  1. Considering all your plusses and minus (and having not tried or even really looked at either), everything in your plus of the GT100 is something that can be added to the GT1000 (extra buttons, footpedal etc), wheras mostly none of the GT1000 can be added to GT100. I would get the GT1000, and then if I wanted the buttons / footpedel etc I could add that externally pretty easily. It is a pain to have external stuff, but it seems better value at almost the same price
  2. Thats the other mansons, as mentioned that isn't affected.
  3. Lemon rock is pretty up to date around here (obviously the site looks dated), you would need to put in a lot of effort to get something similar
  4. I think it would be hard to find things in a forum layout, and with old venues dying off and new turning up, or new ownership of old venues and changes in parking etc, I can't see it being that much help. I suppose in areas where a lot of you live it might be useful to some though
  5. Always sad when a shop closes but it has to be said that whie it was a great guitar shop it wasn't exactly that useful as a bass shop.
  6. I gigged purely a B3 for the longest time, and had no problems with it. I upgraded to a B3n, but I have actually never used it live - i haven't got round to getting on with the UI, I also have a B1Four which I put on my pedal board last week as I had a problem with power for my helix, but at the last gig the helix was working fine so it didn't get used.
  7. Funny what you say about sound changing in venues. The drummer (who uses my P2) always just has his vocals in his ears and just I guess uses the bleed through the headphones for bass and guitar etc (I don't know, but I figure someone gets whatever they ask for in their ears), but on saturday he asked for bass and guitar in his ears too. never needed that before. However, it coincides with getting the best out front sound we have had. It could be that I put a noise gate on his microphone, which he also commented that it sounded great as he wasn't getting the drums in his ears either (and thus also the PA).
  8. I don't generally play any non active basses and they work fine.
  9. Was looking forward to this one for a while - We got a new guitarist just before christmas and we have been rehearsing with him all of january to see if we could get enough songs for a gig. Well, he has done very well so we thought we could do it. The venue was a place we have never been that just contacted us through facebook, in a town we have never played. Walking in it could go either way, its a social club like many others, can be grim, can be friendly. Setup in a corner and got going (earlier start than usual). The new guitarist did fantastically, the sound which I had been fiddling around with was perfect, and the crowd responded to every song. In the end, we got to the 'we have run out of songs' with 2 in the pocket to go, they begged us to do 4 more songs, including 2 we had already done, for extra money, so basically ended up doing Mustang Sally and Park life for £40 extra All the drinks were free and snacks afterwards. Great night.
  10. Didn't check, but he asked for the account to be closed.
  11. Why would a source control system want to oil anything?
  12. Is that light bit a chip or a reflection?
  13. Indeed - that is why there is only one correct size of shoes. Everyone else is wrong.
  14. Always wanted one of those, or their new moonlander, but very expensive esp with import taxes etc, so never managed to get one!
  15. I guess it depends what you have - I think I might find it a bit restrictive over the X18!
  16. On the front page of BassFreaks it says right at the top "We Ship anywhere on the planet. We are not collecting import duties. You are responsible for them when your shipment enters your country. You are ordering from Europe." So that is pretty clear
  17. Yes, mono aux out, connect pins 2 (of an XLR plug) to R & T of stereo socket / plug and pin 1 of XLR to S of said socket. If you can't find anything like that send me your address and what plug and I will just send you one to stop you buying mixers!
  18. I don't know when they stopped making them but judging by the packaging, I am guessing it must have been some time in the 80s!
  19. Most (ie, almost all) aux outputs are mono - its odd for them to be anything else, as by standard they go on to 'some other device' be a speaker or an IEM. If you want stereo you have to use two aux outputs, that way you can decide what goes in the left and right ears (otherwise would be quite confusing to set up). This is regardless of what the plug is - for instance on the XR18 the aux is XLR (common) and on the X18 it is TRS (less common) - either way it is low impedance balanced, so a differential signal on two outputs and a sheild on the third (ie, diff between T & R on a trs, 2 & 3 on an XLR). If you want something to connect to a stereo TRS cable, for instance to drive a stereo input somewhere (while bearing in mind aux outputs are line level signals, not designed to drive headphones), you need to take the difference signal and throw the ground away, so if you want a TRS aux output to a TRS stereo cable, you need to put the T & R of the stereo cable to the T of the aux cable, and the S of the stereo cable to the R of the aux cable, and don't connect the S of the aux cable to anything. as you say, the XVives will be fine as they are designed to go from a XLR aux cable, so they just plug in.
  20. Not many, no. But overall still quite a few. Our drummer sings, but only a few songs. If you are saying 'here is a good singer and drummer' then yes, for the music she is doing she does it really well, no problems. But that wasn't the statement, the statement was that she was shockingly good, and no, there is nothing there that I haven't heard. If the statement is are you a better drummer and singer, then no on both counts, I play bass and sing (I don't frontman, but then I didn't see her do that either), I don't play drums at all. If singing better than me is shocking, the world must be a very scary place!
  21. Most of marketplace doesn't
  22. You sure about that?
  23. Kind of what I thought, I didn't actually see anything 'special' there - she can do the job, but nothing shocking. I figured that maybe people liked girl drummers. Our drummer breaks the sticks all the time, which isn't so great when you have to get the PA louder than him!
