Eh?

Thanks, I feel so much better than I'll only be electrocuted for 1/10th sec; it's got to be better than being frazzled ....lol.

So are you saying there is no protection? If so, what is the point of an RCD? I don't gget it....have I missed something?

[quote name='silddx' post='784668' date='Mar 24 2010, 01:34 PM']If the RCD trips, there's a problem. Resetting and carrying on won't solve the problem. Finding a different wall socket is the very least you should do. An RCD won't protect you from a shock either, all it will do is reduce the potential harm to you from the shock, depending on the type.[/quote] It won't protect me from a shock? I thought it broke the circuit to prevent harm?? My equipment is all new so I've no problems there....I'm just conscious about taking precautions for everyone's safety. So what's the answer apart from wearing thick welly boots?

Hi, having read it is crucial for my protection and that of my equipment to use an rcd, I have impressed on band members the importance of using them but they are worried about how we deal with any tripping out during a gig. Do you tell the landlord you can't continue or do you unplug the rcd and take a risk? Or what alternatives are there? Cheers for replies.

Ok, I get I don't need one but what RCD? There are so many with different voltage/amp ratings etc.

[quote name='Bloodaxe' post='784135' date='Mar 23 2010, 11:02 PM']Agreed. They can be of some use if you're doing little local outdoor gigs as diesel generators can produce lumpy electric which digital gear may not care for. RCD on the other hand is compulsory given the state of some pub & rehearsal space electrics. An RCD can be a life-saver - literally. Pete.[/quote] Is a surge protector the same as an RCD? What amp RCD should I use? Is it one per instrument or can me and the guitarist use it for a 4 way extension?

Having only recently taken up playing bass, (been a guitarist in a band for past 5 yrs), I wanted to ensure I followed the correct technique so went onto youtube to get knowledge of left hand finger positions. A tutor on there advised 1fpf but for newbies to practice it on the 9th fret. This seemed logical to me as it would be less strain. I copied the technique religiously, positioning my thumb correctly but nevertheless, I got a shooting pain in my hand and just couldn't do it. Maybe due to the fact that I have small hands and short fingers. So reading this topic has been very useful as I thought the 1fpf method was the only way I could become a competent bass player and was getting very disheartened when I couldn't do it without pain. Now I've heard of the Simandl method I feel so much better. Perhaps someone could advise how I should finger the opening riff of Billy Idol's 'White Wedding' using this postioning: G------------------ D---------------------- A-----5-7--9-9--7-5-- E-7-7-------------- I know I could compensate by playing elsewhere on the fretboard or using the D string instead of going to the 9th fret on the A, but it doesn't sound so good. Thanks for any replies and all the help from the posts on this topic. :0)

Hi, try this: [url="http://www.songsterr.com/a/wa/song?id=23220"]http://www.songsterr.com/a/wa/song?id=23220[/url] Once it loads, click on the mixer knob and you can mute other instruments. You can pause it or scroll through bit by bit too. I've not had a go myself at this particular song but use the site when stuck on any bassline. Even if it's not 100% accurate it will definitely be a guide. Good luck

Was discussing having my LM11 in a rack with tuner and was told I would need a power conditioner. Is this the same as an RCD or surge protector? Should I be using any of these. I was under the impression most amps haver some sort of surge protector inbuilt. cheers for any replies but please keep it simple as I'm not at all familiar with technical terms or jargon.

Must be to fit the BMF series. Any suggestions for UK based supplier? SHX Music does not sell anymore. Cheers

ROLAND CUBE 30....brilliant!

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='772555' date='Mar 12 2010, 10:53 AM']Roqsolid were recently reccommended for Schroeder cabs, pretty cheap too. However the site doesn't actually contain any pictures and it'll work out nearer £38 with tax[/quote] Cheers

Shx are no longer selling them and only place I can find who could make one is in the States but expensive. I need one for the BMF 1212. Cheers
