bastards!! be nice if the sound in their heads wasn't always a passive precision with flats 😂🤣

I honestly think the Neve is the most usable preamp I’ve ever had. Brilliant thing.
-
Added the Dirt Mixer, still not decided on which drives I want but for not I’ve opted for the Venus, Dagger and Halberd for a pretty wide range of options. Recording in a couple of weeks so still time to change things around. Still patiently waiting for a smaller version of the Bass Driver from EAE so I can go back to a more compact board 🤞

Definitely don't show up with a Dingwall, Rickenbacker, Spector or anything else which is the tonal equivalent of a sledgehammer. If they don't want a full time bassist in the band, then they probably don't want an interesting bass sound. They want a Fender and they'll probably eq out all the character from it.

QSC CP12 Active PA Speaker 1000 Watts One of two - priced individually or for a small discount if sold as a pair. This speaker is as new and has not been used since purchase. It comes with additional QSC waterproof cover for outdoor use. Very powerful speakers however I’m downsizing and selling my larger portable PA gear. Street price is £579 cheapest I can find so this is a good saving. The covers cost an extra £67. The user manual is included. I have two of these for sale. I can knock off £40 if you buy the pair. Pickup definitely preferred but talk to me if this is impossible. UK only. Postage would be at buyer’s cost and I’d need to source packaging as the boxes have been recycled. These speakers get glowing reviews in Sound on Sound magazine - https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/qsc-cp-series I own a pair of QSC CP8s which are perfectly fine for keyboard monitoring and rehearsal PA so these aren’t needed now for personal use. Specifications from QSC below - Features Class-D amplifier with 1000W peak power output Selectable contours (presets) for quick setup Advanced DSP with Intrinsic Correction™ Superior sound quality and speaker protection Directivity Matched Transition™ (DMT) ensures uniform coverage across the entire sound field Suitable for use as a main PA, stage monitor or instrument amplifier 35mm pole mount socket Lightweight and incredibly portable Specifications Configuration: Two-Way Active Low Frequency Driver: 12'' Cone Woofer High Frequency Driver: 1.4'' Compression Frequency Response: 49Hz - 20kHz, -6dB 47Hz - 20kHz, -10dB Sound Pressure Level: 126dB (Maximum) Nominal Coverage: 75° Axisymetric Amplifier Type: Class-D Amplifier Power: 1000W (Peak) Input Connectors: 2 x XLR/TRS Combo (Line and Mic/Line) 1 x 3.5mm TRS Stereo Output Connector: 1 x XLR (Mix) Controls: Power 2 x Gain Mic Boost Push Switch 6-Way Contour Selection Switch Indicators: Power LED 2 x Input Signal LEDs Input B MIC Selected LED Limiter Active LED Power Supply: 100V - 240V, 50Hz/60Hz Enclosure Material: Polypropylene Grille: 18 Gauge Powder Coated Steel Dimensions: 516mm x 350mm x 323mm / 20.3'' x 13.8'' x 12.7'' (H x W x D) Weight: 13.7kg / 30.3lbs-

Wow! I'd love to, but I really shouldn't. -
Starr Sport, Canvey Island on Saturday evening. Decent night with a good crowd reaction. A few issues during soundcheck with feedback and a resonant node that seemed to appear in the second set that I wasn’t able to resolved whilst playing. Oh well, it didn’t seem to detract from the performance too much. I think we’re going to have to dial in a ‘gain safety net’ for the vocalists, their mics are just way too sensitive and complain they can’t hear themselves during soundcheck then they're too loud during the actual performance. Typical lead singer thing! Second gig with the Anagram pedal and I feel I had the eq dialled in much better this time, punchy and articulate, and the the drives sounded much better. I also set midi control up with BandHelper to save double footswitch pressing to switch presets. I need to spend a little more time with this. PC changes were fine, but CC changes are hit or miss. Next stop, Cow & Telescope in Southend in two weeks time (with a much needed holiday inbetween).

Stripping a cab is the easy part. There's a skill set to be learned in covering with Tolex or similar, especially if there is piping involved. The 'easier' way is to paint with Tuff or DuraTex paint, but any decent finish will eat up any cost benefit from having bought the cab cheaply in the first place. Maybe worthwhile for one's own cab, but doubtful as a financially-viable operation. Unless it's a case of needing a new hobby, of course.

I loved Guy Pratt's story of the punk days, when everyone had adopted names like Rat Scabies, Fester Pustule and so on. People used to assume he had done similarly when he introduced himself.

Yep -
Bit of a misleading question then, asking us "does such a thing as a decent, lightweight sub-woofer actually exist?". I took "decent" to mean "capable" (not an unreasonable assumption), but it turns out you don't actually need 'capable'. Silly me, eh? I'm impressed that you posted yesterday, then managed to do "a lot of research" and also buy a sub, all in the space of 24 hours. Why bother asking on here in that case? Had you told us you already had a MarkAudio sub', we'd have likely suggested sticking with that (I would). 23kg is hardly a behemoth. I'm 72 and have no trouble schlepping my Fohhn XS22, at 25kg.

That’s a great looking bass

I think it was Captain Sensible (born Ray Burns) who said that he and some of the early punks changed their names to help avoid the DHSS from sniffing around too much as they were still claiming 'the dole'.

All remaining 9 bridges for £45 to include InPost locker service postage. -
Box and installation instructions found and included 👍🏾 -
I did a session where I took my passibe bass loaded with my finest Fralin J pickups and it went through my Jule Monique pre. It sounded glorious as I put it down. In the final mix it sounded like a bass. Producers do not want the sound in our heads. They want the sound in their heads. That will be a sound they have been listening to for years. Not our fanciest, shiny basses. Also, they will not have time (or sadly, the interest) to audition several different flavours of bass.

I've gone and done it again....... This time it's a Mesa Boogie
djk replied to djk's topic in Amps and Cabs
I've only just collected it today so not yet had a chance to look at what's inside driver wise. From what I can find out on the web the 15" an EEVM, the 10" and Eminence Legend CA10-8 and the 6's are Ampeg or Eminence again. I'll know more when I get the back off, and post the information here. -
Thanks. Is it difficult if the cab has an closed back?
-
Ours hasn't got one, yet!
-
Yeah I'd heard some people consider them quite chunky. Seems ok to me, but when I'm building my own, they always end up pretty thick, because I'm afraid of going too far when I'm carving, so it's actually fine for me. Thin enough that the extra string isn't too hard to deal with too.

And the annoying chrome bezel is gone too. I found it's removal made mine far, far more playable. Lovely colour combo with the AG and gold. GLWTS -
FENDER MIJ LIMITED INTERNATIONAL COLOR PRECISION BASS
Misdee replied to soulstar89's topic in Bass Guitars
I can actually remember when these colours were on the newest USA Fenders in my local music shop. I can vividly recollect a bright yellow Jazz Bass. That was just around the time I was shopping for my first proper bass. I think they were Fenders attempt to stay relevant to the "new wave" of that time. General consensus at the time was that they looked bloody awful, but nowadays they look pretty good to me! Just shows you how times and tastes can change. -
Tried the Digbeth and although I could get some nice tones I found it too sensitive to tiny EQ changes and found it ok at best but not worth keeping I feel.
