That's some cracking info - shame about the stage but hey! May well take a venture to the other side of town Saturday morning Thanks

Got to say, I smiled reading the header! I'm in the same position ATM with my shuttle 6!

hi there, our band are supporting GUN this friday at the box? in glasgow, whats the stage like up there, how much space will we have, and what are the engineers like? first time up there, so also looking at what music shops are worth checking out up there! cheers all (ps - our band is NG26, check us out on youtube!)

splendid - ideally i'd like to keep it in a rack (i seem to remember that being a pedal) currently running my hyperdrive out the rpm's unaffected out then rpm and hyperdrive through a stereo power amp, getting close, but no cigar lol

there was a touch of overdrive on the sansamp, but not that much - if you can hear it, the lows are quite deep and fairly clean - this was the sound we left it with, then the studio we sent it to has added the extra distortion on the top end. thats just my opinion, let me know if you think its distorted across the full range. may need a system with a sub to hear the lows, normal computer speakers don't really give you the depth! thanks

ok, so here's a track we recorded for the new album, then sent it away for mix and master [attachment=61657:NG26___Otherside.mp3] thing is, distortion was added to it, so how do i get it live? in the studio i used punisher (emg goodness) sansamp rpm (DI'd) ampeg svt3 (just to power the cabs) ampeg 115en (miked) marshall 2 12 gu**ar cab (miked) i believe the distortion was only added to the guitar cab channel? was looking at the sansamp rbi or psa1 to try and re create it, obviously i will be splitting the channels to different amps and cabs but am i best to look at guitar distortion or one of these units? is a crossover needed? low end is more than nicely dealt with with the rpm through the 15 btw! thankyou my fellow bass chatters!!

Nice one mate, gigging is my favourite bit about being in a band, and it should be a fun experience! Just don't end up like the ex bass player lol, where will you be gigging?

You seen the svt 7? O know it's light but I don't know how light? Other option is sansamp plus light power amp

asy idea on if the qsc gx5? its just much cheaper than the plx series! thanks for the quick responce!

hey there! i'm looking for a power amp (2 channel) that will fit in a shallow rack and max 2u height! absolute maximum 14" deep bonus points for black and cheap(ish) preferably a decent name too! thankyou fellow basschatters! just thought - more specs might be useful! need min 600w per side at 4ohm was looking at the crown xls series (weight not really an issue) but it is 15.2" deep if we can't find it, i'll have to resort to a deep rack! (just gonna be massive at 6u and everything else is shallow) other things going in: line 6 g90 dtr 1000 sansamp rpm sansamp rbi power amp!

i have essentially the same set up - the g90 is awesome! simply brilliant the dtr1000 i have had for 8 years and never had a simgle problem, just sits there doing its job! the sansamp rpm does REALLY fat low end amazingly well, next purchaces are the rbi (for top end grit) and my own power amp (borrowing the bands PA one atm) send em to 2 different cabs (i'm using 15's for the rpm and 10's for the top) using a distortion pedal atm for the dirty top and the difference is i have to rum the power amp at nearly twice the volume as its not a proper pre amp! but yes good choices none the less!

Boomers - yes they do go dull quickly but only to the level of new rotos!

i know i'm gonna get shot down for this - but i've used the ampeg 810, 410he, 410hlf and 115e in the practice room - the only one gthat made the whold band go "f***in hell!" was the 115. theory is one thing, hearing is another, and to my ears theres a big difference between a big driver and a small one thats well ported! i've always thought its the bass that gets people moving, not the drums (that just gives them something to dance to thats easy to pick up) hence why clubs and dance music get more people jigging than rock or whatever. like i say, i know i'm gonna get shot down for this, but i can hear (and feel) a big difference....... the same is also true for precision versus jazz *runs for cover*

Ibanez or Schecter are very worthy basses - especially at under £ 400! Very nearly bought an omen extreme 5 myself!

First try the removing foam bit, definitely try rounds but active emgs bang out a LOT more bass than passives, I have emgs on my punisher and it's just awesome! Could also try Seymour Duncan quarter pounders too if you don't want it eating batteries every couple of months! Have fun and report back!

Sansamp rpm and power amp. Simples! Lol
