No Firewire interface, so I'll avoid the Saffire then... Looked good as well.

Quite impressed with the Lexicon Omega, even though it's bundled with an older version of Cubase LE (4), have seen a couple of the larger UK retailers selling them off at a reasonable price for what you get. OK, so I do realise that this means that the product will no doubt be discontinued in the not too distant future, but even so, it still seems like a good deal. Plus I've used an older version of Cubase, so should be at least a teensy bit familiar with it (in theory of course!).

Time to raid the piggy bank (again).

My Lexicon Alpha was said to include Cubase LE4 (Even on the box) but it came with 5 so that might be the same situation.

Just got a set of Elixirs for a darn good price off Pete. Less than 24 hours from initial conversation to them arriving. Now that's a good service.

Liam

Most USB interfaces come with a DAW, either ProTools LE or Cubase LE usually. A favourite of mine is the Focusrite Scarlett series, though they don't come with a DAW bundled. A lifetime licence of Reaper is under £50 though, and i prefer using that over some of the other 'professional' ones.

Liam

I get it occasionally. Usually when i'm playing without a pick for long periods of time. Only takes a few seconds of not playing for it to go away for me though.

Liam

Realistic Sound Engine. Not too sure where to find it myself on GP6 though, i'm still on 5.

Liam

Stingray (Though not sure on 4 or 5 string) with maple board, Line 6 V75TR (x2), Pod HD Pro X and StageSource L3T, and a Rocktron All Access, oh and some sort of fretless. That's all what's on the list at the moment, for bass gear anyway.

Liam

Dunlop Tortex .73 over here too. Perfect amount of flex and clickyness for my liking, and cheap as chips too.

Liam

A brilliant amp through a rubbish cab will sound rubbish. A rubbish amp through a brilliant cab, you can usually get a decent enough sounding noise out of. That's my experience anyway.

Liam

I've only met 3 i think, and never deliberately, though all were lovely chaps. I do need to one day head to bashes or other local BC'ers gigs (Which i've probably already done and not known about).

Liam

The only ones i can think of are the rack units (Line 6 POD HD Pro, Avid Eleven Rack, Fractal Axe FX, etc...) which have a stereo input that can be set this way pretty easily.

Liam

I think your best bet will be a Line 6 POD unit. Current range are i believe the HD series though i think only the top model rack version (HD Pro X) has an XLR output.

Liam

Stingray for me. I find them more comfortable and the sound is what i'm after, though my main bass is a Precision at the moment, so....

Liam

I usually find the chords somewhere online (though my ears are getting better) or off one of our guitarists and make something relatively similar from that. If the original bass part is a large part of the song i'll pull up a guitar pro tab from somewhere and get a rough idea of what it is.

Liam

Blackstar HT-1R or HT-5R would be my choice. Brilliant little amps, and can put out a fair amount of noise if you ever wanted them to.

Liam

With 'em on you have less space to pluck the string, something else to catch a knuckle on, and more shiny stuff, and that's about it i think.

Liam

Low for me. Not quite the whole Rob Trujillo, but still quite low. My picking arm is slightly bent and i can comfortably access the first 15 or so frets on any string. My 5 string i have a few inches higher than that 'cause it makes life a bit easier when playing that, and the strap wont let me wear it any lower. When i sit down i usually play more classical guitar style, it's a bit easier on the wrists.

Liam

Depends on how much you spend. One of the best going appears to be the GigRig stuff. You'd need a Generator and 2 Distributors, which would be about £170, but would power anything you throw at it.

Liam

Depends what you class as silly money. The Line 6 Relay G30 is little over £200 now, even cheaper if you can find one used on here, or wait for post-christmas sales.

Liam

3 years, 6 months and 16 days since I last broke a string, which was just as we were going to start our set at a pub festival.

Liam

I'm not at all happy with my playing at the moment. I've got quite lazy musically with my band taking all this time off, and been focusing on photography more than music, and my playing has really suffered from it. Time to get myself back up to scratch i think. I was even struggling with the groove for Valerie the other day, which was annoying.

Liam

I just use the tuner as a mute usually, though my next board setup will cater for 2 basses (Once i purchase and find use for a fretless)

Liam

I managed to find an Amazon dealer doing 4 string sets for £31 thankfully, but the cheapest i can find the 4 string sets anywhere else is £38, though i need a bus ride on top of that to the shop to get them (After calling them to place an order so they can get them in) so it still ends up being over 40 quid.

I rarely listen to instrumental music, because i find it boring, but something about that guitar part has stuck to me from the many times i watched Top Gun as a kid.

Looks like i`ll put this in here as the Retrovibe thread is locked, my proto telebass

Why oh why did this never make it into production?! If it had a proper tele headstock and came in pink it'd be my perfect bass.

Each cab will get approx 312 watts so the twelves in the 212 will each get approx 160 watts, whereas the single will be getting the full 312 - assuming you run the amp at full pelt which I`d very much doubt. Keep a close ear on it and if the 112 struggles back off on some lows.
[/quote]

Normally Lozz would be right, if the cabs were matching resistance, but because the 2x12 is 4 ohms and the 1x12 is only 8, it'll be evenly spread, all getting somewhere around 150/160w. You should be fine with them, just use your ears and check for any signs of one being pushed too hard, as has already been mentioned.
