Wireless systems are amazing and are really handy. Besides making you awesome and able to walk out in to the audience and keep on playing, they allow you to sound check whilst off stage thus preventing you from ruining an entrance! Decent wireless systems will remain neutral, and transmit the full frequency range of your guitar/bass. DO not skimp otherwise you'll end up with bad results. Moving on to transmission range etc, then most will be alright, just make sure to put your receiver in an appropriate position! The Bankai personal recommendation for wireless systems is Line 6. Their digital kits are truely brilliant and are the choice of most touring bands I work with. Unparalleled transmission quality I tell you!

    [quote name='Truckstop' post='1177199' date='Mar 26 2011, 02:40 PM']would there be an advantage in using a Sansamp DI (for example)[/quote] Normal DI boxes are designed to take a neutral signal without colouring it and therefore the sound you'll get from them will be very different to what the amp will usually produce. Therefore a Sansamp is a very good choice if you're going to use a DI as it gives you gain and modelling control on it so you can set up a nice tone.

    [quote name='Truckstop' post='1177199' date='Mar 26 2011, 02:40 PM']My GK has a DI, would there be an advantage in using a Sansamp DI (for example) in conjunction with the GK? Is the purpose of owning an external DI is for people that don't have a DI on their amps? I always get confused as to why people buy them! I love the sound I get from my GK and Ampeg cab, so I would like to stay as true to that as possible.[/quote] The reason for using a DI box is to protect against failure and the bassist himself. 1. If your amp fails and you're using a DI box, all you'll lose is your on-stage sound and maybe a bit out front. If you're using the built in DI on your amp, you'll lose everything! 2. If you're using a DI in your head, every time you change your gain or EQ (unless the DI is set to pre-EQ) then it'll mess up the sound out front.

    [quote name='Truckstop' post='1177317' date='Mar 26 2011, 04:13 PM']are SM57's good for miking cabs?[/quote] Guitar cabs. Yes Bass cabs. No If you're going to be using a microphone on your bass cab, then you'll want to use it only in conjunction with a DI. And that would preferably be from a DI box or if you don't have one, a DI from your head but is should be pre-EQ etc. You then balance this clean DI signal from your guitar with the microphone in front of the cab to give you a really nice sound. The DI will bring the sound of the guitar, and the mic will bring the sound of the cab. My personal recommendation for a microphone to use for this would be a Sennheiser e602 II or second choice; an AKG D112. The e602 also works very well on bass drum (sounds really fat and deep) whereas the D112 will do it, but make the drum sound like one from the 80s, all clicky and what.
