  1. Yeh, I replaced mine and it has been fine but mostly I am using the MS-1s these days, I keep them with me though. I got a bit spoiled after joining another group that had a spare P-16, and now mono IEMs seem a lot harder work.
  2. Mine too - In fact I picked it up from its previous owner, a very interesting chap who had been in a beat type group in the 60s and was shifting stuff out, He had a very impressive Vox value bass stack from the 60s that was probably worth quite a bit now, that he bought new from the factory that he had no interest in buying. And quite a few interesting stories.
  3. So can't they turn the noise gate down?
  4. Its all just electronics as soon as you put a pickup there. If you want to know how much is your bass, lean the bass against a big box, then you will hear what it sounds like! That was how the original dolby stuff worked, boost the treble so that the treble loss wouldn't be as bad.
  5. that was 400W per channel. But what rating is this for the 2kw class D?
  6. Certainly interested on the narrowest nut that people are happy to go for
  7. Its tempting to me too, but I already have the Lekato (and the XVive) so I don't need to. But I do like the multiples on a charger thing.
  8. Another easy way to look at it is to look at your diagrams above where you have the two tones. In the first one, the wires that go from the centre position of the pots are joined at the jack socket. Effectively that is one piece of wire, which means you could show it as one wire joined at the pots, that goes to the jack with two switches connected to it. The second one is better for isolation, but again, if both volumes are fully up it is the same as the outside and centre being connected, which means as both centres are connected, both pickups are connected, so both switches are connected, and effectively inline. This is unavoidable with a passive circuit.
  9. Nothing. If you turn both volumes up the tones will do the same thing. However, on the LP, the way you would use it is by switching between the front and back and at that point the position of the tone control would matter on that pickup. Not only that, on an LP the volumes also can kill each other - turn the volume of one pickup to zero, and then put the switch to both pickups, you won't get any sound. But the easy way to show, if you have an LP, try it. Turn one tone full down and one up, switch betwen them, you will see one is muffled, one isn't, switch to both and it will be muffled.
  10. Unfortunately due to the nature of passive electronics (and this is on all things - this is ultimately why fender got rid of the dual tones on the jazz), if you put them before the volume then the tone will work independently all the time the volume of one side or the other isn't full up. However, when the volume is all the way up, both tones are effectively wired together, and there isn't much you can do about it, without introducing active electronics.
  11. Is there no upgrade? If it needs rosetta it must be a pretty old plugin?
  12. Because it isn't tracking at all, it is putting a wah on the signal then doing a sort of bitcrush distortion thing to make the 'synth like' effect. The easiest way to track a signal is to not try!
  13. My comment would be why you have two tone switches? You would have no tone cut with both off, the same tone cut if you have either of the switches on and double the cut if you put both on? If that is the effect you might as well have a centre off switch and do it all on one switch, rather than have the two redundant one on / one off modes?
  14. If rickenbacker was a coffee shop. Apart from the quality thing
  15. That is exactly how I read it, and was imagining a coffee shop with everyone with the red flower pot hats. It was better in my mind than the pictures Roast it, roast it good!
  16. Could go for an SR5 neck, on the basis that I could just find a body to attach it to easily.
  17. No, because you have just added a load of additional latency.
  18. Spare is handy - At the last gig my transmitter was dead (left it switched on in the bag). Plugged it after the second song when I realised, left it charging for a few songs, then used it, lasted the first half then plugged it in at the break!
  19. Just to add a data point, I have a BAM200, TC450, Ashdown Evo VI 600 and Bugera V1000, and I use the BAM200 almost exclusively for gigs and practices now, along with a Gnome 10" speaker.
  20. Its the 'Content I started' here
  21. Activity -> Content I started. Seems pretty easy?
  22. Yes, its a district of Liverpool.
