To be honest I never got along with teachers, like you, I kind of hit a plateau after a couple of years, so I went to a very well regarded bass teacher, I quit after one lesson, he made me play his way, he made me wear my bass at a certain height, rest my thumb in a paticular place, attack the strings in a certain way, I may be biased, but there was nothing wrong with my technique before that, i never had any physical problems because of my technique, never couldn't play anything beacuse of my technique, but he insisted his was the only way, I quit and never looked back, to me self taught is the only way to go, but everyones different

Are the gaps between the slats big enough to get patch cables through?

It's been a strange week, my new landlord accidently threw out my trace combo (I honestly don't know how, the seething rage hasn't subsided yet) The good news he's offered to replace it to the tune of £300, I was planning to replace it anyway as I've been wanting to move to a more powerful head and cab setup for years, so I'm gonna spend the £300 on one of them and spend £200-£250 on the other (might be able to stretch to another £300) So basically I'm just wondering whats out there at that kind of price point, i'm pretty uneducated about seperate heads and cabs (understand impedance and wattage everything, I mean manufacturers and sounds etc.), general opinions one which to spend the more money on, 2'nd hand is obviously preferable, needs wise, it's only gonna see small to medium gigging, so 300w into 8ohms is probably good but obviously more is also good, cab wise i'm pretty settled on a 4x10 ideally with a tweeter or a horn, very happy with my dirt pedal set up so I'm not bothered about the dirtiness of the head Cheers

Bought alex's FM4 off him, great to deal with, super fast delivery, very impressed

Few new arrivals, unfortunately my 2nd daisy chain died so I can't power everything, if anyone has one they want to get rid of drop me a PM: night shot:

discumbobulator's looking good, I just got my FM4 from alex, the basschat pedal circle of life continues glad you like it, it can be subtle on bass, it was designed and presumably voiced for guitar, it can get quite quacky and shrill on guitar, but it doesn't on bass, sounds awesome after other pedals though

Sold him my discumBOBulator, great to deal with, quick payment, very understanding of my idiocy, definitly deal with again

This always kinda confused me too actually, as I recall they were built by a dude/company called dan armstrong, he did a whole range of effects as boxes that jacked straight in to the guitar output and had a normal out, seems to be the most commonly cloned compressor

I think its an XO, it was relased at the same time with the new enclosure size, 9v, graphics etc, probably doesn't have XO in the name because it's a new pedal not a new version, but I'm probably wrong Definitley sounds like a bad ground, your best bet would to power everything by batteries, to figure out if it's the diago or a pedal

Sounds like a dodgy ground, most likely your diego is dodgy but it could conceivably be in the daisy chain , and you're right, not conecting all the daisy chain plugs shouldn't be an issue. As for the bass blogger, someone will probably correct me but I believe you can't daisy chain the XO EHX pedals because they need an isolated supply, not just because of the polarity

I've always found the serach brilliant, much better than the talkbass search, which is annoying because they make such a fuss about seraching before you post a topic, yet the search is entirely useless
