    [quote name='ialma' timestamp='1358380732' post='1938411'] can this be strung with standard bass strings ?? [/quote] No........ but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JzF-5k0pog

    I bought this whole rig here recently, hoping it would replace my current rig as it is more modular and lighter. Sadly it does not. There is a slight hum but that dissapears when you actually start playing. There is a very slight hint of edge when you really dig in. 800 watts into both cabs. Nice modular but loud rig £600 + carriage. Firm. Not looking for any trades I'm afraid.

    [s]I bought this here ages ago. LOVED the neck, LOVED the light weight. I am not Mr MM pickup. I took the original out and put a custom Bart in because it would cure my MM allergies. It did not. It is a better pickup no doubt, but still MMesque. I had another MM pickup lying around (SD MM drop in replacement). Obv, putting that in would make it better cos more is more, right Yngwie? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHZ48AE3TOI[/media] Wrong! So there I was with a bass that acoustically totally does it for me, but I cannot get the sound I want. Obv it needs a pre-amp. I put an Audere in it. Wow, it roared. Then I realised that I needed and East MM in there, so flogged the Audere and put an East in. Wrong. Flogged the East and bought a new Audere. Now it roars again, but try as I might I cannot love it and don't think I ever will. I now have WAY too many basses and need to shift some. I have the original pickup - truth be told the Bart is nice but does not actually fill the gap particularly well - so I will chuck that in as well. In the pics I will upload asap you will see that it is not a pristine as new model, but it is quite the player. I am struggling to work out what to ask really. The hardware is worth quite a pretty penny, I would be happy enough to take that off and flog it and keep the neck and body and waste more money trying to get it "just so". So if anyone wants bits from it then give me a shout and I can see what happens. Bass as is (without the Dtuner on the B ) £400 What was I thinking? £300 Either pickup £70 each. Audere - £100 It is all black.[/s]

    I have one of these and like Mart above, it has stayed while others have come and gone. Mine actually went once but I bought it back. It is a winning combination of superb clarity and virtually no weight.

    Hi Rachel! I am well and teaching FE music in Bangor. Welcome aboard here. It is lethal! Gwilym Aethwy is here as well.

    Hey Rachel, were you in the NYWO in the mid 80s by any chance? Whether you were or not, greetings from North Wales.

    Some people do not like the idea of IEM cos they fall out sometimes, but getting one set of moulded plugs made is still cheaper than one decent wedge.

    The Samson has one master input, but then has an extra input on each of 4 channels (also giving individual volume control and iirc bass and treble). Each of the 4 channels will drive 3 pairs of cans. So you can have 4 seperate mixes running for 12 sets of cans. The weight saving and lack of muddy sound running off the stage is too good to be true.

    Samson headphone amp. £130 ish. Headphone extension leads and everyone brings their own in-ears. No mush from the stage monitors to worry about. MUCH less weight to carry about. Of course, biamplified 2x15 wedges would be lush, but try budget in ears. No, really.

    I do not need another desk in my life, but that is an awful lot of desk for the money there!

    We should be discussing who can pee highest against the wall, it would be much more useful.

    [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1356516615' post='1910603'] actually the octobans are to the side, on his left. They are clear acrylic and not so easy to see. [/quote] That's what I get for surfing before I can focus properly!
  21. Owen
    Nice, but the drummer needs to up his game. No octobans, no gong drum. Shocking

    I used one MANY years ago. No matter what I did with it the output was PITYFUL. It got a lot louder when some sort of pressure was put on it. Mine followed the arch of the bridge with double sided sellotape. If it was given to you then I would experiment with putting one end under a bridge foot.

    One of the comments on Youtube was that the sound has changed so much since those days. I presume that anyone who is going to go to the hassle of watching an hour long doc has half a clue about the subject under discussion. It has been a LONG time since I have been on the classical side, but if it has changed, what has changed?

    [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1356275806' post='1908648'] and a vid of Bakithi demoing some of the Graceland stuff. Great rhythm and touch. [/quote] That is some righteous tone right there!

    I have an Audere preamp which has a kind of addictive low impedance switch on it. It is pretty addictive. I know nothing of the inside stuff. Is this do-able without using an Audere? Some sort of passive jiggery-pokery?
