  1. Whoops! I didn't realise you were talking about: I thought you were talking about: This invalidates all my previous comments. (Why would Bose give them basically the same name simply to confuse me! ) I guess the title of the thread should've given it away really, stupid me.. Sorry!
  2. Well it's hardly just musicians that suffer. Anyone and everyone who sends something heavy/valuable/fragile will end up have something destroyed eventually.
  3. I think someone should ship themselves and a baseball bat somewhere. Then when they break thier leg they can jump out and 'deal' with the person in question.
  4. The start of 'trancing' is exactly like Feed The Fire by Hundred Reasons. Well, same two power chords anyway.
  5. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  6. [quote name='Muppet' post='8829' date='May 29 2007, 09:24 PM']Fair point Spiky and I know it was a lot (was less than £100 but I'm adding a bit on for inflation) but there was no way I was going to muck around inside the amp when I had no idea what was going on in there and[b] I now have a warranty from Panic for the conversion[/b]. Better safe than sorry for me when dealing with these sorts of things.[/quote] Well that's more than fair enough then!
  7. It is odd. But solid state power sections won't care what they see. As long as its not below what they can handle! Min 2 ohms for 3 ohms and min 4 for 6. Tube power sections only like having set impedances iirc.
  8. On bassworld you could only delete your previous post if nobody else had replied or posted after you. That was useful. Is it the same now?
  9. I'd class them as completely different types of headphones, I don't know about other people but I'd feel like a complete berk with full blown 'overthehead' headphones. I agree with the slightly weak bass of the shures, but that's mainly due to the completely different size of driver. The bose will have a much larger driver, and hence will be more bassy. The triports are twice the price of the Shure's as well. It would be interesting to find out how the E3c or E4c compares.
  10. My old singer has one. They are so goddamn fun to jam too! Especially as it has all the technodancecrap settings. Hilarious!
  11. [quote name='Nayz' post='8809' date='May 29 2007, 08:39 PM']Joe Morgan from old InMe was pretty good, no one really seems to know him.[/quote] Thats true. Mosaic had an awesome bassline. Took me a while to get that down properly.
  12. I rewired my B4r myself, it was a very easy job. Just a case of moving a few crimp connectors. I did have an ampeg technician to tell me which ones to move to where though. The point is that I didn't have to use another transformer, basically by me rewiring it in parallel instead of series (or vica versa) it took 240v instead of 110v. Don't have a clue about the Pro 6. But you never know. Step down transformers would need to be rated at more than the wattage of the amp itself, so with the amp in question you're talking at least 1100VA. And they aren't exactly cheap. It'll get very hot as well. Edit: Muppet it cost you £120! Jeesus, that's alot for labour. I changed the circuit breaker and a few fuses as advised, parts totaled around £8 or something. It was then a 5 minute job to swap the connections. I wouldn't do it if the amp had a warranty, but if you're importing the amp you're not going to have a warranty anyway.
  13. I really don't know how I get so lucky. I've [b]never[/b] been hit by import charges, and I've had a fair few valuble items from the states/hong kong/singapore etc. Odd.
  14. Don't post anything valuable by a courier, ever. I just am sick and tired of them breaking everything I send. And I pack like a beast, I have access to millions of miles of free bubblewrap and cardboard etc at work. They just like to break stuff. Either send it via a manwithavan or drive it yourself. Claiming for insurance is such a bloody hassle, most of the time they'll find a way out of it. They just aggravate me so goddamn much. I ALWAYS make the recipitent sign for the package, 'unchecked' but I've been through a few instances where they just haven't done so and i've lost a fairly hefty amount of money because of it. If you have to send a bass, make a small bass coffin out of wood and nail it up tight, full of bubble wrap and similar.
  15. What makes thier drivers so special that they can't handle tube heads?!
  16. [quote name='Ant' post='5110' date='May 23 2007, 02:10 PM']but it CAN do clean.[/quote] [b][/b] But you can't.
  17. With all your eq settings up to full, gotta love it. And I bet the bottom channel is your clean one, seeing as that drive is so damn low.
  18. Why were you shopping in the jungle?!
  19. Valve pre into solid state poweramp. Although there is only 1 valve in the Ashdown. Boo.
  20. Tuner, pre and poweramp. Simple. I used to have a compresser, but I found I only used it for the noise gate. It's a 6U rack and its bordering on being far too heavy. When I find some money I'm going for a 3U, tuner 1U pre and 1U power. Bliss.
  21. [quote name='R,5,R,5...' post='3645' date='May 21 2007, 02:54 PM']I wouldn't mind a cookie now, so I'd be inclined to accept it. Anyhow, I found that pressing Alt and F4 took care of my problem![/quote] I [i]so[/i] nearly fell for that..
  22. Withdrawing it is free over £50. And then you've got the option to buy anything you want, including all the shops that accept paypal..
  23. To validate if an auction is geniune or not on ebay all you need to do is ask if you can collect, if you can then what've you got to loose? It's not like you'll give your money away if there isn't a bass, and if there is then score! Christchurch and Dunedin are in NZ yes, which does make it a little suspect. But if he says you can collect from X (uk town/city) then all you're risking is a journey.
