To be honest I’ve experienced similar when I was playing drums in a Wigan based covers band. I only found out as someone posted photos on FB from a rehearsal the band was having with a different drummer. The band leader bass player phoned me a few days later to explain that it was nothing to do with my ability and that he had replaced me with the singer’s wife so they could do more gigs. In principle I guess the reasoning was ok but the whole process of informing me left a lot to be desired. I think the band should have changed their name from Shallow Groove to Shallow Bast***s.😂. I was annoyed for a while to be honest as I had put a lot of time and effort into getting the parts spot on including Times like These (I was the only one who could count to 7) but after a while I moved on to much better bands and more high profile gigs. I’m sorry that you have had to experience such poor manners and standards of behaviour, I would like to think that incidents such as these are few and far between but they’re probably not. All the best in your search for something better, onwards and upwards!

Hey guys, So, this is the older version of the combo, before the 700RBII. I’ve had it for over a year, after about 6 months the power board shorted out after not pressing in the power button fully. I took it to Taunton Audio Visual Services who managed to get it up and running again. About another 6 months later the same issue has happened again. I’ve since bought a replacement head and have been using the 210 exclusively via a speakon adapter and the cab works perfectly fine and sounds great. When the head was working it sounded even better! I’m offering this up as a repair for someone with the know how or knows someone who can help, and just as a good and solid 2x10 cabinet which can be used with any head with the adapter. The overall condition of the combo is pretty good for its age. The handle and wheels all work perfectly fine and there is no major cosmetic damage. This is a collection only from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can also meet up or deliver within a certain distance as well. Thanks, Josh.

STEINBERGER DB BRIDGE - Detune Issue
Haggis McBloke replied to xverminate2's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Greg, I know this is years on from your initial post, but did you ever resolve the issue? I’ve just picked up a Hohner B2A with the drop d, but it doesn’t work at all. The lever moves but makes no difference to the tone. TIA Andy -

My mini "Essentials" board from a recent function gig I did. Loving the Neptunium! Gigrig Generator underneath, mounted on a Rockboard Duo 2.0

I think I have fewer requirements than most as mine is just for the mixer, no chord sheets or anything. Having said that, I spent £40 on a refurbished Amazon Kindle Fire 10. It works great and I can recommend it for running Mixing Station.
-
Most of the remaining parts arrived - chassis, board, choke, hardware, resistors. Just waiting on the capacitors now.

That is my view too. I got a Nokia tablet, refurbished by Nokia with new battery etc for a littl;e over £100. Is it the best tablet? Clearly not, but for the needs of a gigging tablet it does all that's required and more. At some point when it starts getting a little older I'll just switch off updates entirely. The only network I need to connect to is the mixer's router.

dave_bass5 started following IEMs - sometimes too good?!

Im always nervous of leaving something muted when we go back on, so I have my XR18 set to Mute/unmute all by any of the mute buttons. FOH stays on and the iPad playing music does as well, but the band are all muted with one button (and it can be any of the big red buttons).

"Micro Frets" with interesting adjustment at the nut
Count Bassy replied to alyctes's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I experimented with an adjustable nut on my basses, but only to the extent of pushing a bit of galvalized wire under the strings next to the nut, so that it could be slid/angled as required. Made a real difference to the intonation at the low end (bottom 3 or 4 frets), and after setting the intonation at the bridge has negligible affect elsewhere. Didn't do anything permanent as I assumed that the required position would change with the strings fitted. In princible a good idea. -
Woodinblack started following Dingwall Super P Far East model?

I would have thought they would be the same? I have only had one dingwall and quite a lot of ibanezs but I didn't get that feel from my dingwall.

+1 on on the "get in touch with singer" idea. Singer, bass and guitar might be enough for a wine-bar thing anyway and you can take your time finding a drummer who can play quietly.

Cowardly and underhand band politics...
Woodinblack replied to solo4652's topic in General Discussion
Yeh, I had this before with one singer and drummer, I felt annoyed afterwards I had accepted it rather than pointing out that it was actually more my band than theirs. However we watched them over the next few years go through successions of guitarists / female singers / bass players before they finally seemed to give up. It was clear the weak area was the singer, I guess even if you refuse to accept you are the weak link at some point you get fed up trying to find out why everyone else is wrong. I was annoyed at the start, but the time they split up I was quite dissapointed I wouldn't be able to keep up with their facebook posts introducing the new singer / guitarist, and the next post saying about that same person going off to explore other avenues. You dodged a bullet, find someone else, make a new group, but yes, get in touch with the singer. If they signed on for a cafe / wine bar vibe they are probably not going to be happy doing blues -
Great little bass !

Yep. Par for the course. Same happened to me twice last year. Same band leader for both bands and same behaviour. Some guys are just A-holes!!

Easily the best speaker cabinet I have ever used: am downsizing to lighter Genz Benz cabs as I rarely play live now. The Eden D210XST Cab is loud enough to be heard and yet still small enough to be used at home or in a small studio. For those players who need a portable, high-performance rig with even more low end than the XLT, Eden has designed a 2 x 10" cabinet for their XST woofers. Punchy and clean, the D210XST produces a full and clear tone through its two 10" speakers. It's excellent for delivering articulate bass lines with volume. This 2 x 10" cabinet handles more power than many 4 x 10" cabs on the market. The D210XST offers huge bottom end with its cleverly-designed tuned and ported cabinet construction and speaker selection: the low end is full but tight, the mids are open and well-defined and the highs are clear and crisp. Durable build quality makes this ideal for touring and live performances. All Eden enclosures are constructed with 5/8" thick void free plywood with full dado and rabbet jointing. Massive internal bracing prevents vibration and keeps the sound deep, tight and clear. Exclusive Eden Cast Frame loudspeakers and Eden Cast Bell low distortion tweeter horns are designed, hand-built and tested in their own factory in the USA. Very Good condition. Comes with an official Eden cover. Power Handling: 500 Watts Impedance: 8 Ohms Speakers: 2x10" Eden-spec Eminence EC1060XS speakers Tweeter: Eden Cast Bell low distortion Crossover: 3.5KHz @ 18dB Frequency Response: 30Hz - 14KHz Sensitivity: 103dB SPL Connections: Parallel 1/4 Inch and Speakon Dimensions: 23" w x 18" h x 18.5" d Weight: 59lbs / 26.8kg Only £325. Collection from East London preferred, although happy for buyer to arrange a courier.

BabyBlueSound started following FáZZ - DIY Mastotron clone prototype £45 including shipping
-
FáZZ - DIY prototype. It is based on the ZVEX Mastotron, using a Fuzzdog PCB. The RE/PUSH impedance control is pretty cool, you can adjust the breakup to the hotness of yours pickups. It lights up under UV light! (can add photos when it gets dark tonight) The LED is matching pink! BUDGET PRICE - This is a prototype as it's my first attempt covering a pedal faceplate with epoxy. Unfortunately it's SPONGY, the epoxy never hardened fully. It's not jelly-like, it's pretty solid, but you can mark it with your nail if you press hard - so this is something to consider. I will also add a short recording shortly.
