[quote name='RichF' timestamp='1414249316' post='2587494'] blown away by Slaves [/quote] One of my local bands - really nice guys and a fantastic live act.

It's been 25 years since I last picked one up, but that bass is still my favourite ever by a country mile. It virtually played itself.

Or add a few quid more and get this -[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/246901-mxr-m87-bass-compressor-l99-posted/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/246901-mxr-m87-bass-compressor-l99-posted/[/url] That's one hell of a comp pedal for <£100

Are you any good at soldering? Monte Allums does a range of mods that you could do yourself for less than half the price of getting these guys to do it. Otherwise selling the CS-3 and putting the money the mod would cost could get you a nice brand new comp like the Budda Chakra, or a potentially better used EBS multi-comp on here.

[quote name='TomWIC' timestamp='1408455359' post='2530321'] May I ask what model rack you're using and where you got it from please? [/quote] Google up swanflight. It came from there.

You'll also want the earth connection to the bridge.

I have crossed paths with a couple of members of Suede - Matt Osman sat in front of me one year in Primary school and Brett Anderson and I were in the same class for something in sixth form.

Another recommendation for Reverbnation. Plus you can use it to "drive" your Facebook and Twitter etc

Big rack and a couple of 8X10s

Another rack fan here. Got mine a few months ago. 8u rack on castors with Hartke LH500, 2u drawer, power distribution strip with lights. Korg Pitchblack pro incoming. Want to get a rack compressor too. Yes it's weighty, but the castors make it an easy push. Two leads to plug in and it's already to make noise

Great collection Megallica, really glad my bass went to someone who really wanted it.

Did similar a while back. My last covers band had a decent PA - 32 Channel desk, various processors, 4.5K of power amps and Turbosound subs and mid-tops. A little Ashdown EB180 was sufficient for rehearsals and at gigs worked well as a personal monitor with a DI out to the PA for FOH.

I've just sold Megallica a bass. Great guy to deal with and a really nice guy.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1390917388' post='2351234'] Why do I keep thinking of a Warwick Corvette...... [/quote] Dammit..... Coffee and screen moment

I've yet to see/hear a Basschatter's band that I haven't enjoyed but to name a few I've particularly enjoyed - The Jetsonics (Low End Bee) - Great tunes with a flavour that takes me back to my childhood/early teens. The Plan (Waynepunkdude) - A lot of fun. Wheels (I don't know his username, but I do know he does come on here from time to time) - fantastic songs and playing from a great bunch of musicians. Burning Organ (Silverfoxnik) - now sadly over I believe, but simply an awesome covers band that can (could?) fill a pub anywhere. Top of my list though is In Tyler We Trust (Hernandoitwt) - great songs, great musicians and absolutely lovely guys. On top of their performance as a live act, we're in the the same town, we've played the same local festivals, my singer's engineered one of their festival sets, I've stage managed one of their festival sets and they played a support set at my band's last headline show. Throughout, they've been reliable, friendly and had a thoroughly professional attitude. As someone who is involved behind the scenes they're a breath of fresh air - turn up on time with everything they need, set up and efficiently soundcheck when asked and break down straight after the set. Having worked four days across two festivals last year, they're one of the acts that gave us no headaches or nasty surprises. And that is very rare 'round here.

Not so much a disappointment, more of a frustration. I've lusted after a Warwick Thumb for years but could never justify the price. I did pick up a Warwick Corvette at a great price though. Great tone, playable, etc etc. But the degree of adjustability built into Warwicks is ridiculous. Spent more time fettling the thing than playing it.

I thought it showed how many nurses are required for help getting on and off stage

[quote]it is not even rack mountable [/quote] MB do sell rackmount ears for the TTE

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1389025741' post='2328969'] The Heil gets mixed response from a lot of sound guys. I had a guy turn his nose up at it so I said to him, set your EQ on your channel strip flat, turn your gain down from where you'd have a 58... then come back and tell me you don't think it beats crap out of a 58. I think everybody sees Heil as broadcast mics. To be honest, their dynamic PR40 will beat most low end condenser mics in the studio. Very underrated mics. In fact, the PR35 sounds ace on pretty much everything you want to throw at it! [/quote] I really rate his PR35. The engineer at our local venue was trying to work out what the hell was going on when our singer first plugged it in. When he found out it's a Heil he was really happy. As far as he was concerned it was MUCH easier to place in the mix due to the flatter frequency response. He'd just been bamboozled that suddenly there was a lot more top end than with the 58s. The filter switch is good too. Almost completely cuts out any handling noise. [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1389025741' post='2328969']I was wondering the exact system he was using to see if he could change the capsule on the wireless transmitter. With a lot of the Shure stuff, it's only the real top end stuff that has the removal capsules. I'm investing in more ULXDs I think... and they will be having the Heil capsules put on them. [/quote] Oh God, more wireless gear is the last thing he needs.... It all ends up piled in "bass corner" at gigs.
