Would have loved to have seen Garibaldi and Bobby Vega laying it down.

2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')
Japhet replied to Sibob's topic in General Discussion
I've had a good run but I've fallen off the wagon. Had a shocking year financially so it wasn't a problem to curtail the spending but I need a phaser so I've splashed out a massive £16 on a Joyo Vintage Phaser off ebay. -
I had one of these and there was apparently a manufactureing issue where there was an earth wire that was prone to coming loose which took out the output section. I had mine repaired for around £100 but it's worth checking and improving the earth to stop it happening again. Lovely amp by the way.

I did have to chop a bit out under my pedal board to fit the ISO4 underneath it and have access to all the uotlets. Works a treat though.

2019 Gear Abstinence Challenge (Updated with 'rules')

I found that the relative cheapness of these cabs was more than compensated fro by trips to the osteopath. -
What works at home generally doesn't work in a live mix. You'd probably find that the Aquilar cuts through better in a live mix and the Ashdown gives you the sound you like at home. Horses for courses.

Your amp will have a minimum load. It's most probably 4 Ohm in which case you'll fry it if you try to run 2x 4 Ohm cabs. Running at half power makes no difference and you'll still fry it. Don't do it.

Anthony Jackson did some great basslines for Donald Fagan as well. Ruby Baby is a great version of an old classic.

Sax player. Jazz snob, abrasive, arrogant Scottish knob. Played in a band with him for 6 years and I don't think he ever bought a round (not that I'm stereotyping him).

Peavey TNT 130 vs Ashdown electric Blue 180
Japhet replied to skidder652003's topic in Amps and Cabs
Peavey for me too. I don't mind Ashdown stuff but these combos were gutless. By comparison, the Peavey is a bit of a beast. -
Our drummer once said 'If ever I reach a point where I don't know what to listen to, I always go straight back to Judas Priest'. That was 9 years ago and it's never been a problem.

Looks like it was 'adapted' by Jeremy Clarkson and friends.

I've got the Time Core delay which sounds pretty good on bass. Has quite a nice reverby sound on the analogue setting.
-
My 200 watter isn't at all heavy due to modern transformer technology. It's obviously not class D light, but it's not any problem to pick up either. -
I've got the 200 watt version and it's an absolute peach of an amp. Build quality, sound and power are all 10 out of 10. Fabulous.
-
Joyo American Sound is a nice pedal with plenty of grunt on tap or just a smidge if that's what you're after. I picked up an Ampeg Scrambler quite cheaply as well which does the job you describe very nicely.
-
I've been to gigs with fantastic musicians and expensive tickets where all I can hear is people trapping off about their tiresome lives and other random garbage. People often aren't interested when they know who they've gone to see and have paid a fortune to be there.
-
I use a Vitoos ISO4 Plus on a pedal board and find it really good. I keep digital and analogue pedals separated and have a couple of the analogue pedals daisy chained and it works perfectly. Under £30 on Ebay and is very slim and neat.
-
A few left. -
As already stated - make sure you have a speaker plugged in before you fire it up, otherwise blue smoke will eminate from your lovely new amp.

I enjoyed it. Watched it on the night and would still be watching it now if all of the people mentioned so far in the thread had been included in the programme. Not sure what people actually expect from a one hour programme.

Sad news. Loved SAHB back in the day and after Alex departed as well.

They gave you a shewee at primary school? I thought all the gender neutral stuff in schools was a recent phenomenon.

Spending money and then liking the cheap stuff best
Japhet replied to operative451's topic in General Discussion
I mostly gig now with my Harley Benton 50 P Bass and leave my Stingray, Lakland and Tokai at home. -
Try positioning your thumb on your fretting hand opposite your 2nd finger. It's comfortable to position it opposite your index finger but it makes stretching for other notes much more difficult.
