Hamster, where did you get your preamp from? i'm looking to get one of these.

tayste: that is looking sweet. can we get some close ups of the board and the right way round? Are there any pedals which you always leave on? could you Velcro them to the underside of the pedal train to make some more space?

there's no way you're gonna fit all that on one board.

pm sent!! Sounds very interesting.

you wanna sound big and punchy and in tune. Compressor and Tuner Demeter Compulator in the for sale section, lots of people including myself recommend them, or EBS multicomp are the two major contenders. Tuner: Boss TU-2, Korg DT-10 i think, or peterson strobostomp if you think you can hear a difference of 0.1 cent. For 3 piece type stuff like u2 greenday chillies my personal preference is not to go with effects that take away from the bottom end of the bass like fuzz or synth. You just want to be rock solid, punchy, supplying the low stuff otherwise it looses its energy. IMO.

John I've got a pdf of the instruction manual and schematics if you want it, pm with your email if you want. Cheers Dave

The one in the post above looks like the right polarity. The diago website has the same thing: [url="http://www.diago.co.uk/component/page,shop.browse/category_id,3/option,com_virtuemart/Itemid,206/"]http://www.diago.co.uk/component/page,shop...art/Itemid,206/[/url] The blue adaptor, bit more expensive but it says it's "Reverses polarity to a positive tip, 3.5mm (1/8") mini jack plug" Which is what you need. I got one from diago for my Compulator. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='162657' date='Mar 24 2008, 02:49 PM']This is what it says on the Demeter site.. Power supply: 9 volts DC. Either external or internal. For internal power, use a 9 volt battery. To access, remove the four screws on the sides of the unit and pull apart. Note: battery must have at least 7 volts for unit to work! External power supply using mini plug, tip positive, 9 volt DC regulated (100 milliamp or more). I guess I need a positive tip one then. Thanks.[/quote]

beautiful looking bass and very nice sound too. Have also entered!

14 for me makes 363

i saw them at wembley arena and tbh the bass sound was poo , mainly due to the acoustics of the room, it's always boomy and mushy. But the night as a whole was amazing, great performance a great fun, even if dave seemed to be coming down with a cold and soar throat.

sweet setup there!! Is the hard drive just a usb input and does it handle recording lots of track simultaneously and is it quiet enough to record in the same room? I've got a lacie hard drive and it's noisy as hell so generally record to my mac's hard drive and just use the hard drive for archiving stuff.

1. Is a light bass cabinet important to you? Yes 2. Would you be interested in a smaller designed cabinet for maximum portability? Yes 3. What is the weight of your current rig now? 24 Kg 4. Have you ever had portability issues with this cabinet before? Yes 5. Would a Neo speaker make the amplifier more appealing? Yes 6. Would you want casters on the amplifier for added portability? No 7. Would you want the input to be in the back? Yes 8. Would you want the Ohm rating to be 4? No 9. Would you want the power rating to be over 200 watts? Yes 10. Is a metal grille cover attractive on an amplifier? Yes

its perfectly possible to have 4.5Gb of RAM, you could have 2 x 2Gb and 1 x 512Mb sets. I heard somewhere that you get better performance from ram if all the sets are the same, so you could replace the 1x512 set with another of the same size. Although that could be complete rubbish. Unless your having trouble playing or recoding multiple tracks with multiple effects plugins then you wont need to upgrade. With that much ram i would have thought it would be your processor that has touble before the ram. What performance aspects are unsatisfactory at the moment? why do you think you need to upgrade?

+1 for ShergoldSnickers post; i know a few people who have m-audio stuff and use it with logic so pretty sure it would work for you. If you do decide to go for a new mac and logic pro, call their sales line and ask for any promotions for buying logic pro with the mac, got mine much cheaper than buying seperately from the apple site, plus the call centre is in ireland so you get to talk to a wee irish chappy. Just need to find the right deal on a motu traveler and i'll have the ultimate mobile recording setup for under 2 grand. :wub:

i've also played that bass when having lessons with him, he's a right laugh, top bloke!
