    [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1407243051' post='2518672'] someone buy this. It's haunting me! [/quote] sorry dude I'll leave the comfort strapp in the case with it when it goes as it's got the schaller strap ends on it...

    [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1407194512' post='2518338'] I just got one like this & the basses move all over the place & knock each other if you're not carefull putting them in posistion [/quote] hhmmm, not so good for speedy guitar changes mid-set then... [quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1407194681' post='2518340'] Just ordered one .. thanks guys . [/quote] I've seen the hercules double stands and they look good, not cheap, but good, I've used the single grab stand for years and they're great. I wonder how stable the double will be when there's only one bass on there? One problem I had with the herc stuff was the width of the jaws being unsuitable for some 5'ers and most 6'ers I tried on there...not a problem for me anymore as I'm back to the 4 string p bass for just about everything

    ...need a vinyl banner now...how big a banner do folks get for a stage back-drop? depends on the stage presumably we're looking at local festivals and outdoor gigs, don't want something too massive but don't want it too small either...what have folks got?

    the zzazzle hats are pretty darn good, their t-shirts aren't bad too, the basic ones feel a bit cheap but then they are a bit cheap, the printing's pretty good too...

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1407151513' post='2517747'] D'addario do a set of nickel half rounds. I have a set on my Overwater and they are lovely strings. Strings direct sell them. [/quote] oo! these ones [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/bass-guitar-strings-sets-c34/half-round-sets-c233/daddario-daddario-enr71s-4-string-half-round-45-100-short-scale-bass-guitar-strings-p909"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/bass-guitar-strings-sets-c34/half-round-sets-c233/daddario-daddario-enr71s-4-string-half-round-45-100-short-scale-bass-guitar-strings-p909[/url]? do you notice the difference between a 105 e string and a 100 gauge e string?

    Anyone tried these quarter round LaBella? [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/bass-guitar-strings-sets-c34/labella-deep-talkin-4-string-stainless-steel-quarter-round-45-107-light-bass-strings-p1218"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/bass-guitar-strings-sets-c34/labella-deep-talkin-4-string-stainless-steel-quarter-round-45-107-light-bass-strings-p1218[/url] I'm looking for something a bit more thumpy than roundwounds to put on a j that I've got incoming, kinda tempted by the status half rounds that everyone raves about but they feel a bit too 'stainless steel' like under my fingers, I'm used to nickel or flatwound and stainless steel roundwounds do seem to dislike my fingers... are there any half round nickel strings out there? or should I just put flats on the j and thump it up??

    Roger might be new around here but he's a solid guy, we arranged a postal trade whereby he posted his kit first (being a newbie) so that I could then send mine up on receipt of his and all went perfectly. He posted when he said he would and I received exactly what I expected good description and item well packed. Many thanks matey, welcome to basschat and may you have a long and happy trading history on here

    [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1406877103' post='2515455'] They were the DXR10 and the ART410 recently discontinued but available here at a discount. BOth makes have excellent reputations for reliability. The drivers in the RCF's have a great reputation. I use passive club series Yamahas and have a soft spot for them but there was a real lack of detail from the DXRs, I was underwhelmed, they weren't awful, just a bit boxy and compressed with a lack of detail in the vocals. Particularly noticeable on a duet with two female voices I use for testing, the ARTs separated the voices, the DXRs turned them into a mush. By the way my Yamaha floor monitors are 15s (bought second hand) another reason to go for 10's is they are too big for most of the venues we play and I have just moved to 10's for that reason. I've also bought some Behringer B205Ds which work surprisingly well for vocal monitors if you want to go really small [/quote] hhmmm, shame the 410 is discontinued, they do the 310 which 'looks' similar on paper but is heavier, I can't imagine it's as good...? might have to stick with the yamaha... [quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1406877564' post='2515461'] I've been using these the past few weeks and they are stunning little floor monitors... maybe a bit outside your budget though [url="http://www.dynacord.com/en/products/7/1/65/278_axm12a.html"]http://www.dynacord....278_axm12a.html[/url] [/quote] those dynacord look super sweet but are indeed a bit more than we were hoping to pay

    [quote name='adamlunt' timestamp='1406824728' post='2515085'] I use the same bass in the same colour but with a Rosewood board. I think it looks so much better with the maple. Great basses, and a steal at this price! [/quote] there's something about black and maple together, makes you want to rock someone's face off! sunburst and rosewood now there's a finesse machine, black & maple, classic rock me baby [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1406827124' post='2515119'] Well done Andy, no probs with using my photos, glad to see they helped such a swift sale Whoever`s got this is one lucky Basschatter, was a great bass, one of the ones I wish I hadn`t had to sell. [/quote] thanks matey, it's always polite to ask before borrowing it still is a great bass matey, it so thoroughly reignited by p love that I had to buy a '77/'78 and am now hooked on the feel of the older lady, gotta get me another one [quote name='Pestie' timestamp='1406829453' post='2515146'] Ooh you naughty boys, I am going to have it off Andy so I am the lucky one. I know it'll be a good un because it has come from Lozz's house! Cheers Mike(Pestie) [/quote] You are the lucky one indeed matey, I am rather looking forward to trying a j again for a bit too

    [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1406836347' post='2515239'] I am another one to prefer 10's for monitors. The essential thing for the monitor is to give good mid frequencies especially for guitar and vocals, it is a rare 12 or15 which will do this. I recently tried running the Yamaha against the RCF, thanks to PMT in Bristol, the RCF are much better. [/quote] oo interesting! Any opinions on the rcf longevity? Which rcf & yamaha models was it btw?

    [s]For sale (or possibly trade) my 2010 Fender USA Std Precision in black / maple. Bought from Lozz on here earlier this year but now supplanted by a 70's p (I loved the p sound so much that I boughtn old one!) This bass is in great condition, plays and sounds superb, All my band's current demo tracks were recorded with this straight into my orange stack and the room mic'd, nothing else added or taken away! have a listen to it on soundcloud (links in my sig), it just fills that space for bass so nicely. I know Fender can be a bit hit an dmiss at times but this is a good one! It currently has labella flats (45-105) on it and it thumps majestically! Comes with SKB Fender branded hard-case, and full case-candy including tags. I weighed it recently to compare it with the 70's p I've got and it was a shade under 4kg (so a tad under 9lbs). I'd like to get back what it cost me so that's [b]£650 collected[/b]. Bank transfer or paypal gift is fine & dandy with me, cash on collection would also be rather nice Happy to ship at buyers cost, I'm sure I can find a box from somewhere I'm going to borrow Lozz's photos for now until I can get some of my own (hope you don't mind buddy?)

    [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1406664086' post='2513585'] 10s are better for monitoring IMO as you want lots of middle to get the vocals to really cut through on stage. Most 10s are stronger in the mid range. We generally cut a lot of low end from monitors as it tends to muddy things on stage a little and you can crank the speakers a bit more then. [/quote] good info bud

    [quote name='Alec' timestamp='1406648469' post='2513421'] Looks like a bargain to me - just dive on in! And, as for size, if I wanted to monitor kick through it, I'd want a really beefy 15" unit which, even then, would be a bit wimpy. But for monitoring vox & acoustic... My ART 710s will fill a pretty big space! [/quote] cheers buddy, info passed to the keeper of the pursey

    [quote name='Alec' timestamp='1406645279' post='2513379'] Not used the Alto stuff, but know quite a few who have - they're regarded as the bargain of the century. Not necessarily as good as the higher end models - especially in output, but stupic value for the money. Monitor angle mode looks fine. In fact better than on my ART 710s where it can get a little tight with the IEC & XLR connection. Fair enough if it's for FOH, but for mons, it's far more about getting enough of it in your face! [/quote] quality - fair enough mon angle - groovy 10" over 12" I get your point matey, might try the 10" option first...oo how cheap are they from Maplin!! £180!!! is that right?
  21. andydye
    [quote name='Alec' timestamp='1406642821' post='2513339'] At the absolute bargain end, but still well regarded, is the Alto TS110A (£220). A little down on max SPL, but quite likely to be enough for the job - and *cheap*! [/quote] oo cheers matey! have you used the alto stuff laid down as a wedge monitor or would it need to be upright? I'd be tempted to try the ts112a as I like the leetle bit extra oomph you get with a slightly larger driver, bit warmer sounding too

    [quote name='Adolfhipster' timestamp='1406572956' post='2512623'] Trade a boss dd20 for sft? [/quote] tempting, whereabouts are you matey?

    how can it be right that a USA P bass is still here at and at [b]only[/b] £500! dude, the market is shocking just now!!

    we're currently borrowing a yamaha DXR10 which is pretty good but we need to buy our own to take out and about with us and this one lives in our practise space... I'm wondering whether there's anything else out there that we should be considering that will do the same kind of job (but might be a tad cheaper)...it just has acoustic guitar and vocals through it for the drummer to hear and sing with, needs to be loud enough for a drum monitor but nothing bonkers! This is what we're currently using: [url="http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/proaudio/speakers/dxr/dxr10/?mode=model"]http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/proaudio/speakers/dxr/dxr10/?mode=model[/url] the site reckons it's a 700w speaker that can handle 56hz-20khz it does sound pretty good for what we're using it for, my preference would be for a 12" rather than 10" speaker for a bit more 'body' in the sound but...what's about folks? and what do you use? ta

    holy smokes that's just sublime!
