  1. Past hour
  2. Came here to say this. Rotary speaker indeed:
  3. Believe that's a Yamaha RA200 rotating speaker cabinet for DG's guitar.
  4. Wise words. Always buy stuff that is better than what it replaces.
  5. I got a couple of those Spirits in white from Music Yo quite a few years ago for free (long story, cock up with deliveries etc). I sold one, and ended up swapping one for a B2A (and then sold that as I didnt like it as much). I still have one with the more traditional body. I really like the EMG Select pups on them.
  6. I love mine on guitar - into a very good Marshall capture on a Tonex. Not tried it on bass yet. I don't get the price increases either - the renamed one is identical and everybody knows it's a clone anyway. It's not like the pedal itself - or any of the other cheap clones - have been discontinued.
  7. This is the one. The blurb. The bass: It’s the bedrock of any performance, demanding nothing short of tonal excellence. Enter ReVolt Bass, a forward-thinking all-analog 3-channel Amp Sim primed to serve as the beating-heart of your rig. The latest-iteration of Two notes’ critically- acclaimed Amp Sim solutions has been engineered with a singular mission: to empower players with the ultimate in foundation tone. Forget any preconceptions of a run-of-the-mill amp-in-a-box, preamp or DI: ReVolt Bass stands-apart. It’s inspired by a trio of iconic tones; It’s fuelled by 200V and genuine tube power; It’s born to assimilate into a myriad of usage scenarios; it gives you edge when you need it, thanks to an integrated Drive Channel Dry/Wet Blend
  8. MOD’s please can you post this post and insert it in the correct place Thanks

  10. Yep this is my situation. I alternate gear. Don't buy any more because my money has gone but I have enough to swap stuff around.
  11. That is a great bass tone. Lovely and clanky! Darned good playing. I must confess I was fascinated by all her MDing chat through the video - would have loved to,have heard what was going on across the talkback channel.
  12. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/136088502104?itmmeta=01JZ5D7YWZDJPZQ7JJCTN43BJY&hash=item1faf81bf58:g:47oAAeSwlwJoZEk2&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30mEmwwNI%2FdE8KplobEchyVSBHkMkFbH6xu173K50j6XYongCtdLzkzjNERCG0HFL6Yj0ZkwN1XKCRXsFYA5OJywOrkylRclO0VCfEls8ke%2B1O6WrP%2Bq1grX14%2FtwtMb6ODIT9%2BGh0LjF5SLn0SxlxbUCSQ48KjnIodsVtJFO33tsl%2FVj5F5urdNvCNmK9KFVSoAjMHi%2F2VXx0VF8lCFto3Dldf5l9OIFXwpeo27QjE3wRAsxJDvLkQ67jegAGtDJpdSj5cSKOJFXXsDY9yXKER%2B|tkp%3ABk9SR9Dun635ZQ
  13. Generally, everything set flat, with the tone controls on the amp set mostly neutral but bass down a bit, but if it turns out I'm a bit too bassy (the most likely situation) I'll back off the bass on the instrument a bit too.
  14. Being single, I don't get this from the wife/partner/other. However, I get looks and comments from the band when I turn up with something they haven't seen before and since I like to rotate through the bass collection for rehearsals and some of my fellow bandmates have senior moments, I will often get the 'another bass?' response.
  15. I had a look at the Trace Elliot brochures thread on here to see if I could find the combo this came from. No luck, but I think it's a bit of a shame the original 12ax7 valve preamp was removed in favour of a solid state version.
  16. We had just a drum'n'basses rehearsal on Sunday... I think I've convinced them this is a good way to go as they're all learning exactly what everyone else plays without just relying on a particular cue - means we'll be tighter and clashing parts will be ironed out as you can't hide so much. Last week was basses and guitars, so hopefully next weeks rehearsal for full band will have everyone knowing exactly what to do for gig a week Friday. So new drums and guitar will be tight as after only 4 rehearsals, including getting guitar and drums to occasionally follow me to bring out the progfunk part of of our punk!
  17. Sorry for the lack of TE relevance, but I would like to add weight to the argument that watts is just a number beyond a certain point. I use a modular system (Markbass Mini CMD121P IV + Markbass New York 121 cab) and I have a backup head - a TC Electronic BH250. All of the following combinations (in order of wattage) are loud enough to be heard fine with a full band IMO. Markbass full rig - 500W into 4ohm 2x1x12" Markbass combo on its own - 250W into a single 8 ohm 12" TC Electronic BH250 into a crappy rehearsal room Behringer 4ohm 4x10" (250W) TC Electronic BH250 into 4ohm 2x1x12" (250W) TC Electronic BH250 into single 8 ohm 12" cab (so providing a nebulous amount of watts less than 250W - TC shy with this info but I guess it will be less than 200) At its most powerful (500W), I don't need the master up on my rig more than about a third in general when playing in the same room as a drummer, guitarist and singer or a drummer, singer, backup singer, keys, sax, trombone. Even with the lesser powered stuff, it doesn't need to be cranked to be heard. TL:DR - try the Elf with your 2x15" in the full band setting (and play with EQ) before you even think about buying anything.
  18. @Quatschmacher, fancy seeing you hear 😎
  19. I have a couple of IMA's synth packs for my Helix that are excellent (particularly his vintage synth pack). I'm not great at dialling in these types of sounds, so these are a godsend. He put a video together several years ago explaining how to get a variety of synth sounds from typical stompbox effects such as fuzz, octave, filter and chorus - his Helix presets are largely the same formula. It seems to me this new MXR pedal takes that formula even further, but with an oscillator added. If I didn't already have the Helix, I might be tempted.
  20. My wife has recently moved from 'Buy what you want/need' to a strict 'Sell one before you buy something else AND always trade up'. It's not really about the delivery, it's about seeding the suggestion well in advance (much like our upcoming American style fridge-freezee purchase). When @cetera sorted out the recent Spector Euro-X build, I was able to spin some kind of backstory about it being a test build and being offered at a healthy discount. If she knew the actual price, I fear I may have been wearing my ballbag as a hat.
  21. Is the correct Basschat response 👍
  22. Just got Recycle (its free), and tried it with a drum pattern. When you select export to midi, it complains there are too many slices and exports 91, but the midi is an odd ascending scale!
  23. Sadly the silly money prices on eBay are coming down. However people are paying double and a bit more for the pedal. Just checked and one auction is at £132 for a pedal. If anybody wants mine for £120 just le me know. There's supply coming through as I have one, so not sure why people are that desperate for it.
