  1. Past hour
  2. Hmmm first of all @Woodinblack is right, I've left my RCF M18 on overnight and for several days without a problem and you should be able to do that as well. This is not something that is going to go away and it willl happen at a gig sooner or later. I don't know where you bought it but I'd be asking for help and a possible loan of a repacement until it's fixed. You can't risk your band's reputation with dodgy gear, losing a regular venue is potentially worth more than the cost of a new mixer. Heat often affects components and soldered joints due to expansion. Many/most intermittent faults are affected by heat so turning the mixer off will probably give you a few more minutes before the fault cuts in. There's nothing very surprising going on here, and it was a good shout to try it, but personally I wouldn't take that mixer to a gig. Imagine if you'd just managed to fill the dance floor and had the audience fully engaged and then cleared the dance floor for 10 mins half an hour before the gig was due to finish anyway. Do you have any mates who could lend you a mixer? At a pinch I have a backup M18 I hope to never use. You can pm me if that would help

  8. If the next lucky owner of this amp don't find the pedal useful please let me know I am happy to take over with reason price
  9. IME it depends on both the bass and your playing technique. Tapered B-strings suit my 5-string basses and how I play (quite hard), to the point where I have been considering getting Newtone to make me a custom set with a tapered E string as well. You get more choices with non-tapered strings, but if you can find a set with a tapered B that works for you and gives an improvement in the feel and sound of the string then go for it. Remember also that just because a particular type of string works on one bass, it does not immediately follow that it will as good on a different one.
  10. When I owned a Jazz bass, my favourite ever sound was when I fitted some old (ish) DiMarzio pickups. They were just brilliant. Definitely more "oomph" than any other passive Jazz pups- but they had a lovely warm sound, which seemed to produce the whole range really well. Plenty of low end, punch at the top end, and mids that cut through well. Whenever I played that bass, and in several bands / genres, it just sat nicely in the mix. Wish I hadn't sold that bass... Re pickup height - the luthiers I've spoken to, and the ones I watch regularly on YouTube all say the same thing - don't set the pickup height too close to the strings.... so adjust that carefully. Let us know how you get on 😀
  11. @cetera is after a Soul Food (although I realise that doesn't help you sell as a job lot!)
  12. I've just subscribed for a year, looking forward to reading issue 1 John 😎
  13. I was planning to do an hour or so talk about 3d design and 3d printing at the Bash. A few people have expressed a slight interest. For those of you who remember the village hall in Clapham, there is a little room adjacent to the kitchen, and I would use that. Is this of interest to other people? If so, what would people like to know about? I can't design and print a bass in an hour but I can talk through the basics and explain what works and what doesn't. It's easy enough to bring a 3d printer over and I can make the session interactive. Perhaps show how to design a simple pickup cover, or a volume control or something. Just throwing this out there for feedback and comments (good and bad). Thanks Rob
  14. Hey folks. I'm selling this lovely rig! Sounds heavenly and the cab has never been gigged which means it's in nearly mint condition. The amp is a little worn but works perfectly and sounds wicked through the 210 with both active and passive basses. Vanderkley 210MNT £650 (comes with non original cover) Markbass Little Mark Tube £350 (comes with vanderkley spartan bag) Would ideally sell them together in which case buyer gets a FREE Tsunami speakon cable! Message me for more pictures and for any questions. Cheers
  15. A bit of this and that.
  16. Probably a bit neater too. The ebs is quite a large metallic beast covered in knobs and switches that are easily activated in error...I had to read the manual FFS!
  17. Today
  18. Nice collection, having 30 hours of bass instrumentals in one place is handy for practice and inspiration. Do you have a few standout tracks you would recommend starting with?
  19. ImgBB is a decent replacement for Imgur.
  20. I posted a few (including a scary Wal!). I'll try to find a couple but will need to convert all the photos due to Imgur UK restrictions. It may take some time!
  21. I shouldn't really help the sale as I want this to still be here when I have enough free funds to grab it 😅 but can attest to Andy being a fine chap and this cab sounding monstrous!
  22. £250 plus postage (probably about 12-15 quid, it's quite heavy). Brilliant piece of kit. I used it with various amp modellers and preamps. Sits comfortably on a pedal board and powers cabs of your choosing. Condition is good. There are a couple of superficial marks on it. The fan in this is fairly loud so if you've never heard one It can be quite disconcerting when it fires up! It has double lock stuck on the back at the moment but I can remove and clean if that's a requirement. I'll be sorry to see this go but it's become surplus to requirements and I'm trying to follow my new year's resolution! Thanks for looking, Andy Specifications Product Title: Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170 Product Code: 11901-002 General Power: 170 W @ 4 Ohms Channels: 1 Output Impedance: 4-8 Ohms Controls: Bass, Mid, Treble, Level (Master Volume) Level: 0 dB to 47 dB Treble Control: +/- 13 dB @6.61 kHz Mid Control: +/- 13 dB @712 Hz Bass Control: +/- 13 dB @87 Hz Inputs: 1 x 1/4'' Outputs: 1 x 1/4'' Length: 5'' (127 mm) Dimensions Height: 5.24'' (133 mm) Depth: 2.84'' (72 mm) Weight: 0.9kg (2lbs)

  24. If it's just for recording a gig and the mic feed isn't going to be sent to FoH then knock yourself out. Your best choice will be whatever would be used on your rig in the studio, and trust me it's not a kick drum mic. Record both the mic and the DI, and if you have enough tracks/processing power a safety DI direct from the bass too. Whoever is mixing the recording will be able to use the source(s) that sound best for the overall recorded sound
  25. Having removed a fretboard on my own build before (because the fret slots weren't right), it's very easy for something to go wrong. My fretboard came off in chunks and the neck split at one point. If it's a bass you value and you haven't tried this on something expendable first, get it done professionally.
