    I love mine too and would not mind another as a backup at some point but the Genz gear has been slashed at Bass Direct recentley :) in fact most makes gear has been reduced from what I can see, great amp though :)

    I wasn't going to mention bass direct, but yep you're right on the prices.

  2. [attachment=93013:image.jpeg][attachment=93014:GeorgeL1.jpeg]Hi,

    I have for sale or possible trade:

    11 x George L right angle patch/pedal jacks with a bit of cable (see pics). They retail about £4.50 per jack. So sensible offers please. - Sold pending funds.

    I also have some attachment plates for boss pedals(apparently) so you can screw them down x 19 and a number of power board connectors, two sizes - presume these are standard and non standard, 18 in total see pics.

    Open to offers for the lot but may separate or trade for what have you.

    Thanks tony

  3. Hi peeps,

    I have the peavy ampkit interface and am using the amplitube free app. All in all it's pretty good, however if I just want to jam along to a random track I have to import it from
    iTunes. Annoying, yes if I had to slow down the track or loop a certain part I can understand this to be all part of the functionality process. But the ability just to jam along to any track without having to import them would be heaven. I have seen a number of forums stating conflicting conclusions on the full paid version, some saying in the full version You can do Exactely this play along to any in the iTunes library without having to import and the others saying the opposite! Gr... Understand there are other apps like ishred that allow you to this. Anyone know for sure? I'm I missing a trick?

    Thanks Tony

  4. Thanks Risingson, tried one of those powerball things before and it was hard trying to get it to work. My mate has one so will ask to borrow it, see if I can get it working this time round. I'll take it all onboard and hopefully work towards being crampless(is that a word? If it ain't it should be!)
    Cheers

  5. Thank god it ain't just me. Ive just got back from gigging tonight and probably had my worst gig ever. Second set just went totally pear shaped. Severe cramp in my fretting hand, pinky and middle finger totally locked together. Had this happen a couple of times previously but have always managed to shake it off pretty much immediately. Tonight was a different story, wanted the ground to swallow me up. Now I do have quite small hands and fingers and as a side thought wondering perhaps I need to change to a shorter neck, although ive been playing long scale for donkeys years. I don't know perhaps I need to go back to basics and re-evaluate my technique and kick out the bad habits. Any more advice is welcome.

  6. [quote name='lobematt' post='1341702' date='Aug 16 2011, 11:41 AM']My dad is getting married and the wedding party is on 24th September. We had a little 3 piece lined up to play ( acoustic, double bass, keys) and they've just cancelled on us. I was wondering if anyone on here could take the gig? It's in Liverpool and I think they want a 2 hour set between about 5:30 and 7:30 and they're pretty easy on style of music, obviously no metal haha.

    Anyway, if anyone can do it let me know and I'll run it by them![/quote]


    Hi,

    My band are available. Weddings is all we do really.

    We're based in Lancashire but can travel if petrol covered in costs.

  7. Hi, I have been using elixirs for the last two years and like them, they feel slick and have lasted an absolute age without losing any tone. I have never tried the DR range of coated strings, I was looking at the silver stars as Im unsure of this coloured string thing, it just doesn't rock my boat! Also the DR Bootzillas, as they apparently are clear coated and have a bit more bite.

    Thoughts please, should I stick with the tried and tested or try the greener grass on the DR side.

    Cheers Tony

  8. [quote name='tayste_2000' post='1357523' date='Aug 31 2011, 01:48 PM']I use one and it's great, very quick to pickup your note, perfect bypass and the visibility is excellent even in pitch black or outdoors. The size and build quality are big plus on a touring board.

    For reference I've owned
    Korg DT-10
    Boss TU-2
    Korg DTR-2000
    Peterson Strobostomp 1
    Peterson Strobostomp 2
    Planet Waves[/quote]

    Wow that's a collection of quality tuners!

  9. Hi peeps,
    I love my korg pitchblack and the visibility of the Led when on stage, however the tracking on the Turbo Tuner is lightening fast. Looking at a few vids on this and it looks pretty good, wish the display was as clear and as distinguished as the pitchblack. Any thoughts?

  10. [quote name='mike f' post='1351350' date='Aug 25 2011, 02:28 PM']I'd go;

    Korg Pitchblack tuner>EBS Octa Bass> Sansamp PB>EBS Bass IQ>EBS Unichorus>EBS Multi comp

    Clean signal into the Octave and a bit of dirt into the IQ. Give it a go![/quote]


    Interesting, Sansamp say the compression should be before it. Both comments so far have the octaver early in the chain which I haven't tried before, I suppose the tracking would be better. I'll give it a whirl.

  11. Hi,

    Just about add a couple of new additions to my pedal board so I'm taking the opportunity to have a general spring clean.

    These are my pedals and the order I was thinking of putting them in the chain having read the sansamp booklet I'm a bit unsure where to stick the octaver.

    Korg Pitchblack tuner>EBS Multi comp> Sansamp PB>EBS Octa Bass>EBS Bass IQ>EBS Unichorus

    What do you think folks?

    Thanks
    Tony
