  1. I was in the same boat as the OP over Christmas and started a thread asking all about the MM basses. I didnt have a clue as to what was what. I go a lot of really good and useful info. Here it is. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67679"]MM knowledge thread[/url]
  2. [quote name='Linus27' post='770565' date='Mar 10 2010, 04:00 PM']Toy might be here tomorrow I am half tempted to keep it locked away until my birthday[/quote] Now we all know thats not going to happen ;-) If i had the money i would certainly consider your SR4......but i dont lol.
  3. [quote name='Linus27' post='770545' date='Mar 10 2010, 03:51 PM']Exactly the same Dave.[/quote] So you find the model you want and then decide if you want it with 2 or 3 Band? Cheers. when's the new toy arriving? You really shouldn't even see it until the 9th June. Tell you wife she can store it at my house lol.
  4. When i got my 1212L i had a sort of low level rasping/distortion sound coming from the cab. It took me ages to track it down. It turned out it was a very small section of the dust cap that had come away from the cone. You couldn't see it without pressing down on the cone. Very annoying as it got worse over a few gigs. At first it was hardly noticeable but after a few gigs it was quite loud.
  5. Silly question but if i was looking for a 2 band ray are there specific models i could google for or do they do the same ones in 2 and 3 band? See, silly question.
  6. All this 2 band Ray nonsense has got me really gassing now. Damn you Michael.
  7. [quote name='cd_david' post='770102' date='Mar 10 2010, 09:43 AM']Have you got any pics of it? Cheers Dave[/quote] I dont have any decent pics of it at the moment but this is the thread about it. I can get some better shots done if it helps.

  8. [quote name='Linus27' post='769640' date='Mar 9 2010, 08:05 PM']HEHEHEHE with reference to whats in the PM, my birthdays not till June :)[/quote] June is when im of to Turkey with the family, and that s where all my money will have to go. Stupid holiday. Only got 7 gigs between now and the holiday (most in May) so going to be skint for a few months. I have had offers for my DD but its too early to make a decision. Hey, its also my birthday in june (7th). what day is yours?
  9. [quote name='Linus27' post='769624' date='Mar 9 2010, 07:47 PM']HEHE a PM explaing all will be on its way to you but if you are looking for a mint condition 3EQ Stingray in natural then I know one coming up for sale [/quote] Stop it . I would love your Ray but now isnt the right time. Cant wait for the PM.
  10. Never had a problem like this with my MB heads, even my Sub with bass right up has the input gain around 1 o'clock. Is there a trim pot in the bass that could be turned down?
  11. Ive got an active Sub 4. Is the circuit in that what your looking for?
  12. Sims custom shop did a great job on a scratch plate for my Lakland DJ5. Not cheap though. Very quick service but i had to send them my original one as well so it took a day or so longer.
  13. I keep my transmitter in my trousers back pocket so its not attached to the strap in any way.
  14. [quote name='MythSte' post='769228' date='Mar 9 2010, 01:49 PM']And making sure your drummer stays in time without the band![/quote] Cheers. Yes, we are only really expecting a budget type of recording, we dont have any special mic's etc. You had to go and spoil it didn't you. He cant even stay in time WITH the band lol. I think we will use some sort of click track but will also have the vocals and some basic guitar and bass going in to his headphones.
  15. My band, have decided we will be recording our next demo on the cheap. The plan is to go in to a rehearsal room, mic the kit up (we have some condensers and SM58's) and record it via our desk in to a my Edirol R-09HR digital recorder as a 24bit stereo wav file, already mixed down. Then using Sonar 8 we will add bass and guitars via plugins/guitar rig etc and then add vocals. The whole point of doing this is that other than the rehearsal room it wont cost us anything, so nothing lost if it doesn't work out. If we find we have to hire stuff in then we will just go in to a recording studio and do the whole thing there. We aren't in a great rush to do this so we can spend time getting the other bits right, once the drums are down. I know having the drums set in stone is not ideal but its the only way we can do it and im sure with some creative mixing it will sound ok. I know its not ideal and its not the way it "should" be done but i cant see why the end result shouldn't be usable.....But i bet someone can so lets hear it. Cheers.
  16. You will be fine and they wont let you down. What bass are you looking for?
  17. I would definitely say call them if you can. IME It can take a while for them to respond and ive always just got a new email with the reply, rather than a reply that also has the question in it. Ive found this to be slightly confusing.
  18. [quote name='bumnote' post='768607' date='Mar 8 2010, 10:22 PM']wireless is wonderfull[/quote] Yep, thats my solution as well. No more standing on my own cables, now i just get to stand on the singers guitar cable :-(
  19. Im really looking forward to going back to our regular social clubs with my GP and seeing how much difference it will make compared to me just using the foam.
  20. [quote name='green' post='768395' date='Mar 8 2010, 07:42 PM']well, i guess it's pure physics: if the g-string is just as close to the pickup as the e-string is, then the e-string would have a lot more output, because there is more metal vibrating over the pickup. so, the g-string may sound weak, because it is too far away from the pole piece. i don't think it has to do with the center of the pole piece. the g-string - being so thin - has the biggest amplitude, rigth ? so, it's necessary to pick it up somehow different sompared to the e-string for example.[/quote] Yeah, i get the physics part but my comment was really why its so bad on my SUB and not on my other basses. All my other basses have the E and G pole pieces level and none have lost the G string as much as my Sub. In fact my Duck Dunn has the same strings on and with the pup perfectly straight i have to almost back off the G string.
