Well - I'm more after an EBS multicomp to finish off a baby pedal board - but I've had a look at this little comp too! - I know how good the comp is on the RH450 - and I also have a TC C300 compressor rack here too (for sale anyway) so, maybe this will fit the bill as well. Hell, I might buy both, see what works and then let the other go! COME ON TC! ) heh heh Yes, I wonder what price the combos will hit the market at too.

Wow! I am really happy to see TC embracing the Bass market at last! There's some great products released. I REALLY hope that they maintain those high build standards.. I won't cringe to see them using cheap hardware and substandard electronics. I think it might put me off them - much like I have with a good few other companies who are having to make cut backs - but in the wrong areas of business I think! I know these have been out for a while - But I'm tempted to try one on bass! [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/novadynamics.asp"]http://www.tcelectronic.com/novadynamics.asp[/url]

I must have been around the same age as well! - I had to know it all! - and then there was the Wembley 1986 version!

[quote name='Waterboarder' post='781095' date='Mar 20 2010, 07:46 PM']Hi, I have one of these, had it yonks; www.drtube.com/schematics/marshall/5522-pic.jpg I dont seem to be able to find much info about online, apart from here; www.marshallforum.com/workbench/455-bringing-. Its in reasonable nick, sounds ok, just wondered what it might be worth (it has a kinda 'vintage' look to it after all)...? Cheers to annyone who can shed any light...[/quote] Ahh! Wonderful! I had the head on it's own in a rack! It's a great amp which sounds fantastic DI'd too. All solidstate with a 200W MOSFTET power amp. I think I got my head around 1991-92 and it was about £380 IIRC from my local shop. So I guess the Combo would have to be in the £500 region at the time? As far as I know, they are reliable and certainly could keep up with good volume.

[quote name='BassBod' post='780918' date='Mar 20 2010, 04:51 PM']Brandoni/eko. I think they're called "camak" or something similar[/quote] Yes! That's it! lol - I knew it was a name beginning with C! lol - Carnac? Carmac?

[quote name='paul h' post='780915' date='Mar 20 2010, 04:47 PM']Eko unless I am mistaken. I had one of these many years ago which I bought from Brandoni. I was never 100% sure of the manufacturer but I am sure someone will be here soon to help! [/quote] Yes, indeed! I remember seeing these at Brandoni many years ago! I was gonna buy one. They didn't give the bass manufacturer - but it defintely had a name, beginning with C - but I can't remember what it was!

I've heard about the Lexicons with issues before and M-Audio firewire devices being a PITA if they aren't plugged in to a Texas Instruments chipset. - Also issues with the USB devices in that we had to get get the USB drivers from a Vista OS to use on an XP PC! Nightmare! The latest problems to hamper USB interface users is Windows 7. Poor ole Line 6 are having a bit of a nightmare with their USB interfaces. I think Boss has the odd problem too - but I understand they have W7 drivers out now. All I would say, is do your homework first! Speaking of M-Audio though - I reckon any rack mountable interface will be a good idea as you'll be able to bolt the things in safely to a secure desk mount so they cant be bashed about.

Keith! Google is your friend!

Good luck!

[quote name='JPJ' post='776390' date='Mar 16 2010, 04:14 PM']Thanks for that, I'd read somewhere that BK had stopped manufacture, hence why I was looking for alternatives.[/quote] They'd stop manufacture of the D-Class 600W modules - but I think they still have stocks of the 'Analogue' units - unless that has changed - Best give 'em a bell, they were always really helpful for me. Try [url="http://www.hypex.nl/"]http://www.hypex.nl/[/url] and ...well I was going to say ColdAmp - but their website is down. But this page seems to load [url="https://www.coldamp.com/store/"]https://www.coldamp.com/store/[/url]

*** I have merged two feedback threads in to one***

Give your ODB-3 a new lease of life by putting an EQ pedal after it, to shape and tame some of that drive. Try cutting the treble and boosting mids and lows for a thicker distortion.

and Guitar Pro is full of glitches - like the odd memory violation in the middle of trying to save! *crash!!!* - It is one of the better notation programs for guitar and bass though!

Should do the trick just nicely! Let us know how you get on!

WOW! Does this look familiar??? [url="http://www.surefunk.com/sureforum/bass-players/17824-isp-technologies-bass-vector-pro-active.html"]http://www.surefunk.com/sureforum/bass-pla...pro-active.html[/url]

I remember someone telling me that they write and collaborate with their band with a product that exists already - but for the life of me can't remember what it is. As it happens, It's something I have been meaning to look in to it myself for my band - given the 5400miles between me and my drummer!!! IIRC I *think* the person I spoke to said they have played a gig together using the software in 'Second Life' - but that might be me making it up in my mind!! Poor old grey cells they're not what they.... shall I put the kettle on? oooh.. I'll put the kettle on... (tenuous link to Lee Evans sketch)

Having sold my F1 recently - I can't help having a little niggling feeling over MB's new cabinets released in to the range.. a new 8x10 I see.. I reckon an F1 on the top of that would look hilarious - but I know it would sound like a beast!

oh - and I understand, way back when Townsend and Ox both used the same backline cabinets for guitar and bass?

[quote name='joegarcia' post='769654' date='Mar 9 2010, 08:17 PM']Absolutely fine then. Why should it blow amps up? That's absolute rubbish as long as you're not trying to push loads of low end from it which you've already said you're not.[/quote] Totally agree. Guitar amps in the majority of cases actually have some form of low end filtering in the preamp section, inherent or by design to enable a tight focussed distortion sound. I have many schematics that support this in my collection too! If the lowend is boosted enough, then yes, puny guitar speakers can't handle it - but many bass players for years have been adding guitar combos to 'big rigs; to their bass stacks to add that all important dirt and bite to their sound. I don't have the luxury of having a nice valve guitar amp to play with, so I currently use a Line 6 X3 to model a driven guitar amp sound to mix with a big fat bass tone. Sounds great in the mix!

I've said it before, I shall say it again! Get the TC Electronic C300 - It has been designed so that even those who have no idea how to use a compressor can plug in and get perfect results. Featuring a rotary control for source specific programming. Multiband, Fullband, Parallel compression and fully configurable noisegates all in one box - I can't think of another compressor that has so many features and sounds so good for the price.
