If I'm outgunned at this point then I wasn't going to win anyway.[/quote] +1 After all it's an auction, not a classified sale. He who bids most wins regardless of when he bids. Anyone who's been to a live auction knows that. I usually put in an early low bid just to register an interest and then bid my max very late.

[quote name='Currrls' post='439712' date='Mar 19 2009, 08:51 PM']i'd be careful because i think I broke my pedal last night by using a 200mA adaptor with a pedal that requires 23mA :/[/quote] Very unlikely. As long as the voltage is correct the pedal will only take as much current as it needs. Think of a car battery, it can deliver hundreds of amps to the starter motor however it will run just the clock, alarm or radio which require less than an amp.

I've got some Sony MDR-NC22 Noise Cancelling Headphones. Great bass response and ideal for use when mowing the lawn.

[quote name='mildmanofrock' post='437065' date='Mar 17 2009, 11:45 AM']Hi there, can anyone help? I currently have an: * Ampeg SVT-6 Pro amp (with an output power rating of 1100 Watts RMS, 4 ohm load, 120VAC, 5% THD, and 750 Watts RMS, 8 ohm load, 120VAC, 5% THD - I copied and pasted this from the brochure) * Ampeg SVT-410 HLF speaker cabinet (4 ohms impedance). I'd like to add a bit more bottom-end welly to my sound. So, I thought about getting an Ampeg 1x15 speaker. However, the impedance on these in 8 ohms - which is different to my 4 ohms SVT-410 HLF. Could I use an 8 ohms Ampeg 1x15 with my 4 ohms SVT-410 HLF speaker? Or does my choice of second speaker also have to be 4 ohms? If so, I was thinking about getting another SVT-410 HLF to make the most of my amp. Or is there a better speaker cabinet for getting some trouser-flapping rumble? Thanks for your help folks - much appreciated. Steve[/quote] The minimum impedance you can present to your amp is 4-ohms. If you use an 8-ohm cab with your existing 4-ohm cab the total impednace will be 2.66-ohms which will blow the amp. If you want two cabs then they must both be 8-ohms. I'm sure this is all explained in the Wiki.

[quote name='OldGit' post='435651' date='Mar 15 2009, 11:13 PM']Hi I was thinking of replacing the guitar cables etc I use for my effects to rack linking with this 2 or 4 way cable from Maplins. [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=23085&&source=14&doy=15m3"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Module...14&doy=15m3[/url] This is to speed up setting up and breaking down and also clearing up the cable clutter on stage .. Does anyone use it? Is it likely to compromise my sound? Should I just invest in George L's?[/quote] I don'tthink that 4-way cable will be robust enough to stand being trampled on on-stage. How many ways do you need and how long? What would the benefit be of George L's over what you already have?

You can also get Gramma Pads on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Auralex-GRAMMA_W0QQitemZ170293181950"]Ebay[/url] I got mine from Studiospares but they don't seem to list them any more.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='431773' date='Mar 11 2009, 06:37 PM']It must be possible to wire stacked pots with the x2 volumes on one pot and the x2 tones on the other... Yes / No? It just makes more sense to be able to turn the 2 volumes up/down simultaneously or am I the only one that uses the volume control to make 'swells'? It's the reason that I've changed v/v/t on Jazz basses in the past to v/pan/t, potentially not as versatile as a pair of independent vol but suits my playing so much more. Just an observation, not a dig at anyone else's preference. [/quote] Yes it would be easy to wire any twin pick-up bass like that. Just need pots with the right values. If you can't buy the correct stacked pots then you can make them by swapping the resistive tracks from other pots.

[quote name='Linus27' post='431494' date='Mar 11 2009, 01:57 PM']Thanks Greenking, I think my first move would be to check out a 2EQ and if possible, compare it against my 3EQ to see if there is any noticable difference. Then make a decision after that.[/quote] Your are very welcome to come and try my 2-band but I suggest you bring your amp as a point of reference.

[quote name='Linus27' post='431321' date='Mar 11 2009, 10:26 AM']I am wondering if a 2EQ Musicman is more in what I am after sound wise. Anyone got a 2EQ Stingray I can come and try and even compare to my 3EQ???[/quote] Yes.

The holes in the rack-mount brackets for the Ashdown LG1000 are in the wrong place and do not meet the European standards and won't fit European racks/cases. They must have been designed in the factory in China and consequently meet the Far East/US standards.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='428045' date='Mar 7 2009, 03:34 PM']Under 16kg... Not bad at all! With a healthy output into those cabs I can't see that lacking in any department. I realise you've not had the rig long but would you gig one cab for small venues or will it always be the pair?[/quote] I used a single UL310 for the whole of 2005 (80 gigs) and it was fine on its own and so I'll probably use just one cab. I just always fancied two of them and because of they are 5.3-ohms this is the only practical way to do it. 6string bassist wanted to get rid of a UL310 and the UL902 and so we struck a deal which included my UL502. For the local jams I'll use the Ashdown LG1000 and the two 1x12s as the stage is very, very small.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='427981' date='Mar 7 2009, 01:12 PM']That does look tidy and as you say a reasonable weight, very nice. Just out of interest what is the combined weight of the 902, tuner and case?[/quote] 15.6Kg. Even I can carry it one-handed. As well as the case, UL902 and tuner, that figure includes a 1U 13A power strip along the back and the speaker cables inside

After a fair amount of selling and saving I've finally cracked it. Lightweight and wicked.

I still Jam a little at Woking (the ex-Worplesden crowd) and Molesey. Good to hear from you althopugh im not sure who OBBM is!

Just got back home having done some Epi trading with Kevin in a Kenilworth Car Park. Bought his UL310 to pair with my recently acquired UL310 and traded my UL510 for his UL902C. Can't wait to set up the new rig of doom and try it. Amp and cab in top condition and he's a great bloke to deal with. Thanks Kev.

What happened to Louie? Not heard from him in a long while.
