[quote name='Pollinator95' post='1352106' date='Aug 26 2011, 10:23 AM']Maybe I misunderstood, but wouldn´t the 4-button footswitch be trailing cables anyway? In any case, you should be able to unless the pots and jacks are directly soldered to the board. IMO, it´s too pricey to risk f****** up on, but that´s just me. Maybe you could get a pro to do it for you?[/quote] Yeah the footswitch would be 1 cable, but running the VT on its own would be 2 cables and a power cable. I would be getting a pro to do it for me, i'm not confident enough not to mess it up. Would be much easier if Tech 21 just made one themselves, but we can't have it all our own way. Liam

What's the most you would spend on a bass???
LiamPodmore replied to Schnozzalee's topic in Bass Guitars
The max i'd spend is roughly £1000, but i would go abit higher for the right bass (Ie something like that SR5005 a few weeks ago) but i'd have to wait till i gathered the cash. Quite a jump considering the 2 basses i play now cost me £150 and £170. Liam -
This is probably one of the strangest ideas i've had, but does anyone think its possible to take the guts of a VT Deluxe, and put it into a rackmount chassis with a 4 button footwitch? I'm planning on moving to a rack system later this year, along with getting a VT Deluxe but i don't want cables trailing across the stage (Main reason i'm going wireless) because they get annoying. Its probably a stupid idea, but i'll bounce it off you guys anyway, you're more knowledgeable than me. Liam

Tone Hammer, Sansamp BDDI, MXR M80, Hartke XXL, you've got plenty of options, its just finding the right one for you. I quite liked the M80 when i tried one out, but i havent tried any of the others so i can't really compare. Liam

We can do an hour for load in, setup and soudncheck pretty easily if we want to. Depending on the gig we normally give ourselves 90 minutes to do it all, so it's pretty relaxed (Only pub gigs btw) and we get it done easily. We have a powered mixer, 4 cabs that are daisy chained in pairs, 2 vocal mics, 2 guitar amps (Guitarists are simple, both have combos, one has a distortion pedal, other has a 1 button footswitch and occasionally a wah, no pedalboards whatsoever) bass amp, and the drum kit. No mics on guitar, bass or drums. Some gigs we have given ourselves 2 and a half to 3 hours, but those we had us on, another band, and an acoustic act opening, so more amps and gear to setup, and more soundchecks to do, even then it only took 2 hours from load in.

My bands singer had this problem due to only having 1 guitar. At the time we played in E standard, D standard, drop D and drop C. What he did was only ever tune his guitar to D standard or drop C, and just use a capo on the 2nd fret for standard and drop D, worked really well, till we dropped everything lower than drop D. So using a capo could be an option? Liam

Dad gave me a bass, started learning some tab and had lessons for about 2 years. Liam

I'll be happy once i get a decent cab or two, im thinking 2x410 when i have the means to move them around. I'm really happy with my head, although i hace considered upgrading to the 5.2, just because the vents on the top of the 5.1 annoy me. Liam

[quote name='JTUK' post='1323155' date='Aug 1 2011, 03:01 PM']Having just seen a multitude of bands at local festivals.. I think more thought could go into what they play.[/quote] Local festivals near me tend to have some quite good gear on their stages. From what i can remember of the last few i went to, there has been bass gear from Warwick, Musicman, Fender, RIM Custom, Gibson, Aria, Ibanez, Ashdown, Hartke, Peavey, Orange, Aguilar, TC, Markbass, Schroeder, and Trace Elliot. They've even had Ashdown ABM 4x10 Combos and a Hartke HA5500 into a Hartke HyDrive 810 as the house amps. Liam

Last gig i played there were Squier, Musicman, German Custom Warwick and MIA Fender basses, along with Behringer, Warwick, Ampeg and EBS amps. From the guitar side of things there was Gibson, Epiphone, Fender, ESP LTD, Dean, Mesa/Boogie, Marshall, Blackstar, Peavey, Orange and Randall. Bare in mind none of these are realy boutique, except maybe the Warwick and Muiscman, but still quite high end for the most part. Liam

[quote name='paul_5' post='1316480' date='Jul 25 2011, 11:43 PM']Where was the gig, HW Audio? looks like a music shop in there.[/quote] Manchester Academy 3, there were 5 bands on. Us (A Little Bit Outlaw), So Called Friends, 7 Day Weekend, Neon Sarcastic and That Sunday Feeling, all who had a hefty amount of gear, except us. [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='1316757' date='Jul 26 2011, 10:52 AM']Why didn't you just use the SVT?[/quote] Didn't do that because i wanted to give my Warwick a real gig test, it normally only gets used through a 1x12 PA cab when we don't need our PA so i wanted to see how it sounded through a nice beast of a cab. Glad i did actually, as its changed my mind on wanting to get a new head with a good overdrive, as it sounded damn good and had alot of punch without being oved the top, which is what i'm after. Liam

I'm quite low with my strap. I play fingerstyle so i like my strings at arms reach, and i have pretty long arms. Liam

@LiamPodmore here, not been on in a while though, i might go on and have toot what the famous people are up to. Liam

This isnt actually my rig (Not fully anyway) but my Warwick ProFet 5.1 through an Ampeg 810 that i used tonight. Best sound i've EVER had playing live, makes me want an 810, but i can't afford nor have the space or need for one, so i may have to wait. Liam

I am wondering how he's still alive. It was quite a good watch actually, and his tone is MONSTROUS! Liam

I emailed them about my old Squier and they reccomended the HB7's so that would be my guess. Liam

Vocalist in my band uses an Electrovoice Cobalt CO9, quite a good mic for what we payed, i prefer it the SM58's we've used in the past. Liam

I think its lack of sale is down to Ashdown's previous small head offerings, which were in all fairness, pure sh*te, and thats coming from an Ashdown fan. I'll admit, i have had a limited experience with the superfly and little giant, but the concensus seems the same. Liam

I tend to write on Guitar Pro, so i can get a rough idea of how parts sound together and stuff. Liam

Small pub gig on saturday night. Us (A Little Bit Outlaw), a support act (Arrested in Moscow, not the best but not that bad) and Acoustic Opener (Jordan Allen, really like this guy) all organised by us. We sold 120 tickets which is all we were allowed due to capacity limits, but the turnout wasn't the best. Some incidents, few arseholes fighting (Teen audience) which put abit of a downer on the whole thing. I don't think we could have performed any better musically, but the crowd just weren't feeling it for the most part. We also took the oppertunity to throw out some new little things for abit of fun, which included a samba breakdown in one of our originals, and the Pokemon theme tune. Liam

Bowling For Soup - Girl All The Bad Guys want. Had to learn it twice in 1 week as i learnt it on a 5 in standard then on a 4 in drop D, wasnt exactly hard to do, just a tad annoying. Liam
