As an engineer I really like seeing things like this which take convention and ask "can it be done differently". It will be interesting to see how it progresses 👍

For me its a balance between the 2 - set the gain for clean undistorted sound and then boost as required with the master volume.

Good to hear it sounds ok at rehearsal levels, hopefuly means that no major damage has been done 🙂 I'm not quite sure what Alex means by "not enough output happening" 🤔 As far a whacking the gain right open I've always understood it that you should push the input gain until it only occasionally clips on your very loudest notes and then use the master for your overall volume setting. I've just plugged into my Eden 500 and VK 210 and with the gain cranked I can create some exceedingly awful farty sounds at very low volume. 🤣

From my experience, playing an outside gig tends to swallow up the bass so expecting a 2x10 to keep up with a loud band could be a little optimistic (even though BF are good). I'm also assuming that as you were outside your cab wasn't near any side or back walls? If it wasnt then you lose any boundry effect that helps boost the volume from the cab. What EQ settings did you have? If, due to the lack of boundry effect etc, you've boosted the lows to compensate this could be contributing. Also as @jazzyvee says if your input gain is slightly too high it can cause distortion / farting from the cab. Have you tried the amp / cab since and noticed any problems?

Content could be classed as NSFW or for junior ears as it gets a bit sweary 😬 (Mods, please delete if you don't think its appropriate.) My band Reloaded headlined the last night of the Midsummer Beer Happening ( FB link HERE ) in Stonehaven a few weeks ago and covered RATM's Killing In The Name Of as our closing song. If you've not heard it before it's really not the sort of song to play to Granny but great fun to play to a marquee full of partyers 🙂 Reloaded - Killing In The Name Of

Steve sold me a couple of packs of new strings for a great price and shipped them very quickly. Would be happy to deal with again. Many thanks.

You just need a bit more practice then, maybe you're a little rusty? 🤣

Yep, I too have been a trombonerist (?) in the distant past, playing in my local brass band. Bass guitar came along and took over prime position. I believe Dave Swift is also a trombonerist 🙂

I've just recieved Chris's Eden WTX500 amp and it looks immaculate 👍 All comms were great as well as packaging etc. Would happily deal with him again. Thanks Chris.

Aah! That makes sense 👍

I don't think "bumping" a post does bold it again, or at least I dont remember any of my "for sales" posts being bolded after doing it. It would be a good feature if it did 🙂

Do you mean in the main listings? I copied a screenshot of the amp listings showing two arrows. The green one points to a bold advert and the red to an un-bolded one. If this is what you are seeing then its just a function of the website eg: if you have visited (or started) a thread the header remains un-bolded until someone else makes a comment. Once they comment the title goes back to bold letting you know you havent read the most up to date comments. 👍

Short, concise, eloquent...even I understood it 😁 Great explanation!

I'd look at going bass to amp (you've done that), add the first pedal in your setup, try that. Add second pedal....try that etc. etc. Might help identify the culprit 🙂

I don't remember anything on a UK wide scale apart from the meet-up at the London Bass Show. I would be interested depending where it's located, as most places are a weekend trip from where I am 🙂

Apart from it being a global smash hit that's been played on every radio staion / supermarket / xmas compilation / TV multiple times every year for the last TWENTY EIGHT years he's only just realised the similarity (song title only). The cynic in me thinks a lawyer somewhere has said "we'll ask for £16m but settle for £500k as it will be cheaper than her going to court" 🤣

Ah, but the sound of that can of worms would have much more clarity if listened to through those cables 🤣🤣

DV27 have some in at £39....DV27 which is slightly better than your £45 to £50. I've just bought some D'Addarios from them and they were delivered in less then a week.

On a few of my basses I've used laptop screen protectors, cut to shape and not had any ill effects to the finish (they were all high gloss finishes not satin though). Also use them on the rear to stop buckle rash 😁🎸

I think he's a member on here @Lukasz Chyla 👍

Jack's just purchased my Powersoft amp from me. Quick and easy deal with payment recieved faster than I can spend it on new gear! 🤣 As many have said before, great BC'er to deal with. Thanks.
