The TI Jazz Flats have a very low tension - too low for me to be honest, I prefer a tension more akin to rounds. You might like them

Agreed with this, the 2x10 Rumble combos never sounded good enough to my ears. Strangely, I found it was the high mids/top end that got lost and not the lows. The 1x15 equivalent is quality!

Agreed. I would never buy Schaller again after this, Dunlop Straploks are a much better choice IMO as they don't have any moving parts at all.

Old thread but I quite like the look of this pre - the EQ centres seem quite musically tuned (for my needs anyway). Maybe just a little on the expensive side however.

Spice Girls' 'If You Wanna Be My Lover' - superb low B action Supermen Lovers 'Starlight' - again a smashing low C line In fact, most 90s mainstream pop has some superb playing and production!

How will your vocalists be heard?

Will the bass signal also be going through the PA? If so, you could definitely get away with a smaller combo than if not.

A Ghost tribute act - superb! I absolutely love Ghost, what a brilliant band. Are you tuned in drop D then? Where do you get those masks?

I would argue that something like the Helix *could* sound much better than even the most boutique of old fashioned pedal boards, given the mountain of EQ options and adjustable parameters for each pedal on the Helix and really useful tools like HPF. All of that coupled with no signal loss, worries about true bypass etc etc

Sold Josh a pair of Wizard Pickups - payment was virtually instant after he agreed to buy and communication was excellent with regard to receipt of the package. Enjoy mate!

Looks like RRP of £639 in the UK

I would always employ a producer if I was serious about a project doing well, even just for the external input. It's often more acceptable for a producer to tell a musician he isn't playing the right part than another band member - internal politics! Of course, it has to be someone who you know and trust and who has experience of the genre you are recording.

Just for reference I went with the below speaker on the advice on my amp tech: https://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/eminence-legend-ca-1059-a-8ohm-10-350-watt-bass-guitar-speaker-p-3174.html?zenid=po2nd0atpi6pnu094fgsgqk433 Looking forward to bringing the combo back to her best

Thanks all! Some great options particular in that TB thread. I will pass all info to my amp tech and see which driver he recommends Danny

Hi all The 10" speaker in my beloved Promethean combo has blown the edges of the cone are detaching and it farts at medium volumes Ibanez have discontinued this (fantastic) line of amps and no longer manufacture the speakers, so I can't get a replacement from them. I am wondering what I should do! In theory, any 8 ohm 10" speaker designed for a bass cabinet should work, shouldn't it? Should I be looking at Eminence, Celestion or other brands? Is there anything I need to check with regards to tuning/porting etc? I will definitely have my amp tech put this in so won't be fiddling with it myself. All advice welcome! Thanks Danny

Hi all Just wanted to share my recent positive experience with Ultimate Ears I have bought a replacement cable for my UE11 phones which, after a few gigs, started to fray and eventually the memory flex part split open, rendering it more or less unusable. I was surprised by this as my previous cable lasted for 3 years without any issues. I contacted Ultimate Ears and explained that I was disappointed in this, thinking it might have been a faulty or badly-made cable. I had bought the cable a few months ago and there was no warranty as such, and having paid £60 or so, naturally I lost a little confidence in the brand. One of their Customer Support guys got back to me within a couple of days offering to send me a replacement cable free of charge. Needless to say, I am very impressed by this gesture and am happy to recommend Ultimate Ears again Danny

I think he's just sharing a pic of his bass, I very much doubt that this would ever make it to market as a signature bass

Have You Ever Seen The Rain Brown Eyed Girl I'm A Believer Teenage Dirtbag You Make My Dreams

Any UK dealers for this?

I don't think Larry Hartke has anything to do with Hartke anymore actually. I think he has a title like 'Honorary President' but I think he sold the company a few years ago to Samson who are now in charge of all operations.

Highly recommend the EHX Micro Pog, I think you could get one used for £100 or so. Lovely up/down octave, quite synthy and very accurate.

I did 96 in total last year, probably the quietest year I have had in a decade or so. That reminds me - time to fill the diary with dep gigs!
