[quote name='ashevans09' post='646713' date='Nov 5 2009, 09:29 PM']My main one has to be randomly coming across Jools Holland's TV show and seeing one of my acquaintances (I used to do some jazz/blues stuff with him and did a couple of musicals with him too) from my year at my school playing on it this week with his band Stornoway. Crazy stuff. Really random to see someone who you used to play music with doing so well. Happy for him though and it must have been incredible for him [/quote]

What a result... and what a line up - Jay Z, Foo Fighters, Sting, Norah Jones... the Stornoway guys looked a tad nervous and I can understand why!!

Liking the Max![/quote]

thanks Gareth - the grille was a bit of a risk and really pleased how it worked out

Getting great sound out of the Max at home and just need a bit of time to get that sound dialled in at volume (so many knobs )

My back is safe!

New lightweight rig (15kg total !!!) ShuttleMax 12.0 plus Barefaced Compact (pimped in 'salt & pepper' - "push it real good" )



Apols for the light moire effect on the photo - decided not to take up a whole page with the image

Is this the 8ohm or 4ohm version?

(an old gag, but suggest trying the "For sale: Other musically related stuff" section of the forum if it's a geetar)

have a bump on me I bought one of these recently and it sounds great. This is the cheapest way of getting great synth sounds

PM replied - thanks for the offer, but still available

[quote name='Dubs' post='643870' date='Nov 2 2009, 09:11 PM']If that TecAmp stuff didn't come up then I was due to PM you an offer towards the end of last week. This is great cab man and I was sure I was gonna have it off you.

Good luck with the sale [/quote]


Thanks Ben - timings' everything isn't it

Edit style-y bump - would consider possible trade for good quality electro-acoustic guitar

Weekend bump

Will probably keep this cab to pair with my new cab for gigs if it doesn't sell in next couple of weeks or so

Right I'm really serious this time - now reduced to £325

Come on people - seriously good cab, in fabulous condition, at an insane price - what's not to like

Need to move this cab on to make room for incoming GAS

Still currently available folks

Unfortunately the answer is 'no' unless you are only playing with a VERY restrained drummer. The bass cube 100 is great (I had one for a while) but just can't cut it volume-wise with a full drum-kit. With our drummer it had no chance

Une autre bumpette

Like it or not marriage is about compromise I'd try to find a way for it to work, by both giving a little (reduce number of gigs rather than stop altogether etc)

Ultimately the wife would win, particularly as we have such wonderful kids That said, in reality she'd be so busy watching "Location, Location, Location" or 'Britain's best left-handed chef" on Sky 12 that she wouldn't notice I was even gone to a gig

[quote name='Hamster' post='629966' date='Oct 18 2009, 11:57 PM']Markbass is nice, the LMII is a nice amp but I'd like to hear the LM800 tube, -
And then there's this..........

Anyone done an A/B yet?[/quote]

I tried a LM Tube at Andertons and couldn't see much difference between that and a LMII. Didn't sound very tubey to my ears. May be worth trying it out as it's just down the road. If you want another go on a Shuttle you're welcome to try my Max

Just bought a ShuttleMax 12.0 secondhand from USA. If that is anything to go by the Shuttle 9.0 should sound really sweet

I live locally to Andertons and have generally had really good experiences (tend to avoid Saturdays which are really busy)

when you get a chance to try out some gear they generally leave you to it rather than pester you, which I prefer. That way I was able to narrow down my lightweight amp decision (they stock TC and MB there) but the bass set up issue is unfortunately a bit hit and miss in most guitar shops these days

If you pick the right member of staff they can be really helpful, less so with the Saturday staff, and they also laid on free Logic 9 seminar recently which was amazing.

Sorry your experiences were not the same, but most importantly good luck with the op

Bump pour le weekend

From Pentode's link- that's freakin' awesome.[/quote]


They also do a similar eye version and...

WOW!

Pleasant chap who runs music shop in Reading

Sold me a Korg AX3000B at a good price and it was in good nick. Really pleased with it (esp. the synth sounds!)

Would recommend dealing with in future

Cheers

Nice guy, I bought a Moog pedal off him.

It was exactly as described (effectively new) and transaction proceeded without a hitch. Would recommend dealing with

Poor chap had just been in hospital, so get well soon mate

Cheers

Based near Guildford - you're welcome to try it out

Also travel to Reading fairly regularly and occasionally to Cambridge / Felixstowe / Southampton

Other option could be a synth-friendly multi-effect unit. I've just bought a Korg AX3000B secondhand which does some great synth sounds for not much cash (not infinite sustain but some great synth sounds ) or if you have a bit more cash check out the Line6 M9 thread under the effects section (Tayste gets some nice synth tones on the 'Synth 2' MP3 posted here)

Worth hearing stuff before buying (not that I did ) as the sound in your head can be difficult to translate to words

Some interest but still available
