Would you not have the distortion in the LS-2 loop as well? I always like some clean blend with my distortion sounds.

What's it sound like with the active bass? I know people keep saying it's crap with an active so.. just interested.

I don't know what's on that video (at work), but I will always highly recommend the wah probe, especially on bass. It's great!

Wow, those "hot hand" effects are very cool, i've not seen them before.

Heh, cool. I have to admit i've never listened to KISS sorry! Do you have support when you play there? Does it get packed? It'd be cool to play with more than 30 people in the room!

Yeh, I really like it there, it has a great stage and a cool atmosphere, even when there's no-one there! What's your band?

It's just a 1 x 15". I was DId and I got him to low pass that, and mic up the 2 x 12".

I like this picture 'cos you can see some of my board, and my bass looks great! Anyone else play the Limelight in Crewe?

I've deffinitely seen them on Ebay, but don't know anything about them!

How much do you need to raise them by? Maybe you could just put a double layer of velcro down. Otherwise, wood has to be the way to go I think. You need a material that you can cut at home, that you can get thick enough, and that you can glue velcro to. Wood!

I'd say that's good advice! However, I received the same advice "change your technique" when I went to see a physio clinic thing about an RSI in my wrist. I really can't think of ways to change the way I play that will benifit my wrist. Are there websites around? Or tutorials and things? I have been playing quite a long time, and used to teach guitar, and thought my bass techniques were ok but..... obviously not.

Interesting. I just downlaoded a Gary Newman & Tubeway Army Greatest Hits! I haven't really heard any Gary Newman before, but I love "Music for Chameleons" the song. I know it from the Alan Partridge DVD menu. I may investigate your suggestions further, seeing as I don't listen to enough music.

[quote name='Bald Eagle' post='31946' date='Jul 15 2007, 12:02 AM']Funny that, I'd rather tame tigers for a hobby anyday than perform a Mark King solo, Live! The only one I can think of is Alan Partridge playing the airbass does that count [/quote] I know this might seem stupid to those of you who know what i'm talking about, but, what the hell is that funky bassline that Alan's airbassing to? I really want a copy of that song/album.

Yeh, I think swapping it is going to be the best bet. If your set up is noisless without it, you shouldn't have to buy a noisegate. I have a noisegate as my set-up has always been noisy due to high gain and cheap pedals etc.

[quote name='dlloyd' post='58139' date='Sep 10 2007, 12:32 PM']Would something like a noise gate do anything to get rid of the hiss?[/quote] A noise gate will only get rid of noise when you're not playing. If it's hissing at the same time as you playing, you would need some kind of advanced noise reduction dealy, and as far as I know, that doesn't exist in pedal form.

So basically, I don't really NEED the crossover feature on an amp. I think I need to spend a bit more time with my amps now! Ta.
