[quote name='silky13' post='483521' date='May 9 2009, 03:39 AM']Ahhhh!! I cant wait to see them next month now!! [/quote] Whaddya mean? please tell me more... to call sheehan thick because he is a scientologist is a bit out of place Mr Thisnameistaken! people have a right to chose what they believe in whether it be aliens or god or drugs or booze or whatever! if you still persist in him being thick then for a thick man he well respected and has made a fair amount of money doing his thing! and, I'd rather be thick than judgmental! andy

[quote name='Faithless' post='480683' date='May 6 2009, 09:42 AM']Em... Dunno, maybe it's just me, but they looked like a bunch of [i]oldies[/i], who got 'a decent amount of money' to come back and do some [i]foolish [/i]acting in front of cameras. [i]Good ol' [/i]days? F*ck it. Even Metallica looks better these days. Oh, and the vocalist... BTW, sorry for all this. Maybe that because it's me, in the end.. Or just because I can't stand Sheehan.[/quote] oi! I'm an oldie and very glad to see some fellow oldies back in the game! particularly real talented oldies!! money was never the driving factor as they are very well off individually. cheers fro the heads up clive, it is fantastic to have them back and look forward to hearing new material! andy

Ashdown bass equipment is great! used loads of it from abm to mag to their jlo dist. pedal. I currently use a perfect ten combo for house practice and acoustic sets - as the tin says perfect ten! if it wasn't for the fact I was 40 a couple of years ago and picked up most of my ampeg kit for it, then I most certainly would be using ashdown full out at this time. the abm 810 is the best looking 810 on the market adn the mag 810 is the single best value in terms of construction, tone and price I have ever seen! andy

from experience, if it's built into a track it's near impossible to fully isolate. some programs profess to do this but the outcome is a mushy mess! andy

yeah! lets keep the love in as we are all very passionate about our gear! we are all decent fellows and sorry for being a dick also! I'm off to hug my rig now... :wub: ps - just been listening to smokin by humble pie - it is superb recommended listening! link: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwWEoMM4PDY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwWEoMM4PDY[/url] andy

sorry folks, I always take the kids for a long walk after dinner...but they always find me again!! where was I?? ah yes I think I'll take the diplomatic retreat and agree to disagree. Siddx - not offended don't worry and no apology necessary. andy

[quote name='silddx' post='469844' date='Apr 22 2009, 06:40 PM']I'm really sorry Andy, but you are seriously talking rubbish now. I've been playing for over 30 years, have very good ears, had plenty of valve amps, tranny amps, DIs, modelers, etc. I KNOW what my pod can do. Your amp has no presence or headroom either without your cab, so that's a big load of baby balls for a start. The POD f*cked a subwoofer in a pro studio a couple of weeks ago so I know how much air it can push about. The transients are earthshaking through a PA. I'm lucky enough to play in a pro band so I usually have a decent if not superb PA with sound people who know what they're doing. WHY is analogue FAR better than digital? I absolutely [size=6][b]DEFY [/b][/size]you to tell the difference of an expertly set up POD patch and a DIed SVT in a blind test. You been on the sauce today or something?[/quote] ok what ever you think! andy

practically same as you ped, bass in no eq. your v4 was the newer revision than mine which was more hifi and superclean! I'm not saying these things are rubbish nor unusable they just don't cut it for an old purist like me! hey, I still have a turntable and far prefer vinyl over cd! andy

hi ped, stupid bit of argumentation there by me! I know the pod doesn't shift air. however, I have never heard a pod stand up to valve amp ever. I mean, you know, you just simply cant redefine the laws of physics. A DSP, at this very point in time, unless someone finds the solution to infinitive sampling, will never faithfully nor truly recreate an analogue signal but it gives it a bloody good try! Again, not everywhere has a decent pa so the portability issue raises it's head again. I do think though if these things were that good everybody would use one - it is not a futile argument it is just plain fact - if the pod could recreate my rig then does anyone really think I wouldn't walk that route? I'm 42 overweight and unfit!! And yes analogue is far better than digital, just to flame the argument, suggesting other wise is just plain silly! I'm glad you guys all love it so much but it just did not do it for me and I really don't see it as a real solution for bass players! my opinion of course. andy

sorry don't see it nor hear it! siddx, my rig shifts enough air to knock you over without going through a 3k rig - can the same be said for the pod? and herein now lies the issue: portability yep great as long as you have a roadie with a van capable of carrying a huge rig! sorry contradiction there is immense! anytime you want to put your pod up against my rig great! as I said been, seen, done, read the book and wore the t-shirt, the pod just did not do it for me! but hey different strokes for different folks! the pod has no headroom nor presence just a set of emulation patches amplified and given I repeat given potential headroom and presence by either a. a pa system or b. a power amp and speaker cab which again contradicts portability! I'm not having a go nor belittling the pod just giving my opinion and experience with them. andy

[quote name='silddx' post='468934' date='Apr 21 2009, 07:07 PM']I really don't know what you mean by competing in terms of "headroom and presence", would you explain please? OK, the performances and recording I've done with my POD X3 LIVE, I went direct into the desk. The same as I have done with my active preamp/DI boxes (a Sansamp and Hartke VXL). There is little difference in the three I think you'll agree. Now, your SVT 8x10 and your Trace valve head is on stage instead of my POD. You take a DI from your head, or mic the cab, and go into the desk. The resultant signal in both set ups comes out of a 3kw PA with subs. Are you going to tell me my POD can't compete with your rig through the 3kw PA with subs? Because I will beg to differ. In fact, I could probably empty our bowels with my POD through a 3k PA with subs.[/quote] OK! Taking it from my valve head, 4 kt88's and five 12ax7 powered by two brick in size transformers, all wired to give optimum performance and output. now, my amp is rated at 220w it is peaking at near 400w - why? is a question for [b][u]Alex Claber[/u][/b] who is a genius with these things! - the sheer volume and in your face bass that come out of this and the svt cab will knock you off your feet and set your trousers flapping at 100 paces. I have the master volume set full open and can only get the gain to 4, it gets stupid after that!! When I owned a Pod Pro, in comparison, I found it to be thin and noisy and even worse at volume. It wasn't broken but it may have been a bad example. I would like to hear both connected either di or other to a 3k rig but as above cant see the amplification of the pod getting close to my V4. remember it is a pre-amp with emulation software controlling. As for recording, yes I can see the benefit in this however again, for me, I prefer the bass direct into the desk. andy

[quote name='silddx' post='468682' date='Apr 21 2009, 03:59 PM']My POD does not have the presence or headroom to compete with a semi-decent rig? Would you kindly elucidate? I need to know if I have wasted 350 notes.[/quote] question back at you - how could it possibly?? andy

been seen and done and, for me, they just don't do it!! these digital signal processors/pre-amps can't create the full blown sound of a decent rig even a semi decent rig - simply don't have the presence nor headroom. I have an svt 810 and trace elliot v4 valve head and...would never consider dumping for a pod! my gig rig is an ampeg svt 3pro and an ampeg b410,. both very portable and extremely versatile for what I need when circuit gigging. it's difficult at anytime for a bass to cut through a valve head and 412 cab the frequencies are different for guitarists - they just cut!! the hk head your man uses is supposed to be killer and massively loud for its rating. andy
