    I'm gonna try that then.

    Thanks very much go the reply! Just to clarify a few more things, the Nordstrand and Aguilar jazz bass pickups are all dual coil so when a single pickup is selected shouldn't they also be acting as humbuckers, therefore not creating so much noise? The noise does change slightly when moving the basses around the room but not massively. The work around on gigs has been to take a DI straight from my pedalboard as this has been a much cleaner signal. Once the amp is introduced the buzzing is present. If the issue was the bass wouldn't the noise be similar coming from my pedalboard? I've had a further play around and going direct through a powered PA speaker and a Fender Rumble 15 there is no buzzing, and everything is working as expected. Also I do a lot of practice through an interface and through headphones and again the buzzing isn't present. Obviously things will never be silent but with the Mesa things are currently unusable. As mentioned above the issue is new as well and hasn't been a problem ever before. I've had the amp maybe 6 or 7 years now and have gigged through all of that time.

    Sounded superb

    I was only joking Reggae as you said all the way round! The pedant in me wants to point out that the M25 doesn’t go all the way round. There is a short bit of A road over the dartford crossing that they used to stop them having to stop collecting tolls once the bridge finance was repaid. That was a term of the finance being syndicated for the build so tolls should have stopped many years ago. But hey Ho!

    That's still a thing, as is the noticeboard at the local rehearsal studio.

    630 mile round trip, my brother had already done an 80 mile round trip to collect it from the seller, so 710 miles in total. I won't admit he was going to Edinburgh already or that I was heading up to Dunblane and back for his other half's 60th birthday at which I would be playing said bass...

    Had one of those "Dad this is my new number" scam texts this morning. Rather than immediately delete it, I'm going to see how long I can keep them going. I asked "is that you Felicity?" and they said yes. Obvs I do not have a daughter named Felicity :D

     So now I've invented Felicity's no-good bum of a husband Hugo, who keeps selling her iPhones to fund his gambling habit. Let's see if they take that bait too. :lol:

    I also have a UK made Ashdown Klystron 115 cab with a cover that can go with this. £375 for the pair! Wonderful rig for next to nothing! Pics to follow.

    Why didn’t you go the other way round? 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂

    I pulled this as the new price has dropped below £500 now. However, on reflection I think £600 for the amp in mint condition, plus the bluetooth adapter, footswitch and carry bag is still a good deal, so it's back up again.

    Do you mean heavy metal style? That would be minor/diminished tonality with the prominent flat 2 and raised 4/flat 5, not major . The only way I can imagine it used in major tonality is when playing over a first inversion of the V chord, for example B/G if playing in C. Even then emphasising the Flat II/V degrees of the mode wouldn't really be necessary as they wouldn't work as chord tones (technically the flat V would be a chord tone if it's a dominant 7, but again, Dom 7 chords are rarer these days in most popular music), just scale passing tones. To be honest I know very little about contemporary Christian music so I may be missing something here.

    My new build will be a fretless, headless 5 sting neck through. 5 piece neck: 3x wenge, 2x padouk. Swamp ash body with padouk top. Black hardware (not decided yet which) and one Lace Aluma Bass Bar PU at the stingray position. Model will be inspired by the NS Design radius bass, still have to work that out.. .
  20. FugaziBomb started following help with working out how much wattage i need!
  21. FugaziBomb
    But measured at 1% (I think?) THD. The reason tube amps sound louder is because they are delivering more watts than their rating as the are routinely pushed passed that percentage of THD. If you do that with a solid state amp, it hard clips and sounds nasty, but tube amps sound nice when they start to clip.
  22. Reggaebass
    Not as far as some here but all the way round the M25 , 33 junctions I think

    I bought this little M-Vave IR Box from Aliexpress .... £20. An IR Loader, an interface s di, with a headphone out. Comes loaded with mostly guitar IRs but a few bass options which are to my ears good! Loaded some Sigma Audio DB IRs and my EUB sounds great (might all be in my head 😄 may be no difference) I plugged the interface into cubase and it recorded fine. Controlled via buetooth. I mean even just as a tiny headphone amp its great for the price. Bloke goes into some detail on talk bass https://www.talkbass.com/threads/m-vave-ir-box-review.1668489/ I'm sure it's not a patch on more expensive devices but it was £20.
  24. Pow_22 started following Orange Terror series screws
  25. Pow_22
    Morning all. Dont suppose anyone knows the size of screw used by orange for their Bass Terror at all? Its the screws that hole the main cage/lid onto the amp. The OG ones are seemingly made of cheese and strip at the sight of a screw driver. Looking to upgrade them to something a bit stronger

    Perhaps opposite to what others have said earlier in this thread but in my head at least I've found it simplest to just learn the interval sequence of the major scale - but really learn it off by heart with all finger positions and playing right up/down over multiple octaves, jumping strings etc. Basically apply that 'Ionian' of the chart to a bass fretboard. Then it is just a case of where you start/finish to play all the modes. It clicked with me that the 'Aeolian' is the minor scale shapes, so instead of 'I need to learn the major and minor scales/shapes' (which I did first) I realised I could have just really learned the major inside-out and but started/finished on the 6th note, and the same applies for all of the others, for a long time I found it confusing to think 'to learn Dorian I need to remmeber to play a major scale with flat 3rd and flat 7th', much simpler to just play the major scale intervals - but start/finish on the 2nd note. Saying that though, I don't think this technique of basically learning as shapes on a fretboard works if changing instruments, or changing bass tuning to drop D etc.

    Have they a cheap 62 Jazz as well?

    Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS

    Do it. If they’re going to be so belligerent towards suggestions that this was a scam then they need to prove otherwise….

    As I actually don’t know - never used Subs - where would you put them please? We have a pair of Bose F1s and they are fine with me going straight in with my stomp in the small pubs we play. Great hifi like sound! But been thinking for a while that we may need a sub if we ‘break out’ and play anything bigger! So knowing where to put it/them would be good! A supplementary question (to which I guess the answer is ‘no’) is that I have an old pair of Alto 12s gathering dust (they are sooo heavy) so could one/both of them be used as subs? Cheers peeps.

    Before condemning IEMs, I must point out that I have on more than one occasion, done exactly the same, ie not unmuting FOH ........ And none of the band noticed. And that was using wedges!!! I realised and rectified the issue and the band were none the wiser! I may have me toned elsewhere that the and always want more in the monitors, with the resultant feedback issues !!!!! 😭
