Shockwave

[quote name='andy67' post='242449' date='Jul 18 2008, 10:14 AM']is the marshall tranny, all valve or valve/tranny? is a beast. andy[/quote] Its a tranny. Mosfet powered. [b]You should try it with a stereo bass thru 2 channels now Shockwave! I briefly tried it with the Ovation; neck pickup channel clean and bridge pickup channel with a bit of delay/chorus. Lovely massive "wall-of-sound", but TBH I couldn't be @rsed doing it live, especially as most bass amps are only single channel. [/b] I cant because it only has one input! Darn.

[quote name='ste_m3' post='242038' date='Jul 17 2008, 06:58 PM']I think Bass Ferret meant more about the internal volume of the cab Vs. the speaker design, But hey, if it sounds good who cares! [/quote] **Shrugs** Itsa a pretty weighty, Large and well constructed cab. I dont think there is a huge problem! The amp doesant have enough power to blow it up The amp actually has 2 seperate power amps rated at 200 watts each.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='242026' date='Jul 17 2008, 06:45 PM']Peavey did a lot of bi-amp gear but it never really took off - probably why they dont tend to put crossovers in their amps any more. The 1516 was a beast - it had a big brother as well, the 1820. What was wrong with the Black Widow? Hope you matched the driver and cab specs.[/quote] The stock black widow was knackered, Coil had snapped itself. the Bi-Amp peavey cabs overheated quite easily. The cab is overall a 4ohm cab, The 2x8s are 16 ohms each which equals 8 ohms, The 15 is 8 ohms so together if i use it as a full range cab i think its 4ohms, If i seperate the two sets of speakers it =8ohms, Which will run very clean at only a loss of 40 watts. Not 100% sure but my amp guy thinks the cab is awesome and runs very cleanly. The eminence is actually a better speaker then the Black widow, More wattage and better built. Oh and it works! The 1x15 Is 500 watts, the 8's are only 200 watts, However I have independent Treble and Bass volume controls on the marshall which works very well so there is no danger of blowing them. I dont need that much wattage on the treble speakers anyway due to human ear mechanics. Rob.

[quote name='stonecoldbass' post='242001' date='Jul 17 2008, 06:23 PM']Hey Rob, Great tune, nice tone as well. However, I would say that overall you're playing quite far behind the beat, especially on the 16th note runs. Good effort tho! I think that Bernard is probably one of the hardest bassists to emulate, his flowing lines are just so personal to his style. Lots to learn from his parts tho, especially about note length and rests. keep it up! craig[/quote] Hmm i never noticed that! I'll have to work on it some more maybe. Thanks for the advice and compliments Rob.

Thought the forum could do with a feel good thread. I have been going from one amp to another very recently. I find one realise i dont like it very much, Go onto the next. They play second fiddle to my bass spending, And i try to get as much as i can from very little money ampwise. I allways seemed to end up with cabs/amps that have had problems or incorrect ohmages, I have had more then my fair share of amp failures. However they are now all gone My rig is now complete. Its a Marshall 3540 Bi-Amp. Peavey 1x15 2x8 Bi-amp cab. The amp is one i am very familiar with, i had the 200 watt 3520 version for a while and i loved the sound, a good mix between a funk/rock sound. And one can be picked up fairly cheap, They are criminally underrated and have a very clean tone. One would say "Transparant" But only if you want it to be! Anyway, I liked the 200 watt so much i upgraded to the 400 watt and couldnt be happier! The cab is amazing! I took out the black widow and put a 500 watt eminence into it. Bi-amped the Treble to 2x8's and the bass to the 15 and it sounds so amazingly clear, This is the first time i have experienced Bi-amping in the flesh. Its bloody brilliant. Every naunce (and mistake) Comes through and cuts the mix. I heartily endorse Bi-amping. And with the peavey cab it gets around the nuisance of carting around 2 cabs!

This is the exact problem of making sweeping generalisations on the internet.

Hey guys. Another quick vid. Just learnt the two bass parts from Sister Sledges - Hes the Greatest dancer. One of Bernard Edwards finest moments. Of course i had to use a BC-Rich eagle like the man himself The tones nearly nailed, Though you couldnt tell from the Camera Mic! I believe Bernard at this point was playing Musicmans.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='240586' date='Jul 16 2008, 08:41 AM']Bit depressing to see a lot of gear not moving though, a sign of the times I supppose - anyway, good to be back on the board.[/quote] Hey trust me, If someone had what i wanted i would buy it! I actually have money for a change where no one else has! Rob.

Just enter the dimensions and rough weight and Bob's your auntie's live in lover.[/quote] Read my post! It cant be collected from my place. Rear access only, No postie would be able to find my flat! Anyway, its all taped up and ready to go, Will be popping down the post office and see what happens. Otherwise i have a backup plan and use my mothers work expense account. Btw i love the bass in the avatar! Rob.

Hey guys. I might be in the position of buying a black 5 string precision deluxe fender. However its with a tort guard, and i want a gold anodised pickguard! Is there anywhere online i can get one thats pre made? or do i have to get it custom made? I havent managed to find any replacements for a 5 string. Otherwise wheres a good place in the UK that will make me one out of anodised gold? Cheers! Rob.
