krazy_olie Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Love what you've done to the Geddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I hope your amp set-up doesn't go the way mine did! I have a kranky SVP-pro that mutes if subjected to too much acoustic feedback (vibration). My QSC plx1202 died, too. It NEVER all worked together continuously for an entire gig. It did make it through the odd practice in one piece. Sounded fantastic, but way too unreliable. I can't / won't buy another QSC. Might get one of the Behringer "copies" Meanwhile, my 12 year-old Trace SMX soldiers on regardless! Love the Geddy Lee refinish, and have always had a soft spot for 'Rays/Sterlings.

slaphappygarry Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Cheers guys. Lfalex, never had anything other than a big beefy sound out of both power and pre amps. Fingers crossed. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 That's a nice recording set up you have there, esp. The apple computer. I have to make do with a load of microphones plugged into a few mic preamps, into a mixer then into a crappy little AMD Athalon AM2 64-bit computer with Crappy windows vista and a really crappy 10,000RPM harddrive Mounted on the actual rack itself!

Lenny B Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) I used to have a Tobias - it was a great little bass, light, fast, funky, with a Darth Vader hologram sticker (May the Funk be with you). I sold it to buy my Warwick, but do miss it at times (sigh...) Very nice gear Garry - just read the build diary on the Jazz, and as I've just sanded my floors I can relate to the volumes of sandpaper! The Jazz looks great, more food for thought...

birdy Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi Garry nice gear. How are you finding the apple for recording and how many tracks can you record simultaneoulsy with that set up? Could you do a live band? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[quote]Hi Garry nice gear. How are you finding the apple for recording and how many tracks can you record simultaneoulsy with that set up? Could you do a live band? Steve[/quote] The apple is awesome. Never really lets me down. A few little "thinking pauses" now an then (like monthly) but its a solid, fast, reliable machine. With the addition of the new preamps i have i can record 8. I could do 16 simultaneously with something like the behringer ada8000 that gives me another 8 through adat. So, yep, i could do a full band. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
