    Rather than open a new thread, figured I'd keep it tidier and re-use this one! Peitho - new single out 1st August. If anyone is into the genre and uses Spotify, giving the pre-save a click will really help us out! Cheers https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/awakeneternity/peitho

    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

    For sale, recently purchased on here, Elektron Digitone synth module, selling at the price I paid, in great condition. Reason for sale, too complicated for my aging, feeble mind. This is what Elektron say about the Digitone. The Digitone provides a simplified and revitalized take on FM synthesis and a prime source of new sounds and timbres. Digitone makes use of a combination of FM sound generation and subtractive synthesis across four synth tracks letting you easily dive from jagged chaos to mellow soundscapes. Pick your algorithm and uncover rich and musical sounds of a crystalline, electric, or metallic nature. £295

    Maybe the previous owner was a guitarist? You’d need to have it hosed down if so as they can carry mites and ticks, especially if they haven’t been kept in captivity and given vetenary care
  11. Beer of the Bass
    This is entirely conjecture, but with the melodic approach and dexterity around the instrument that La Faro was going for, I suspect that if he hadn't been sadly lost so early he might have been an enthusiastic convert to light gauge flexible steels like Spiro lights or Lycons through the 60s. You can kind of hear that he's pushing beyond the older type of gut sound, I feel.
  12. Ask the bass
    Sorry cant help you with that. But I do have this, it is purple/blue/green depending on the light, I dinged it the first time I took it out so it stays on the wall now 🙄

    There was a time when they didn’t know the neck varnish attacked decals, and there was a time when the decal sat on top of varnish with no coating, conceivably the damage could be attributable to those causes, however there should also be a fair bit more decal there

    Absolutely stunning bass. Lovely job on the photos too 👌

    I had a look at the specs, specifically the neck measurements, and they seemed a bit odd - had to translate the measurements from quaint to proper, but the nut depth is given as 1.8mm (0.072") and the 12th fret depth is 28mm (1.1"). I suspect the decimal point got moved over for the nut depth, the 12th fret depth seems really thick. I've dropped them a message to ask about it.

    I never realised how complicated cab design could be I'm trying to save a bit of weight over the Ampeg SVT212 which is 30Kg and as stated in my original message, I have a couple of Eminence neos I'd like to find a home for

    I got the burst first - it was my first shortie and it was very cheap so it was an experiment. I loved it apart from the neck dive. The stock pickup was crap as were the controls - really on/off with no gradient to turning the knobs. But the basic construction was good enough to make upgrades worth it. The Sandberg was my 50th birthday present from my wife, and while I was waiting for that (custom order took about a year) the cream one came up on here so I grabbed it. I had planned on stripping it but when it arrived the colours worked far better than I expected. That one was quite badly set up when I got it (sorry to whoever it was) with a really high action. I think at some point the neck had been off and it hadn't been properly seated again when reassembled. That was an easy fix and now the action is nice and low. The EMG P-X version of their pickup is a lot better than the stock EMG P. More headroom and more mids so it sounds more like a proper P but with more output. The tone control on the X series actually does something too! It's my first choice for plectrum rock stuff.

    Had a practice Tuesday evening with the covers band. Went through four new song that may make the setlist hopefully. Pink Floyd Money, Jackson Browne Dr My Eyes, David Bowie Space Oddity and The Who Won't Get Fooled Again....really enjoyed them and all sounding pretty good for a first attempt. Played through a bassrig super vintage with my BB2000 and got a pretty good Entwhistle sound, I was going for the isolated Shepperton sound. Eb3 for JB and Bowie numbers. Were a long way off playing these out but a good start.

    @fretmeister’s post reminded me of your question. Has anybody mentioned the Sire U5 shortie? It’s a P/J. I have the fretless version, which I really love and I think it sounds really good. The fretted version comes in at just under £400 at Thomann. It has a lovely rolled fretboard and quiet (very little hum) pickups. It is a Jazz style neck (38mm nut) which might not suit all and the headstock shape is a bit odd. I reckon it is very well made for the price and looks good. Whether it sounds like your take on a full scale Fender P bass, only you can tell but I would recommend you check it out. It’s a lot cheaper than Sandberg and Maruszczyks, so less of an expensive mistake.

    Hi, I've put in the speaker parameters and run a quick check. Get ready for a blizzard of graphs. The first thing is that these speakers are underdamped, basically the magnets/motor systems are small giving a very 'American' approach to bass. The sort of warm/bloated sounded you might expect from Ampeg To get lotsof deep bass extension and a flat response they would need a huge cabinet. This is a pair of them in a 100,200 and 300litre enclosure The one in bold is the 100l cab which is roughly the size you are planning. The 300l cab gives you output down to roughly 33Hz -10db and the flattest response but you wouldn't want to fit a 300l cab into a car never mind carry it. However you probably wouldn't want that much bass anyway in a gig situation. I just want to show you the choices you are making

    Hi Martin, I've had a quick look on the Eminence website and these speakers look like they would work in a 50l cab or 100l for the pair. They are very high efficiency and have Eminence's typical midrange peak so good for creating an old school sound. Eminence used to offer cab designs for all their speakers but I can't find them as they have re-built their website. The designs may still be there of course. In performance the basslites will be very similar to the ceramic magnet Beta12-2A as used in dozens of commercial cabs so you'll end up with something sounding like TC/Markbass etc etc. Not exactly, but in that sort of ball park If you are a valve man you'll probably be looking for that sort of sound rather than FRFR anyway so they could be a great match.

    Hi all, I had a recent request from @police squad for help with a 2x12 design. I've started to do this via PM but thought other people have asked for similar designs and people might like to follow the design process. Basically it involves me asking a series of stupid questions to home in on exactly what he is going to try to achieve. Then I run computer models and ask more questions to home in on what I hope will be his best speaker. Anyway this was his initial question

    Sire V/P7 and above tuners (the Grover 142 copies, £24 for a 4 string set from NW Guitars) are generally very good though, I wouldn't confuse them with the budget machine heads you find on ultra cheap basses. In fact in the early days of gen 1 Sire basses they did use the cheap and nasty tuners and a fair few people (myself included) complained about them, they switched to the better ones partway through gen 1 V7 production. I actually put a set of (ex-Sire) Grover copies on one of my Arias and they were a massive improvement, better than the Wilkinsons I have on my fretless.

    I have a flight case, funnily enough given the title, where the foam has got really tatty. I'm looking for a replacement for it, the grey smooth stuff, not the bath sponge stuff., does anyone a) know what it's called so I can search for it and b) anywhere to buy it from?
  29. hpc364
    Well, about theory I'm classical trained, jazz theory is easier. Terms are different between the two worlds, sometimes jazzers call tonal what is modal in classical music. When jazzers talk about harmony they overthink what it's supposed to be simple and it's actually simple. They sometimes play inversions or substitutions thinking they are genius and overthink them with a lot of esoteric and philosophical feelings. Some don't even understand them and hate them, and want the rhythmic section to work like a karaoke tape. With classical players, you don't have to explain, they know what's happening. Since nothing is really written, ears are wild open (in a trio context). Real bass players : they bow.
