[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1386083887' post='2295488'] Richie Blackmore used to swap his strat for a cheapo woolworths special before sacrificing it on the alter of Rock 'N' Roll and the [b]Marshall stacks he used to destroy were made of cardboard.[/b] It was all just pantomime for the teenage boys in the front row. I hope this bit of inside information has calmed you down. [/quote] But....but.....those cardboard boxes could have provided somebody with a temporary storage facility! Outrageous!

Unfortunately, I think the main clue is right there in the main post. If you lend out a rig where the amp is WAY too powerful for the cab, then you really are asking for trouble.

I'd go for the Roland 120XL Cube in the F/S Section.

I think some people just love to see their opinion out there as if it is fact. Remember, we are in the realms of Youtube and similar with the constant assertions that Cliff Burton is 'best'...no, it's Victor Wootten... no, it's Jaco....no, it's James Jamerson, with all of it stated as if it is undisputed fact. I like to think Basschatters are a lot more open minded.

In my experience, everybody needs to set their level to an un-miked drum kit volume. Therefore the question is, does your pot basher play a Woolworths kit or a full DW set up?

I blame Simon Cowell. It is also his fault that I got a puncture yesterday and that my garden fence has blown down. In all seriousness though, I think the British public's magnetic attraction to reality TV and 'talent' shows is having a severely detrimental effect on the music industry from what we hear on the radio to how many punters venture out for gigs.

Robbie MacIntosh is just wonderful also. Saw him with Pino in his band around the time of his Emotional Bends album which Pino also played on. Happy memories.

Spotted both these Pumas on the F/S page. They are like buses - you hang around for ages then 2 turn up together. Unfortunately I was stood at the bus stop but didn't have the fare!

Cheap Schroeder 2x12s in the F/S section are small and light but pack a mighty punch.

As with the advice above, it sounds like the guitars are hogging your frequencies. They need to EQ.

If you want something to 'noodle' along with, try Young Lust from The Wall.

If you can find one a Laney LC30 (early version) is a cracking amp, especially if you upgrade the speaker.

Line 6 LD15 is a good little practice amp. Plenty loud and jam packed with features. Has an input for MP3 player or whatever for you to play along with (through headphones if you like). Plenty of tones and effects on board and well under £100.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1384876866' post='2281753'] I have noticed that the resident experts on here are quick to tell everyone not to use mismatched cabs even though a 1x15 and 2x10 was a very popular rig for a long time yet the most popular mismatched rig I see now is normally some kind of [b]Barefaced mountain[/b] of various cabs piled up with some on their side etc? [/quote]That has just given me an idea for a screenplay. It's about 2 bass players who take a bit of a shine to each other...........................

I used to play in a band which did mostly originals but some covers. We used to do It's Not Unusual by Tom Jones as a ska song and it was a proper laugh. The punters absolutely loved it.

I have the same type of setup you're talking about. I have the envelope filter (3 Leaf) first, TC Nova compressor next, MXR Octaver next and a MarkBass Booster at the end. Seems to work pretty well.

Genz Streamliner won't sound 'thin' and are cheap as chips now.

Sad news. Here's a couple of tracks from a gig I was at God knows how many years ago. Livingstone Brown doing his thing on the bass by the way. PH was a very talented bloke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK9a-yMluag http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFoaHJnQzS4

Nothing new really. I generally find that when soundchecking or recording the process generally goes; 1) 40% of available time for singer to decide which mic sounds best, where is the best place to stand, how much reverb to use etc.... 2) 30% of available time for guitarist(s) to dial in 'their sound', achieve deafening enough level of foldback, position pedal board in most inconvenient position on the stage, set levels for solos etc.... 3)29.998% of available time to set kick drum and snare levels and monitors for drummer with obligatory 10 minutes of bomp bpomp bomp from said kick drum. 4) Remaining 0.002% of available time for bass player to play 1 low frequency note and 1 high frequency note to be told "Yeah! You're good to go mate".
