im looking to downsize my effects, im currently using a zoom 9.1ut which is great but i only use 2 patches which i only use in twice for short periods in a set , one with effects one just for tone shaping, im hoping to downsize to something more compact. i will only be using modulation, delay and reverb effects (oh and maybe a little compression), everything else will be switched off as i will be getting all my toneshaping needs from the amp from now on. has anyone here used both of these units, i have researched a little and im pretty sure the zoom will do what i need but i came across a few people who thought the modulations and delays were nicer on the korg and more importantly the korg has that highly visible tuner which is super handy. any opinions on the matter would be appreciated.

It turns out the gas was too much and I am weak. Ordered, fingers crossed it'll be here in time for my next gig on Friday.

Excellent to see Doug is excelling at customer service once again [/quote] cant wait for some reviews to come in, im particularly interested to hear how it sounds with the Barbikan stuff Kev as thats pretty close to what we do.

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1476201234' post='3152254'] I tried to convince the guys in the band to try the BF PA system when we were looking at a new PA. Unfortunately, being relatively unknown outside the bass-playing community & the "homemade" look meant the rest of the band wouldn't entertain spending £4K on the BF system, trial or no trial. We ended up going for the QSC KW112 tops & subs in the end. [/quote] i can see this happening a lot, when we buy a new pa im looking for reasons to put my foot down, thats why im after more info/testamonials before i pitch it to the band although tbh they will probably go with whatever i say anyway. i will feel better about it with a bit more info though.

im also tempted by a fr800 pa, anyone out there using them? more info/comparisions would be great

i cant wait for some reviews, im very very tempted...............hmmmmm........the wife wouldn't approve.

i think a quick look at the D'Addario website is in order

i was thinking of trying 45-105's but was a bit concerned about them being too light with dropping 3 semitones, thanks for the input folks i do prefer light gauge strings so i might try them and if im not happy going up to some kind of 50 - 110/115 set, a 120 i think might be too much for me.

Does anyone use c# tuning on a 34" scale 4 string bass? I usually prefer 40-100 Sadowsky blue label steels and love the feel on my standard tuned 33" scale Xylem ( not too much tension and bright and zingy) but I'm setting up a bass in standard c# tuning and wondered if anyone can help many thanks.

yeah its a bit pricey, i would be more tempted if it wasn't white too, i think it looks great but might end up looking very grubby in my hands. i definitely want to try one out at some point though.

thanks, i did do a search before posting but missed it :^)

just spotted this at bass direct, nothing on the darkglass website though im thinking this could very well be my next amp purchase, thoughts? [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Darkglass_Microtubes_900_head.html"]http://www.bassdirec...s_900_head.html[/url] found a pic, i like thew look of the cabs [attachment=226443:darkglass.jpg]

i have a rh750 and a super 12t and play in a very loud metal band, with a very prominent bass tone. ive never had it even halfway on the master volume and im often too loud haha. i also tried the eden a while ago and it definitely seemed to have less perceived volume than thew tc for me. (although i didn't a-b them directly) if i was in your position though the peavey would be top of my list to try, it does indeed look very interesting.

[quote name='1970' timestamp='1457019559' post='2994522'] Maybe just me, but my mark iv IS a lightweight format! it's a dead easy 1-handed lift (though a bit lopsided... Maybe it's because I'm a reformed GT200 and V4 owner... but the mk iv is just not that heavy. [/quote] i remember it being big and heavy (and very lopsided for that matter)but that was a long time ago, it was certainly a lot heavier then my tc rh750 i might see if i can pick up a used one and rehouse it for better balance and less weight, might be a fun little project

[quote name='Tee' timestamp='1456433977' post='2989093'] How about a mini version of the Mark IV series [/quote] this!!! great amps i had a mark iv and a vi back in the day, both awesome amps, if they can nail that in a lightweight format ill be all over it.

i would love to try one of these out

tis rather amusing :^)

just spotted this, i think the price is a touch on the high side, haha. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TENNESSEE-15-STRING-EXTENDED-RANGE-BASS-/291674941903

just sold a GK amp switcher and the transaction was without issues, great communications and promt payment, a pleasure to deal with cheers!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1424386712' post='2695917'] The fellow's not wrong; this is a fine, superbly produced and executed album, a steal at the download or digipak price asked. No 'throwaway' tracks, a coherent, dense but aerien sound, recognisable lyrics that are not complete 'tosh' (technical term... ) for a change; what's not to like..? No point in offering comparisons (sounds like xxx or yyy...), these folks stand on their own terms. Worth a listen, surely..? Thanks for the heads-up, Anthony, and 'Well done, Winterfire'... [/quote] thanks for your input and thanks for listening, i have only just seen your post but its great to see that you liked our stuff (and the production too, always a concern for a self produced effort) :^)
