its set at Line, at Phono sound almost non existent.

cheers worth noting, it's always a toss up between cost and benefit. Bit Like a preamp or cough, compressor on a Bass rig.
-
cheers so out of touch with the hifi scene, have good local indpependent Hifi shop might just seek there advice, when you are getting above £100 may just accept that have to adjust volume, as I said sound quality is superb just a lot quieter

Don't know of there is a dedicated HiFi section anywhere. but could not find anything. After some advice. Just purchased both a new Denon Hifi and direct drift Audio Technica Turntable. Both sound amazing in my 4m x 4m living room with a noice set of Wharfdale Diamond speakers. Only issue is switching from streaming, CD, DAB to Phono Vinyl is a massive drop in volume and I have to crank the volume up a fare bit (turntable set to Line which is loudest). There is no drop in sound quality at all, no extra hum or buzz or anything, just have to boost volume from around 20-24 to 30-36 (it goes to 50) maxed out) I do like it loud but not stupidly and if I do there is plenty in the tank hit 40 on volume and its very load. So does anyone know how to boost the signal from the turntable , just to get it more unity with other settings, can you get boosters for this type of thing, or just by some better quality RCA cables would that make a difference over the std ones that came with the Turntable. Any advice would be appreciated.

This ^ I hate went they just crank it up, the equivalent of sitting in a car reving the engine, when what you want to know is what's the pick up like in 4th from 30-50mph

Brian Downey only original member who played on every recording along with Phil founded the band together.
-
Yep, Al Atkins was the only original member, Ian Hill and KK downing joined and then the band collapsed soon after, they resurrected the band with Atkins Briefly but he soon left, and Rob Halford came in and then Glenn tipton. Thats the classic lineup

Always thought the Bongo bass sounded like the sort of thing Boris Johnson would either play or use to describe some sex position 😆

Rollin Thunder replied to MoJoKe's topic in Effects
Had my eyes on one of these, but felt it was a bit pricey just yet, looks really nice. Just bought a Two notes le bass, very similar features -
Who knows, wanting a new pre amp but a proper tube one as I have an helix stomp been looking at the Le Bass, Ashdown, and saw this. Bit mire money put price will drop a bit once released

Fantastic Fender Jazz deluxe (Mexican) circa 2015-16 model. Paid £850 new. Sounds fantastic in either passive or active mode (whatever suits) Maple neck. 3 band active Eq Active passive switch Vintage noieless pickups Comes with Fender strap, padded Fender gig bag Two sets strings Rotosound Jazz flats and set of Newtone hand made rounds. Condition superb, a couple of very minor hardly noticeable dinks, (but bass’s like these need a battle scar) only ever used outside home use for some semi acoustic rehearsals. Unfortunately selling just to clear space not used as much as my other bass’s, neefs a good home. No trades, collection or meet up, please ask as I travel a lot for work so naybe able to deliver.

Looks nice this, drive not too harsh, but plenty on tap. Not the cheapest but Tube drive and no more expensive that Darkglass pedal. http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/mark-vintage-pre/

Had mine over a week now, had time to gave a real run through NT 4, love the colour and pattern, phenomenal sustain (proper Spinal tap Nigel Tufnell sustain) loads of boom but clarity, generally a more midy sound but not lacking in the low ends, not really used the eq, but sound great everything flat. The Aguilar pickups and pre amp is excellent.

I gad a Spector A few tears ago Ns2000 or legend, bolt on neck, wasnt too impressed, it felt too rattle’y and thin but muddy sounding at the same time, no warmth or real sustain. But it had a bit loose machine heads that i could not get tighter and not sure the bolts on the neck where up to much. Heard the Neck through are a different kettle of fish along with the Aquilar pick ups. Hope this blows my mind and lives up to the Spector hype. Should be here Thursday.
