[quote name='bassman2790' post='464358' date='Apr 16 2009, 08:09 PM']I saw your post and was wondering whether to send you a PM. It's just the distance as you can appreciate. If you were nearer, I'd snap your hand off. I expect sending it via courier would cost me a small fortune considering it's size and weight. Would you be interested in finding out how much it would cost to ship it to my DY3 address?[/quote] I could look into it. Dont get your hopes up though as its prob gonna cost a lot like you said lol! Had a look at interparcel and if the dimensions and weight are correct from [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/marshall_vbc412.htm?feedid=4827"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/marshall_vbc412.htm?feedid=4827[/url] then we are talking £42.96 +VAT. I am actually quite surprised by that. Thought it would be more!

If you decide to go for the Marshall and are visiting Scotland any time soon (or not so soon lol) I have one going for £150. Been trying to sell it for bloody ages but just aint getting any bites. No one in Scotland seems to want a 4x12!

I saw this a while ago before my PC went tits up. Really clever piece of work I must say

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='451566' date='Apr 1 2009, 03:04 PM']Hey all. I use a modded Boss CS-3 and B....nger limiter.Is it possible to power them both from 1 power supply ?? I dont have a pedal board btw. Thanks in advance. :ph34r:[/quote] You can get daisy chain connectors from loads of places that will split the signal up to 8-9 ways for multiple pedals. Just make sure they are the same input rating (some pedals are 18V most are 9 I think) and also that the power supply has a suitable output rating. Most would be more than fine for just the 2 pedals though.

[quote name='phatbass787' post='445134' date='Mar 25 2009, 04:42 PM']Why dont you just DI from the back of the fly into aforementioned PA ?[/quote] Thats an option but I have to agree with alexclaber. If the guitarist is pushing out that much then you will always struggle to come through. If you do manage to cut through then the drums will end up needing to be mic'd in as well and the singer will get drowned out. Eventually you are all fighting for sonic room and bars wont book you due to volume/noise overkill. Its never fun trying to tell a band member to tweak there tone/volume but 1000W is way too much unless you are playing big venues.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='444430' date='Mar 24 2009, 10:03 PM']Even if it has twice the power that's at best a 3dB net output increase, which is barely audible. I can't imagine 250w per side into 2 cabs not being enough; I run only one channel of my Fly into one 8 ohm cab and it's plenty.[/quote] I am only using 1 2x10 at the mo too and its fine now I have played around with the volume and gain. I have a massive 4x12 cab that sometimes gets busted out at bigger venues but mostly for pubs and stuff the 2x10 is plenty. Jamesemt: Do you happen to play against 2 marshall stack guitar "gods"? That would explain why you aint getting through.

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='444265' date='Mar 24 2009, 08:35 PM']Thats really interesting mate - I presume you are using a passive bass? How high can you go with the gain if the imput volume is on max?[/quote] Well to be honest mate I aint sure but it doesnt have to go very high. Its an active bass but it goes through a pedal board so not sure how that affects the signal active/passive wise.

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='444212' date='Mar 24 2009, 08:05 PM']My Superfly is just not loud enough with 2x4 ohm Eden Nemesis cabs in the current band. Has anyone compared the Little Giant 1000 to the Superfly for overall volume?[/quote] I havent tried the little giant but did have the same complaint about my superfly. I turned the input volume up full and turned the gain right down. Now it seems I can get more volume out without it clipping or even going into the orange on the input level. Maybe I shouldnt be doing this though. Anyone know more about it?

Was a busy weekend Played in Dysart on Friday and they loved it. Wouldnt let us finish and we ended up playing til 12.30 instead of 12. Played The Crystal Bar in Crossgates last night for the first time so were not sure how it would go. When they eventually let us finish I heard one guy shout "best live band thats played the crystal bar ever" I was quite impressed but it might say more for who has played before as I have no idea who has been there haha. Highlight for the rest of the band was when we were loading in and our lead guitarist heard one of the yokels saying the beardy guy must be the roadie, talkin about me btw! So I was the roady all night after that and probably for a long time to come!

[quote name='deksawyer' post='422982' date='Mar 2 2009, 10:53 AM']Well, you've never heard a tighter cab in your life (well I haven't) the bottom end was simply fantastic. It's almost like there's some sort of compression happening. I think the Powersoft derived amp has some sort of DSP. I like it anyway! It could have been a bit clearer in the mid/high end but I never really tweaked it too much. It's always a sh*tty sound in this particular venue, so it could just be that. I met 'The Dude' there, nice talking to you... D.[/quote] Well hello there Was a good afternoon and I liked yer amp mate. Nice choice of songs yer band pulled out too. We were happy enough to get up for a couple then get drunk! I love those jam sessions when I aint workin the next day

Killers: Mr Brightside (even though I cant stand the bloody band) Kings of Leon: Sex on fire and The Bucket (The Bucket is damn boring but On call is a good one too) Jet: Are you gonna be my girl (cant see past that one in a cover band and always goes down a storm) Kaiser Chiefs: None. (I vetoed these jumped up nursery rhyme gits when I joined the band) Franz Ferdinand: Ullysees (sp?) That or anything early (not a fan of the 2nd album) Stereophonics: Local boy or Bartender and the thief (bartender is downtuned for guitar but I just play it normal tuning) Foo Fighters: Times like these or Learn to fly (depending on your singer) Would love to put some Foo's in our set but with a female vocalist it wouldnt really work

I am sticking that on my watchlist. If he sells it at £250 I am sticking mine on for the next mug

[quote name='The Burpster' post='427849' date='Mar 7 2009, 08:53 AM']Check this site out..... Some cracking models in here if you're into that kinda thing...... Lotsa basses too. [url="http://stores.miniatureguitarusa.com/StoreFront.bok"]http://stores.miniatureguitarusa.com/StoreFront.bok[/url][/quote] No PRS's huh? Fair enough no PRS basses [url="http://stores.miniatureguitarusa.com/Categories.bok?category=ALL&keyword=rush"]http://stores.miniatureguitarusa.com/Categ...mp;keyword=rush[/url]

It depends which tunes they are. The only group there my band dont cover is Biffy and I really aint that good. Some Chili stuff is surprisingly simple once you get it and the Muse stuff is usually fairly standard structure so easy enough to get too. I say try like a bear and if you still aint ready for the gig you will at least have a a few new tunes under your belt.

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='391390' date='Jan 26 2009, 02:22 AM']...snip...and to an average member of the audience would be no different sound wise to a bass 2 or 3 times it's value. I realise this may be entirely subjective, but we may find some common ground? Waddaya reckon?[/quote] Entirely subjective as it is, depending on where you play, your average punter wouldnt notice on any quality of bass. Its more in the player and amp I think. We worry so much about our nuances in tone and even band members sometimes dont notice

See this post [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39255&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39255&hl=[/url] The gig was actually going really well till that happened haha!

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='386918' date='Jan 20 2009, 10:57 PM']So it has no adverse affect on your tone at all, and your tone is completely the same, but it completely removes the hiss/noise? That sounds amazing. I might have to try one out… PS – I take it you put it right at the end of your signal chain/pedalboard?[/quote] Here [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/NS-2/"]http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/NS-2/[/url] The NS2 actually has an in, an out, a send and return. You put the noisy pedals into the send/return loop and then link the rest as normal. You play with the thereshold to the point where the hiss stops then you are good to go. Try and borrow one from someone to see if its what you need but it sounds exactly like my problem and this completely solved it for me. I leave the pedal on all the time so when I switch my pedals on I dont have to also switch the NS2 on too.
