We don't play them all every gig obviously.

They're right, if it's an injury at work then 'work' is responsible. See the doc and get a diagnosis but if it is tennis elbow it will just get better on its own. You could also be offered the injection in the elbow, now that's something to look forward too. Good luck.

They're the same a Schallers and they're easy to convert. Once you've taken one apart you see what I mean. Pain in the bum having to do it though. If we stopped being wrong handed then we'd be the same as every one else and not special anymore.

I use one of those myself, great mixer. How many channels are you going to use as standard? If there are enough spare channels try what the guitarist wants and just plug his leads into the mic channels and turn the channel gains down 'til you're not overloading the channel, check it with the PFL button and if the guitar signal is still overloading the input with the gain right down you'll have to use the line inputs which means jacks. If you're not overloading the channel then you're not hurting it. Keyboards into the stereo channels with jacks is no problem. I feed a, ipod and minidisc player through mine. D.I. boxes etc, try them in the mic channels, they should be OK but again if they overload the mic channel with the gain right down just use the line input. You have to be a bit careful with the compressors as well or you'll get feedback although it quickly comes on and then just as quickly disappears. Hope this helps and good luck.

They all noticed. The sudden lack of bass, me rushing across the stage to pick it back up, plugging it back in again and trying to fix it back on the strap, failing and just sticking it in my pocket. At least we all laughed about it, including the audience, I did feel foolish.

Only an idea but you could just do a normal gig but advertise it as for charity and have volunteers going round with buckets collecting and you could donate some or all of your wages if you felt the need.

I knew that the Sound City tone controls were active which is why they sound rubbish, had a couple and never could get a good sound. Is that why SS amps don't sound that good either? Thanks for the link but it's not Apple friendly.

Had mine attached to the strap with the supplied clip and when I spun round it flew across the stage and my bass went strangely quiet.

I've always been told that valve amps have passive tone controls so a flat response would be with all the controls on 10, oh all right 11 then, but I doubt that that would be a flat response either but I would have thought that flat out eq would be closer to flat than half way.

Not sure about the physical media thing anymore. Played loads of places where demos are just piled up on shelves and never played. A few times we've even been asked to listen to some of them and give our opinions. A lot of promoters / agents have spam filters on their computers which don't allow the good stuff through. Not very positive I know but if the negatives are known then whats left is the way to go.

Been there and suffered that, don't 'alf hurt, I just carried on but didn't move my left arm as much when playing and definitely no windmills. It got better after a few months thankfully.

I have subscribed to the mag, I don't like a lot of what's in it. I don't like the interviews much and I never look at the tutorial pages. I do like the news items, editorial, Alex's fine columns and most of all the gear reviews and I prefer the amp to the bass reviews but it is the only dedicated bass mag that we've got and I'd rather buy it with all it's imperfections than to not have it all. With Joel at the helm it can only get better.

Yes, I did like the Hiwatt best and I do have a Mywatt 200. Superb amp, love it to bits, it's just like, well, a Hiwatt only cheaper.

Just been over to talkbass and found an interesting thread about valve amp comparisons. here's the youtube link, [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erSHiJeG8JM[/media] and heres a link to the talkbass thread, [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/heads-up-tube-amp-comparison-6-amps-898389/."]http://www.talkbass....6-amps-898389/.[/url] I love this sort of thing.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1341999535' post='1727592'] Not really. The 412 cabs were mostly non ported and didn't put out much low bass. There were no 5 string basses, only passive electrics and most players played up the neck. The bass would cave your chest in but wouldn’t really flap your trousers. The overriding bass sound at the time was mids. I know it’s a generalisation but this sums up the bass sound of live bands that I was seeing in the clubs at the time [font=Arial][size=2][/size][/font] [/quote] Actually I have to disagree. If my bass sounded like that in the 60s / 70s I'd have thought that there was something seriously wrong. Sound City bass cabs were ported, they had a slot in the back. I get the same sound now as I did then except instead of using 4x12s I'd use 4 or 8x10s. I'm sure that if bass amps of the day only had one sound which was just mids then they wouldn't be sought after today and they wouldn't still be making them, Hiwatt, Marshall, Orange, Matamp, Reeves, Mywatt to name just a few. Sorry again, but I never knew any bass players that played up the neck and passive basses are still pretty popular. Precision or Jass any one?

You could use mic splitters, this would give you 2 outputs from each mic. 1 output of each mic to the main desk and the other to your monitors. You could use just a y-cable to a load of these, http://www.studiospares.com/splitter-combiners/studiospares-red506-microphone-splitter/invt/458250/?htxt=%2FUvRjc0xAaKk26JwgsxcsV6E2gjpK53ITJCPcypNRrR6jhjYX3SDlEUFWaOdTpLU0xVcTayKYYOc%0Aw4t9gBa9qg%3D%3D, or even some of these, http://www.behringer.com/en/Products/MX882.aspx.

I used a pair of matching Sound City 4x12s with the Sound city 200 head I had in the early 70s.

I'm impressed, I wonder what his playing's like in the bedroom?

+1 for a great suggestion.

Baredfaced 69er.

That must be the WMC where most of the audience leave after the bingo leaving you playing to the 25 audience that actually want to see the band. Know it well.

I'd love one too if they were long scale, easily converted to left handed.

Saw a red Jaguar with white scratch plate on TV once, beautiful and a great sound, try getting a left handed on though.

Always carry 2 stands with me main bass and spare and always make sure there's enough room for them.
