    Amp Head Advice?

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted · Edited by richy316

    +1 for Peavey. Im sure you can get a Peavey Tour for about £300
    Here you go! just out of your price range brand new but look for a used one or the next one down in the range you'll be laughing.

    First Night on Bass

    in General Discussion

    Ouch! many things going on here. umm first thing is playing live is soooo much different to playing at home at low volume or through headphones, much practice with the band is required i suspect. You will get used to it and also finding a sound you can hear through the rest of the band as again the settings you have at home don't always work in a bigger room could be many reasons ie: what the floor is made from, how high/low the ceiling is, are you elevated above the crowd etc

    It is hard to hear what you are playing if the cab is low down by your knees but getting tight with the other members especially the drummer will help to cure that, if you play anywhere that provide monitors get them to cut everything from yours apart from bass may help as it will be infront aiming toward your ears.

    Hope this helps a bit, im sure you'll be given many many other hints a tips from the more experienced boys on here.

    [quote]+ 1 More for PMT. They have a beautiful Sandberg Jazz looky likey. Maple neck and fretboard, don't know what the body wood is. Around the £800 mark I think.

    Staff are great also.[/quote]

    It was most probably a Sandberg you were looking at! they are stockists.

    And yes they are nice guys

    Scratchy Knob(s)

    Ok i've had my Warwick Pro Fet 4 a while now and ever since i got it the gain and volume knobs have made a scratchy sound when turning them up or down. Also sometimes the limiter kicks in when turning the gain knob up and i get a popping/cracking noise from the speakers.

    Is this just a case of spraying some contact liquid on the inside or should i take it to a amp tech for a service before i start gigging again?

    Peavey Amp Broken? Surely not!

    Not necessarily! i had a Peavey TKO combo with DDT all it acts as is a limiter and cuts in to stop you from blowing the speaker, when the light flicks from green to red the amp is peaking is fine but if the light is constantly red when playing its probably working overtime. I never had any trouble with mine, i used it for an all dayer once with 6/7 bands going through it and coped ok.

    Explained perfectly Mr Pablo, I have also suffered with the problem of using my Warwick head with only one 8ohm cab and the performance does suffer an awful lot. You would be better off getting an extension cab to go with the 4x10 you already have be it another 4x10 or 1x15 the choice is yours, you would definitely notice the difference.

    Also with the sound stage being higher up you will hear your sound more clearly.
