I’ll give this is a whirl, if it works I’ll just leave basschat as that would be too embarrassing! I’ve never had this issue before and if that’s how it works I’m pretty disappointed. I’ll be leaving Eden behind and selling kodney(s) to jump on the darkglass hype. thanks for all your help so far everyone

I’m running it like this, cycle setting is on orange but only using the one cab to get the ohms right.

I’ll send a picture through on Monday. Trying every combination but running speakon to jack as the cabs don’t have a speakon in. Its tone is lush but for a recording setting the fan is ridiculous

I’ve tried firing out 8ohms at 600 watts into the 4x10 but fan is still on overdrive after a while. Volume is at 40% which is loud enough but as soon as a track finishes it’s pretty awkward. I’ll have to try a few other cabs

Hi everyone I’ve got an Eden WTP600 after upgrading from my WTX500. Im running into two old D series cabs but I’m getting no volume and having to crank it up halfway to hear myself over the drums. After doing this all I can hear is the equivalent of a helicopter trying to escape the amp. ive sent it back to Eden but they said there’s nothing wrong with it, so all I can assume is that the wattage and impedence is totally off. The cycle setting on the amp changes the heads output from 600watts at 4ohms to 600 watts at 8phms. The cabs are really old with the 4x10 running 540 Watts RMS at 8ohms. The 1x15 is 250watts RMS at 8 ohms. any ideas on what I should do? Will I need new cab(s) and is the 1x15 useless at the rates wattage etc? Go easy on me

Welcome to the community!

I've always said this, I'm very fortunate my parents saved their child benefits for my 18th and treated me to a rickenbaker 4003 in mapleglo. Dream bass but an absolutely tank to play. however, i feel fantastic when i play it.

[/quote] It seems that way, questionnaires aren't my strongpoint. My angle was more of a based on the questions for this survey, would you sign up? appreciate the time filling it out

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1489668467' post='3258783'] Done. Was anyone else surprised by the proposed charging structure or more to the point the percentage cut proposed to maintain the service? [/quote] Yeah, I need to ensure the product is financially profitable. The ideas so far show that it won't require much maintenance, but this is something I'm still working out. Guys thank you so much for your response so far. I'm a bit overwhelmed at the support! Funky Dunky, It'd be great if I could ping you an e mail with more detailed questions and hopefully some detailed responses?

Hello everyone. I'm doing some market research for my degree project. I'm creating an online app that will aim to collate musical engagement opportunities for dep musicians/bands. In order to show it's a viable idea, I need to do some market research. To that end, could i ask for your help in completing a short survey? (30 seconds max!) If you could share it around I'd really appreciate it! The link is [url="https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8RJ2PV6"]https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8RJ2PV6 [/url] ALSO, I know theres some fantastic players on here, it'd be great if you'd let me send you a more detailed questionnaire for you to answer (an online interview). If you've got the time, I'd really appreciate it! If I'm in the wrong for asking please delete this topic and give me a slap on the wrists. I was hoping to use this great resource as a primary point of market research. Thanks very much for your help! Chris

[quote name='frannie01' timestamp='1488131922' post='3246154'] Hi I run 3 Bands have had 20 years professional playing experience and have also run workshops in live playing performance professional show cases in btech higher diploma and degree level at Acm Bimm and Solent University to name a few. How can I help ? [/quote] Excellent, I've sent you a private message. Cheers!

[quote name='DangerDan' timestamp='1482243780' post='3198765'] I've never been to an event like this, so excuse me if it's a silly question, but, would basses be likely to come at a discount at something like this, or do people try stuff out and then just order it online cheaper when they get home? [/quote] I was at the Eden Amps stand and they were offering a few bits of kit at 'show price'. They were discounted but I can't speak for every stand. For me, its the fact that there is so much variety of high quality kit in the same room and being able to try most things out. I think that is the strength of the merchandising as opposed to the cheeky discounts.

[quote name='clarkpegasus4001' timestamp='1487020913' post='3236349'] I know this topic has probably been done on numerous occasions but I could do with some advice please. I have a bass that is approx 10lb overall weight and it feels heavy on the shoulder using my usual wide leather strap of almost 4" wide (not much in the way of padding though). My normal strap is fine with my other basses. My question is, what strap do you use or would recommend?.[b][u]I have heard Comfort Strapp are good? Does anyone use those?[/u][/b] Many thanks in advance guys and much appreciated. [/quote] I ordered two comfort straps for both myself and the bands other bassist. They work and feel nice, but to me they look quite cheap with the foam and 'stretchy stuff' ontop. If you're comfortable with the aesthetics of it then it works wonders and helps me carry my MTD KZ6

Hello, I am currently working full time in two rock/pop bands in the Winchester area and I'm looking for a Musical Director to provide a days training in rehearsal techniques and performance capabilities. I've had no luck finding any possible candidates online presumably because of poor use of google. Are there any MD's out there or can anybody point me in the right direction? Many thanks! Chris

Hi all! Apologies if this is in the wrong thread, couldn't find one that fit all of the things I need advice with! 1 - I'm performing Serendipity by [i]Tal Wilkenfeld[/i] around November time. I've done a rough transcription of time signatures and chords, but I'd love to find other transcriptions that people have done to maybe compare some of the chords. I've been looking around online and can't really find anything on this piece, but maybe its just my web ignorance. # 2 - I've been transcribing a few pieces and I have a template with rough bar structures, but the template I've been given (a PDF) Is all set in 8 bar phrases. I've just been printing it off and writing in the chords by hand. Some of the pieces I'll be performing aren't phrased in 8's and this is a bit of a problem. Does anyone have any advice for this? Thanks for your help!

I'm doing my degree in performance industries through AMBA - uni of wolverhampton. The performance doesn't have to be original material for us, as thats incorporated in a different aspect - songwriting. I'm torn between doing that or risking it and taking on a dissertation (being an in-depth analysis on dream theater's metropolis pt2. scenes from a memory) :/

Hi all, Haven't been on here in ages. Great to be back! I have recently started my 3rd year of my degree and I believe I am going to pick my final project to be on performance. My performance has to have a theme, and I would love some input. I need to put together a 30 minute group performance. I was thinking of picking my theme to be slap bass. I'm planning to chose pieces such as Mark King's Mr Pink and Marcus Miller's Run for Cover. If so, are there any other pieces I should pick (be it if i chose this theme at all). Has any other bassist on here had to deliver a performance like this? Any advice would be great! Cheers! Chris

Hi guys, i've been working on some solo arrangements , and i've finally finished one! Im really happy with it, and i'd love some opinions on it. https://soundcloud.com/bujjerigar Thanks!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1426160005' post='2715015'] I would say my bass goes through one battery per year but i change it before it goes dead every time i give it the good old spring cleaning. allways carry a backup on the gig bag just in case, the TRB hasn't got a passive mode, it's a 30 sec job replacing the battery so it's not a gig breaker issue. If yours is eating away batteries even unplugging when not in use then it's a issue with the bass. My first guess is the jack barrel, the battery clip may be stuck inside the jack and making permanent contact thus draining the battery even unplugged. A quick test with a multimeter will alow you to see if the bass is passing current unplugged. Cheers [/quote] [quote name='GregBass' timestamp='1426161908' post='2715045'] Just a word of advice about Bass Direct - call and book a slot to ensure you get the attention you need. The website does suggest that, but in the small print. As a small operation, at busy times they cannot give lots of time to everyone who just drops in. [/quote] Thanks for the heads up, i'll get the multi meter out and have a look! i'll give them a call!

Right guys, Had a great time at the london bass guitar show. I tried a cracking 5 string lakland with bartoli (sp?) pups and preamp. felt great to play and had such a meaty sound! I'm gonna look into getting a day at bass direct and get a more intimite experience. Some people were playing and i felt so intimidated! Rig wise, i used a great TC combo. was a 2x10 with the RH head slot, and it fit the bill perfectly. Thanks for all your input on this!

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1425307298' post='2706033'] TRB's don't suck batteries, there's a problem there. Either is the bass that's somehow shorting the battery or is you that [b]don't unplug the jack when not using the bass...[/b] [/quote] realised that after the first time it happened, but i'm unplugging it now. How long is the battery life supposed to be in hrs? any ideas?

I'm slowly writing out a big list. Really not getting on with the TRB, sure it sounds good, but i don't really feel like the dogs bollocks when i'm playing it, and it just feels so laborious, but i'll try the BB2025.

Thanks for that, i did try to find a similar thread to this one, but i'm fairly pants at using the internet! Hoping to try a few out at the london bass guitar show

I'm currently borrowing a friends yamaha trb, its a 5 but not sure on the exact model, but its a tank to play, neck just feels so slow and long. It plows through batteries! i'm changing them almost every month, the battery starts dieing and the bass sounds absolutely dire! Sometimes i have to change before they get to that point so i change before gigs, but its happened mid song to me at least 3 times now. someone in the sky obviously doesn't like me! I'll be going to the london bass guitar show so i'll try a few there, but i've always wanted to take a pilgrimage to bass direct. I'll have to see.

Hi guys, how are we? Been saving for a while and I finally have the funds to get myself a new rig and bass guitar. I play in a covers band and dep out quite a bit. Playing everything from the Darkness and Lily Allen to jazz standards and concert band pieces. I'm after a bass that can be used in all these styles and genres, as well as having great playability and feel. I'm currently thinking of a 5 string fender jazz bass, but i haven't come across a passive one (i prefer passive basses because sods law the battery always dies at the wrong time). Amplifier wise, i was thinking a TC head with the TC 210 and 212. That way for the odd rock band gig i can take both cabs, and for jazz combo at dinner nights i can just take the 212 and not take up the entire room. I'd be an idiot not to utilize your opinions. I'm looking at approximately £3000. any ideas?
