i would say it could be the cab, but as has been sad 12 o clock isnt flat, ive found sticking a eq pedal infront or in the effects loop gives these amps alot more eq options i have a rack eq works really well. andy

used this in the studio today! holy crap! such a brutal distortion getting the mastered tracks tomoz afternoon so will be able hopefully to post a link up for people to hear. andy

we've got a cupboard in our rehearsal space so i store my stuff in there bar my basses as it gets cold so dnt want the neck moving. i am happy to leave it there, have left my cab in the studio space aswell but we know the engineer and he would never use it. andy

it'll probs be an ashdown overdrive pedal combined with a valve head, although i think he also uses the rack sansamp. andy

ive recorded a few sections as demos using garageband, got a very nice bass sound, i think i used the orange amp sim with a comp sounded very nice andy

New pedalboard at long last, my old boss thing lost its lid about 2 years ago so its nice to be able to close this one, only missing the cog effects custom

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1392934610' post='2374555'] it won't be the same as turning everything up to 10 as it will effect the pickup loading too (i.e. the pots still have an effect fully open) I can't think of the name at the moment but you'll want a switch that switches it across at both the input and output(jack) points. the next question you'll ask is about the second switch for having the pups in series or parallel.... [/quote] oh no nothing fancy like that lol, im actually seeing a tech tomoz so i think i might ask him if he has any ideas

have a squier vm 5 string bass, love it but looking to change a bit of the electrics to make my life a tad easier. does anyone know how i could wire this in, basically looking to add a small switch that will disable the volume pots and just put the pickups straight to the output so basically the same as turning everything up to 10. andy

my squier vm string is awesome however have upgraded the input to a better quality one and when he was doing it noticed the pots although they work fine are pretty cheap Chinese pots, so is there any bonuses to changing the pots? could i maybe put in a larger or smaller value tone pot for a bigger sweep? also have thought that at the same time i may put in a switch to put everything on 10 straight to the output as flicking a switch is easier than changing turning three knobs on my jazz. andy

for me its strange seeing how other people play the songs, i wrote a few songs in a punk band and the new bassist plays them totally different so the songs sounded a bit weird at first andy

oh yes! recorded lovely kickdrum mic in no di sounded beasty, getting mixed at the minute but sounded really nice. andy

beasty mate!

[quote name='Ant_On_Bass' timestamp='1392570112' post='2370149'] i've actually got a set of Ernie ball custom gauge 5 string 135, 105, 85, 70, 50 from when i owned my 5 string corvette, do u reckon i could get away with using them? 135 will feel mahooosive and i'm not 100% sure it will fit in the bass nut! i don't really want to file it down, i may have to invest in another bass if it doesnt fit :-P [/quote] it seems big but you do get used to it very quick, is the nut on your bass removeable? you could always get on made up for the drop b tuning andy

ive done drop c with 105, i now use the top 4 strings from a 5 string set as on my 4 string bass i tune it to a standard and its fine, 130 on the a string maybe look at something like that? its a bit of a set up from 105. andy

ive had the markbass lm2 and swr headlite, both awesome can grab the lm2's for silly money these days andy

not the same cab but ive gone from a ported orange 410 to my mag 810, like chris said noticeable mid bump with the 810 so you will need to adjust your eq to suit. local practice space has the 410s they are nice cabs i never used the horn as i dnt like them tbh, is their a sealed 410 out there? ive only ever seen ported. andy

well just back from practice, very impressed, nice loud and punchy! was trying out a few new pedals in my chain, and sounded lovely, well worth the money spent on it. totally forgot to take some pics but will be in the studio on tues so will probs post a few photos and one of the tracks. andy

boss tu-3 or 2 bomb proof pedals! very accurate and bright led display, however the guitarist in my band just got a mooer tuner which is a polytune copy but is fast and very accurate as well. andy

its got undo redo, dnt think you can go back to the first loop tho, got mine today plan on having a play next week as im busy all weekend. andy

will post a link to some of our recordings next week with the mesa being a big sound in them andy

[quote name='E sharp' timestamp='1391724127' post='2360724'] I bought loads of plugs and cables , made then all up , just as it showed on the net , spent ages doing it , and nothing worked . Spent ages of time , when really I dont have much . I reckon I sunk well over 100 pounds on cables I couldn't get to work . One of my mates had the same thing - pedalboard dead , which cable ? I now have limited time , what with work , and I cant afford to mess about with stuff that may or may not work . Ive switched too Hosa cables , and i couldn't be happier . [/quote] i think for this reason id always check the cables with a multimeter. also is it just me or are the diago plugs basically george l's? andy

[quote name='Johnnyc' timestamp='1392220265' post='2366107'] I think I'll keep my '69er at 27Kg thanks [/quote] was interested in a barefaced but monies and the waiting time prevented me pulling the trigger, first practice tomoz then some recording the following monday eve andy

just grabbed one of the ditto x2 should be with me tomorrow hopefully, it was cheaper than the boss rc-3 and worth the little extra over the ditto i felt due to being able to store and export loops aswell as import mp3's to play over. will make jamming at home much more fun andy

my guess is this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wahFVhkTb-k beast of a pedal, also love that band awesome! andy
