Well Rich It looks the Bizz. But what does it sound like - and what bridge is that and what preamp did you go for in the end

My backs OK but have really bad pain in my left elbow - tennis elbow ish. After a long gig last Saturday. A bit like carpel tunnel I believe all those tendons go through- round the funny bone there on the way to your forearm and hand. Holding my arm in the playing position is painful but lifting heavy things etc no problem? will this just ease off or do i need the quack

Thanks for that [b]Dis' [/b]just got a bit of GAS at the moment. I love my MB 500 so the Carvin would have to be good. But the spec of the Carvin with Contour and two para's + graphic is damn good. I supose i could just get me an MXR graphic pedal watch this space

I ran the old PB500 (ProBass 500) some years ago, played it for about 12 years from the mid 90's Loved it. It was 250 watt stereo or bi amp or 500w bridged. similar features to the BX1600. I don't need that volume these days but I am thinking about changing my MB500 fusion for the BX700 for the graphic flexility and low high para mids available to control your sound. I found my old one to be very reliable and sounded great.

Just read this three times to pick my way through the changes. The guy obviously does not know what he is doing so forget him and find someone who does. Series is a safe option as the current delivered by your amp will pass evenly through both speakers, but the impedance at 20 ohms is going to seriously cut the output level from your amp. The other configuration = parallel will split the power unevenly in favour of the lower resistance speaker possibly frying it. But recheck what you are telling us when you mean Cab say cab and when you mean speaker say speaker, as i am getting confused suggestion wire the good existing 10" at 8 ohm in series with the new 10" at 4 ohm replacement = 12 ohm (2x10") cab . then run this cab in parallel with the 8 ohm 15" until you get the right replacement. ? good luck but you would prob be better off running just the one good old 10" speaker in the (2x10)cab in parallel with the 15" cab giving you 4 ohms.

Is this position open to English bass players as well as Cornish bass players after today’s announcement, would I need to show my passport at the Tamar?

Swamp ash would be my choice. set fire to it, then acid wash it to bring the grain out then use it as a coffee table for about five years before you drill any holes in it. well thats what mine looked like, sounded great though

Without putting my thinking head on and calculating this, it will be just under the 4 ohms total, from the simple fact that two 8ohms in parallel wil give you 4 ohms. But the main concern to me would be that the 2x10 at 6 ohms will take the most power and depending on the efficiency of the 10's compared to the 15" the sound could be quite unballanced from each cab. I feel this may be more of a problem than the total impedance the amps sees, as the extra cone area may result in you not being tempted to drive the rig too hard?? un balanced sound levels due to unknown speaker efficiency is the risk here.

Having come from Trombone into Function bands prior to playing Bass I was fortunate to play in the county Orchestra, and have to say you sit there after the final note and think did we make that sound. It is addictive even if you have to count more bars rest than you actually play. I should mention that half the Orchestra was made up from the local Girls grammar school. Music's been good to me

[attachment=159246:At Last Bass (2).jpg] just seeing if this works wow it did, we do this as 4 piece female vocal, bass and guitar intro, we repeat D back to A as guitar solo and finish with the scribled two bars below the line instead of the last two bars writen before D last time. watch the bar before D on the repeat use your ears.

Looks right to my dots will PM

I bought one direct from the states it cost a lot with import duties, and carriage. I'm Glad to hear you can now buy them here. I installed it in a passive Schack bass, now sold (my big regret). I would buy another in fact if I ever have a passive bass again it would have one, probably do away with the volume knob and just have this. I would disagree with Happy jack, for me I found this very useful in a live band situation there is a real difference in each capacitor per notch. You may have to move 4 clicks to notice a change playing live but the 16 positions do give you a different sweet spot to balance against your amp or cab sound so not suggesting 4 notches would do. you may find position 2, 4, 6, 10 and 16 work one night but the next gig its 1, 3, 7,8 and 11 are the dogs In my opinion worth the money a great product.

It was very good, best compliment would be to acknowledge his timing, No click track there. But cant help thinking he would be best off spending the time painting the bathroom or digging the garden. Is he being held against his will in a music shop ?

you crept in there while i was on the tube +1

That reminds me -must dig out my ole Stranglers stuff I'm with Muzz on that suggestion http://youtu.be/OYqllpnyWrY

Oh and this one, I have the dots to this if anyone is interested This is so very much a pick number I have real difficulty as a finger player doing it justice, as the track relies on the pick up and pick down motion attacking the next string above and below in the fraises. Hats off to you pick guys. http://youtu.be/HxEhMoKohzQ

check this from 1:35 min You say Pick and i think of this instrumental section. http://youtu.be/llFJ-MwwMck

obbm - can i come at listen I was thinking this would be nice on a double Berg

There was one at the bass show last week, looked very nice, but cant understand how a £2000 amp has an optional £100 footswitch. If I had a spare £2k kicking arround i would get one.

Had my picture taken with Lee Sklar and realised i am getting more like him not shaving for the rest of my life is the easy part but i must practice more if i am really going to carry it off.

I'm with ezbass on the show summary. I was hoping to get some strings and new guitar lead, but no real choice on offer. Noise was down but still exhausting. I also noticed that Bernie Goodfellow looked somewhat pissed with noise from his neighbours, trying a bass is one thing but organised bass duet sessions on a stand ?? he should have a refund.

Great to see Bluejay, yesterday. saw Lee Sklar and TM. most impressed with Rikkers bass guitars very nice. also liked the small Boogie valve amp.
