[quote name='bassjamm' post='218147' date='Jun 13 2008, 10:30 AM']Hmm...that's interesting mate! Do you have the specs or rough pricing on how much one would be? Just googled it and can't find much![/quote] no probs...[url="https://www.audiolinks.com/tek9/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jqdmlqh0"]here's [/url]the spec. i can't remember the name of the company i bought mine from but it was £300 or so. i'll check when i get home and let you know.

i pair up my ampeg svp-pro with a soundtech ps802 and i love it. 1U and ~16lbs. the only down side is that the fans are quite loud, not an issue live, but noticeable at home.

take a book. there can be a lot of sitting around, which can get frustrating. have fun !

[quote name='cheddatom' post='216912' date='Jun 11 2008, 02:35 PM']What?[/quote] plus the one.

i love my svp... i'd add more, but it's just fab...fat and smooth or snotty and overdriven if needs be.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='216505' date='Jun 10 2008, 11:28 PM']Worth it for the parts - if it was local to me, I'd 'ave it.[/quote] plus the one...

it's great...

[quote name='rmorris' post='212165' date='Jun 3 2008, 10:57 PM']Ah - OK . I posted to that thread. Did the Sansamp that got blown get fixed ?[/quote] soz...i missed your post. no - i was pi55ed off with it so i junked it, silly i guess. but eventually i bought basmankev's m80 and am a lot happier with the sound.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='215931' date='Jun 10 2008, 09:38 AM']I'd also print out a bunch of stuff from Marc Sabatella's website, particularly this bit: [url="http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/ms-primer-4.html"]http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/ms-primer-4.html[/url][/quote] ooh - top tip.

[quote name='Muppet' post='215641' date='Jun 9 2008, 07:28 PM']...the sound man has ultimate control and he can make your Ampeg sound awful at the flick of a switch if you piss him off![/quote] which is why if they say they want to use their own di...i agree !!

[quote name='dangerboy' post='215611' date='Jun 9 2008, 06:36 PM']I've always put this down to lazy soundmen, tbh.[/quote] plus the one. i'd imagine it's just easier to stick a vanilla di-ed bass sound through a PA than one that's been through a preamp. it annoys me seeings as i like to think that the sound i get out of my amp sounds better than a straight di, but there you go. on a related note - when i've offered the di that i've brought with me (used to be a sansamp, now's a mxr bass di), the soundman's always turned it down...

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='215226' date='Jun 9 2008, 09:10 AM']I may have confused Montana with Desperado - which are available here - [url="http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZwildwesthog"]http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZwildwesthog[/url] I also got a couple of very nice leather straps from [url="http://www.bulldogproducts.co.uk/"]http://www.bulldogproducts.co.uk/[/url] in Penzance[/quote] thanks for the tips :0 [quote name='bass_ferret' post='215427' date='Jun 9 2008, 01:47 PM']There was a recent thread on comfy straps with lots of options - best see if you can find it.[/quote] indeed there was....[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18906&hl=strap+comfort"]here[/url] thanks

i just can't find them any more....

my favourite strap is a montana leatherworks all leather jobbie, and is really nicely padded and wide (about 3"/8cm). i'd like to get similar one...any suggestions ? doens't have to be leather, just wide and padded.

[quote name='markytbass' post='214625' date='Jun 7 2008, 09:08 PM']I don't have any lazy habits, I may have some unorthadox energy saving techniques, but not lazy .[/quote] i'm sure my technique sucks full stop.

[quote name='Kaiu' post='212642' date='Jun 4 2008, 06:10 PM']Anyway, not sure of the science here, but in order to get the required 'boost' from the big muff when I engage it, the input gain has to be below a certain point.[/quote] sorry..the input gain of what ?

i'm with mbk on this...it's a fine exercise in 'how many strings can i get on one instrument' but a total waste of wood imho

[quote name='muzzer' post='212312' date='Jun 4 2008, 09:28 AM']Don't know if this is of any use but, as you say you tried a "fan from a PC" I assume the fan is a 12volt one? If that's correct then you could try using a Panaflo fan. These are really quiet and commonly used to sort out noisy fans in PCs. You can get them here: [url="http://www.dorothybradbury.co.uk/"]http://www.dorothybradbury.co.uk/[/url] I've bought a few and the service is great. Another trick is to put a resistor in series with the fan to drop the voltage down to around 7 volts. HTH Steve[/quote] yes - it's a 12V fan...i just stripped the power connector off and ran it into the screw terminals on the board in the amp/ i'll have a look at that site later... and i guess they are Bipolar transistors, but I'm going to see how they go. I can't see a major meltdown happening before i get a silent fan.

i normally use the Di on my ampeg svp-pro, which seems to be ok... the best i've used is my ridge farm gas cooker
