    [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1465301122' post='3066893'] I'd avoid 1U, it's so much harder (i.e. more expensive or worse performance) to package an amp in such a shallow casing. 2U gives much more internal space (not just twice as much!) [/quote] Ahh! ha ha - which is what I meant though said more eloquently!

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1465300537' post='3066886'] Powersoft is where it's at... although you will be paying a pretty penny for it. [/quote] The Powersoft is indeed a beast. I have used and owned one and they are pretty exceptional. The only downside I can see of *very good* 1u racks is that they tend to be very deep physically. Mine only just fitted in a deep gator rack, but some are longer. You will also find that 2u power amplifiers that are more than capable will be a bit cheaper vs the 1u form factor. I'm currently using a QSC shallow 2u power amplifier which I've been pleased with when I need stereo or big watts. - I'm comparing like for like here, not the cheaper 'unknown brand' 1u units that suggest 1 million watts output from a standard wall socket lol.

    Sold and on the way to a nice chap called Pete!

    Sounds good Andy! As soon as I get a chance to leave the house ha ha!!! Oh and this is a seriously good price for a cabinet that retails for well over £1000!
  5. Dood
    Ahhhhh! Andy! Yes indeed a very fine machine! - Please don't let me play with that beast again! Lovely cabinet and 6x12 is quite a air shifting to behold! Buy with confidence, Andy is a top top guy! - Oh I also wanted to add, that this cabinet really doesn't feel like 35Kg - Surely it must be lighter? Dan p.s. - I must nab a pic or two as I don't think I ever photographed this cabinet when I had it!

    Nyargh! I've just dented the underside of the body by accident. A small dent less than a 5 pence piece. Will get some photos done when I have some natural light. EDIT - here it is:

    Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!! I was expecting BC to do the usual auto-resize but it didn't happen! Maybe because this one sounds larger than life!

    In the interests of clarity, it had been rewired - In fact, it was a system I set up that is essentially what Sheldon used to put in to his D-Bird prototype! You'll be pleased to hear that the bass has been returned to stock with the original switch having been replaced back in to the bass. Also, the nut had been set up for an F# tuning, but a new nut has been put in so the bass is back at standard tuning. Everything else is as you'd expect - Glockenklang preamp, the wonderful P Tone pickup in the neck position and the standard FD3 pickups in the other. Because the bass has been changed and returned to stock, I totally understand that this should also affect the value - and for that reason, I have set the price accordingly.

    I'm not totally sure I want to do this, but I do have three other compressor pedals. Maybe it's time to stop buying shiny things so often! Ungigged and only used in my home studio set up, it's as new and ready to go. £80 delivered to your doorstep inland, or need to add a bit of overseas shipping. [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/pedal/studio-bass-compressor"]http://www.seymourdu...bass-compressor[/url] This is one of my top favourite compressor pedals for good reason - and why I am sitting on the fence with selling. Grab it whilst I am going through with it!!
  12. Dood
    MS50G still available, £50 including inland shipping.

    Bought this very cool pedal recently, a few months ago actually. But having moved to a slightly different pedal board arrangement, I already have plenty of EQ options, so - ungigged, no marks, not needed! http://wmdevices.com/products/utility-parametric-eq I can send a picture if you really need, but it's pretty much, ya know - the same! Original box and delivered to your England doorstep for £80 - may need to add a bit more for the rest of the world!

    I was about to share the link of my own JD build in the Build Diaries forum, but I seem to have somehow lost all the important images. I may have deleted them If I can I'll find some pictures I'll edit the post and upload.

    [quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1464803354' post='3062762'] I have had a lot of active and passive basses and never had an active one quieter than the passive ones ...is this unusual ? [/quote] Actually no! - The Tobias electronics are a bit on the quiet side on the Toby versions. I also recall having some active pickups in a bass that were certainly quieter than Dimarzio passive pickups too. The way I remedied this and may be helpful for the OP was to install an EMG PA-2 in the quiet bass. It's actually a gain booster switch, but all I did was install it inside the cavity permanently engaged - then by A/B'ing between my two basses I set the PA-2 so that both matched levels. The other bass had a full EMG system in, so it naturally had the higher output. Job done. On that note, the level problem switching between basses is also the reason that my main pairs of instruments have the same pickups in.

    [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1464777021' post='3062361'] Hi Dan Acoustically it's fine, which leads me to the option of a electronics change.. As I'm a "get the source right" sort of person, I'd likely change the pups first, probably to some split coil nordstrands, and then the preamp... It's not urgent so maybe I'll keep an eye out for some bart soapbar size pickups on here... [/quote] Those Nord' Big Singles are pretty tasty, I reckon they'd be a nice option too, or as I've suggested, the Aguilar pickups are superb too.

    I've reviewed the A6 and I really liked it. I can't remember off the top of my head we were plugged in to though. Could have been a TH500 and Bergy CN212 at the time. It felt familiar to me as I'm used to and have played Tobias, Conklin and now Shuker basses that I think have a similar neck profile. I can't comment on the 5 string as I've not had the pleasure of playing one yet but I've always liked the look of the A series. Even this one! As for recommendations - well, I have to say that every time I've had a bass with Bartolini pickups in, I've taken them out. Strangely, every time I've installed something with bar magnets like EMG DC pickups, or the rather superb Aguilar DCBs in EMG width. Aggie also do Bart size shells too, so maybe give them a go? The East circuit is always going to get a thumbs up, especially the SP(?) version with the adjustable frequency centres. Upgrade or move on? Well, play the bass for a good week or so unplugged. Decide if it feels good to play and sounds good acoustically. Hopefully that will help you decide. Oh! Stick different strings on too! I've just transformed my P bass by not using one type of string over another. It seems to have taken on a new life!!! Shame you aren't closer as it's a bass I'd like to try myself at some point. Dan

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1464718111' post='3061834'] OK - only one column is producing treble to mimic that of a PA line array - but going from the mics, the sandman couldn't careless about that! [/quote] The left hand drivers are the full range ones and the right hand ones have the top end roll off.

    What's shocking is that these regional rates have pretty much stayed the same even since I first started playing. Even 'Minimum Wage' has managed to increase in comparison lol..

    Unicorn Bass Cabs

    Dood replied to Owen's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Some people say they really do exist - and there's definitely a spike in the top end

    The bass guitar, even just the guitar, or drums.. well, any instrument consumes me! That's not even a poetic exaggeration either. There have been times in my life for one reason or another that I've not been in a band and for quite long periods; I don't think a day has gone by when I haven't done at least something music related. It really is who I am and what I do. I sit and study, research and love everything about the instrument. Play, Jam, create, focus on, whatever you want to call it. Being able to connect with other musicians and share our passion is what drives me and when I am not allowed to do that, I have discovered I end up in a dark place. So whether I am playing in a band, doing session or dep work, teaching or working for the biggest digital magazine in the world I'm a happy chappy. I feel very lucky to be able to do this for a living and I fear for the day I won't be able to do any. I don't need to be gigging all the time, but I won't stop playing without yet I'll be excited with the prospect of playing again!

    The way I have managed to get round fizzy top end when it's gear I can't mess with, is to use a speaker emulator type pedal on the distortion side of things. I bought a Fender Micro DI (which is just a rebadged Mooer pedal for less money) and found that it has been useful for such a job. It doesn't do any clever IR function sor anything like that, basically it's just a steep EQ in a DI pedal that can be engaged to simulate a 4x12 guitar cabinet. Works quite well with bass too and have found that the roll off means heavy distortion sounds a bit more like you'd hope. Of course, there are way more expensive units out there that do all manner of amplifier / cabinet simulations to a much better degree, but it's a little box I keep in my toolkit just in case!

    I've recently taken advantage of 64 Audio's upgrade offer and have ordered a new set of ADEL A8 models as I have been so pleased with the V8. I'll be back with a review of those too!
