    Peavey Firebass 700 Head

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted

    My first proper amp head this... I loved it, and it survived everything I threw at it (or even threw it at... was once used to throw at the singer and it knocked him out, and was left undamaged!)

    Would probably buy it if it wasn't so far away, and I didn't already have too many amps :)

    These things happen, no matter how well you take care of a bass, if you actually use it and gig it, then chances are something will ding it eventually, and to be honest, that doesn't look that bad from the picture!

    Don't beat yourself up over it.

    Which replacement speaker do I need??

    As I said in my original post, I know nothing about all that part of it, so don't know what dimensions you need, or what difference the amp being used makes, cos I use a few different amps at different times with this cab...

    Thats why I thought it best to post the details of the cab that I do know off hand, like model number, and what speaker is in there at the mo to be replaced... I thought someone may know of a direct replacement to a celestion sidewinder.

    The cab is in the studio, and I am at home, so cant go measure...

    I just thought it might have been easier than it obviously is :)

    SO I blew a speaker, and I dunno what I should get to replace it, as I always keep reading that they need to be specific for the dimensions of the cab etc... and I know nowt about all that! :)

    The speaker in question is a Celestion Sidewinder from my Marshall 1525 2x15, 250watts 8ohms.

    I cant seem to find a straight replacement Celestion Sidewinder anywhere, so what do I need?

    I would Ideally like to replace both speakers together and go with some Neodymium if I could to let some of the weight go.

    Help me basschatters, you're my only hope... *Fzztk* Help me basschatters, you're my only hope... :)

    What cabs have people been using it with?

    I have it through an Ampeg 1x15 at home at low volumes, but its probably gonna go through the Marshall 2x15 I've been gigging with lately for anything else.

    Been playing some guitar through it with a Marshall 4x12 at home too and that's sounding pretty lovely!

Is Cold hands a number you have already done as a band electrically and adapted for Brass band for the energy? If so have you changed your approach or part to accommodate the sheer power of the lower brass instruments? Just curious

    All the best it deserves to get noticed[/quote]

    Thanks man :)

    Yeah, Cold Hands was already done as a band, when we had the opportunity offered to us to work with the Leyland Band, it was kind of meant to be on another of our new tracks, but the idea of brass on that just seemed a bit too much like shoehorning it in and didn't feel like it would have fitted right, but we felt that it would be really suited if we took a bit of instrumentation out of Cold Hands to make some space for the brass to build the sound that it would fit really well.

    The original idea we had was to film a lot more of the process of the collaboration between Dresden and the Leyland Band, a bit more of the meeting and talking, and working on arrangement etc. but unfortunately we didn't have the cameras or film people involved as early as we would have liked to get that on tape...

    We often have grandiose ideas but lack the equipment or contacts to pull it off.

    That said, I'm still over the moon with the finished thing and very proud of it :)

    I mean really... fantastic song; great video and production. You should be rightly chuffed about it :)

    Let me know next time you're playing locally around Manchester - I'd certainly like to see you guys live.[/quote]

    Thanks very much mate :lol:

    We try not to do 'normal' gigs, but we played a gig last night for the The Laboratory Project indie label that have included this track on a compilation, its on iTunes and all other places now, so I reckon we are looking at September for our next event, I will let you know :)

    Thanks again for watching, its nice to know people are :D

    Thanks for watching :)

    Here is another slightly longer video, mainly has a load of waffle at the start, but its got footage of us setting it all up to record.



    We set it up to record ourselves, all sorts of mics (that our keys player/producer could tell you) I can remember some neumann's being there but I'm not massively techy on that side of stuff myself. All just set up and ran into protools behind the stage.

    We had a plan of how we were going to position the mics prior to turning up, basically just singling out the brass in sections, and seeing how it sounded.

    We did about 6 takes altogether for the camera crew to get lots of angles, but they had a couple of cameras that they found to be defective AFTER we had finished, so we didn't get as much footage of the brass band as we would have liked to be honest.

    We have mentioned with the band the idea of doing a full gig with them, and they were really excited at the idea, but it may end up hard to put together due to the space needed to have us all there, and they have a very busy schedule generally... I'm really hoping it does happen though!

    As far as us, Dresden, you can get our debut album for free at [url="http://dresdenmusic.com"]dresdenmusic.com[/url]

    This track isn't on there, its one of the first we have started recording for our 2nd album, but we are in no rush with it at the mo.
