  1. [quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1457284345' post='2997031'] I wear substantial ear plugs so don't get the actual sound anyway as we're far too loud for me [/quote] From another Essex chap no less ! This is a copy of us. Its our Les Paul wielding maniac that cant seem to turn down. I wear ear plugs mostly because of him, but i've had problems from the cymbals before now making my right ear go fuzz fuzz, as i stand right next to the tubbist So , between the LP maniac and the Tubbist - i'm between a rock and a hard place We did manage a sound check at last nights gig, but we dont always get one
  2. So, the police didnt even come round to check the pick axe for finger prints .. why not ? Budget cuts ? A few years back i had my van broken into - not much to take, but they got away with some tools and other replaceables. Called the feds but they weren't interested. They said it had been raining so there's no point. It wasn't raining inside my van says me. Fell on deaf ears
  3. I'm in the market for one of these too, but most of what i've found here have a female one and 2 males on the other. I need male to two males
  4. This is the TGI http://www.guitar.co.uk/tgi-tgipb1-power-box-micro-power-supply?gclid=CKzv-bDmrMsCFQUq0wodjgwJ8g
  5. This is the Nordell http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nordell-Isolated-Output-Supply-Effects/dp/B00Q8V2IH8
  6. [quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1457291280' post='2997087'] TRex Chamelon runs 5 x 300mA 9V switchable to 12V [/quote] Must admit , not heard of that one - going for a search I have looked at the TGI , Nordell , Soundlab and Innogear
  7. [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1457289787' post='2997080'] How about getting a splitter cable and sharing the 500mA output between the Soundblox and BSW? If your figures are correct, combined they'll only draw between 200mA and 420mA. [/quote] Now why didnt i think of that ? This why its best to ask
  8. Just about every power brick type supply i've searched for seems to limit the multi 9v outputs to 100ma I must admit though that i'm not looking at the Rolls Royce prices of CIOKS and VOODOO LABS. Most reasonably priced bricks do include , or seem to, one 500ma 9v, with the rest being 100ma ( not really concerned too much about 12v or 18v that some bricks include, although the 18v may come in handy at a later date ) My problem is that i run a Soundblox pro BEF , which is 120ma, so yes i could use the one 500ma 9v output, but then i also run a BSW which apparently needs variable ma between 80 and 300ma. Kinda leaves me in a predicament. I also run a Line 6 Liqua Flange for chorus only, and Korg Pitch Black, but i hate the Line 6 so that will be exchanged for a different chorus at some point Is there nothing out there for my set up ?
  9. I know you're sorted now, but re. the AKAI's.. If you want to sample, it will have to be the MPX16. The MPX8 only plays back samples stored via SD card Also, the MPX8 is a right bar steward....finicky about formats ( 16 bit WAV only and stereo WAVS halve the memory ), getting samples to load can be a pain, lots of load time if samples are big MB's Maybe the MPX16 is a similar nightmare, only with the ability to sample being the difference Best avoided
  10. CTS and Alpha seem to be the ones most people go for / have heard of, but you could try Bourns pots. They seem to be great quality. As always, YMMV
  11. Ouch - playing and singing. Luckily i only have to cope with backing vox, praise the force. Even then, some stuff i cannot do, depending on the bass line i'm twiddling at the time. Gotta respect the ability to do both simultaneously And..i never knew the Mac played a Wal. I must have been living in a cave.
  12. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1456934315' post='2993743'] I wasn't worrying. And I found it funny. As did a few others. so, you know, lighten up... [/quote] IMO i think the Mac is a fine basser. He's not in yer face, true, but he's written some sweet bass lines. Paperback Writer is a killer. Wonder if that was on the Hofner ?
  13. What a lovely bass Shame about the tiresome same old slap sh*te.
  14. Yup the toned down colour helps a tad ... still too much for me though. One man's goat baguette is another man's arsenic bap
  15. Fo sho I loved Straker and his crew. I just dont like those cabs - Italian flair has gone a bit too far. Bit marmite maybe. Some will love, some will hate. Thats the joy though !!

  17. I bet some here had a Peavey Firebass at some point in the life. I did, jeez what a lump
  18. Too much like something from the old Sci Fi series UFO. Then again, im old No reason that they shouldn't sound good though, unless that thing about too much alloy is a factor, but i cant see them standing up to gigging, loading, unloading, cosmetic wise
  19. MK ..funny as hell Roland Rivron ...wtf happened to him ?
  20. Cheers Graham - already re-strung the ESP, and am enjoying !

    BassBus Feedback

    Bought a mint condition bass from Graham - great communications, no fuss, a great price and the best packing for a bass i've ever seen The man is a gent and & a scholar, and all round good egg. Great to deal with 11/10
  22. If you like stacks of chorus on a fretless, use stacks of chorus. Dont worry about what others say. Its their personal taste and has no relevance to what anyone else likes, unless you have to follow everyone else's taste If you dont like chorus on fretless, dont use chorus. Dont worry about what others... etc etc see above Simple
  23. Do not use rip offs like Paypal for sending currency other than UK stirling Use these people https://transferwise.com/ When i bought my Carvin head from Germany, ( it wasn't Thomann ) neither my bank or Paypal were acceptable on pricing. Both wanted around £30 + for the privelege of changing the £ to Euros. The German website wanted Euros, obviously Transferwise charged me around £2.50 and it was a pretty faultless exchange. The German website was a little apprehensive, but they agreed. After all, if they dont get their money, they dont send the goods, so there's no problem for them
