Ok, so this is still going, due to size limitations. Its a big deep cab, hence its big deeep sound. Decent hardware on this, might get stripped soon if no-one claims. It moves easily.

I think you should hang on to your first bass. Work with it, new strings on it will be a sound revelation if the strings were old when you got it. Plus the bit of extra unplugged volume when you are jammin about the house is a bonus. Just keep an ear to the ground for a jazz, you can pick them up for no money sometimes.

So I bought one of the jobbies from Maplins on Saturday, and was all packing up my stuff to take to practice tomorrow. Busting open the packaging and the edge of the plastic gashes my palm. Proper, 'ooh,look at the cut edges, just shallow enough there's no blood. No, wait, theres the blood.'. Also, why is this not stickied?

The stack know plate I bought had resistors in, wired together to the output (I think), guessed it was to stop the two sognals bleeding into eachother.

This looks a lot like the butchered 'Ibanez' that was local to me.

Yep, sat here, in the way. Dammit, you turned it down twice when I was trying to sell it. Come get it any time, you have my number.

He is ludicrously tall and definitely isn't Steve Vai. Think he was taught by Paul Gilbert.

My band makes bad sounds. I blew up my cab. I touched a 9 volt battery arcross my speaker lead to check the speakers were in phases and all move in same direction. Oh noes, DC into my speakers making them suck inward. But then I touched it across the other way and they went outwards, so now its AC and they are all good.

See, I was all expecting of a embedded video or a link here.

Now I've got to do that ploughing through boxes of cds trying to find it, dammit.

Gotta be some traelling between Cardiff and Bristol going on, two adjacent major cities. Ask about.

I would seriously NOT recommend this for bass given the volume I'm sure you're playing at . If you want a decent Marshall guitar amp for top-end bass crunch, you'd be better with a JMP or JCM800 single-channel MV amp, they have less of a tendency to double as a smoke machine . (And they sound far better too.)[/quote] Wheres that issue come from? Didn't crank it that much, gain channel sounded aids, so ran it clean. Tried a vintage modern (if thats what you meant by MV) didn't think much of it tbh. Really only used the JCM600 cause I have it about. Have a 70s carlsbro 100w head thats more the part, but its also got the dodge power lead and isn't really mine to change.

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='312287' date='Oct 22 2008, 04:43 PM']Why not post a soundclip when you're done - nice to hear it...[/quote] Rocked it as is last night in practice, sounded great. Paired it with a Marshall JCM600 into a 4x10 for some top (make up for single guitarist). Filled the place with low end.

[quote name='joegarcia' post='311888' date='Oct 22 2008, 10:56 AM']This was really good when it was working. Really well made too. Come on, someone take it out of our living room![/quote] Might be pushing it a bit hard there. Good and well made considering it looks like a scruffy home made POS. Its big but very portable due to handles and wheels. Quite possible to take a run up and ride it like a shopping trolley (which is all its good for with a blown speaker).

So guitarist suggested I put more treble in my sound, and my cab responded by dying. Been replaced by my new vintage rig. So its now a huge non-functioning box sat around the place. Its a home made job, decent caster handle and a round grill over the front, which I would guess would be its value. If it doesn't go complete I'll strip these bits for my other cab, but with a new speaker, it will be functional again. Pickup in Stokes Croft, Bristol.

Mines there too actually. Ha.

Did you check out the Christian Rock mosh pit (points for reference spotting)? Pretty damn sure getting a bunch of people together to make music for a reason other than liking music is a very good thing, how else would you find out that you love making music with other poeple. That Lydia on youtube with the playing some Marcus Miller song with the bouncy Fender top is from a really Christian family, thats what being brought up singing and loving music can do for you. Not really sure why I know that actually.

I'm down the road from you in Stokes Croft, I can do it. Right next door to the Croft.

Shall we play match the comment to the basschatter. I can see Bassassins.
