what size kit does your drummer use/ sensible volume
Delberthot replied to bassjim's topic in General Discussion
I played with a drummer for years that I thought was fantastic and I used to wear earplugs on stage Turns out the more I think about it, he couldn't control his volume despite being a drum tutor and used to hit his drums hard because he hadn't bothered to learn how to play quietly - if any one of us commented on how loud he was he'd go in a strop and actually left the band once because of it. We all had to turn up to his level which meant that it was deafening on stage. Thankfully he eventually did leave permanently. My current drummer is amazing and she know how to play to a room of any size - now that's a good drummer in my opinion. Obviously playing in time and all of the things you'd expect a drummer to be able to do as well. Oh, and I don't need to wear earplugs on stage any more so I can hear everything properly again And we're having a ball on stage because we aren't in pain with the volume and having to cope with a childish drummer's tantrums -
Fantastic. I have the same but with rosewood fretboard. Love it

I was 16 in 1991 and a school friend gave me copies of: Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese Chilis - Blood Sugar Sex Magik Faith No More - The Real Thing At 16 these three bands blew my mind. I hadn't heard anything like it before and they're still 3 of my favourite bands to this day

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1471935486' post='3117006'] Plenty of speakon to jack connectors out there these days. Some speakon amp sockets will accept jack cables as well but I can't remember exactly which ones off the top of my head [/quote] The combo sockets are usually a dark green colour

[quote name='P Kool B' timestamp='1471805906' post='3116043'] After having a listen online (I know, not the perfect way to find out the sounds of amps), I'm torn between the GK mb200 (because cheap), GK mb Fusion, and Aguilar Tonehammer. I LOVE the Tech21 micro amp, BUT the sound would just not fit. Thing is, if I got the mb200, I could possibly afford a little cab for home use too. The possibilities. [/quote] If you have the money then I would go for what you like rather than go by price. I had £900 ready to spend on an amp and went for one of the cheapest ones on my list because I believe that it was the best one for me in my current situation

I must be one of the lucky ones. We just have a good laugh, try to blag free tea and get friendly with whoever is in charge of the venue. I'm at the stage of my musical career where I am having a complete ball I must admit, and i think it's the adrenalin, that I have to sit down until it's time to play, otherwise I wander up and down the room constantly

Fantastic basses these. When I had mine rumour was that these had Geddy Lee necks as production had just moved to Mexico from Japan -
My new amp and cab arrived at the end of last week but today is the first chance I've had to try them out [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/14089238_186834378388756_330157803568661876_n_zpsouj6rnhg.jpg.html"][/url] The velcro around the head and cab looked better in my head than it does in practice so I might think about another way to permanently attach the two together Sound wise it is incredible. I had to flick the -10dB button as the Sterling was overdriving the preamp but there's still plenty of volume on tap for gigs.

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1471727116' post='3115442'] I agree completely. I'm a recent MB200 convert. I originally bought it purely as a backup, but as soon as I tried it, I was amazed at the tone and volume. It's such a useful little amp. Paired with a Barefaced one10 it makes a brilliant rehearsal and small gig rig - tone to die for! It's a very capable amp and if you think 200 watts is puny, you'd be pleasantly surprised by the MB200. Frank. [/quote] My MB200 & One10 cab arrived at the end of the week and I've just had the chance to try it all out. It sounds incredible. Proper GK tone, can't wait until my next gig

Open to offers on these strings and the pedals I am selling within reason -
I found the Steve Harris ones to be crazy high tension but if you drop them a semi tone they are fantastic. I had them on a single coil precision and they were ace.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1471379518' post='3112715'] Not all flats are the same. Some, like D'Addario, are very tight, GHS Precision Flats, Pryamid and Laklands are lower tension, Thomastiks are even lower. And that's before you even start with nylon flats! [/quote] I don't find D'addarios to be that high tension - even the heavy E string I use

Received my MB200 today and it's hard to imagine how this teeny thing is going to be loud enough. Alex said last week that my cab would be ready to ship out either yesterday or today so I'm hoping that I am going to receive an email tomorrow saying that it's on its way I have a couple of weeks before our next gig so plenty of time to play about with it first.

Trace 1048 & 1084 cabs used 32 ohm drivers. They're still available [url="https://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=1747"]here[/url]. No idea if they are close as far as spec goes though -
Chris bought my Fender Rumble combo at the end of last week. Well things couldn't have gone any smoother. Thoroughly nice chap that I wouldn't hesitate to sell to or buy from again. Enjoy the Rumble mate

I was contacted by Max who has been a member for a few years but who plays mainly guitar to buy my Microthumpinator. Max hadn't bought anything on here before as far as I was aware so I wanted to establish whether he was trustworthy, which is something that a lot of us who have been members for years take for granted when dealing with each other. After a few PMs I got the distinct impression that I could trust him so agreed to a sale using Paypal which I don't normally take. Absolutely no problems at all with Max. Everything went very smoothly and I'd happily buy from or sell to again. Top banana

... the day I got caught! (Stingray preamp battery)
Delberthot replied to mcnach's topic in General Discussion
I buy my AAs from a seller on Ebay and change them every gig in my wireless. Duracell Industrial ones. I used to be forever looking at the LEDs on the receiver and then working out when I could change them but that wore thin very quickly. Works out at about 50p a gig to put them in and forget about them. I put a Duracell in my Sterling when I got it at the end of March and probably won't change it until the same time next year in time for the wedding season gearing up again. I do keep a spare at hand along with a spare cable, strings, spanners, Leatherman, strap, underpants and all those other things that us bass players carry that no other member of the band does -
Based on recommendations here and elsewhere on forums and Youtube I've decided to order the MB200 Thanks for all of the help

I had intended to use this with my Barefaced One 10 and whatever amp I eventually decide to go for but I think I'd like to keep my setup as simple as possible so have decided to let someone else have the use of it instead. The label on the top is slightly peeling but it's still tip top and has velcro on the bottom ready to attach to your pedalboard. I am looking for £80 posted or best offer [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC_0074_zpsjvqqqkbe.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/DSC_0072_zpsqaddjwnf.jpg.html"][/url] -
I have a bit of OCD regarding amps and generally only buy new. Most issues with basses can be fixed in a few minutes but an amp has to be sent away or taken to a repair guy. I know new amps can go on the blink too but I like to think that there is less chance of it happening than with a secondhand one, although this isn't always the case. I've decided that it's really Gallien Krueger that I want so have put a wanted ad on here for an MB200, MB500 or MB 500 Fusion and take it from there. I have a rare couple of weeks between gigs to get something sorted out. Thanks to everyone for all of the help

Cool Maybe it's time to think about others not on my list. The only thing is that unless it's Ampeg or Ashdown then it's difficult to try any of those other brands out first. I am now going to look at: Eich T 300 Taurus BL450 Gallien Krueger MB Fusion Bugera Veyron 1001T And then part of me says "just get a Gallien Krueger 700RB II". It is a lot bigger and heavier than the others, I can't sit it on top of my new cab and I'd have to keep using my stand for it but I know this amp, I know how good it is and I know that I'm not going to get exactly the same sound from any of the MB series

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1471071109' post='3110299'] Be aware there are some people reading Basschat who like nothing better than to drop those named players a heads up.

I got these recently but have succumbed to the lure of going back to the familiar Chromes so these are up for grabs. Factory fresh in their original packaging I am looking for £18 posted [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0059_zpsywnirta1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0060_zpson8vmzoq.jpg.html"][/url]

In my continued rationalisation of everything I own, I have the following pedals for sale that I am never going to use. [s]First up is a Chord FL-50 flanger. Comes in it's original box and in good condition with no velcro or anything on it. I'm looking for £20 posted [/s] SOLD [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0058_zps67ryuzxm.jpg.html"][/url] Next up is a GLX Bass Overdrive and said to be a clone of the Boss one. Again, good condition. In fact I don't actually recall ever using it but I don't have the box for some reason £20 posted for this one as well [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0006_zpsiszj7zjy.jpg.html"][/url] Next is a Line 6 Space Chorus that I took in a trade recently but ended up not using. It's a fairly chunky beast of a thing and comes with a Line6 power supply. Looking for £40 for this one [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0024_zpsoatjk22x.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0023_zpsbjtvimdw.jpg.html"][/url] Lastly, taken in the same trade, is a One Spot combo pack containing the power supply with extra long lead and all of the adaptors to connect to different brands of pedals. Looks to be pretty much brand new. [s]Looking for £20 posted for this one as well[/s] - SOLD [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0027_zpsybts26i5.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0028_zpswxwnugpr.jpg.html"][/url] -
Thanks for the info everyone. I think now I'm down to the MB200 and for only £60 more I could have the Peavey Minimax but it's quite a bit bigger and 3+ times the weight
