I get the feeling that the thing that 'folk' don't like about Compressors is that in conversations like these it can be seen as 'you use one so you must have a problem with your technique'. My mate Andy used to see all sorts of internet nonsense over his playing because he uses a hair band as a string mute on his guitar. People losing their sh*t over it. Which is odd considering he's had several albums out, toured all over the world and is one of the best online tutors out in Guitar world.. lol Anyway, I digress. It's ok to say "I use one but my technique sucks anyway", but it's not cool for someone else to tell you (or make you feel) that your technique sucks.. The innocent compressor divides people unnecessarily. Maybe a bit like those conversations about those who think that real bass players don't use a plectrum... or Jaco only needed.. oh gawd...

Exciting!

Congratulations!!!!

I don't have personal experience using 'lower end' monitors for FRFR say in conjunction with the Helix (and bass), but in general, unless you are playing at a volume that isn't pushing them at all, I'd steer clear for handling the transients of bass guitar. (Unless you are enjoying the sound of a brickwall limiter and an HPF set at 100hz possibly!)

YAY!

Yup, that has indeed happened. Thank you for the tag chap! @Sonic_Grooveyou'll have to wait for my full review I'm afraid, but I can hint that I think it is very well made and the features on board through our studio set up demonstrated that they are worthy of my thumbs up. Works great in to an amp, power amp or PA!

I've had the utter pleasure of playing Doug's actual Spector and yes, it definitely does have a Jazz neck profile (as do the signature models yup) and OMG what an instrument!

I also meant to say that you can leave LT in the case. or there's a ply pedal board that lifts out. I've fixed my LT and pedals to the ply using the bicycle chain method and the whole thing stays in the case all the time. I lift the lid off and I am ready to go!

Oh, you could buy the 'large' case instead that I think is still ok for LT.

I wanted to fit a few extra pedals and stuff in so I bought one of these: http://www.spider-engineering.co.uk/industry/product.asp?item=spider-guitar-effects-pedal-board-flight-case-extra-large-7628-4748 It's heavy but bloody brilliant!

6. Don't use Speakers at a volume that you can hear them on stage lol

Adam then found out that Eve had been secretly chatting to James and Jaco on WhatsApp(le)..

Eve then piped up... "Jaco only needed..."

The Harma valves are very good. It’s no secret they are rebadged valves, but in order to get the Harma name they are seriously tested so only the best of the bunch get selected. I’d always used STR’s but I do want to give the Retro models a spin for their Mullard tones. Great stuff!

Poor ole Jaco. He's one artist that I am so sick of reading the same b*ll*cks spouted over and over about his playing, especially when used to criticise someone else's musical journey, (which I hate people doing anyway aside from Jaco) that I really can't stomach listening to it, yet you can't not appreciate that he was a great musician.

Bo problem at all! That's why I made the video. If you need any help, drop me a line

Thank you! My favourite combinations were the 4x10 on the 1x15 together - they complemented each other and delivered lots of 'weight' to the sound. I also liked the 2x10 on the 2x12 though may have opted for a pair of 2x12's. Lavoce speakers on board seem to be good, same brand in the Laney SL cabinets which are great too.

I’ll reply later but i think the K212 is a brilliant cab for the money. You’ll find one of my videos where you can hear the whole range together.

One of my bands is releasing an album in February. I can hardly wait!
