[quote name='dc2009' post='1316410' date='Jul 25 2011, 10:19 PM']a ) Can I put a bass through it b ) £155 [/quote] a ) I don't think you can (though you could put your bass through a moog or a Korg MS-20. b ) £155 for a VST version. The original synth was @ £4k back in the early 80s, so you could maybe double that at least!

Sounds like either a Square or Pulse wave is what you're trying to produce. A Markbass Supersynth might get you close, Shep should be able to shed some light on that though.

That should do Human League synth basslines to a T.

Yes. Put the 2x10 vertically & use your ears. If it sounds unhealthy, turn it down.

Nice one. I'd love one of his basses One day maybe!

So in other words a 2x10 is better for directional on stage monitoring if horizontal & better for backline for the audience & the rest of the band to hear if vertical?

I haven't heard the TC rigs, but someone [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=144469&st=20&start=20"]here [/url] has just bought one. Maybe worth investigation. If it's the Terror Bass you're after, what about a Barefaced cab to go with it?

I'm gonna say avoid the standard 4,6 or 8x10 & get your drivers on the vertical. 2 2x10s or 2x12s or even 2 1x15s stacked vertically would give you a better dispersion (so all of your audience can hear how good it is & not just those standing directly in front of your rig) and give you an excellent sound, depending on what make of cab you go for of couse.

I'd say about the same. If you wasn't down the other end of the country I'd let you try my bass to see if they suited you (unless you want to pop up to Perth for a cuppa?).

You mean like this? [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/4486424782/"][/url]

Just weighed my Ibby (for the 1st time too) & it's 8.6lb. It's an Ash body.

I've got Tomastik Infeld Jazz 344s & the tension didn't seem any different from the DR Peacocks that I replaced (talk about going from zingy to mellow ). I haven't tried any other flatwounds.

Your guitarist could do what I do with my bass combo & put it on it's side.

I don't know how the new SRs compare, but my SR1000 started off being used for rock & now gets used for folk, country, jazz & electro (such as house, DnB & dubstep). The powercurve eq has a huge range of sounds.

The super 12 may well be what you need. I myself prefer to go for 8 ohm cabs so you can use more than 1 at a time (4ohm is only 3 db louder than 8 ohm of the same cab, which isn't anywhere as loud as having 2 of the 8 ohm cabs together).

I've not used the Shuttle, but if you're running out of headroom with a 600w amp I'd think it was a pretty big gig. That's when I would be using PA support. If you're running out of headroom & pushing the cabs to the max, then have you considered going for a pair of 2x12s (or 2x10s)?

I'd tell it you're gonna stomp on it!

A Gramma pad maybe? Depending on your amp, maybe a smaller amp would be wise for on top of a vertical tower.

I take it the guitar has a whammy & it's the reason it goes out of tune? Might need some adjustments to minimise that happening if it's the case. I broke a string mid song whilst playing guitar about a month ago (and also about 2 months ago) & finished the entire set with no G string Imprivisation is the way to go!

Ahh, I see. Thanks for that. But then, another thought, what about folk like Shep whom use a lot of fx & cover frequencies from way down to way up in a single note? Would this not cause a similar issue?

Why would it damage the tweeters? Would it be any different from DIing out a guitar head into a PA system (like is done at larger gigs)?

Look at the specs of your driver or cab & get one that matches. If you put a random 15" driver that needs a different dimension (eg: how many cubic litres your box is or what the port is) then you're not going to get the best from it & there's the possibility a good driver could sound guff in the wrong enclosure.

Most Boss type pedals are 9v -tip & draw anything between 10 & 100mA. Moog pedals are 9 to 15v +tip & most are @100-300 mA. I have a Godlyke Powerall with a daisychain for running my boss type pedals & a polarity switch cable to my Bass Murf, & I have a separate PSU for the moog LPF (it hates sharing power supplies).

I rest my thumb on the body or if I'm playing over the end of the neck, I sometimes rest my thumb on the edge of the neck (never noticed that until I tried just now to see where my thumb goes).
