All Activity

Can anyone recommend a suitable strap-mounting pouch for the transmitter when used with adaptor lead for an active bass?

Keep It Greasy — Frank Zappa

I’ve taken a leap of faith and ordered the EICH T900 black edition !

Hey !! Anyone used or using the EICH T900 amp ? Im curious to it being a good match with a Barefaced ST ?

Got this coming up on Friday. It looks like we're on first based on the poster, but we're listed as main support on Headfirst/Facebook. We'll have to wait and see what's what. The available backline looks to be terrible too, so I'm going to need to bring everything by the looks of things...

Slip Sliding Away - Paul Simon

Just purchased a Sans Amp BDDI V2 from Ewan. Super easy transaction from start to finish with great comms and speedy delivery. Highly recommended.

Vaseline Alley ～ Rod Stewart

Got a series of videos coming out over the next few months. Here's the first, just for fun. Audio mixed by me too.

I love this.

I personally don't think it's living in fear to mitigate a plausible risk, so I might play my backup bass as main if I thought it was more likely than usual to come to harm at a particular venue.

Yep. It's still a learning process for us. Some of the venue's we play have a stage with a little bit that sticks out in the middle where the singers stand, with the speaker stands either side. We have no choice but to put our single sub on one side. We set up in a rehearsal space of similar size to the typical venues we play at, and ran QSC's helpful calibration guide to find a baseline for sub and tops volume settings. This way if we have a reference to reset to if we ever find the sub is overpowering the room (like we did at the last gig. We run the sub from the mixer main output and the top from the subs, so for us it's easier to wire the sub in and not need it, than set everything else up only to find out we do need it. Our tops can't be high passed any lower than 100hz so we set the sub's crossover to 100hz as well. We noticed that the sub appeared directional when placed closer to one side of the room to the other - you could definitely tell what side of the room it was coming from (I wonder if this is due to the 100hz crossover) and sounded more consistent when centred, so ideally we'd like to centre it whenever we can. Which brings me to... Would putting a single sub at the back of the stage, up against the wall, centre-ish be an option? I realise the stage would be louder, although more felt than heard, and boundary loading would give it a little help too. I understand there could be a time delay, but we're only talking 2 or 3 metres front to back in the average UK pub. I high pass my bass at the subs corner frequency directly in Helix, and the bass drum on the mixer so we don't overload it.

If I was to have one refinished I’d probably go for a nitro very light relic so in time it would age naturally, some from around those years are in very good condition and some are quite worn, I suppose it would depend on how well it’s been looked after and how much it was used, my 71 precision had one owner before me and he played it a lot for many years, it’s quite worn but still plays great, also I think you can also find that some have been aged unnaturally

As far as I know, I am the only owner of this combo. I bought it in October 2009 when gearformusic gave up the distributorship. A lot of basschatters bought discounted Tecamp gear at that time. Unless it was a return before my ownership or gearformusic fitted it, I don't know how this driver got in there. The only people who have worked on this combo since I bought it are Tecamp themselves, who replaced the woofer when it failed in 2011. It's been fine since then, until a few weeks ago. Thanks everyone for the assistance and @Bill Fitzmauricefor the link to that Faital driver, Blue Aran have them in stock so I should be able to get one without any trouble.

Against my better judgement that was kind of me on Saturday. It was the wedding of a good mate of mine, the singer in my technically-still-going-but-don't-do-much-these-days hard rock band. Thanks to the excellent Sound Cartel for loaning us some gear, even if I do have the sneaking suspicion that you just felt as though you couldn't say no to the groom. Still, the others were going to do it over my objections anyway, if you can't beat em, join 'em. Anyway, here we are trying to remember some songs we used to play. I think it's clear that I'm rather embarrassed about the whole thing and I'm trying to hide. Unlike our lead guitarist. VID-20240602-WA0000.mp4

bc mods-(chris at left)using correct 2fa auth gear......🫡😇😉

OK, thanks a lot. I just didn't know which one was the original... The second question was if you were to repaint it... which one would you use. I like the relic, and I think you can only get that with nitro... What surprises me is seeing on the web, or reverb... how worn the originals are... I thought the poly didn't wear out that much.

Hope they paid you well for that rather impressive and I’d imagine quite tiring ppm rate Lawrie? I tend to hold firm at around 1/10 that unless there’s some serious cash on the table 😆

This is the original. As far as I know, I'm the only owner of this combo. Ah, I see what you mean. It's possible that the original blew and was replaced before I bought the combo, but it was supposed to be new at the time and wasn't described as B Stock. I can't explain how they wouldn't have fitted an original part. If it's been in there all the time I've owned it, it's lasted 15 years, if I get another 15 out of the replacement I'll be 81 and long-retired from gigging!

+1. We went from vocal only PA and loud backline filling the room to silent stage (except for drums) with IEM over the course of about 18 months.
