PaulWarning

it's all about EQ, too much low end, below 60Hz, and it's a incoherent thump, too little around 100Hz and it disappears into the mix, IMO

for a few of our songs, I start with a 1 2 3 4, Ramones style, then the band starts off at a different speed, but it's ok we just follow the drummer 😁, let's be honest if you don't it's car crash

should have said mines an EVO III 500

excellent customer service, which is what I got, however, valve drive on mine gives a noticeable overdrive tone, not Lemmy territory but heading in that direction, unlike the valve preamp on my Trace SMX, doesn't seem to make any difference at all

be interesting to see a graph with the depth at 0 but the bass turned up, should result in the big cut at 30Hz and below but less at 50ish and above, in other words a steeper drop off at the really low frequencies, if I'm understanding the graph right

absolutely, the quality of the average venue's electrics can be very iffy, no more tingling when I 'kiss' the mic

yes I'm the same, I do like some new stuff (usually when it's similar to the old stuff I like 🙂 ), but I can't be bothered to look any further into it, also, I don't like going to gigs where I'm not very familiar with the band anymore.

don't think so, it's something to do with the rehearsal room's amp, guitarist bought his own amp last week, no noise with the same lead, I think it's an earthing issue. I just wondered why wireless got round this, something to do with why you don't get an electric shock when using one?

the drummer sets the tempo, I've played with drummers that slow down , a nightmare, (speeding up is not so bad, for me anyway) but you have to go with them otherwise it gets very messy

the thing is he's not hiding anything, his photos show what work he's done and the quality so if you buy from him you are getting goods he says you're getting

indeed, just my opinion, I just think it's highly unlikely that anybody who has any experience of guitars would be taken in by his conversions and waffle, but like you say, just supposition.

I had the same thing when I bought an ABM 500, rang ashdown and was told the same thing, sent it back and it turned out it was just a resistor that had packed up, they repaired it and sent it back, no charge

As others have said the people who are likely to buy his guitars are beginners and haven't a clue about buying an instrument and very unlikely to be on this forum, his excellent feedback would be enough for most, trouble is, by the time people have realised they've bought a pig in a poke (if they ever do) the positive feedback has already been left. So while slagging him off on here may be entertaining for some it's highly unlikely to achieve anything

does seem strange, I just record the longer version on Friday night, points of view is still broadcast by the BBC

no, brand new, he was a bit whizzed off edit, the profanity filter is pissing my off 🙂

Enjoyed them myself and Liam Gallagher, it'd be a dull world if we all liked the same stuff don't you think? edit, and for once the interview, about vinyl, wasn't totally toe curling either .

last night at practice our guitarist was suffering a lot of buzz from the rehearsal studio's amp, tried a different lead with no improvement so I let him use my wireless system, no noise at all, just wondering why, is it something to do with no earth connection?

one of the advantages of the lower wattage ones is they're lighter both my SMX and Series 6 are fanless and are about 13KG an easy one handed lift

I've got a SMX and a series 6, I prefer the series 6 for gigs seems to have a little bit more umph, it's 'only' 200 watts but plenty loud enough, it's a fanless model, gets hot but has never cut out

just got a WL20 to replace my Line 6 G10, yes it does stick out rather alarmingly so did the G10 but they supply a right angled converter which meant the unit lay across the body just above the volume controls on my P bass, I'll be using that with my WL20 as well

I suppose it depends what genre, I've done 100's of open mics never been offered a gig with a band, maybe it's because I'm rubbish or everybody knows I'm in a band already. Jam sessions seem to be ok if you want to join a classic rock or blues band

various ways all involving the internet seems to be the way, they've all been mentioned, the old way of of adverts in the music press, music and record shops is long gone.

actually that's not a bad bass sound he's got there

after my earlier post about problems with my Line 6 G10 I used it last night, no issues at all, beginning to wonder if something was interfering with it

yes that's right, personnel preference I suppose I don't like having to have a transmitter attached to my belt or strap, which is why I went for the G10 in the first place, seems a lot less hassle just to plug it into the bass
