they're going new for about a grand... (google is the magic word) but you can get some very nice boutique basses on here for a thousand pounds.. It's hard to put a value on it in this marketplace, but less than £500 would be my guess..

One of the Behringer DI boxes has a 0/-20db/-40db cut I happened to notice over the weekend... .I'm sure it's cheap - it was certainly quiet... Cheers Mark [quote name='Lozz196' post='1211196' date='Apr 25 2011, 08:38 PM']This seems to be a problem with OTB. There is a similar thread on here about this, which advised that and you can get a DI Box (or something like that) that works at -40 db, so rectifies this. Am sure the OTB Club will be able to inform of the specific item.[/quote]

Cool. When are you playing? We're on at noon on Sunday :-) I'm just taking the RH450 and Barefaced Super 12... CHeers Mark [quote name='fryer' post='1210819' date='Apr 25 2011, 01:19 PM']What - not use the Peavey ? It's the Beechstock festival, near High Wycombe. Not sure about the DI - still trying to find out. If we are using that, do I just take the DI from the Firebass ?[/quote]

How about one of these? :-) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300529247557&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url] BTB Prestige.. 35" scale....

Got my Barefaced S12T (2 x 12 + tweeter) a couple of weeks ago.. Gigging it next Sunday, but I'm so impressed using it at home and at practices... At 40 odd pounds it's light, and it sound nicer (and as loud) than a single EBS proline 410 - more bass, more open and a faster sound.... Not as "warm" (indistinct?) as the EBS, but that's not an issue for me..

I've used 130 elixirs and DR's on my 34" Ibanez and they both work well...

Something like that.. My RH450 seems stable into 2 x EBS Proline 410's at a nominal 2 ohms without any issues after a loud three hour rehearsal... But of course that's my choice and I don't recommend this to anyone else... Equally my HK Basebass 600 is clearly marked "4 ohms only" at the back, but the spec sheet quotes power at 2 ohms.. Again this seems happy driving my EBS rig at 2 ohms... Again this is my choice and I don't recommend anyone else try this in a carefree manner :-) Cheers Mark [quote name='Sparky Mark' post='1209941' date='Apr 24 2011, 12:03 PM']So is this a marketing ploy, make an amp that's 3 ohm capable, but tell everyone it's 4 ohm that can magically work with 3 of their 8 ohm cabs?[/quote]

Or you can daisy chain cabs (subject to ohms etc) if your cab has input/output sockets like my EBS 410's do...

I think Eric Czar used to play a 5-string conklin.. Tone was to die for - like a Thumb, but more so...

This any help?

However, myself and the guitarist seem to be playing different things. Anyone got the chords for this one? Please Thanks.[/quote]

It's missing... 3 x presets / support for RC4 footswitch Inbuilt Tuner Digital out And you can't shift the frequency mid points of the tone controls.. [quote name='fretmeister' post='1207264' date='Apr 21 2011, 05:03 PM']Forgive my ignorance here - what is the difference between the RH450 and the Classic? Is it just the light up controls?[/quote]

Duracell Procell PP3's have a pretty good price/performance ratio.. Should be able to pick up a 10 pack for a tenner on evilbay...

Surely there's a difference between reading and not knowing what notes you're playing? [quote name='Wil' post='1200499' date='Apr 15 2011, 11:47 AM']As much as Bilbo will claim otherwise, in 10 years of playing in various originals bands I've not met a single reader of music.[/quote]

Whereabouts in Warwickshire are you/where do you rehearse? And what night(s)? Cheers Mark [quote name='gazza' post='1199241' date='Apr 14 2011, 11:51 AM']Just a feeler to see if anyone is interested. We may be needing a bassist soon (due to the current one being so bloody unreliable!) for a rock covers band, song include some Foo Fighters, (Best of You, The Pretender, Times Like These), The Clash (Should I Stay), Feeder (Buck Rogers), Chilis, Lenny Kravitz, etc. Line up is 2 guitars, drums and male and female vocals.[/quote]

Just back from rehearsal.. Most impressed.. Fab tone and easily enough volume.. . I'm away for a few days but will add pictures and a detailed review/comparison when I get back next week...

And the original ad said he had used both of them at a practice... which makes things weirder... Because if he did I assume (perhaps dangerously) he was plugged into 220-240V... Mark [quote name='Sibob' post='1198349' date='Apr 13 2011, 04:03 PM']Right, where are we upto? Customer unhappy that he's sold an amp that isn't UK voltage compatible....website seemingly says it is....? Si[/quote]

My brand new (my first bit of brand new speakerdom ever!) S12T has just arrived.. Running it off an RH450 - sounds much larger than it looks :-) Taking it to rehearsal tonight, will let you know how I get on... (PS it even has wheels - why? :-) ) CHeers Mark

To quote from Spinal Tap "don't touch it, don't even look at it" [quote name='Blademan_98' post='1196458' date='Apr 12 2011, 07:02 AM']So, hang tags are the tags hanging on a bass when it's hanging on a wall? Cool [/quote]
