Mr. Foxen

Where is a good place to score one of those in the UK?

[quote name='Rasta' post='653310' date='Nov 13 2009, 08:02 AM']Ampeg SVT 4x10 - Low as 28Hz i believe![/quote] I wouldn't believe that. Proper PA subs don't even do that. I reckon, if you take all your pedals out of your chain and find you have a enough bottom, then an LS2 will sort you, belnd clean in with the effects, have your clean giving you the bottom, maybe a high cut in the other loop for seperation.

What cabs are you tunning? Gotta have somewhere to send the extra power.

If the 6x10 is 3 series pairs at 16 ohm per pair to give 5.3 (6 nominal) and the 2x10 is 16 ohm, then its like running an 8x10 at 4 ohm. Unlikely to have a 16 ohm 2x10 unless you rewire it.

[quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='654816' date='Nov 14 2009, 08:31 PM']Thanks! what about cleaning the frets and the neck?[/quote] Same, its all lacquered, frets just ned to get a nail behind the cloth to go along the edges of frets. Go to a model shop and get a track cleaner, for model railways, good for polishing frets.

Water, detergent, patience and effort. Just slightly damp cloth, avoid unfinished parts with it. Edit: Or sandpaper also seems popular among the 'relic' crowd.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='654633' date='Nov 14 2009, 04:41 PM']So you do that too, Oli? "Base", "Japnese" and "copie" as well... :blush: Jon.[/quote] I did do, it got to the point where I didn't want more basses in my house. All about the messaging pick up only ones and saying " will you unbolt the neck and post it for £20?" now.

Definitely Wishbass for chunkiest neck. Is like a classical guitar neck scaled up, no truss rod.

I spotted that. MAybe its a cunning plan to catch people that search 'giuter' and such to find poorly listed bargains and excitedly buy what is probably a mediocre bass.

[quote name='billphreets' post='654246' date='Nov 14 2009, 09:11 AM']i didnt actually get on with the lomenzo, i was switching it on and off to find a balanced sound when engaged and the thing went kaputt!! brand new!! i took it back to the local music from whence it came, not really a happy camper, that kinda put me off...[/quote] Second one I've come across with a bust switch. Easy fix though.

If you have the luxury of a bit of time to choose, going modular with amp and cab is easier on the carrying and the modifying. Ashdown heads are cheap and there are plenty about, and you could probably do better on a cab, as the lower level Ashdowns aren't spectacular. A peavey 4x10 is heavy but sounds great.

Sure that much coil and magnet should sound beefy. Maaybe try a bunch of strat pickups instead? KEnt armstrong lipsticks are a bit expensive for that many, but should be others about. Are there interesting wiring options that could beef up the sound?

[quote name='Lostheplot' post='654179' date='Nov 14 2009, 12:51 AM']Thanks LOL i'm a girl and currently got a wrecked shoulder so probably couldn't lift it but there's 4 guys in the band so i'm not too worried about the weight! Will have a look at it! How heavy is the Firebass?[/quote] Very heavy. Heavier than some valve amps. Just about anythign else would be lighter.

How strong are you? The Firebass in for sale will totally sort you forever.

I think the Lomenzo Hyperdrive should the the new ODB3, it sounds loads better, plenty of options, good pedal, big though, not one for crowded pedalboards.

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='651216' date='Nov 10 2009, 11:58 PM']I can't believe Alex hasn't chipped in on this one - must be too busy building speakers![/quote] I'd hope so. Too much lecturing on the internet and not enough carpentry is that guys problem. See how Bill makes everyone do their own carpentry leaving him free to tell people stuff on the internet. Cunning chap.

The answer to the question 'should I get a bigger amp?' is always yes. Until you have a big enough amp, then it is time to get more amps. Doom.

Its the DDT light right? Only time I had it on constantly was plugged into a blown, completely screwed cab. ONly occasionally heard it limiting the singla, should be an issue.

Had Winged C reccomended elswhere, for long lastingness, any one tried them?

Ampeg 8x10s don't do really low. MAybe a Aphex Xciter will do what you are after. Try one out, they seem a bit magic.
