Apart from difficulties with the actual fitting, is there any reason I can't put a handle on the side of my GK MB212 cab? It would make getting it out of the boot a lot easier!

I don't have any 7" singles, nor any 25 pdr shells

I "found" two ammo boxes in my garage last night, stamped P59 MK2 1945, neither have any original condition worth, one is completely brown and the other I painted black when I got it years ago. I'm thinking of rubbing the black one down and repainting it, either plain black again or an appropriate army green, and then foam lining the inside for use as a cable box or microphone case. Any other suggestions what else to do with them? I can see it being more of a pain to lug about with cables in than a shoulder bag, it would be different though!

I'm giving away 2x 1 litre of Shell Helix Plus 10w 40 and 1x 1 litre of Honda 0w 30 if anyone wants them. Unopened and free

Sean Yseult and Jennifer Finch as already mentioned, and Caroline Campbell and Rayna Foss.

Hopefully it's now complete! I've said that before tho... [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF7927_zps0576cc9a.jpg.html"][/url] Lights out! [url="http://s1118.photobucket.com/user/SOrchard6/media/DSCF7930_zps9c524fd1.jpg.html"][/url]

It's evolved, as these things do! I'm going to call it finished and sit back and admire it. Structurally it's much the same, except that it's now got a case which meant rebuilding it to fit the case height. The PSU has moved out from underneath and the triangular sides have gone in place of 15mm x15mm batons.

Another +1 for practice. We've only had two so far and we're sounding pretty good already haven't got much of a repertoire that we're all good at at the same time, but it's fun trying

Tried it over the weekend into my own cab using the practice room settings... By Crom was that loud! Back to sensible levels and all is well with the world. It sounds better than before, some of the knobs must have been nudged in transit and given a better setting! [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1402652068' post='2475612'] I sincerely hope you mean that you used proper speaker cables with 1/4" jack connectors, and didn't actually use instrument cables to hook up the cabs to your amp. [/quote] I call them instrument cables because that's what they look like. I've no idea what they are, but as they were in situ on the Peavey rig I'm assuming that they're suitable.

It didn't feel right, and from what you're saying it isn't right so I'll either stick with the Peavey head or if I can be bothered next time I'll take my full rig along. I've got a proper speaker cable, but the Peavey units don't have a speakon connection. I think if I used the amp with the 212 as it's set up now then the house would fall down! Cheers

We were in a practice room for the first time last night *bounce, bounce* and there is a Peavey stack in it. A Mark VI XP head and two cabs, a single 15 and what looked like it may have been a 2x10. I took my GK MB500 Fusion head with me, just so that I could use it more than anything else, and used that with the Peavey cabs. The cabs are instrument cable connected and when I was only using the 15 I had to wind the head up, almost to the three quarter mark to get a sensible level. I then plugged the other cab in and brought it back down to below halfway. I've got two queries regarding this, was it louder because I was using both cabs so the head was producing it's stated 500w or was it louder because it was moving more air with three speakers instead of one? Or both! I've got a GK 212 at home, but I didn't bring it, but I'm now worried that it wouldn't be able to cope on it's own and I should look at getting another cab. Is running the head with the dial almost all the way 'round going to be normal when we use our own kit to gig or is it going to be a mismatch between my head and the Peavey cabs? I'll leave it at home next time and use the one in the room I think to save the magic smoke. TBH, I'm a bit surprised that I had to take it up so far which is why I'm worried. It's not a huge room though and maybe our drummer is a bit of a thug and we didn't realise...

I'd like some pointers on how to get a sensible synth effect from an MS60B please. I can't seem to get any nice noise out of it, I can get the "Peow" sound on the first note but then it either doesn't happen again or sort of does a long drawn out one over several notes. I've tried all the synth patches and they all have a little bit of what I want but not all in one. Maybe I need to read up on what the effects are copies of and see how the real thing worked.

Chris is a top bloke and all round good egg. If you want someone daft enough to organise a bass bash with, Chris is your man

Many many thanks to all of you who came this afternoon and many thanks to my parter in crime, Roland Rock. The Baton made £75

The Baton came to the Midlands Bass Bash with me, it left with Grammefriday and made £75

It is indeed, and will be putting itself about on Saturday for the price of a picture and a donation to charidee. I even got my folks to put something in the pot when I picked it up this evening.

It's perfectly acceptable to just turn up without a bass. I wasn't as I don't think I've got anything that everyone hasn't seen, unless a 5 string P is considered exotic, and I was going to come by bike anyway if the weather was nice I am now bringing the BC relay baton, hopefully I won't be taking it home with me

+1 Much better than a sunburst/tort combo

What does II-V-I turnaround mean?

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1398599092' post='2435584'] John Entwistle i would agree with but i'm not sure about Steve Harris.....he is a great bass player but i don't know if musically he is above that of ay Dave Murray?? It is very subjective and difficult to define. [/quote] He has written nearly every Maiden song, co-written most of the others, plays the keyboards on the studio songs, produced a bunch of the albums and probably manages his daughters band as well. Not sure whether that makes him the better musician, but he's more than just the bassist
