They have previous - anyone else remember the Rory Gallagher custom shop strat?

Well, each to his own I suppose. It looks to me like it was made out of an old sideboard.

Anyone?

Could be right Liam, it's just that every time I see the phrase 'get the full power from the amp' I start to lose the will to live. To get the max volume, he needs to run 2 4Ohm speakers one off each channel and move the maximum amount of air. As far as I can see, the spec doesn't say what the output impedance or power delivery is for bridged mode.

The amp you've linked to has Speakon connectors or terminal posts (not banana plug sockets). You need Speakon to 1/4 jack speaker leads (not audio cables). Best bet here is to talk to obbm.

Might be worth having a word with Mike Walsh at Iceni / Purple Chilli - they're based in Witham.

I borrowed one of these from Dave.c for a couple of gigs last weekend and I have to say I'm impressed. Gig no. 1 was in a large marquee on a stage about 4 feet off the ground - a steel or aluminium framed structure which looked like it was based on a trailer. Bass player uses a Yamaha EUB through a Hartke kickback and DI's into the PA. Stage sound is normally boomy even on a concrete floor - this time it was much tighter, more focussed and the sound on stage meant we could hear everything more clearly as a result. It was an improvement from when we played the same gig last year. Gig no. 2 was in a small pub in Ipswich (The Spreadeagle, for locals) which has recently installed a 'stage', a 6-inch high wooden structure (more of an overgrown drum riser). I was on bass, used my EBS cab (slightly larger than the pad) and Markbass head. Cab within a foot of the back wall. I've played the venue several times before and once again I think my sound was a definite improvement. So for me, it's worked well and I'll probably buy one. I don't understand why using a stand will reduce the amount of vibration transmitted to the floor. It seems to me that any stand capable of holding up a 2x12 or 4x10 is going to be very rigid and will transmit the same amount of vibration to the floor as the cab would. Anyone?

The vocal track is even more unpleasant than Adele's. That takes some doing.

A word of warning though - not all Speakon sockets will accept a jack plug. I don't know what's fitted to a 104HF and the unhelpful Markbass web site doesn't offer the option of dowloading the manual. You might need to experiment, or find somebody who has one.

Second hand OLP MM3 if you like a narrow spacing, or Bass Collection if you like a wide spacing - either of these should be under £200. If you want to spend a bit more and a narrow spacing is to your liking, you should be able to find a G&L 2500 Tribute for around £350.

Mayonnaise is also very effective at removing sticker goo and won't damage the underlying finish or require you to handle everything with gloves on, unlike some of the solvents being suggested here. At least no-one has suggested trichloroethylene yet!

[quote name='eubassix' timestamp='1334847728' post='1622300'] Thanks / as expected: collated and to be forwarded. Latest Q:- [i]Is there any way to secure the money into the bank and tell them about this bass and if this is fraud they can refund the money and sent this guy to the court ?[/i] !!!!!! [/quote] Just a hunch, but when you travel on the bus, does the nutter always sit down next to you? Not sure what you've done to deserve it.

Ki0gon, I'm not sure what that link you posted is supposed to demonstrate, but when I followed it I got 40 pages of search results. The problem is this - go to the Feedback forum, type in 'pete.young' and it brings up one thread - the one tom1946 started when he couldn't find the original thread (started by Higgie in 2007 on the old forum).

Where Hadrian went wrong was not building a second wall from the Wash to the Bristol Channel.

Hi, Someone has just pointed out that the search engine doesn't pick up my feedback thread. Could someone take a look at this please? Kind regards, Pete

ziggydolphinboy - North East usually starts at Middlesbrough and goes North. A bit far from Essex I would have thought.

Does anyone know of a schematic for a power supply, to power effects pedals?

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1334531275' post='1617400'] Speaking of headphones, anyone know if it's ok to run an amp without connecting it to a cab? [/quote] It depends on the amp. Generally speaking, anything with power valves and transformers can't be run without a load of some kind, either a cab or a dummy load such as a power brake. Most amps with solid-state power stages don't mind, but it's worth reading the small print in the manual and maybe checking with the manufacturer.

Banzai music has them, but at 7 euros plus shipping they're probably no cheaper than Bobs. http://www.banzaimusic.com/Hammond-1590A.html
