    Recommendations for a mini-mixer

    Touch wood no none so far mate, it's hooked up to my Ashdown and I use it most days and so far it's been realiable

    I've got a [url="http://www.behringer.com/UB802/?lang=ENG"]Behringer UB802[/url] that's pretty good. I use it when my tutor comes to my place so that he can plug his gear into my amp save him having to lug his around. It does the job, you can plug up 6 bits of kit in, it has it's own effects loop that is individually controllable, all in all it's a nice bit of kit. There are a few Behringer mixers on EBay that are reasonaly priced too. I hope this helps you out mate? :)

    Speaker cables have two thick parallel conductors and are not shielded.

    Using speaker cable as instrument cable -> noise due to lack of shielding

    Using instrument cable as speaker cable -> possibility of conductors melting together and causing a short.

    Thanks for making that clear :)

    Why is this? I'm probably showing my ignorance here, but what's the difference between an instrument cable and a amp cable??

    I've gone and bought a Warwick

    Yeah which one??? :wacko: Having got my Corvette $$ 2nd from Jake Ten Floors, all I can say is it's probably my best investment yet. I've just fallen for her in a big way :wub:
    One thing that is puzzling me is I've heard so much talk about how heavy Warwicks are and how the necks are really fat/thick!? :huh: Compared to RKS my $$ is quite light and the neck is about the same thickness as the RKS. So are Corvettes a bit different to the other Warwicks in that respect or is it just me??
    Congrats on your purchase I'm sure you will have many happy hours together :)

    [quote name='guitrax' post='248260' date='Jul 26 2008, 07:35 AM']I learned 2 songs using chords in bass:
    The first is a version of tears in heaven made by Jeff Berlin:
    [url="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=hGFHsNyPHrY"]http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=hGFHsNyPHrY[/url]
    The second is a song of Dominique Di Piazza from the disc "Que alegria" John Mclaughlin:

    Very tasteful, I'm loving your tone too, great stuff. I can only aspire to play like that, I'm still trying to get my head around doing simple scale patterns let alone anything as complex as those examples :) So congratulations from me, a lowly beginner :huh:

    Any Vids of yourself??

    Actually, this is me on guitar, the bass ones have never been put on youtube :)

    No idea how to embed the clip, tried the other day with one, failed miserably!

    For RUSH fans only, I suppose. [url="http://youtube.com/watch?v=MxqIVtHPCgA"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=MxqIVtHPCgA[/url][/quote]
    Love it, brief to the point and you nailed it!! Cool clip mate!!

    [quote name='Weird War' post='246732' date='Jul 24 2008, 11:37 AM']Hello everyone

    I need to buy a padded soft gig bag for some forthcoming gigs, and am going to buy one in London on Saturday. (I would use eBay but need it asap.) Something like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DELUXE-BASS-GUITAR-GIG-BAG-25mm-Padded-Soft-Case_W0QQitemZ270258659153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270258659153&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318"]this[/url] with pockets for pedals etc. would be good.

    Can anyone recommend a shop in town?

    Thanks

    Hi Doug
    You can try this guy on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=150273781992&Category=20830&_trksid=p3907.m29"]EBay[/url] I've bought a GX/15B as has Mr Sibs a fellow BC'er from him, and they are superb bits of kit. I think this sums up how good they are!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXB9jpYhX1k"]Tribal Planet testing...very funny!![/url] If you're lucky you might pick up a bargain!!

    Is this a bargain??

    I've just managed to lay my hands on a what looks like brand new, never been used [url="http://uk.line6.com/basspodxtlive/index.html"]Line 6 BassPOD xt Live[/url] for £145 inc P&P. Everything inside is pristine even the display window still has it's protective sticker on it. so what do you think did I get a bit of a bargain here??

    Easily the most understandable, comprehensive lowdown of all the basses I've seen :)! Thank you soooo much! :huh:!

    I think if I was to buy secondhand it would have to be a Corvette FNA Jazzman, they look beautiful but I'll keep my eye out for any $$ neckthrough's as I know they're rather popular!

    One quick question to anyone: If you were in my position (with the current state of the economy etc) would you buy a new $$ for around £700 ish, or wait (possibly a long time) for something incredible (i.e, SSI or FNA Jazzman) to turn up secondhand for the same mooolah?

    Just a hypothetical quesssie :huh:!

    Hope youre all ok

    Thankyou all for your posts so far! Keep em coming!

    Looks like my search is going to go on a bit longer...

    I would say if you're in no hurry then I would hang fire and wait for a while, you never know what might crop up whether it be on here or Evilbay. I got my $$ and she is gorge. :huh:
