I love Barefaced cabs.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1380530566' post='2226497'] I can't see this happening with Sandberg... [/quote] To be fair, its not fair comparing the small independent luthier with the likes of cnc based sandberg...

Acs custom!

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1380308460' post='2223710'] To answer your question simply, no, and any bass you think looks good when you're holding it will look good hanging up. [/quote] Roscoe LG. Looks sh*t on the wall. Looks awesome when strapped on you.

Quite excited - I have been auditioning a truck load of iems against my T1s. Looking forward to some JHA16 action... my credit card is trembling. How this came about is that I was talking about ACS and the T1s, (being more than peeved that the ambient system still hasn't materialised) and I started thinking, given what the retail price on these ambient systems are reporting to be, it may aswell be prudent to look at other IEMs to gauge how good my ACS T1s fair against some of the real top end IEMs. I haven't missed the ambient sound at this stage - I thought I would (hence my want of the ambient system)... so thought I would investigate just how good the quality of the sound coming from the ACS really is and maybe rethink. Who knows...

That's grand... but he did say he wanted custom wording...

Invest in a decent DI, or even better, a decent mic pre/channel strip that you can use for a whole load of things. Alot of bass players will bring their own amp if they give a crap. Having said that, the DI on an amp is unlikely to be as good as a dedicated DI... and if you want to mic a cab, that opens up a whole argument and expense about mics. There's always the option of reamping anyway (record direct then feed that back through an amp on playback and recording the amp's output). For that, these are quite cool - [url="http://www.orchid-electronics.co.uk/Amp_Interface.htm"]http://www.orchid-electronics.co.uk/Amp_Interface.htm[/url] I would suggest against something like a B15. It was the go to amp... but they just aren't versatile enough to cope with the wide style of bass playing nowadays.

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1380105906' post='2220783'] Cheers matey, now if someone could just buy all the tat I've got listed on here I can go and get me one [/quote] GAS list update required...

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1380105765' post='2220778'] Ive been using a old AKG system for years and never had any drop outs, although i have had the battery drop out a few times lol. i did think it could be to do with wifi, as i had read there can be issues, but the venue i was in had no wifi connections available, not even from other buildings, so i think it was the phone causing this. Andy, the G30 is really nice, and so easy to use. [/quote] Presumably the AKG was analogue running on the old deregulated band though? Not prone to drop out, more prone to static!

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1380102339' post='2220711'] I've not done many gigs with my recently purchaed G30 system, but in the few I have it's worked really well, and seems to have brought out some of the highs I've never head with my old system. One strange things though, at one gig it cut out for about a second. This seemed to coincide with my iPhone receiving a text. The phone was very close to the receiver. Might be a coincidence but I'm not taking any chances and I'll keep the two well away from each other. [/quote] Bringing out the highs is really noticable when you switch. Some guitarists hate that though - they rely on the capicitance of the cable to get "their" tone... hence the cable tone feature built into some of these devices (nothing amazing - they are just treble roll off like you'd get on a passive bass). 2.4Ghz can be a little prone to interference - basically from wifi and phones. It kinda surprises me with a text - but when you think about it, it's understandable as I'm sure heard with heard phone interference when placed next to electronics. We've had the DWZ complain about RF intereference - yet it didn't actually have any impact on the performance. I know that some guys have stated that there can be issues in conference centres and hotel rooms with wireless networks... but I have to say, I've played a lot, a lot, a lot of these venues and I've never experienced any drops outs. (Mind you, we could be playing havoc with their network !) I've had Shure's wireless workbench out a few times - it's interesting to see how dirty the airwaves can be.

Just adding to the list - Audio-Technica System 10 Sax player has just bought one for his DPA mic. Looks to be good at the moment - and a great price being digital for circa 200 pounds. Probably worth investigating... I've not spend any time with it, so can't comment much further... but it seems to undercut most of the competition and is probably a direct competitor to the Line G6 G30... but without the battery door issue/non issue associated with the G30.

and all going out some Behringer monitors? Have to admit, always found that a bit crazy with RB's dance studio - cool room, with a huge array of Behringer PA to the left and right of the stage? Hope they recover it... or at least are well insured Always liked Rich Bitch - spent many hours there... never a fan of the parking though!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1380019671' post='2219514'] What on earth is a "woodworm Telecaster"? [/quote] Woodworm was the logo on the headstock that Rob Williams used to use before using his signature. Looked well tacky.

When I went to see Queen (or 1/2 of Queen) with Paul Rogers, I seem to recall at least two Vox AC30s being swapped... mind you, that doesn't surprise me... doesn't BM run his collection of Voxii flat out?

[quote name='marcus bell' timestamp='1379531315' post='2213867'] An ebs rig, Dr strings, jazz bass with an active circuit and the touch of a genius [/quote] Pretty much. A HD350 and TD650 through a 4x10, with a jazz bass, pretty much instant marcus. Even passive jazzes with the character switch engaged on the amp will put you in the ballpark.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1379359202' post='2211794'] the Q-tron is the closest copy of the Mu-tron sound. [/quote] huh?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1379505905' post='2213417'] Yes yes yes! [/quote] OK! OK! OK! I take it you aren't going out the house at the moment then?

Mate I'll drop in some A&W goodness for you - if I can get some time to get across to you this week!

Pricey beast but impressive 2ohm figures from a class D amp. (that's assuming it's not a stereo amp expecting 4ohm on each side) Hate the fact it hasn't got a IEC socket though - if you damage your lead, the likelihood of finding a spare at a gig in the middle of nowhere is pretty slim. At least with IECs, you are likely to find one, somewhere! Looking forward to seeing these in the flesh and hearing what they can do.

Sorry seller... sounds like your comms need to be clearer. If you said you were posting on a set day, problem avoided.

This can be caused by a intermittent ground in the amp. Has the amp ever been serviced? If not, give the amp a good clean and make sure all the screws holding down the boards are tight. There may be some traces of silicone over the screws which is used to keep the screws from turning. The silicone may have broken down. Clean it all off, tighten screws and replace the silicon (clear bath sealant will do it). If the venue electrics are noisy, you may get tweeter crackles. I've played a few venues where you can't do a lot about crackles. Anything with a tweeter (eg PA) can experience this. Dimmers and commercial fridges in close proximity are the top offenders.
