    To go wireless ..or not..

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Ive been wireless since 2009ish, and would never go back, for all the reasons listed above. Ive used the same Sennheiser setup and it is totally reliable, no noticeable change in tone from being hard-wired with a cable, and is light and compact. Great range too.

    The RM800 is loverly! It can do clean, dirty, the sub harmonic thing is nice and subtle even when maxed out, the EQ simple but effective, the line mix a stroke of genius when practicing, and the build quality is top notch. Very, very happy with it :)

    How do you find the emulated tube drive, compared to the ABM tube drive?

    Will bought my Yamaha BB1024. Great transaction and chap, even though UPS did mess us around with the pickup/delivery, We got there in the end. Deal in confidence with Will.

    After having gone around the houses trying various alternatives, I've ended up back with my trusty LMB-3. Has the necessary controls (although Enhance is either off or set very low), and perfect threshold range - and what's not to like about a Ratio which goes from unity up to infinity?
    Tonally I have no complaints - whether its a light limiting or a heavy clamp-down effect.

    I've learned something today, I had no idea that such a system existed!

    Ditto. There's some weird stuff out there :)

    Opinions on Ibanez SR700's

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    I had a 2009 SR700 for a couple of years. It was a beautiful Amber finish, and was incredibly well put together - fit & finish, hardware etc all top class.

    The neck and playability were perfect, and I was able to get a stunningly low action and perfect intonation all the way up (and down) the neck.

    The newer ones have a mid-frequency shift switch, which mine didn't have.

    If you like the SRs, and are looking for a step up, then either the SR500 or SR700 will do that for you. I don't know what the tonal differences are as I've not played the SR300 or SR500 - best you try before you buy, if at all possible. I've read that the SR500 is extremly close to the 700 at a lower price - you may find it suits you and will save you some dosh.

    Why did I sell? Purely because I wanted to try something else - that's all.

    Cheers

    SOLD Trace Elliot SM250GP7 - £120

    This is my trusty SM250. A very potent 250watts into 4 Ohms, the Trace GP7 pre-amp and solid build quality. I think this is from the mid-90s, and everything works as it should.

    A couple of the square plastic push-button caps are missing but the switches work fine.

    I'm based near Brighton for collection.

    Cheers

    Is this just the pre-amp or does it gave an incorporated power amp also? If it has an incorporated amp, what are the specs please. Thanks!

    Hi, its full-blown head with 250 watts at 4 ohms. Might not seem much in today's world, but these amps are notably loud for their ratings - as most will testify.

    Cheers

    A '95 vintage 250 SMX head, in great condition and everything working as it should. New pre valve fitted recently.
    Looks like it had the gain and master pots replaced with non-detented types before I owned it - this doesn't affect operation, in fact it makes it easier to fine tune the gain and output volume.


    Am based just outside Brighton, and would prefer pickup, or meet within reasonable distance.

    Cheers

    The 80's

    In the 80s I was into AC/DC, Saxon, Scorpions, Motorhead etc etc.
    I appreciate 80s pop music much more now than I ever did back then. I also sort of get the Beatles now, took me a while though.
