It's a switch. Does look like a pot shaft in the pic tho. I'm toying with putting different knobs on it as the standard ibby knobs are hard to see where they're set to (I might even get a toggle that looks like a toggle too ).

Quality stuff. If you get a vocalist, please don't go for one that sings like a thrasher but rather maybe someone with a more soul or blues style of character (nothing wrong with a bit of thrash, but it would make your stuff sound like another thrash band, albeit a very good one). Drummer? One with an electronic kit? I saw a band called Ratatat a few years back in the states & they used a drum machine & put on an excellent show.

I'm keeping an eye on this thread as I'm considering starting a covers band just for doing parties & events. Probably a 3 or 4 piece (if it's a 4 it won't be 2 guitarists, more likely a saxophonist or violinist) & the songs will be done in a different style from the originals (I don't like doing songs how they was recorded). Here's what I've got so far... Billie Jean One Sweet child o mine Crazy (Gnarles Barkley) Staying alive Masterblaster Feeling good Army of me Disturbia Still looking for others.

A large bucket behind a full stack would be ideal, that way you can play & slay.

Are you taking the Pee?

I never knew who did the original of this (until now). Here's the version I know (from their 1st album).

Oi! Clarky, NO!!!! YOU shaln't be giving me GAS! Ok, maybe some then.

Cheers. I used a couple of coats of beeswax to seal it. Rubbed it in, left it to dry for a bit & then rubbed it down with just a clean cloth & then did the same again. I may give it another in a few weeks if needed.

Finally finished! [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xgsjx/5840432981/"][/url] Some of my fave angles on it...

Here's a GK Neo 212 for £250. Might just be your ticket? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=136103"]Linky.[/url]

Check the B&C website & get the driver specs (would have a black cone tho) & then find out what makes are similar.

I know the secret, now don't take offence but have you thought about buying her some flowers? [b]Daffodils[/b]

My Mrs doesn't even like me picking my bass up, let alone playing it! I get to play guitar tho

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1269708' date='Jun 15 2011, 09:51 AM']I bought a shed online last week. Since then, the only Ads I've seen have been for online shed retailers.[/quote] I would have thought all the ads you'd see would be for drummers! I bought a couple of mics online about a month ago & most of the ads I see are for microphones.com.

Is your gear insured if you leave it unattended in your car?

But isn't a solution for the tiny stage mentioned (unless he kicks someone off the stage) & I don't understand why the OP would use a 4x10 when he has a 2x12. I'd flog the 2x10 & the 4x10 & get a 2nd 212, thus giving him the same sound as the audience hears.

It's a good idea & one I've toyed with taking up myself, but in this current climate I didn't want to take the chance. Still want to build a Tuba to add to my combo when funds allow.

Just had a quick look at ebay & the 1st thing to pop up was this... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-guitar-wood-effect-/130531463231?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e6448103f#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-guitar-wood-eff...f#ht_500wt_1156[/url] Made me laugh.

I'm agreeing with Chris here, you're changing things blindly without checking what you need. A GK head is a different sounding head from your SWR, so what sounds good through your monitor could sound pants out front. My advice would be try the EQ first. If you've got a little money then get a stand to put your cab on (there's a thread about that somewhere) or if you have a spare £500 then get another Neo 212 & put it on top of your current one. This way you'll hear what the audience hears (only a bit louder ).

It has a switch that says "FLANGE"! I want one too. Now..... The scary price? £400 maybe?

[quote name='Machines' post='1267318' date='Jun 13 2011, 02:28 PM']Clearly . I will claim confusion with Ken Taylor (Sandberg), but not Ken Barlow.[/quote] & here's me thinking you meant KT Tunstall!

I'm not familiar with the songs you're aiming for, but for newbies to fx I always suggest a multi fx box. The Boss ME-50b that Monckyman mentions is a very good start & can be used at any level of profession.

I think there's one already in the "amps for sale" bit for £650 ono.
