Everyone who has met him says he's a decent bloke. Everyone who hasn't can't stand him. Someone once told me "Have you ever met a hater doing better than you?". Think that rings pretty true in this case.

Fender amp grill cloth replacement
northstreet replied to Richard R's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've got a similar issue with my Rumble 100. It seems to be easy enough to remove the grille, it should come off just by pulling on that black fabric tab at the bottom right. As you say, it also seems easy enough to get some replacement cloth. What's put me off is the thought of removing and then replacing the many staples that hold the cloth in place - and making it look neat. If you do decide to have a go, I'd be grateful if you could share your progress - if it goes well it might tempt me into fixing mine. -
LFSys and Barefaced Questions - Super Compact, Monaco and Monza?
pete.young replied to Linus27's topic in Amps and Cabs
The LFSys cabs are probably better compared with the Barefaced Big Baby 3. The Super Compact is a single-driver cab, unless you opt for the optional tweeter. LFSys cabs have a crossover and high-mid range driver which the Super Compact lacks, but the Big Baby 3 has. I have a Monza and it goes very loud. Unless you need a large amount of volume, you should probably be looking at an LFSys Goodwood too. -
Love the look of this but for this coin id expect at least the bad-ass bridge and a seymour duncan QP in it ?

I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.-

Yes, all good thanks, Gareth! 🙏😊 -
Intensely irritating twit. I'd watch Danny Seppuku though.

From the original post. So there is no need to consider impedance mismatching, or a foot-pedal tuner to switch off the sound because these are already built-in to the on-board preamp. I've just done live sound for an event which involved several bedroom acoustic players. The biggest issue I had was people leaving their tuners switched on , and not realising that it mutes the signal from the guitar. A talkback mike might be worth considering for the PA guy.

You could use a mic splitter/combiner so you could feed both the PA and a Behringer P2. https://artproaudio.com/patchbayssplitters/product/282112/splitcompro

Interesting... I've always found them a bit thin and scratchy sounding. Unless I'm thinking of a different Behringer SM58 knock-off.

Vocal Microphones, what are you using?
Chienmortbb replied to Phil Starr's topic in PA set up and use
BBC Sound people often prefer the XM8500, if given a choice between the two. I suspect it is easier to EQ for radio/TV sound. -
Show us your rig of choice for the weekend ** Basschat edition**
Aliwobble replied to bassace97's topic in Amps and Cabs
I very much rate the Eden d210xst. That's why I've kept it all these years. I have tried other cabinets, including Markbass, Mesa etc. But I keep coming back to the Eden. It is a bit on the heavy side, though. -
I agree - has me debating if I need two. -
Clear-out: Various pedals / power / small gear
Schlippy replied to EmmettC's topic in Effects For Sale
Those Boba Fuzz pedals are fantastic, it's a 1:1 clone of the Zvex Mammoth with an added mids control on the Body dial. Looks like Vinnie's knocked his eBay shop on the head as well so there's no new ones available- 1 reply

The XM8500 is a truly nasty mic, but it is good to see that you have found its niche!
-
That necks could sound much different is a moot point. During the To d Ward much was made of the body material without realising that the string passes the neck for we over 50% of its playing length. While I suspect that the pickups and other electrics have most effect it is interesting to hear other people’s opinions.

They always keep these OEM arrangements close to their chests. I know Fender Strings are made by D’Addario now Sadowsky could be using anyone’s.

Stunner! Shame about the weight.... -
Didn't you buy a lovely looking Japanese Jazz in the Summer, WoT? Lovely looking example of an AVII you have there! If you get a good one, the American Vintage/Original/Vintage II Jazzes are some of the very best around. I know what people mean about the side dot markers - the ones on my American Original just about disappear on a dark stage, but it's no real issue usually. It looks like yours has a single piece back, too. That always improves resonance. I've been very impressed by the '66 pickups (used a set in a custom build bass earlier this year and just bought some more for my MGCS/Aurok Walnut/Graphite Jazz build. Oh, and Lollipop tuners for the win! Congrats

MARSHALL BB-2 Not to be confused with the original Bluesbreaker pedal, which was essentially a preamp-in-a-box - this is a dedicated, dual-mode overdrive pedal. "Boost" mode is a transparent-sounding clean boost, designed to push the front end of your amp harder, while "Blues" mode gives a much more shaped (and saturated!) tone, reminiscent of the original Bluesbreaker amps being dimed. I bought this pedal back in something like 2010. It was my main distortion effect for a while, and did a handful of gigs with me, but as I've experimented with new effects and different amps, I find myself using it less and less. I still have the original box and user's manual, which are a little worn in places (see pictures); the pedal itself is in excellent condition. Only one thing: the controls originally had black position indicators painted on them, which have mostly rubbed off over the years. Up to you whether you leave them as is, or paint some new ones on! Price includes postage to mainland UK. If you'd like it sent to a different country, drop me a PM. Open to sensible offers!
