All Activity

I ended up buying an extra DI box, the AEA TDI DI mono box, 50ohm XLR output, 48v phantom power, very low noise floor, sounds fantastic, hi-end DI with -20db pad, sheilded Lehle (German) transformer, fantastic for bass as well as most instruments, some guy & his band recorded a cover version of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" using just the AEA TDI, very impressed, neautral, transparent with a tight low bottom end with no audable noise, sells for £299 but got mine for £192, well pleased.....

Trying to put a positive light for a fellow BCer mate

I agree. However this pic shows how hard it is to give that 110%. Lol Daryl

We're not a wedding band by any stretch of the imagination. But we've been wangled into doing a few. All of them were bad. It's usually when the bride or the groom just happens to like our band. I don't think it occurs to them to hire a band their guests would like. Daryl

The Commando green case calls for grey or black knobs if you ask me.

The upshot was that e bay sorted it out pronto and both myself and the buyer got our dosh...

Lots of great info already given. All I would add is that its worth considering a Blue Acoustic system. Hand made here in the UK using top quality components. Designed to out perform similarly priced big brand gear and you can speak to them directly to discuss which of their setups would suit you best.

All I Need To Hear - The 1975

It's been a good few years since this thread got posted to. So here's my headless fretless Original 5: The headless Flamboyant 5: The Flamboyant 6: And the Sei Jazz 5, aka the Basschat Bike:

My new to me Uberhorn is awaiting surgery but here's a placeholder:

That's from a while ago - that settee's long gone. The basses are all still here though. The observant may notice the fingerboard end on the fretless isn't standard, I got Jon Shuker to replace the original board which had been nicely defretted but of course had lines on for an unlined ebony board and he shaped it that way.

Seven Trumpets - Aphrodite's Child

I have quite a few. However, when I don't know how big the venue is or I know it's small, I'll take a fretted headless, if I've got room then I may take a headed bass instead and that will be a choice from a selection of three or four. For open mic nights I'll take any one of a dozen, generally 5-strings but occasionally a 4 or a 6.

In fairness, there's been bugger-all genuine news for days (I'm keeping an eye on the Talkbass and TheGearPage threads). And there's never a thread in which people can't say what they could have bought a Wal for in 1983. That's the law, although if they're less than 50, some doubt might be thrown on their claim.

Yeah, but can it work over USB with the ability to turn on/off the FX?

I still have two. One active four and an active/passive 5 with separate tone controls for each mode, so you can get two sets of tones out by flicking active/passive it is enough

The full size one has midi program change and parameter changing and a full size midi socket.

Or, for those of us who don't move in the exalted circles of promoters, showing the landperson that you should get another chance.

Sound Your Funky Horn - KC & The Sunshine Band

Latterly No, 19 was Argent's / Music Room before they moved across the street

Absolutely not, but what are you wanting to achieve; a lighter weight?

This. My version is, every gig is the Albert hall. Several times I've been asked to join bands because the band leader liked what he saw, and one of them was the proverbial man and a dog gig. Every time you have a bass on your shoulder you should be giving 110%.

Would it be a sin to remove the gp11 preamp from my 1110 combo and marry it to a 500W class d power amp?
