The whole modular thing is a valid one, but some people genuinely do not need a bigger rig. I have a set up I use for getting much louder when I need to, but I have a 1x12 for when I do not need to fight with a drummer.

[quote name='Gwilym' timestamp='1328708368' post='1531417'] nice! how does it compare to a B2 2x10 ? [/quote] I have absolutely no idea. All I know is that it is definitely lighter.

[quote name='Gwilym' timestamp='1328703671' post='1531337'] yes agreed, if the OP wants more volume per watt, the ACME probably isn't going to compete with the Barfaced cabs. [/quote] I have one of the ACME 12 cabs. It is lush. I could be persuaded to part with it because I am thinking about getting an 8 Ohm one (the power amp I want to use will only go down to 8Ohms)

The process continues. Pete is not happy with the design of the headstock he used for my Uke. It works for a 4 string but he is not loving it's aesthetics for a 5 string so he will be selling it as a 4 string pretty soon. I have copied and pasted the blurb from his facebook page below. It is a really nice instrument, just does not have the 5 strings I NEED in my life [b] HOWEVER I have a 4 string uklectic bass ukulele coming up for grabs soon. It is a remodelling of Owen's 5 string and has a single peghead issue - the fat Kala style strings are bunched up. I've slept on this problem all weekend and the fix is simple - wind the 1st and 4th counter clockwise on the posts. Because of this issue I am selling the bass for £595 complete - solved this bass would cost £895. Remember it has optical fibre side dots at 5,7 and 10, 17 frets, Headway original Ashbory bass piezo, a cocobolo drop veneer facing and heavily side contoured fingerboard to simulate and uproight bass fingerboard edge. As usual pm me if you want this at my webmail address: [email protected][/b]

I am in the process of getting a Bass Uke built. I was over there on Friday night measuring stuff and muttered that I fancied building an instrument in this way. Pete Howlett who is the luthier in question said I was welcome to use his place and skills on an hourly basis. I was going to save up to do the Shuker course, but I am now going to do something similar just down the road on an hour by hour basis when it is convenient for both of us. Pretty excited I am The bass you made looks great!

If you love the SR4 look then you could put a SR4 scratchate and control plate on it.

Don't use it for bass guitar really.

[quote name='Gwilym' timestamp='1328050358' post='1521151'] So what's the main benefit on your Demeter? Or could you live without it? [/quote] It stops feedback on my DB. It is convenient to have it all in a 1U rack space. I could not live without parametric for amplifying DB for loud gigs. My B/Bb on my A string would howl all night long without something to tame it.

The bandwidth (Q) control is the bit that can make it seem that nothing is hapening or that EVERYTHING is happening. EA has semi-parametric.

Because if you are not a bit of a geek, a full parametric is somewhere it is easy to get lost.

The Purple Chili stuff does. Maybe ask the Matamp guys as they seem to be getting a new unit out.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1326578050' post='1499180'] Those Bolins are great looking basses. [/quote] Look great, sound great, light as a feather. It's all good.

When I started looking for a micro head the GK thing was kind of off the radar, but I noticed them and got one. The Fusion is an exceptionally nice piece of kit, and for the record while driving a cab that is less than super efficient it had empirically more grunt than the Aguilar TH500.

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1327074669' post='1506100'] As per my "other" tentative thread about my EBS gear, I am tempted to ditch the HD350, possibly the cab, and go all GK. [/quote] If it works with the EBS cab, don't change it.
