Madre de Dios - how did I miss this? EBS MicroBass II [new version] & a J-Lo fuzz anyone?

[quote name='Beedster' post='482771' date='May 8 2009, 10:34 AM']It's about £30 more than I usually leave a gig with [/quote] You too, eh?

[quote name='steve-soar' post='482392' date='May 7 2009, 08:25 PM']Same here, 23/4? years and still don't know what I'm doing.[/quote] Me too - I can't think it'll happen now either.

Busy day Alex? Excellent idea mate.

Some good info on compressors [url="http://wiki.basschat.co.uk/info:effects:compressors_and_limiters"]here[/url] & [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/"]here[/url]. My vote goes for the EBS MultiComp, but it would do - I bought one and never turn it off.

A grand would get you a nice new Hartke LH / Barefaced rig. Or very pissed.

[quote name='john_the_bass' post='481735' date='May 7 2009, 10:54 AM']That looks quite good. I bought a nylon messenger bag in the Next sale which has enough pockets and zipped compartments to carry all my stuff and it was only £12[/quote] I use a Nike bag off one of those sports shops that closes down every week. £3.99.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='480692' date='May 6 2009, 09:52 AM']You wait... your back will be turned for one minute and... *gone*[/quote] Have you seen Transformers? They are all going to recombine and tale over the Midlands in the name of the South. Then come back home. Probably.

[quote name='Linus27' post='479100' date='May 4 2009, 04:42 PM']No, I didn't in the end. I did not want to waste his time in the end as I was still trying to decide what to go for.[/quote] I don't think it would be a waste of time, but good luck whatever you choose. [quote name='51m0n' post='480176' date='May 5 2009, 05:48 PM'][[i]The Compact is a[/i]] Fantastic cab, if you want a one cab solution, and having heard what you like I would recommend this or even more Alex' Big One (has a smoother mid range, and hence even more clarity) and an LH500 on top of it. That would be you sorted, for ever (OK you could put 2K through the Big One if you wanted, but you dont need too). 'Nuff said.[/quote] I recently moved from ABM to LH1000 and have never looked back. I've demo'd both the Compact & Big One with the LH1000 bridged & I found the Big One better in [i]my[/i] bands environment [2 guits, drummer, punk/rock] as it has a great off-axis response due to the midrange driver, meaning you will hear yourself better & so will they. The head is the same weight as an ABM and the cab is 18lb lighter than me old ABM 2x10. Happy days.

Wee.

2 guits, 3-piece drum kit, me, no PA - 20 minutes including soundcheck, parking the motors & first trip to the bar. Time is lager.

Good luck mate. Any room for Mrs Lager in your crate?

Have a careful look at the ABM 2x10 if you want to stack vertically, 'cos on the combo & cab I had the handles stood way proud. This would make it hard to stack 2, even with feet stuck on. Try it if you can.

AC/DC - Back in Black, of course. Doesn't everyone?

[quote name='WalMan' post='476984' date='May 1 2009, 01:28 PM']Or for an alternate view.....They're great. [/quote] Yep. I miss the one that was on me old Ged Jazz so much, I'm just about to get one for me Spector. Anyone got a gold M4 they don't want?

[quote name='alexclaber' post='476649' date='May 1 2009, 08:21 AM']They're [b]in a straight line[/b] but offset to smooth the response out front. Alex[/quote] I know [url="http://www.myspace.com/evolvecore"]a song about that[/url].

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='476921' date='May 1 2009, 12:29 PM']Dunno.. but I'll ask! I expect the answer might include the word OFF! How's things btw - are you still annoying the neighbours with that 1x15 of mine? And is Mr Claber building you one of his at the moment... Saw some posts with one of his cabs recently and it looked really good![/quote] Cushty mush, you? I would think my neighbours can now play that tricky run in the middle of Levitation no trouble and I am indeed awaiting the arrival of a Big One [steady son], so Denton can learn it too. You around Monday 6.00ish and I can drop the Demetriades back to you? +/- pint of course...

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='476908' date='May 1 2009, 12:21 PM']I'm off to meet Paul Herman tomorrow with Mike G at the new Wal workshop, so if anyone has any questions they'd like answers to, post them up here and I'll try to find out as much as i can...[/quote] What can he do for £50 and a crate of Stella? A big crate mind, 24 tins. Foreign silver top stuff too, none of yer UK gold top malarkey.

[quote name='BOD2' post='476733' date='May 1 2009, 09:54 AM']The gauge doesn't really matter...[/quote] Doesn't matter? Everyone knows the Wal sound changed when the UK went from imperial to metric wire gauge.

[quote name='chris_pokkuri' post='476729' date='May 1 2009, 09:49 AM']I'm also probably more likely to go for the big one rather than the compact. Do you think the heads running through the compact would be able to compete with 2 guitarists and a loud drummer at small-medium sized gigs, sometimes not di'd?[/quote] LH-1000 + Compact - yes. LH-1000 + Big One - oh yes indeed and better off-axis response meaning you will hear yourself better & so will they. See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=46780&view=findpost&p=409683"]here[/url]. For what it's worth, the guitarists in me band prefer the Big One. So I've ordered one. And some ear defenders.

I have just been the recipient of the latest BGM from young James. Tidy.
