    I also have a warwick with the push/pull pot and I'm pretty sure the battery still drains when passive but plugged in. I currently do most of my playing at church so play for maybe 30min over a 2 hour period (not good for the battery, if done most weeks). So I got a [url="http://store.daddario.com/category/146464/Circuit_Breaker_Series"]planet waves Circuit breaker cable[/url]. Just make sure the circuit breaker switch is at the amp end not the guitar other wise you'll still get a click when unplugging. I've had mine for years now and its a great quality cable. (and cheaper than a pedal)

    Ok, so I have a LMII, I love it and would never dream of changing it....until along came the LM tube. OK so the obvious difference is the pre-tube (which I keep being told is not really audibly different from the SS pre). This is fine, I actually love the solid state sound of my LMII but since I use cello and Bass in the same gig through the same amp it would be really useful to have all extra front end control - i.e. separate volume for each input, phantom power (my in-line power for cello pickup is annoying and battery reliant), plus the ever needed mute switch. So my question is whether there is any really difference in sound between the LMII and the LM tube in all SS mode? I know I could go and try them but I'm in the middle of nowhere....any advice....cheers!

    [quote name='thedontcarebear' post='607446' date='Sep 24 2009, 09:57 AM']Can anyone help with this? I want to work from the very bottom up so I can get some musical qualifications, and better my theory etc.[/quote] Hi, I'm in Bourne (less than 10 miles up the A15). I've just started to doing SOME teaching (don't have loads of spare time with kids and family and stuff) but might be able to help...I've done Grade 8 Bass on Rockschool exam board (passed with Distinction) I also have a strong music and theory background with Grade 8 Cello and Grade 5 Theory. What exactly is it that you are looking to do. Just to do the Bass exams? Or something else more specific? Is there something you particularly want to learn Pure Theory/Music score reading/tab reading/scales etc. Let me know and I might be able to help (although I'm not promising since as I said I don't have loads of spare time due to family stuff) Sim

    My First bass was an SR200 (loved it...Absolute great first bass....highly recommended) however my second bass was a Yammy RBX (775 so more similar to the RBX374 but with a couple of nicer finishes) I loved this Bass too!! Great basses but personally I think I would edge towards the Ibanez...I feel you'll get a bit more bass for your buck. Cort....only played a couple...not very impressed...deffinitly stick with one of the bigger commercial names for a beginner bass. But as the others say...get out there...see them in the flesh...get a friend to play them infront of you if you dont feel comfortable so that you can hear any tonal differences. I don't think you'll be disappointed with either the Ibanez of the Yamaha

    [quote name='Hamster' post='503049' date='Jun 1 2009, 04:40 PM']The second track really stood out. I thought you were running a silent stage until I noticed your yellow Markbass - were most musicians DI'd straight into the desk with in-ears foldback?[/quote] It was a semi silent stage, All musicians and non-choir singers had in ears...unfortunately the in ears we use have never given me enough low end to to tune a fretless B string, so my cab is only loud enough for a bit of personal low end monitoring. The Electric guitarist (next to me) also has his tube amp miced ( although most of his crunch comes from a Line 6 Pro floor pedal thing - so the amp isn't that loud) Also you'll notice that the on stage choir have wedges around them since we don't have enough in ears for an entire choir. The wedges at the front of the stage of for people talking only ...they are off while the music is playing. But apart from the electric guitar (and of course sax/violin) everything that could be DI'd was DI'd...I was using the built in LMII DI. If your interested in that sort of stuff then you may be interested to know that we use a click track for all tracks (although only the drummer and anyone playing an intro without drums) have the click in the mix. It took a while to get used to but hopefully now it doesn't sound clinical at all and I don't think anyone notices, it really helps to keep tight on such a big stage (remembering that on an average Sunday we don't have two huge camera rigs flying over our heads and taking up a quarter of the stage)

    [quote name='51m0n' post='502865' date='Jun 1 2009, 11:59 AM']That is so not my bag (the whole God thing, you know ) but, fantastic tone on the second track, and how did you get away with being that prominent in the mix mate, theres a choir, you and a drummer nice one![/quote] Thanks...Well I left my LMII completely flat...(+ about 10% on the VPF)...my Warwick tone was flat too with a bit more emphasis on the bridge pickup. So it's thanks to good equipment and the BBC crew, who were great...they put so much effort into what was just a 1 hour show (at not prime time) so really it was them that did all the work

    [quote name='Zach' post='502843' date='Jun 1 2009, 11:34 AM']If someone were to put out those songs as an album, although perhaps change the lyrics, it would probably be better than most of the stuff out there at the moment. Also, great bass playing on the second song (it's how far i've got through listening). You definitely manage the whole being supportive, but without disappearing role which is what i aim for.[/quote] All those songs are realesed on various albums it just that the whole Christian thing puts people off so they only get seen in Christian organisations...I've just heard from a friend that when Chris Moyles was talking about it he said he wanted to play "Happy Day" (the version from yesterday played during the baptisms - not the original) on the radio cause he really liked it. "You definitely managed the whole being supportive, but without disappearing role which is what i aim for." Really appreciate that...that's exactly what I aim for too. [quote name='benwhiteuk']you could probably listen to his show again on the BBC iPlayer thing, just skip to about an hour an 10 minutes into it...[/quote] will do...thanks

    Hey all, thanks so much for all the kind comments... It was quite an experience which I doubt I will ever have again...great fun! @docter_of_the_bass your right...I do remember you being there when I tried the head out, you told me I wouldn't regret buying it...I bought it and didn't regret it...I also got the Markbass 151p speaker cab too all of which I used yesterday...I'm really please with the tone as it came over on the TV...I don't know if you remember the cab I used to try it out, but if you do you'll be pleased to know that I have since covered it so that it no longer looks like a coffee table. @philsimmonds Hey Phil, long time no see. Mimo was playing on the middle two songs if you get a chance to catch it on the iplayer. Unfortunately if you came to the church you wouldn't actually see me cause I've had to move about 20 miles north of Peterborough now (for work) so I go to a local smaller church...Strangely no-one else in the entire church will play bass (playing in that venue is a bit intimidating at first) so they asked me to come back for this. A few of you mentioned how it isn't your cup of tea...to be honest its not my cup of tea genre wise...but obviously as I Christian I enjoy it from that perspective. The first two songs were fun to play but the more ballad-type ones can be a bit of a drag. I'm more into jazz and funk so I just throw in a bit of funk when I get the chance. The Electric guitarist (standing next to me) is also a bit of a funk fan so we have a laugh...check out his James Brown Chords in the Bridge of the second song...you'll know it when you hear it. Unfortunately there's not much of a scene for churches with funky big bands, anyone fancy setting one up? @benwhiteuk Is that true???? my life is complete....I usually listen but I believe I was changing my sons nappy at that point this morning. Overall it was a great time ...despite the 8 hour rehearsal the day before...and I'm well chuffed with the tone on the TV...I'm just please I was in tune!
  18. SimBass
    Thanks all, yeah it's gonna be quite an experience...don't worry I won't be sneaking any solo's in, although the first two songs are pretty funky so I will be getting my groove on!

    Hi all, In case anyone is interested I'm going to be playing bass live on BBC1 on Sunday morning between 10am and 11am. I play at a big church in Peterborough called KingsGate Community church and our Penticost Service is going to be broadcast Live on the BBC...I'm very nervous but I'm sure It will be great fun. It's not your traditional sort of church so lots of lively/funky music...I'll be the one with the bass (6 String fretless Warwick and MarkBass Amp) so take a look and any constructive (or not so constructive) feedback gladly received! BBC1 Sunday 31st May 10am-11am [attachment=26100:BBC.png]

    I'm sure a lot of you will have heard of the new scientific based search engine "wolfram.com" which lets you search for facts instead of websites...Have a look, its really interesting. Well I just noticed it has loads of music theory information which could potentially be very useful for all you theory/jazz geeks out there, and beginners who want a quick definithion with out having to bay a 4000page "Chord encyclopedia" For example: typing in "C Dorian" it will show you the notes in manuscript/keyboard and by name...but interestingly if also lists things such as Related modes...I haven't tried it yet cause I'm at work but there is a button which will play the notes and chords too...I just thought people might find it quite useful...it works for complex chords too...it me that "Cbmin7 chord" is made of Cb, Ebb, Gb, Bbb...(it even get the note names correct e.g. Ebb instead of D!) Anyway just thought I would point it out in case anyone would find this useful...especially for learning theory. (N.B it is still in the first stages so it doesn't know 9th chords plus) "C Dorian" Related modes: Ionian mode on Bflat Phrygian mode on D Lydian mode on Eflat Mixolydian mode on F Aeolian mode on G Locrian mode on A Alternate scale names: Gregorian scale 8 Eskimo heptatonic Kafi Thaat 2902 (12-digit binary) Hope some one finds it useful

    Our church has a Ultrabass combo as its "in house" bass amp. I had never used it until I couldn't find my cables on Monday night (house move) for my Markbass rig.... so I just plugged my bass into the behringer combo....I nearly vomited!

    [quote name='Merton' post='463866' date='Apr 16 2009, 12:49 PM']1215 with 12-band valve preamp instead of the usual solid state jobbie, from the early 1990's.[/quote] I used to have this: Its the 15" 12band eq and valve pre, it was called the 1215-12 and had the GP12X head. peavey still have a link to a picture of it [url="http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/pop_product.php?&flag=GB&lan=UK&obs=Y&key=2248"]there[/url] and you can see the head (with useful manual) [url="http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/pop_product.php?&flag=GB&lan=UK&obs=Y&key=2183"]here[/url] The full list of legacy products is [url="http://www.trace-elliot.co.uk/support_3.php?flag=GB&lan=UK"]here[/url]: But I cant see any 1215V so Im guessing it is the 1215-12...in which case it's a great amp....I loved it, I only got rid of it because I went towards the minimalist amp route and got a markbass LMII. It is extremely flexible and lush tone....no real negatives except weight and sometimes being lost due to too many controls. The 1215-12 has more bells than you can shake a whislte at and I just wasn't making use of them, it had: passive and active input 12 band eq (+toggle bypass) pre-shape swith (the trace elliot "smile" eq) which can be combined with the graphic eq valve stage (to get the most of if you need to use a combonation of the gain and a seperate valve stage "valve drive" dial) harmonic emphesis (never used that) a very nice dual compression noise reduction effects loops swith mute DI out (pre/post swith) foot switch effects loop with paralell/serial switch and seperate level control two signal outs (one dedicated tune out) it also has a useful three point input level gage with a very classy thumbs up thumbs down picture lol hope that helps

    Yeah, on the whole I'm really pleased with the way it turned out...it was a bit tricky at times, but everythign was nice and neat, it was just the bits where the two edges meet that was trick...they all went well except the last edge...I ended up with a small gap on the back (less than a milimeter and hardly visibly...but very annoying when all teh rest went so well. To be honest I doubt anyone except me will ever noticed so yeah I'm really pleased...the best tip was on the CPC website which suggested "rolling" the cab over the carpet which worked really well. I just cant believe how nicely it fits in with my markbass cab now, really pleased...and it sounds awsome!
