    I guess that depends on your definition of preamps. it certainly has preamp models, in distortion, but that is what a lot of people want in preamps, I think it covers everything you would want in a preamp, tone shaping, stereo balancing, mixing, gain changing, overdrive, IRs (it has those). I doesn't have amplifier models but then niether do most standalone pre-amps.
  2. Woodinblack
    That would be an interesting signature model. Most are fairly pointless.

    For reference, this was originally with a TC450 and 2xRH112 cabs, all brand new from the shop. I have now changed to an ashdown ABM600, the behaviour is the same.

    The HX FX also models two of the other preamps

    That is one of my 'directional' cables. 4 pole / 2 wire. They have a piece of tape at one end saying which end goes to the amp. They only work one way round. I think I am just going to buy a load of 4 wire cable and rewire them as its one less thing to worry about.

    Well, updated my beringer CT100 tester for a CT200, which now has speakons on it! Seems like a couple of 4 way plugs with 2 wires.

    Put some of those markbass coated strings on the EHB last week, the nickels (I have stainless too, but the ehb doesn't need to be brighter!). That was a 130 bottom string I think, with no issues - they are the ones I couldn't fit to the shuker as it was too wide at the bottom

    Some people have a lot of time to spend coming into a thread of someone else having a problem they don't care about just to say they don't care about the problem 10x2

    What you could describe as quite a long way north of "about £500"

    I have seen a cable melt open, but as you say it is less common (and is normally to do with overheating in the plug). However, from Leos point of view, it makes sense. His options were really Jack or RCA, and the Jack already has the short on not plugged in thing happening. Plus his amps at the start were 6W and 15W, and cables were probably heavier back then so probably no problem. If only guitar amps had stayed at those sensible levels!

    No, the list price said no tax. Oh well, never mind, I should have checked now, will check next time on these things

    Not sure how people can think that 2 bf210s would be considered small. I mean, yes, it has probably a few square inches of less floor, but as someone that plays in small pubs, I would never have the space for that. the 2 RH112s with an amp on come up to waist heigh and if necessary fits under the cymbals by the drum kit.

    Because he is special to you. to him, he is just him and his bass is just his bass, so it may be less siginficant. Neither of us know what it means to him, he might be sick to death of it and be happy with the new ones and happy with how much money it would get. Some people aren't really hung up on objects and some people are..

    Guess you got lucky then. For anyone else out there, this is the costs. £238 when paid with paypal (with fees and exchange) and £58.68 for taxes and UPS fees
  15. Woodinblack
    I can't either but to him it is probably just a bass he used because that is what he had. Think how many basses you have gone through. Sometimes you just get a bass that is better than the others and you lose interest in the others. To everyone else who is a fan it is an important iconic instrument.
  16. Woodinblack
    Why not? To a lot of people its the bass that made all those records and is worth a fortune, to him, its just some bass he used a lot that is worth a fortune!

    I have two Neutrik speakon connectors (for why I got them, I can't remember), and about 4 speakon - speakon leads, and one Speakon to Jack lead (the ashdown CTM has jack socket outputs). Oddly enough, I have never made a speakon lead. Probably because before the TC cabs, all my cabs were jack.
  18. Woodinblack
    Plus £58 taxes to UPS, so closer to 300 (as it is nearer £240 with exchange rates.
  19. Woodinblack
    he wasn't proposing that I don't think, he is saying one amp with a 4 ohm and one amp with the 8 ohm, and one bass feeding both
  20. Woodinblack
    it is but he is using an external. well, you wouldn't notice it playing up when you didn't care! different networking I guess. if you quit the XAir when it is searching and try again does it work? On my iPad (which does the lyrics, mixer and synths), if the mixer doesn't show in 10 second I quit the app and start again.
  21. Woodinblack
    What is the external router - that seems more of the issue. Presumably the external router is connected to the socket via ethernet and the x18 is set to external, and the router is providing DHCP and the router is using something other than WEP security? (correct if any of that is wrong - this is how mine connects). So when you are at home, are you connecting to it still through the external router (I ask as I tend to use the internal one at home)? It sounds very much like your X18 isn't connecting properly to the router, or isn't getting an address (the search is actually poor on X-air) from the router. Ultimately if you are connecting the same way at home and live, the only thing that could be difference could be interference.

    Ooh - one of the musicman types?

    We did a gig in an outdoor area a couple of years ago, about the time we were going from using the old PA which was passive speakers and a 4 channel amp, and my mixer and the active speakers. Because of the location around a corner the singer decided to put a speaker round the corner to get to the crowd there. Because they had already used the speaker cables so using a monitor as an extension I just managed to catch him just about to use my 1990 whirlwind cable as a speaker cable!
  24. Woodinblack
    But not keen on an open output, who is to say how it would melt.
  25. Woodinblack
    Absolutely not - I have seen it (and done it) at many times over the last 40 years. Easier with a bass it must be said, an old vox ac30 flat out is pushing 2 amps, whereas a 400w bass cab flat out is 7A. Signal cable isn't rated for anything like that. Obviously it will do it for a length of time (and nothing is ever totally flat out) but it will be pushing out a lot of heat. The longer your cable is the more it is going to heat, the more likely it is to go. It really isn't (and there is nothing new to this). Its one of those things you can get away with often for a while, but like in the victorian days when they wired their houses without insulation and from the light socket, eventually you are going to burn the house down
