I did exaclty this and after one gig they did not work as well This has reminded me to send them back under warranty. [quote name='Jamesemt' post='777012' date='Mar 17 2010, 09:12 AM']I currently use the ACS in ear custom mould ear Plugs and they sell earphones which replace the filters. If I buy those, connect to a suitable output on my amp and buy an inline volume control for the earphones ...erm is that it? How do you go on with the wires? Feed them down the back of your shirt? Is it really that simple? ACS want £120 for the earphones that work with their moulds - anything cheaper that's compatible? I've been using the custom moulded plugs for about a year so am used to wearing them ( sounds weird without them tbh)[/quote]

I teach at an FE college and we need to buy some new interfaces. The ones we have had so far have not really managed to stand up to the abuse our students hand out. All our Alesis ones have died or are dying. We have a bunch of Lexicon Omegas which have been OK-ish but we had to send 7 back to be repaired so they do not inspire confidence. We have M-audio combined keyboard/Audio interfaces which have been ok but sometimes fiddly. We are looking for bombproof, idiot proof bus powered USB 2 audio interfaces. Price is an issue. Any ideas?

No no no no no You want one of these [url="http://www.k-m.de/TABLE-STYLE-KEYBOARD-STAND.3+M52176c92ce0.0.html"]http://www.k-m.de/TABLE-STYLE-KEYBOARD-STA...76c92ce0.0.html[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/km_18950.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/km_18950.htm[/url] I inadvertantly bought 2 but only needed one for a keyboard (don't ask). I am 6'2" and my 3x10" hits me square between my shoulderblades.

Martin at the Gallery built me a Bass 10 years ago. For the next 5 years he recognised my voice on the phone within half a sentence. I was not a regular caller. He offered my wife a cup of coffee 8 years ago after she got fed up of Camden Market and followed me accross to the Gallery. She still says it is the nicest music shop she has ever been to. She has been to a lot of music shops.

[quote name='tonybassplayer' post='770055' date='Mar 10 2010, 08:44 AM']Dread to think what level of rehearsal is required to get to that standard[/quote] Usually 3 hours + 15 years minimum of practising before that for the individuals. I used to do a lot of classical playing but then stopped. I went to the Opera last night and remembered that playing tight is not just for hot funk bands.

To be fair the Berg active cabs are not just a power amp chucked into a cab, they have onboard DSP to tune the cab as well. I do realise that when done in bulk and the R&D costs are done and dusted then it is not a massively expensive part, but the IP is an elegant solution and I no longer have debilitating amp GAS

That seems a fair price all round. The pre-amp would be between £400 and £500 and then chuck in a power amp (I'm guessing that the power stage is nicely specced being a Demeter) and you would be there. I am biased, but the pre is very nice indeed.

Apparently the preamp is based on the same as an Alembic. I wonder how easy it would be to take the power section out? Much cheaper way of buying an Alembic pre thing.

I have an Adrenalinn 3. It was no fun until I got some editing software. Now it is easy easy easy. There must be some editing software out there somewhere.

I bought the pedal and the Eprom. I put it all together. It works. I do not need it now because I have actually learnt the pedal (imagine that!) and it is fine on it's own for me. Mine is now for sale. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79559"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=79559[/url]

Sound seems to have been covered, but despite the individual design they are very comfortable to play, seated and standing. On mine the pick up was very close to the strings so almost acted as ramps. Really comfy. The nut on mine was pretty wide, possibly more P than Jazz dimensions. It was also very light. It was a nice piece of kit.

You cannot spell Bass without a B.

Thanks Loz, in the very few bits of info about Clive (first name terms now!) that there are on the net there seem to be oblique references to stuff he has built. Maybe I am misreading things. I have seen some pics of his work and it does indeed look very fine. (if anyone cares to discuss relics then, ummmm.... I do not. I am not buying for anyone else). It is probably something to do with my slightly tragic anorak completist traits as well. I think that my main pleasure in the more mature instrument comes from the fact that because I played on a beaten up Jazz for so long I just got used to not having to look after the instrument I am playing. Since I moved to 5 strings MANY years ago this changed but I have been playing some older 4's recently and just MASSIVELY enjoy not having to care about whether it is hitting the arm of the chair, whether my coat zip is damaging the finish or how close is that shelf. The Alleva stuff looks very fine indeed, and would probably tick all my sonic boxes, but I also crave a bass that I do not need to cherish and nurture.
