Oh that's terrible. You have a fender CS bass with a perfectly aligned neck. Send it back immediately - it must have slipped past the qc radar.

Sansamp. A killer valve sound and really really useful when you have to go through the PA at bigger gigs. Behringer version will do pretty much the same in a slightly less robust but great bang for buck package.

Good stuff. Defo the way to go.

Get a decent head and something like a barefaced cab. You'll scare the crap out of your guitards and you'll never run out of steam.

I have sansamp di on my pedalboard and use it in my effects loop as well as a di box. Most gigs I use all my own gear but if I do backline share at a gig with my originals band then I give sound guy a line from the sansamp. That thing sounds killer and sound guys love them. As it's integral to my sound the shared amp is only a monitor for me so my foh sound is usually pretty much what I want it to be.

Because it allows people like me to watch people like Marta. The fact that she's a great player helps me justify it to my wife and myself no matter how thinly veiled an excuse it is.

Wow, there's some real talent on here. I'd love to hear some of the diy basses (seems really wrong calling the basses diy cos they all look really pro)through a diy preamp into a diy amp through a diy cab etc etc.

That's awesome thanks. I've passed deets over so hopefully she'll be in touch with the band.

Hi, we played a wedding a few weeks back and a friend of the bride has asked her if we know of a decent band in the Northumberland area for her wedding. Does anyone know or play in a band up there? We do pop rock type covers and I think they're looking for something similar. Happy to pass details along to bride to be if you're interested or know anyone. Cheers

I use them when running cables through wall cavities or installing car stereo cables through bulkhead other awkward spaces.

Loving tye fact that the bland dross Coldplay / radiohead type fans are so put out by this. Metallica may not be everyone's cuppa but respect where it's due for a band that have achieved plenty and still deliver live time after time. Lars is still a tool tho. Heard him on radio this morning talking about Glaston-berry.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1399640248' post='2446181'] If you like the sound you get with one PF210, my advice would be to get another one. [/quote] This. It'll be worth the wait and look good. Beyond that go and listen to other cabs. It's a totally subjective thing so buy with your ears not other people's ears. Don't go for cheaper cabs tho. You'll regret it. Good luck and welcome back to gigging!

By choice I would have gone for the 3012ho but I had two of the lf's in the workshop so meant no big outlay. I may swap them out and use the lf's for subs at some point. Not gonna try to talk you out of building something. It's the best feeling when people come up and coo over your kit and then you tell them it's not mass produced but self built. Simplexx is a really nice build to. Really straightforward.

Let's see your self built porn. Guitars, amps, cabs, pedals, racks etc. I'll put my BFM Simplex 1x12's in "funky purple" finish with silver grill cloth up. Eminence Kappalite 3012lf's and Eminence APT80 tweeters. Now show us yours!

Both cabs now finished and sounding great. Super pleased with them. I'll be gigging the whole rig this weekend so will post a review.

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1399186706' post='2441771'] How is the cat? Why did it freak out? [/quote] The cat is ok. He's got an ongoing kidney issue but is over the worst. He freaks out at the vet because he's a shy type of cat and gets really scared. I don't blame him at all as it's totally not in his nature to scratch or bite he just doesn't like strangers and the vet has to examine him thoroughly (lots of squeezing of tummy and back legs) which really upsets him. I hadn't realised how dangerous animal bites are. The doctor was annoyed that i didn't go straight to hospital as pretty much 100% of cat bites that puncture skin get infected. When I told him I was a bass player he pointed out that infections in the hands can do permanent tendon damage if left untreated. On a plus I must say that the staff at Northampton General were great. It's a really well run hospital from what we saw and despite being there at 11pm on a sat night we were in and out in an hour and a half.

Had to cancel gig tonight thanks to our bloody cat. Took the little bugger to the vet this morning and he got so freaked out he bit me. Not just a nip either but right down to the bone in my right hand. Hand now swollen and painful as hell so the wife and I just endured a sat night sat in a&e. Turns out it's a good job we went as they were quick to put my arm in a high sling, administer strong antibiotics and a tetanus shot. Got to go back daily for the foreseeable. Gonna buy the little bugger a toothbrush tomorrow.

[quote name='ape' timestamp='1399119546' post='2441219'] and the genz benz streamliner amps which I've been eyeing up [/quote] Have they still got streamliners in? I'll be there in a shot if they do.

Thanks chaps, I've emailed Hartke returns with pics and copied in Gareth (Hartke Brand manager UK) and Larry Hartke himself. Ideally I just want my money back so I can move on and buy something reliable. Such a shame as the Kilo sounds great...............when it works.

Ask 500 people to put your songs in order and you'll get 500 different lists. Just worry about your set openers and last 4 in each set and you'll be golden. Nice songs btw........except the Coldplay - snore!
