For what I do, does the job. The mixing quality also depends on your hearing and how you perceive what you hear , it will reflect the final outcome. I thought Ozone does a good job for mastering. I think it's used by some BC. I rely on my hearing

I personally think it sucks life out of fun. When I record my own song , I'd like it to sound certain way depends what mood I am in. I don't think it will match human's emotions and art of mixing.I sometimes use master match, but it is still not close enough.

Live After Death vinyl, first press..arrived today. I had a bit of a misfortune last week. I bought a first press Live After Death LP in a good condition, unfortunately Royal Mail postie decided to lob it over the fence that resulted both LPs ( those who don't know it's a double live LP) being damaged. Luckily I managed to get my hands on another first press LP in excellent condition, a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Has anyone noticed any improvements in Amplitube 5? I still haven't upgraded to 5 from 4 as I'm concerned loosing presets.

Song title ; `Born to Bleed'- lyrics don`t make sense as usual. Trash metal song this time. Guitars, bass, vocals recorded in Ableton Live, Amplitude for guitars, bass, choir is a plug in. Drums , curtesy of Ez Drums etc etc.

Picked up a bass at 16, played in bands, gigged, recorded a pro demo at 17, then on/off in various bands. At 26 gave it a last chance then that was it until 10 plus years later. I have more gear now when I played in bands. All in all, born in the wrong place at the wrong time did not help.

Funny thing this GAS business. There was an amp for sale on BC this week, I'm glad I was told it's on hold as the following day realised I didn't needed it but wanted it. It's now gone, I think, but still looking for something else, I don't know why....

I went to see Maiden at O2 with my young child (single digit age). I booked tickets on release day and had a nice seat facing the stage right by the exit for an easy access/escape with my child, just in case. When Maiden started, the bloke who was also with his kids stood up and blocked my view. I didn't hesitate and politely asked him to either move slightly to left or sit down explaining he was blockin my view. He didn't like my request but he did move. I understand it's a facking metal gig, but have some respect for others. Then the phones, constantly in the air. Last year I went to see Anthrax at Brixton Academy and Joey encouraged people on balcony to stand up , everyone did , organisers did not like it ..no standing signs.. People are the reason I no longer go to cinema. Back to the topic, surely they can't control the phone use, some.might need phones for family emergency etc. But having it in air constantly... I agree, ban it.

Would be Live After Death until the tape stretches.

I have three, two came with a bass. But I can't tell the difference between the classic p bass or high mass bridge when playing.I play strings not the bridge. It's like comparing a tone on a vintage Olympic white Vs lacquer finished mustard colour bass.

Paul who?

Isn't Birmingham famous where famous musicians came from? Black Sabbath for example. And the list goes on..

I have left the wires just hanging with ends taped with electrical tape. That explains the high pitch 1/2 second sound when I switch on the amp. Will remove the wires. Thanks for heads up.

Interesting old thread. I've tried two sets of Steve Harris signature flats, and they are like suspension bridge cables. They sound nice when new, bright to my likings but at a steep price. I've tried Fender flats which have been great. Now purchased rotos flats not as thick a gauge like SH signature, so will give them a go. But Dunlop flats sound worth a try too.

I bought one of these last year here on BC HOTONE THUNDER BASS 5W MINI AMP. It has bass, MIDs, Highs, gain and volume, input to connect phone to play along, and headphones jack. I assembled a 2x12 cabinet, 125 watt each speaker connected and it's more than enough at home playing. I reckon it would even be adequate for a band practice.

@How1 your post inspired me, I placed a new add looking for musicians to play with. I'll give it another go.

Unfortunately it wouldn't work for me, I grew up on metal and although I don't mind listening to other music genre when they are being played by others than me, I couldn't play e.g. pop. I even turned down a band playing originals based on early Sabath days. Also, being up late is not my cup of tea anymore.

I too picked up a bass after 15 years of absence from playing. Since then I picked up few more basses, guitars and a drum kit and have few years on top of you. Finding reliable band mates or any band is not straight forward. I have joint a couple of bands but they split up before we even rehearsed. Or they want me to play music I don't even like or listen to. I am happy to just play to myself, as loud as I want, with the style I want, have the tone I like and pull whatever face I want when I play not having to rely on others to turn up for rehearsal or a guitar playing fiddling with a pedal board for 20 minutes to dial in the tune every single rehearsal.

The tweeter makes a hissing noise,.but seemedmtomproduce some sound . When I disconnected there was definitely an absence of sound coming out the tweeter hole. I don't need it tbh , so can I leave the PCB connected but the two cables just hinging there with isolated ends. Or would removing a PCB be a better option?

I connected the lot and bass cab works fine. Unsure if I can hear the tweeter, no matter how close I listen to. I'll rest my ears and try again tomorrow.

It appears that on the reverse side of the PCB the black is linked to green wire meaning , should be (-) minus..

So that should be 8 ohm in parralel for two 16 ohm drivers. I think I may need to remove PCB to find out the polarity as it may be concealed on the other side. Also the tweeter does not seem to have the polarity marked , unless the connectors on the tweeter marked as 8 means red +; and the black means black i.e. -

I bought a speakon to 1/4 jack in Amazon so I can test the cab once I have install the speakers..the inputs are Neutrik on the cab so probably will be better t get Neutrik cable. Please see updated post with pics.

Hello, I acquired an empty TC electronic K-212 bass cab . It has two speakon inputs. I'd like.tonconnect it to an amp with a jack output. I have found lots of speakon to jack cables online but TC electronic website doesn't specify which speakon I need, two pin , four pin? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Update : I installed two Eminence 16 ohm 12 inch bass speakers, and would like to use this cab with Thunder bass nano legacy head with speaker output 4-16 ohm. There's also a tweeter in the cab and harness ready to hook up the speakers, see photo. How do I hook this up? I watched you tube videos, but would prefer advice from BC.thanks. the harness pic attached. I presume the green and yellow are for the tweeter and black and red for speakers parralel or series configuration. The tweeter has no 8 on one connector.
