  1. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1397837812' post='2427840'] Don't forget that our perception of hearing over the whole frequency spectrum is greatly affected by the volume level. The famous (or notorious..?) 'Loudness' button on hifi amps would boost the lows and highs, so that, at low listening levels, the lack of physiological response of our ears would be compensated. To be removed if one listened at a louder volume; did everyone do that..? I think not. In short, when playing louder, you'll need to reduce the frequency extremes. To set up a 'sound', you'll need to be in 'band' conditions, not alone at home or in the practice room. Hope this helps. [/quote] ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Head Nail On Hit
  2. [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1398721250' post='2437034'] They still are the entry level recommended driver, but the plans are specific in that regard, and note better options. Plus the horn loaded Jack gets quite a bit more out of them than a direct radiating cab will. [/quote] Yup, I peruse the BFM forums too, sporadically, and am aware of your advice re such matters, whether here or there. Perhaps with some luck ( or maybe ' miracle ' would be the right word ) I could find someone selling off 2 Jack 210 cabs without drivers
  3. Good point I thought Emi Beta 10a's were quite popular though, so didnt envisage a problem shifting them on. I actually have 4 of them If i remember correctly, they were one of the BFM choices for Omni 10.5's , of which i've owned 2 of, and a Jack 210 which i owned. I sold the the pair of Omni 10.5's in favour of the Jack 210 bought on here, with the thought that I'd easily find another Jack 210 to partner it, but after a long wait, i never did find another, and didnt like my 15" Peavey partnering the single Jack 210, so got rid of both
  4. JP Stevie Bill - thanks for your input, much appreciated Presumably then, if were to leave the cab specs as they are, I simply cannot mount better X Max drivers, due to cab limitations, or can i mount better drivers if i changed the port dimensions ? I suspect that if i go for better drivers, i'd need better cabs to put them in, which is the worse case scenario for me, financially
  5. Since WinISD is over my head, being a dullard, I need some cab guru advice on cab improvements ( if any - maybe not ) I have a 2x10 with 2 Eminence BETA 10a's , well known here I suspect, but just in case, they're 250 watt 8 ohm, with the pair wired as a 4 ohm cab. Internal cab measurments are 560mm / 22" tall - 360mm / 14" width - 395mm / 15.5" deep Rear firing port is 95mm / 3.75" long and 95mm / 3.75" throat ( parallel , not tapered and no flare ) I'm wondering if another port would improve anything, since i cannot change the cab size. Or am i already getting the best out of it ? Thanks in advance TSP / Specs of the BETA 10a [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/214yxdu.jpg[/IMG]
  6. [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1397163108' post='2421454'] What great mystery is this? The body is from a Vintage V4 "Reissue". The neck is from the Internet (I don't remember the retailer). The most noteworthy bit of this bass is the wee switch below the pickups. It activates a hidden Wilkinson J pickup buried in the body under the 24th fret position. I think the switch brings it in parallel with the main pickup. I bolstered the pickup with extra magnets to try and extend the range of the pickup up to the strings. Dig; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IcTOnIfmOY I''m planning to repeat the exercise with a Warman Dominator pickup on a new project bass. [/quote] Whats the thinking behind sticking a 6 string leccy guitar pup in a bass ?
  7. Yup, but now its £48 and free postage

    Nux Pedals

    My Modcore eventually turned up. Brilliant and only £22
  9. Really? OK ! Never noticed, so thanks for the correction
  10. Oh yeah, it takes a normal 9v boss supply too, and does stereo if you like that sort of thing
  11. I suggest a NUX mod core - excellent pedal. Mine ( eventually 20 days later ) arrived from wherever they are ( China ? ) £22 free postage. Its also a phaser, chorus, trem, pan, rotary, U-vibe, vibrato. Ok, i dont use all those, ( Just flange and phase ) but when you consider just a flanger will cost maybe £25 ( 2nd hand ) and upwards, makes sense to get this and have the extra even if you dont use 'em Very versatile. Metal alround, not flimsy plastic, smooth knobs (ooer matron ) http://www.donnerdeal.com/nux-mod-core-guitar-effect-pedal-blue.html
  12. Only just bought this and suddenly our band collapses - never had the chance to take it out and gig it. All original packaging, box, etc, as its less than a week old. Runs on Boss type 9v, or battery if you wish £48 + £4 PP signed for
  13. I've found someone through a friend - taking it to him on Monday, but basically, no sound from right channel analogue out. I also have a second one that does not power up. Most people say its Behringer - chuck it in the bin and start again Probably wise words
  14.

  15. Cheers ! Slightly dubious about the £30 non returnable fee, though i guess he has to do this
  16. Does anyone know of any ex spurts that fix lectronix in the Oxfordshire area ? Need a troubleshooter for a Behringer Bass V-Amp pro , the 2u rack jobbie. Affiliates seems to be wall to wall luthiers and very little in the way of leccy gurus, at least in my neck of the woods Posting the preamp makes the cost of fixing prohibitive, so local is what i'm after
  17. AS far as i rememeber, gift used to mean NO charges either way, which is why its a great option for selling stuff here, but it seems to be missing in my PP account Oh well ...
  18. Justa thought wud .. is the Ebay ' gift ' payment still an option ? I could no longer see that in my PP. When i sent some money to a pal recently, they either wanted to charge me or him, those were the options. I wonder if it was because my PP account was empty, and they had to take it straight from my debit card, which is listed in my PP account. I dont see the problem though I would double check the gift thing mate, just in case

    Nux Pedals

    BC thread .. Although it started with Mooer pedals, Marcmart/Donnerdeal are in the thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189959-tiny-mooer-effects-discount-code/page__hl__mooer%20sweeper

    Nux Pedals

    http://www.donnerdeal.com/ Marcmart also trading as Donnerdeal sell them ( there are other threads on BC about Marcmart ) I think one or two members never received their pedals. I ordered a Mod Core on 29th Dec and nothing. After 12 days, I registered on the Donnerdeal/Marcmart webby ( reg uses your email ) and clicked ' My Order ' and it said i hadnt made any orders, though my Paypal account tells me otherwise. Imminent chargeback , but i'm wating for one more week, as Paypal gives you 45 days in all to do a refund
