Just started using some Planet Waves cables.... quite like them so will be trying some more

Yep.... Entertainment agencies I've found to be pretty poor.... do the leg work yourself as no-one can sell your act better than you!

a few this week - Thank You - Sly & the Family Stone Le Freak - Chic (that mid bass section has a certain groove to it) N.O.T. - Incognito

[quote name='Subfeeder' post='864030' date='Jun 11 2010, 09:11 AM']Hello, I have an RSS feed of the Basschat marketplace which fuels my GAS. I'm also a guitarist and do computer music recording. Does anyone know of any similar forums or marketplaces for guitar or home studio gear in the UK?[/quote] yeah this one - [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/"]http://www.soundonsound.com/[/url]

Great venue too... played there a few times and always a really good night

[quote name='Hutton' post='863433' date='Jun 10 2010, 04:22 PM']I came across what looked like a 2X12 combo today. It was badged 'Maine' on the grill and had 'Bass 12/60' marked on the panel which was coloured red. It looked like an ok piece of kit which I have access to if I need to use it. Does anybody know anything about these combos or the Maine make?[/quote] I had a Maine 2 x 12 valve guitar combo for years..... it was great. Bloody heavy but great..... don't know anything about them though

Update to my Disco/Funk Board.... less synths now.... but more Akai goodness -

Dissagree.... plus he may have issues with gain staging if he's going through two mixers..... a 100w Kustom mixer amp will be fairly shoddy on the power front driving two of the peavey cabs. having a dedicated poweramp should afford him more power. yes he may have frequency issues but do away with the not so great set-up and have a simple signal into mixer into amp will be far less a complicated signal path. May help also to look at mic and speaker placement

I think that before you go down the route of more outboard equipment you may want to address the amplifier. If you are going into a mixer and then into the Kustom amp.... no amount of outboard is going to give you greater output. I'd ditch the kustom amp/mixer and buy half decent power amp and use the mixer you already have. You would see a noticeable difference

[quote name='Stewart' post='862855' date='Jun 10 2010, 07:11 AM']I thought it quite amusing (as I invariably do when people mock superstition), but didn't feel the need to reply. With regard to (paraphrasing) "Which PA for a small church?" it's also almost as useful a reply as any of the other posts - no information has been given (or asked for) in terms of the size and shape of the space! In many 'traditional' church buildings a 10/12" + 90 degree horn cab is almost certainly going to be a disaster... Putting bass guitar through such a system in addition to vocals/guitar isn't likely to help either.[/quote] Yes but with a budget of £200-400 your not going to be able to buy much else.... if its a traditional church the sound will be horrendous anyway. Most churches will use speaker columns for speech as these are the best solution to the reflective properties of the church over traditional boxes. for band use you'd be better off using a small line array type or steerable system.... but this would be way outside the budget

Very good.... make sure you go out in a 'Blaze of Glory'...... i'll get me coat

I'm going to vomit on the grass....

Also check some Wharfedale for that money.... big bang for buck.... steer clear of KAM as they are horrid

.22 Air rifle...... or Screwdriver.... your choice
