DR BASS cab on its way!!! [attachment=5203:DSCF0044.JPG] DI'ed it mono post effects and eq into Ableton live and it sounds amazing. The best i have ever heard my bass sound!!! Got the case from daflewis on here, top bloke to deal with. Really protects my gear well.

[/quote] I must say a rack tuner on a pedal Board looks like a great idea!!!! How come you have have not opted for a pedal tuner?

[quote name='dood' post='92983' date='Nov 22 2007, 08:32 PM']ok try this... go to your mate's computer whilst he is away.. and whilst on their desktop hit the "print screen" key on the keyboard.Now, run paint and select edit > paste - yeah you know that bit..easy. Save the picture somewhere safe that you now have.Don't close paint just yet Ok here's the fun bit.. go back and cut all the icons from the desktop.. dump em somewhere hidden.. you could even delete them. Next bit... set the picture you have just saved as the desktop background. (you can do this from within paint) YOu should have a desktop that now looks exactly like it did before you started messing about.. (close paint, obviously) just watch your mate try to open his icons though.. hawww hawww hawww...[/quote] I do miss paint, dont have it on my MAC . I have only just figured out how to do print screen. Its something stupid like apple button, shift, 4!!!!

All you need now to finish your big rig is a nice head and set of cabs, your Fender will come alive and your hear so much more from your pedals. Looking foreword to what's coming next!

The Fender Custom Shop precision looks gorgeous. It bet it sounds amazing too. What's the pedal below the deep impact? Looks like a whammy of some sort?

Once Dave has finished building my DHA preamp, that will be mounted above the Little Mark 2. I'm going to run it into the effects return and just use the Markbass head as a power amp. [/quote] Iv seen quite a lot of rigs with that cab configuration. I bet it sounds amazing. Im very tempted myself to go the GK route. However, this year i am being strict with myself and only buying stuff after i have tried it. How does GK stuff sound? Do they have a tight bottom end? Particularly the 2x12.

What's your IPOD going into? Looks interesting.

[quote name='paul, the' post='110020' date='Dec 27 2007, 08:09 PM']Poor you [/quote] It is annoying because i have no speakers to play it through! I have not felt its full force yet! Does anyone know how much the bass is worth? Im defiantly not going to sell it, its a keeper and i enjoy playing it but i would like to get it properly insured.

All i currently have to play it through is my Ampeg SVT Pro 4 head. Need to get a 2x12 or 4x12 cab to play it all through. With my old rig this bass sounded amazing, it sounds so big and imposing. Im pretty sure the neck is lacquered, it feels smooth not grainy.

I have had this about 6 months now and its time to put some pics up. [attachment=4347:DSCF0028.JPG] [attachment=4348:DSCF0034.JPG] [attachment=4349:DSCF0033.JPG] Im not sure of its exact age im guessing around 1991? It has the original foam blocks at the bridge and six neck bolts. The neck is gorgeous with lots of character. Lovely sounding bass too, its now my number one choice.

[quote name='jammie17' post='108683' date='Dec 23 2007, 07:46 PM']Cool...well I just wanted to make you aware that a couple people had issues with them....but that was some time ago...year or more ago. It's a nice amp...congrats. 1200 watts!!??? WOW!! :wub: Jim[/quote] Cheers! This head is getting way too much respect from me. Im scared its going to blow up everything i plug it in too or blow its self up. I think ill got a computer fan and blow air through the back vent when i use it.

I got a new SVT 4 delivered to me recently and i discovered that the main vents are on the side of the head. Are there any 6u-8u racks which are wider than usual and allow air to flow easily around the side? Also, are plastic racks very strong? I obviously want to protect the head as much as possible but it weighs a ton already and a wooden/metal rack would add more weight. Any help will be appreciated!
