A thread for Basschatters who have an interest in HIFI
PaulWarning replied to leroydiamond's topic in General Discussion
this poped up in a google search, no phono input though, are they any good? https://electromarket.co.uk/skytronic-av400-stereo-amplifier-400w-compact-home-audio-power-amp-silver -
Hi David, the truth is I haven't tried it yet. I'm not really big on recording other than laying down some bass lines so my duo partner can do solo gigs without me. We've been busy together over Christmas and we have a couple of gigs this month so nothing has been pressing. We've also had a lot of guests staying over the festive perion but the last one left this morning. I'll try something as soon as I get time and let you know. Everything else about the Flow 8 is better than my old Alesis so I'm expecting it should be OK in that area but the proof is in the eating. We will see

Yes. As an example Ford make over 4 million vehicles per year which contain many more complex parts than a relatively simple guitar / bass. It's all in the processes & systems.

That's what I suspect, also if groove to base distance is a bit long as well it might rattle in the socket.

I played one of these at guitar guitar and it beat all their other basses hands down for playability and feel. It was way better setup than any of the US fenders they had.

I can't find one either, that's why I asked on here -
Gibson famously added an extra serial number to US production a few years back, implying they were making more than 999 guitars a day. Can you maintain quality control if you’re under pressure to make that many?? Also worth checking out the various YouTube factory tours of the cort and Yamaha factories for an idea of the scale of production. It’s nuts!

My sentiments exactly! I don't know what the Fender marketing guys have got for brains. They don't seem to understand that they are trading in a global market with a world-wide shop window. Any attempt to segment the market in a way that appears to disadvantage certain countries (in this case the UK, EU and USA!!) will pi$$ many customers off to the point where brand loyalty is eroded - or even turns into 'brand hostility' over time. And that's really bad news for Fender given that their competitors are routinely matching or beating them in terms of quality and value for money nowadays. -
Now just £310.00. This amazing emulation of the acoustic control corporation 360 preamplifier with variamp and built in fuzz is up for grabs. Hand made by the renowned JC Maillet and commissioned and imported by myself at great cost. I have used the 360+ for studio recordings, gigs, rehearsals and at home, it has never dissapointed. The preamp sounds fantastic and the fuzz section is the best I have used. I have owned this pedal for a good few years from new, as can be seen it's in pristine condition. Specially sourced UK power supply also included. Will happily run from other sources with the right leads (I used it with a trex chameleon). Fully detailed printed instruction manual also included. Only available as I have more preamplifiers than I can use. Try out/collection always welcome, or UK insured postage for £15.00

That's great to know, we've visited a few times and we're viewing a couple of house next week, it seems a lovely place to live and should suit our needs perfectly. -
Well strange how things work. Yesterday evening a band i used to play in uploaded a video of facebook described as their current band. So i decided to watch it to hear what they now sound like. As the video started and the musicians were hidden by generous stage fog, i thought .... hmm that sounds just like my alembic bass and how I played that song and wondered who the new bass player was as it sounded like me. When the cloud cleared and I could see all the members I realised it was me with my alembic. So maybe I do have a recognisable sound to some extent. So made me wonder why it wasn't a video of the current band.
-
Similar for me: The band needs a showreel and I'd like it if everyone could get off their notes/tablets. Although saying that, I think that particular band I take it for what it is and my ambitions are limited. It's fun but I'm not particularly inspired to do much more than turn up and play the set list (which I don't really need to rehearse anymore). My music ambitions are now mostly Piano/Organ stuff and to do formal lessons and exams. Me (possibly on bass, or keys), a drummer, and a keys player have a vague plan to put together a live band playing 90s sort of house music.

@PaulWarning from a quick scan through richer sounds it looks like mid controls are no longer a thing. Maybe a pre-power setup with the eq in between them? Matt -

As per above, you can put your existing graphic eq in the Tape loop. -

Marus Elwood 5A 5 string in "old violin" weighing in at a rather comfy 10lbs exactly. 34" Purchased new in July 2022 by the original owner who seemingly never used it. New La Bella white nylons Delano pups configured jazz neck MM bridge. Vol / bal / active 2 band EQ with 3 way mini toggle and push/pull passive option. Cond 9.9 / 10 has certificate / manual / Marus gigbag. Seems to have an endless array of tone options. Just not using it at the moment. as the Warwick is the current squeeze. Welcome to try it out, tea coffee, biscuits and amusing anecdotes provided. Collection from Ashill IP25 ideally, but could send if buyer books the courier and accepts FULL responsibility for the pick up and delivery. Price firm on this

I have one of these. Very good but very clean sound. Keep it in my partner's lounge so small and pretty are big plusses. I use the C4 and Joyo Bantamp in my office/music room and the pairing sounds wonderful.

I contacted Phill to ask a similar question. To paraphrase he said 'we don't quote sensitivity as we don't feel it's useful'. I took that as code for 'not very efficient', nonetheless I bought a C4. It sounds great, and is not very efficient. I have used it at an 'cajon' jam with an Elf and it was fine. Gigged it once, up on a stool it worked as a monitor but I leaned heavily on the PA for foh in a venue where I would not normally need any pa support at all.

bit overkill for my needs, as I said I've already got an equalizer, all I want is something to cut around the 1K mark, just an amp with a mid tone control would probably be enough
