Good man See ya next week, can't wait to try your S12

[quote name='jjl5590' post='1376054' date='Sep 16 2011, 11:10 PM']Oh yeah, don't know why I didn't think of that! But the amp's 500W, so wouldn't I run the risk of blowing the cab?[/quote] Just be sensible with the volume... If it sounds bad turn down [quote]I had a quick look on GAK, couldn't see any small cabs for sale. Also went on the Bass Centre but they don't seem to be selling amps anymore?[/quote] Bass Centre seems to have gone a bit... odd. For a little uni practice cab I'd be tempted by the Eden ENX110 or 112. Only around £200 new and would do the job without shelling out loads.

The GB amp isn't exactly big, just get a small 1x10 or 1x12 cab to take with you as well as that

Sorry you won't make it but thanks for your very generous donations

Our lovely P: And Max:

Just had a load of pics from a wedding we did in June, I like this one:

Have only read the OP and none of the replies (no time!!) but I agree- give me any bass or amp and I'll sound the same. I have very much enjoyed my journey finding gear nirvana bit I bet if you A/B'd my tone now and 5 years ago there wouldn't be much difference... probably just I now have an amp which gives me that tone with very minimal EQ Oh, btw, my sound is "sh*t bassist" EDIT: as for the theory and practice, I did A Level music, lots of grade exams on bass, trombone, piano, French horn... Would like to think I know some stuff, however I'm well aware of my limitations and have many plans to study and fill those gaps in my knowledge/talent. Time however is very precious with a 2yr old son...

Did a gig earlier this year with a buggered neck - had slept badly I think but had severe shooting pains whenever I so much as moved my head. I was totally useless for load in and out, and just stood at a slightly funny angle all night. It did ease off as the night went on, not sure if that was adrenalin or beer though....

The range is t great but it's enough for me to walk ateast 15-20 foot from the stage.[/quote] Cool, cheers. I want mine for much the same reason you have yours do hopefully I'm onto a winner

Two AKG SR40 systems. Why two? I have no idea what frequency our singer's radio mic is so bought both off Jamesemt for 80 quid. They're fixed frequency hence the caution - I'll sell one once I am confident I have a unit which won't interfere There's a very very slight distortion vs a cable but that may just be a new battery required in the bug, will see. I only noticed this as I had an opportunity to A/B at low volume at home but on a gig it absolutely won't be noticeable.

I joined the club yesterday too

[quote name='bertbass' post='1365735' date='Sep 7 2011, 08:41 PM']In an emergency once I used a graphic eq pedal into a power amp and was very surprized by how good it sounded. I've got a Trace Elliott V type preamp but I don't like the sound of Trace Elliott.[/quote] If you don't like it I'll have it....

[quote name='malcolm.mcintyre' post='1363743' date='Sep 6 2011, 08:25 AM']Running them in series will work with any amp, but be prepared for them to sound significantly quieter than one cab on its own[/quote] why? More air being moved.....

[quote name='paul_5' post='1364603' date='Sep 6 2011, 08:53 PM']Ab - 4th fret 'E' string. Lovely sound. Not G# though, that would just be wrong...[/quote]

Brilliant Lee, that's why everyone raves Keep up the good work!

Feel bad I haven't kept up to speed with Chi Cheng, is he still with us and still battling?

Status necks are not tinny and characterless! Not played a Kingbass tho...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1361739' date='Sep 4 2011, 01:23 PM']Hi all! Here's a few clips from a gig I did last night. (snip)[/quote] Sounds great. Damn you P.S. Nice playing too

Here we go, my home practice rig: Yes, that's a little hifi speaker. Sounds ok at home practice volume. Win

Will respond when I can get on my laptop and get screenshots for you
