  1. [u][quote name='silddx' timestamp='1346802915' post='1793569'] In a Carpenters number, or a Deicide one? [/quote][/u] Fair point, we are a covers band playing the usual Kings of leon, stereophonics, Stone roses, a bit of old Punk and Ska.
  2. [i][size=4]So what level should the kick be compared to the snare.[/size][/i]
  3. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1346801656' post='1793551'] DB needs a weighting. And frequencies effect the meters differently. [/quote]So 90db snare wont be the same as a 90db kick? is there any way round this. Would it be best to just do it by ear then?
  4. [size=4]After reading on here recently about soundchecking, somebody said to get the bass[/size] [size=4]level with the kick drum and the guitar to be on level with the snare.[/size] [size=4]So this is what i thought i would try and do, and would like to know if it makes sense.[/size] [size=4]I have downloaded a db meter to my phone, and will get the bass and guitar levels in [/size] [size=4]line with the drums.[/size] [size=4]However i will need a reference point for the kick drum level against the snare. What is [/size] [size=4]an approximate level of kick compared to the snare? [ in db's][/size] [size=4]After these levels are set, it's just a case of sitting the vocals on top of everything.[/size] [size=4]This will stop the ' im not loud enough, your to loud' arguement, usually started by our guitarist.[/size] [size=4]This should make soundchecking quick and easy.[/size] [size=4]So do you think this is possible, or am i just a gibbering idiot?[/size] [size=4]Cheers Ash.[/size] [size=4] [/size]
  5. [i]Well i think ill put up my lefty thunder 3, must be worth £3000[/i]
  6. [size=4]This is the exact combination i'm hoping to get soon as well. [/size] [size=4]Hope it's a good as everyone says.[/size]
  7. [quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1344426170' post='1764228'] What is the closest aproximation of your "bass face"? Just to kick things off heres my Autistic 6yr old throwing shapes with my Dean Metalman Flying V... [/quote] I have a 3 yr old and an 8 yr old, my living room floor looks like that as well, after a tidy up.
  8. Cheers i'll give it a try. Couldn't find it on you tube or any tab sight.
  9. [size=5]Can anyone help me with the bass intro. Sounds easy enough but [/size] [size=5]i can't figure it out.[/size] [size=5]Cheers Ash.[/size]
  10. [i]We found that during the guitar solos the sound dropped, so i got a Akai Unibass,[/i] [i]which fills out the solos nicely if you keep it nice and simple.[/i]
  11. Molly's chambers, Kings of Leon. Nice and simple.

    [quote name='Al Heeley' timestamp='1336856069' post='1652098'] tube screamer will fit fine inside a 110 x 60mm enc. if you are neat with your wiring and snug with your jack plug and footswitch positions, Not sure what size the red ranger pcb is. [/quote]It's actually slightly smaller than the Tube screamer, so i'll get two 110 x 60. And try and keep things neat and tidy. cheers Ash

    DIY Effects

    [i][size=5]Hi, i'm about to attempt my first home built effects pedals. I have bought a Tube screamer and Red[/size][/i] [i][size=5]ranger PCBs from Tonepad, and have been buying the components from Small Bear but have run into some problems with Capacitor values. The diagrams from Tonepad show capacitors in uF [ Microfarad ] and pF [ Picofarad ]. However the values on Small Bear are nearly all in mF [ Milifarad ]. I converted these all to mF, larger values were ok to find but the smaller ones eg 0.047uF converted to 0.000047. The smallest value in mF available was 0.001mF. The pF values are even worse 51pF is 0.000000051mF. Where am i going wrong? [/size][/i] [i][size=5] Also one of the capacitors is non-polorised, which i could not find. Would a polorised work the same. What does Tant mean in regards to capacitors. What will be the best size of enclosures to use with these pedals. And finally what is the difference between symetrical and asymetrical clipping diodes. I am sure there is a simple answer to most of these problems but i am stumped if i can find them. cheers in advance[/size][/i] [i][size=5] Ash. [/size][/i]
  15. [i][size=5][size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I purchased a bass from Pueblo [i think][/font] in Mexico. It took 2 days to arrive in U.K.[/size][/size][/i] [i][size=5][size=4]via Mexico city and Clevland, and 3 days to travel 200 miles from Manchester[/size][/size][/i] [i][size=5][size=4]to Scotland. [/size][/size][/i]
  16. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1334604995' post='1618477'] They left off at leaast one zero!! [/quote] Especially when Michael Jacksons glove sold for $91,000, and his jacket from thriller went for $1,800,000
  17. Basses are better looking than guitars, with one exception. The White Falcon. Which is just stunning.
  18. One we do that always goes down well is Swords of a thousand men by tenpole tudor.

  21. [quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1329238598' post='1539388'] I always get mine form the same eBay store - [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Babz-Media"]http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Babz-Media/DURACELL-PROCELL-BATTERIES-/[/url] £7.49 for 10 Duracell Procells. More you buy cheaper they are as well. I've been using them for all batteries for about 18 months now. Generally arrive within 2 days, often next day and usually free delivery too! [/quote]Same here, excellent price and free postage.

  23. [quote name='Jacqueslemac' timestamp='1328536993' post='1528610'] Yeah, my thoughts too! (To Fender73, that is) In my two bands we play a good half of all those whinged about. I used to quite like Chasing Cars, but not since I've been playing it for a year. It's the second song in our second set (and I don't play on the acoustic version of Good Riddance), so I start off at the back of the pub and then wander through the punters to the stage while playing it. In one gig the birthday girl took vocals and all her mates crowded the stage, so I didn't make it until the song had finished. And we play it in my other band too. [/quote] We do exactly the same, Good riddance with vox and guitar followed by Chasing cars, drums and bass come in at the last chorus. Goes down well, we also do most of the ones mentioned before. But the one i hate with a passion is Rocking all over the world. We all hate it apart from the singer, he says everyone dances to it. It's the third last song, everyones pissed they'd dance to anything at 1245.
  24. [i][size=4]Hi, I have a Trace Elliot RA 500 SX which i will be selling shortly.[/size][/i] [i][size=4]I have been trying to find roughly how much it is worth, but so far [/size][/i] [i][size=4]have not been sucessful. It is in good overall condition and works fine.[/size][/i] [i][size=4]if anyone can assist me with the price i would be grateful.[/size][/i] [i][size=4]Cheers Ash.[/size][/i]
