i remember someone saying rics were "the gypsy caravan" of bass, can't remember who but that made me chuckle!

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1417719716' post='2623473'] I had a 610HLF and it was the fasted cab I've moved on. I found it very un-musical. I bought without trying first and I'd not do that again. [/quote] course its unmusical, its supposed to demolish small countries or something innit?

got a viet head and a us cab, sounds ace to me but not heard a us head so don't know how different/better they sound.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1417635304' post='2622565'] Its better to play with a dodgy singer than a dodgy drummer [/quote] mmmmmmmmmmmm!

yep thats why i got a 4ohm cab, dont want to be replacing valves at god knows what cost!

sorry to be a bore but OBBM are frickin' ace.

love my classic, insanely deep so yours must sound mental. I love the fact mine isn't heavy at all compared to my old warwick 410 cab which weighed a ton, now get yourself a proper head and you're sorted!

dude, its over, forget about her, dry yer eyes maaaate!!...sorry...plenty more fish in the sea, time the great healer etc etc etc...

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1417347618' post='2619321'] anymore on the list?? [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/sourgrapeskingstonuponthames?page=songs"]http://www.lemonrock...ames?page=songs[/url] [/quote] ooo there's 4 on there...

have found since using all tube amp that i don't really need compression so much, does anyone have an explanation for this?

coke and meth probably. still alive mind, unlike so many others who died too young

a barefaced midget sounds the ticket. With regard to cranking it a bit, Ive run my P passive through the -15db active input and cranked the gain to get a bit of grit without too much volume, not sure if thats advisable per se but its still working!

Alright chaps and chap-esses? Ive got one awesome bass sitting in my dinning room here in sunny Teignmouth waiting to head off on its next journey, anyone fairly localish gigging in the next couple of weeks I can hand onto? Raised £30.75 last time, lets keep this thing going! Please PM if you're available. cheers!

sounds like its not you who's the problem mate! Drums, guitars too loud?

Dave Hall mate, and he's based down here so support your local pedalman! seriously, consider the VT2, its a beast but sounds so fat and warm, and the 2 tube option really lets you dial in a cracking overdrice, nice DI out as well, its all i use into the desk on small pub gigs, leave the rig at home! http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page18.html

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1416747512' post='2613095'] Also get it in black. White looks so semi-pro!!!!!! [/quote] sooo this!!

well if you want to add another cab at a later date you're probably better off with the 8 ohm cab as 2 x 8ohm cabs goes down to a 4 ohm load on the amp, whereas 2 x 4 ohm cabs goes down to a 2 ohm load on your amp and quite a few amps only go down to 4 ohms rather than 2. Theres not a massive difference in volume between 8 and 4 ohm cabs IMO. Does that make sense?, Im crap at explaining stuff. Just to confuse matters further, if your amp is solid state, what i just said is fine but if its a valve head, you should put it with whatever the amp says it should be paired with

[quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1416697603' post='2612809'] Thinking about getting some new lights. Like the look of these LED jobs, do any of you mount them on your PA stands in any way? Would be good to not have to have other t-bars etc? J [/quote] velcro on top of the speakers and velcro under the light bar, lights sit on top of speakers and more secure than gaffa tape

great! thanks for the heads up

London calling...

best delay i ever had was an analogue BYOC , cost me £60 on ebay like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BYOC-analogue-delay-effects-pedal-true-bypass-/301397180301?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item462cabff8d good value phaser, again ebay, analogue Pearl phaser from the 1980's, about £60 like this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Japanese-Pearl-Phaser-PH-03-/251669781569?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3a98b01c41"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3a98b01c41[/url] not a fan of digital...

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1416311284' post='2608853'] Good rant, with plenty of nails hit fair and square on the head. I've never been a big fan of 'pub culture' and you've pretty much summarised why, especially the environmental points. I suspect this is a big contributory factor to the rise in coffee shop popularity in recent years. [/quote] maybe I should start phoning round the coffee shops and tearooms for a gig!!!!

have a look here http://www.lemonrock.com/venues.php and type in thge area you're looking to play in with say a 30 mile radius. You should see the most active gigging venues with contact details. Good Luck

something to do with wattage and decibels being linear...or something?.....doesnt the wattage have to be 10 times as big to just double the DB level, or am i talking tosh?
