    I have 2 rack cases for sale (or trade) - 2 SKB 4U lightweight. They're in pretty good nick apart from the odd knock and marks which is to be expected as thats their job I'm looking for £35 each. Have a look at the photos and let me know if you're interested. Photos - [url="https://goo.gl/photos/iU8XJ11CasnRxnrbA"]https://goo.gl/photo...8XJ11CasnRxnrbA[/url]

    [quote name='PTB' timestamp='1489239277' post='3255391'] My old bass teacher had a 4 string bass where the neck was fretless after the 7th fret. Never seen another like it. [/quote] Sounds logical to me to save money on fret wire. Doesn't doctrine dictate that "thou shalt not venture above the 5th or the infidel shall feel the wrath" ? Right then....I'm off back to the "flat earth" thread......

    The SKB ATA bass cases are supposed to be pretty good. [url="http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=13&o=&c=84&s="]http://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=13&o=&c=84&s=[/url]

    I went to a gig at in Aberdeen last week and the band were individually and together excellent musicians. The overall sound was as you say vocals, guitar, drums, KICK and flubby mush. When the drummer stopped using (or held back) on the kick / floor tom you could hear the bass and it sounded great. When the kick came in again it just overpowered all the low end......grrrr

    [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1487597598' post='3241017'] With all gear matters, trust your head rather than your heart - the opposite of musical decisions! [/quote] Absolute blasphemy! Does this mean I have to come up with REASONS based on FACT to buy that extra bass instead of FEAR (Feeble Excuses And Reasoning) to feed my GAS?

    I don't have an issue with musical competitions per se as I was brought up playing brass instruments and it was common practice to enter competitions either as a solo, duo, quartet etc or full band. The pieces were set by the adjudicators prior to the event so everyone payed the same piece. Although the music was scripted it was up to each entrant to practise and interpret the piece their way. They were then marked on tone, technique, dynamics, tempo and overall interpretation. If we'd only been assessed on simply how fast, complex or popular a piece was, it would have missed the point. At a sports day its pretty easy to assess who is the winner as its usually 1 dimensional against a known standard eg: time, distance, points etc. Music is much more complex and subjective as to how it moves each listener differently. If there is to be any musical competition I think it has to be carefully thought out - what are the judges going to assess, how will they do it, how will they feed their comments back and what is the aim of the contest. If in my case the contests were set up to encourage me to practice and work towards a goal in a constructive manor, great. If in cases like the X-Factor its just a money mill that I don't feel encourages people into music then....nah. Not for me. :-)

    DR Bass DRB 2460 Full Range Bass Cab [color=#FF0000][b]SOLD[/b][/color] I’ve had this cab for the last 3 years and have gigged it, alternating with my Barefaced. The DR 2460 is very well built with a very tough Duratex finish which shows very few marks from use. I’ve found the bottom end to be tight and sound clear and balanced all the way up the frequencies. The top end is clear without being aggressive or abrasive. Both the mids and highs can be adjusted + or – with the controls on the side of the cab. This isn’t the lightest cab on the market but because of its compact shape and side handles is pretty easy to shift around. There's no cover with it. [s]For a shipping guide price I got a quick quote from Interparcel (based on assumed packed dims and weight) and assumed shipping from Aberdeen to London and it came out at £18 with UPS.[/s] Reason for selling…..GAS of course! I’ve seen something else I would like to try and it was either sell this or my Barefaced. 2 x 12" 400W drivers (Eminence Delta 12B) 1 x 6” 150W mid range driver 1 x 3” horn Separate High and Mid level controls Power handling 800 watts rms Impedance 8 ohms 2 x 1/4" and 2 x Speakon connectors Frequency response: 43hz - 20khz Weight: 65lbs / 29.5kg Dimensions 24.5” x 21.5” x 15” (62cm x 55cm 38cm) Heres a link to the photos which I will try and embed once I work out which photo host is best to use now since Picasa decided to change. :-( [url="https://goo.gl/photos/q9op9rwCRqWLxvx88"]https://goo.gl/photo...op9rwCRqWLxvx88[/url] Any questions just ask.

    Started my PC up this morning and all is well??? I hadn't noticed any different adverts at all that might have caused it.

    I've currently got a brace of "heathen" amps....yes both Class D Demeter HBP-1-800D Tecamp Puma 900 Both are quite adept at sounding great and kicking ass when paired with either of my cabs Barefaced Big Twin T DR Bass 2460 Great amps, great cabs, great basses....It's just a shame that the weak link in the chain is me!

    Check out Powersoft amps. I used to use one and its relatively lightweight with plenty of power on tap. :-)
  22. Acebassmusic
    Check the keys they are in........then check again! I was depping a few weeks ago, 6 hours notice and the band provided the charts. Great I thought, until I found out the keys player used their transpose button a lot and some of the keys had been changed and the band detuned by a half step as well...argh! Once sorted it all went well :-)
