i used to use a markbass lm2 with one of the 210av cabs was a really nice loud little punchy rig! andy

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1388950291' post='2328055'] Easy to transport I`d look at a Barefaced cab, then amp-wise, well Markbass, TC Electronic, Genz Benz Shuttle, EBS, all of these are worth checking out. [/quote] the problem with the barefaced is he'd have to go second hand, as waiting for a new new cab will take months ( not a hater just being honest ) if you want easy to move and not going for sound as im guessing you'll be running the sansamp into it maybe try and grab a small mb combo? andy

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1388951536' post='2328086'] Not many shops to choose from round these parts unfortunately. Any thoughts on Ampeg? [/quote] a band i played with bassist had a pf350 sounded......well like an ampeg he did say it wasnt the loudest but from having a svt pro 6 i know ampeg sometimes inflate there wattage rating. honestly would consider going secondhand as you could grab a bargain [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/224382-gallien-krueger-2001rb/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/224382-gallien-krueger-2001rb/[/url] andy

[/quote] this is totally the reason i went out and got a terror bass, saw a pink band and fell in love! i cant recommend the terrors enough, would be a 500w version for you budget but that will be loud as hell! also the gk mb heads are really nice. andy

there are a few others which a much cheaper than the darkglass stuff, check out the mesa flux drive. andy

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1388886318' post='2327403'] I am quite interested in this, though thought it would be cheaper, it's only £15-20 less than the regular hall of fame... BUT i only have space for a nano pedal on my board, so right now, tempted!! [/quote] i must admit i did aswell but if you r a set and forget kinda guy with the verb i suppose theres no need for having the knobs. andy

[quote name='Thor' timestamp='1388843522' post='2326721'] Probably another stupid question from me! Should I use the effects loop or is it okay to stick the effects straight into the input jack (as I normally would)? I shall be using Octaver, Chorus, Fuzz & Overdrive - not all at the same time though! [/quote] i stuck all my effects in front of the amp, tbh only really delays and verbs i might stick in the loop now. however you can always try there no wrong or right depends if you want some of it to avoid the preamp, but my guess is you'll want the fuzz and drive to be in front of the pre, and the octave you like most im guessing have that first in your effects so tbh probs just keep it inline and go into the input. andy

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1388834946' post='2326537'] I agree, reverb on bass has a fairly specific and 'difficult-to-get-right' use in a generic band setting. Worth spending as little as possible first (or at least buying second hand) in order to see if its what you want. For a nice and solid, toneful set of reverbs, the Marshall Reflector is excellent, and can be found and decent prices. I prefer slightly weirder reverbs, so my one of choice at the moment is a Mr Black Eterna, which is essentially a shimmer reverb. Si [/quote] me to been gasing for a eventide space for years!

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1388863721' post='2327124'] I've ordered a Behringer FBQ2015. Should be in my hands on tuesday, not a bad price either. Thanks everyone. [/quote] did you mean 1502? i keep coming up with idea of what i could do with the second channel andy

[quote name='spacey' timestamp='1388864654' post='2327145'] Those Orange Terror things baffle me, they are just a box with knobs sticking out. absolute no protection for the controls or anything, a full flight case must be a requirmenent and I bet you have to be carefull putting it in that. [/quote] i actually think there pretty hard wearing the bag you get is padded and ive never had a prob, however i am going to get a flightcase soon as my band is try ing to go on tour so it'll be easier to through in the back of the van. andy

could i maybe put a strange suggestion out there, why not use a good quality capo? to bring the bass up a tone? easy and quick and no second bass needed just tune the bass to d and pop a capo on the right fret andy

i actually thought it would be cool to get a the bass vi, but my tuning is alot lower and was unsure how the it would hold up. i would atleast get it, you could love it, i would atleast give it a try. andy

[quote name='njr911' timestamp='1388762720' post='2325762'] I use the little blue xmas trees and have been for a couple of years. I'm totally used to them now and can't play / go to gigs without them. Will the ACS 15 improve the sound I hear over my current protection ? [/quote] massively! after about 5 mins i forget the acs plugs are in the sound is that clear nothing muddy like some ear plugs andy

really aria! 3999! thats kinda the extreme of hes dead lets bump up the price! i love cliff but not that much! andy

ive got the acs ear protection aswell, really comfy i use the 15's in a loud metal band so im sure you be fine. i think the filters are pretty cheap so you could always grab a set of the 17's and if you think it might be louder stick those in, for me its the fact they they dnt mess up the sound! normal ear plugs for me anyway get a muffled sound, and also dnt go in my ears the same way each time these do so i just get a quieter version of what actually happening andy

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1388694197' post='2325027'] I think Aria already do a Cliff Burton type bass but it is not a signature bass or am I wrong? or a Burton Ricky would be kinda cool [/quote] i think the aria is a sig, but the rick sig with the guitar pickup thing would be sweet!!!! only thing is hes known for the aria. i dnt really get the sig fenders, as they are all pretty much stock, but based around a certain year, and with some money added! i know there all nice but i do struggle to see the point on occasion

will see what i can find when i get paid, thanks andy

the dunlops seem to be a perfect gauge for this tuning nice bit of give but not at all floppy on the low A, did however need to increase the size of the string hole in the bridge on the low string. all in all very happy didnt even need to adjust anything on the bass, must admit i do love the modulus for that! andy

i normally run post so the sound man gets my sound to work with andy

glad to help

the mooer shimverbs not a bad little reverb for the money, should be able to get you close to the tone in the vid andy

just been checking out a few of the sennheiser e609 and e602 on there site and a few youtube vids, both sounding really nice just got a question about there sensitivity the 609 being more aimed at guitar only goes down to 40hz while the the 602 being more of a typical bass and kick mic goes down to 20hz both go up to the same high ranges near enough, so what im wondering is as i tune to A standard ( A-D-G-C) am i better of getting 602? suppose i could just use the di to get the lows and mix in the 609 for the high? andy

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1388411399' post='2321665'] Mmm me too Should get on very well then. Enjoy!! [/quote] sweet! looks like ill hopefully be getting a 5er in the new year might even play around and grab a dtuner because A isnt low enough!
