the venue i had been thinking of for plymouth isnt free so im ok with having exeter as the venue. just dnt know it so would have to hand the reigns to someone who whos places it could be held. andy

now able to listen to the whole ep for free on Spotify! https://play.spotify.com/artist/12Vu8I2RyluveNn60clyaD

done a bit more set up work on this to bring the action down a bit! bleedy stonking bass! played it for the first time thru my 810/ctm100 combo! Epic! gonna be using to basses at gigs i think! to good to not play! andy

i had the everything standard for a good 8 months, in my metal band with new D'addario pro steels, and it cut thru really nicely, nice grind etc. didnt need to change really but just fancied getting a set of nordstrand pickups to throw in it, and it just made the out put and bit hotter (not masses tho) and made everything a bit better sounding all round. still have stock controls tho only the pups have changed. andy

looks like they learnt from the Ob1k being to big, in both watts and size for whats needed. https://www.orangeamps.com/products/bass-guitar-amp-heads/ob1-series/ A 500w and 300W versions, looks awesome the original sounded sick could be a a nice amp, im also guessing similar price to the bass terror. andy

blimey some of those fuzzes sound wicked! andy

nice bass dude! andy

[quote name='ctiza1' timestamp='1421625853' post='2663485'] Thanks for the advice all, so whats the solution? how do i match up amps and speakers? when the cab blew I wasnt playing that loud? Is it possible that playing in drop D could cause this? [/quote] doubt it, but maybe if you are pushing alot of lows, of there are large spikes in the sound, i know first hand its hard to pick out a cab struggling thru dirt or fuzz, i have a hpf (high pass filter) thats doesnt let anything below 40hz go to my amp.

think the last one went well, whos up for another? maybe in plymouth or exeter? theres a venue in plymouth that might let us use it in the day big room good sound. get a nice bunch of guys/gals together as much gear as we can and see what happens? Andy

[quote name='ctiza1' timestamp='1421620295' post='2663437'] When the last one went my eq was pretty much flat (bass slightly boosted), we down tune 1/2 a step normally and i have a drop D tuner which I was using at the time but still not as low as a B on a 5 string. I must admit I do normaly drive the cabs well but not to the state where theyre being over driven [/quote] nothing out of the blue there then, i drive my ashdown pretty hard fuzz, octaves and chorus all at once at some points and we tune down a whole step and drop c, are you using a tweeter? andy

Are you pushing alot of lows into the cabs? as even tho your below the rated wattage you could still be pushing the cab hard? andy

not the best audio quality will do a better more in depth one soon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CsIDf2V6mY andy

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1421547070' post='2662670'] Only whales can hear it. [/quote] im actually a bit surprised how well it comes over, yes its low and in a band mix its just gonna be a rumble, but sounds pretty decent thru my 212/ctm-15 home rig. have made a short video using my ipad to give an idea will try in following weeks to do a better demo with a mic on my 810 mixed with a di. will post a link when the video is live on my youtube. andy

i see your keeping this now, good choice, i had to sell mine due to money and not gigging in an old band, was a beast well worth grabbing a lighter cab and putting up with the weight. andy

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1421538051' post='2662595'] Checked out your videos, Andy, enjoyed the pedalboard run-through! Have you considered Darkglass gear? Listening to your distortion and gated-esque fuzz tones, the B3K/B7K and Duality could be right up your street! [/quote] been thinking about grabbing a b7k for a while, also glad you liked the videos andy

Gonna try and get some clips in a video soon!

[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1421530417' post='2662454'] What gauges are those? [/quote] 175, 135, 105, 85, 65(I think) and 45

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1421524031' post='2662322'] That's a monstrous E string! [/quote] Well it is an octave below a standard E

not sure if this is in the right place!? but starting to try and push regular content for my channel and am wondering what you guys would like and what i can improve on, so please would be really cool if you could check out my channel and let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2nph-mPlvZFfBPyj1ADc3Q thanks for your time Andy

cant speak highly enough of my Nordstand pickups that i have in my vm squier, nice growl and response and a really simple thing to fit! andy

really happy with planet waves kit that i have, you can get straight or angle plugs i think and the ends are really good quality! andy

Yeh sorry was late last night posting, it's eadgcf

So i finally got around to doing this! some will hate, but wanted something a bit dif! and this def is that! crazy sub, sounds cool now to try it out thru my gig rig!
