Merton

Bought a set of DR HiBeams off Gilles, he even stuck spare BADG strings in for free, top fella! Many thanks for a smooth and easy transaction

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='1196726' date='Apr 12 2011, 12:53 PM']It does.........apart from the cost. 500 notes. Ouch![/quote] Ah yes, forgot that one GK MB200 is a good suggestion too, just over £200...

[quote name='Ashdown Engineering' post='1196330' date='Apr 11 2011, 10:38 PM']yes it isn't fully parametric but the controls do all interact with one another hence us describing it as semi parametric, we will however now simply describe it as an interactive eq if this will make people happier ;-)[/quote] Brilliant of you to come on and answer this thread, nice one I don't have aproblem with it being called semi parametric (because it is), I have a problem with that being labelled as "7-band" when it really is only 4 band EQ, of which three are semi parametric Looking forward ot trying one out

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1190832' date='Apr 6 2011, 07:01 PM']It's not just Eminence, it's anyone and everyone that uses neodymium - neo loudspeakers, electric motors, generators, etc. The result for us is that prices are going up and may continue to go up. If the cost of neo goes stupid high then we'll look into comparable quality ferrite drivers, which would make the cabs heavier but still as light as most other neo cabs are now.[/quote] That's what I figured, but had to ask the question

Is the fact that Eminence is involved going to screw Barefaced as well?

[quote name='ingenius' post='1190659' date='Apr 6 2011, 04:40 PM']MMM i am thinking this but the Ricky isnt really old, and has hardly been used before i got it.. it just seems a bit too coincidental that both basses have the exact same fault and behave in exactly the same way. Dont get me wrong if i have to pay to have rewires and improved sheilding i will.. but i really want to be certain. regards Keith M[/quote] It's not a fault per se, more a "feature" of passive basses. You can improve it but may not ever fully remove the buzz, sorry!

[quote name='ingenius' post='1190570' date='Apr 6 2011, 03:01 PM']Good Afternoon Guys, I was wondering if anybody who may live near to me ( Widnes cheshire ) ,would be willing to loan me a bass head even if only for a hour. The Story : I have a TC RH450 and my 2 passive basses a 2005 Ricky and a 1997 De-armond starfire hum badly unless you turn up the volume to full on both pick-ups or touch the strings. My 2 active basses, a 2009 sandberg JJ california and a MM stingray 2007 are fine. I have e-mailed Tc support and they reckon its the basses fault, but i would like a sanity check as i find it a bit too coincidental that 2 basses are at fault.[/quote] Sounds to my like a grounding issue on your passive basses, they are (IME) more prone to this anyway.

[quote name='FlatEric' post='1184653' date='Apr 1 2011, 01:07 PM']For what it's worth. . . . I have a Status Shark and a Groove. Both are really nice basses. The Groove is VERY nice and if it wasn't for the fact that I am trying to cure my NAS (Noah's Ark Syndrome) I would have this in a flash. Top quality, beautiful neck, balances well, nice weight, great sounds. . . I could go on and on. Cheers. [/quote] Me too.... agree with your comments. Always regretted selling my Groove 5er (madness) but still have a fretless (the last "real" Groove out of the factory, wooden neck as opposed to the three which followed with graphite necks) and now have a Shark 5er which I love too. They are both so... playable. Fantastic basses [quote name='Conan' post='1184770' date='Apr 1 2011, 02:27 PM']What is the tone of these things like? Looking at the pickup arrangement, I'm guessing that they might be slightly Stingray-like?[/quote] Yep, spot on. But (IMHO) they sound sweeter and play better than Stringrays.

Someone nabbed a bargai there, this is by far and away my favourite bass combo ever. Almost went for it myself

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1188431' date='Apr 4 2011, 10:27 PM']So tempting - can you plug an MP3 player in?[/quote] Yep Aux in mini jack round the back! [quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1188440' date='Apr 4 2011, 10:30 PM']Are you loving it? Knew you would![/quote] Hell yes.

[quote name='TheRev' post='1188377' date='Apr 4 2011, 09:37 PM']I know that GK amp is teeny tiny, but it makes it look like you're using a cab with a 6 foot diameter speaker.[/quote] Ha! Crazy, isn't it? I have a pic of it on a student's Eden N8 combo and even that dwarfs it!!

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1188338' date='Apr 4 2011, 09:10 PM']Been GASsing for that too Merton...damn you too!! [/quote] Mark @ Bass Direct should have one in stock Alan, you know you want to.....

Just joined this club too, with the amazing GK MB200

Here's mine, ok the cab is a big speaker but it's a small cab for the 15" driver (and it's in dire need of a re-fin coz the gaffa tape looks sh*t, haha!) Amp is an amazing bit of kit, loud, punchy, loads of bottom end. Haven't used it with a band yet, mind, but it seems to have oodles of power for such a dinky thing. What I *really* want to do is try the MB200 with my Vintage. Bet that will be fantastic

7 band semi parametric EQ?? I think not. It's really 4 band of which 3 bands have sweepable frequencies

[quote name='Bottle' post='1187566' date='Apr 4 2011, 11:22 AM']Nice idea, but I'm struggling to see a real benefit to this, bearing in mind that a laptop/netbook + USB interface + headphones solution has been around for years, and would in all likelyhood, work out a lot cheaper. Ian[/quote] I have a laptop and an iPad, the iRig and GK app totalled less than £30. Out of interest how much would a USB interface cost for the lappy? (My laptop is also sh*t though...)

[quote name='Musky' post='1185459' date='Apr 2 2011, 12:47 AM']I just noticed the reference to the "7 band semi parametric EQ". Don't the people who write this stuff actually look at the pictures of what they're describing, or is that they just don't know what a 7 band semi parametric EQ looks like? Actually I think the same description was given on the LG as well.[/quote] Indeed, it was wrong for the LG and it's wrong now... Ah well. These things are about the same size as the GK MB200, yet pack in more power (in the 550W silver guise at least). I wonder if they'll sound as good...
