Good track and a great vid, well done!

[quote name='apa' post='1045494' date='Dec 2 2010, 07:17 PM']I'll say what we're all thinking shall I?

50+ of us all send it the spec for our 'dream bass'. We go to one of these poor innocent and simple business men in the far east and tell them we are a prospective new international company looking to see how good they are and here is a list of samples as a tester. All done to the highest spec at £50 a throw. Now what could possibly go wrong with that plan?? Whos in? :-D

Check out Vonda Shepherd.

Congratulations on such a fine job and thanks for reminding me what a great bassline that is.

These are great cabs, I bought one then another then it all went terribly wrong...

I use a rack mounted fan behind each of my heads, you should also make sure that the head has sufficient space for airflow around it, does the amp have it,s own fan? If so work out where the air can be drawn in and where can it escape.

I,m surprised this hasn,t gone yet!!
I,ve been thinking of buying one myself that an old friend has.

Did someone say twins?
:-)

This isn,t silly, at least not in my confused world!! :-)
My band are playing a gig in peterboro in a couple of weeks and my guitarist has suggested me using my ampeg gear alongside by GK stuff....
I thought this a good idea so I,ll be using my GK 700 rb II 2x10 combo sitting on the 4x10 rbh cab that I use with it.
It,ll be next to two ampeg 8x10s driven by my pair of svt2pros.
With a little luck I think I,ll be able to hear myself..

[quote name='shiekaa' post='835609' date='May 12 2010, 07:47 PM']I'm looking to get a flight case for my SVT2-PRO Head and am trying to look at my options.

I've narrowed it down to;

- needing space for ventilation due to the intake through the left of the head

- needing wheels (anyone who has one knows how heavy that son of a bitch is)

- probably needing shockmounting for two reasons
1. for the ventilation it would give!
2. wanting the best protection for an expensive head!

The problem I have is I'm not sure whether to go for 4U and take rubber mounts off or 6U for extra ventilation

I'd really appreciate any advice people could give me on where to get a flightcase, If I'm missing out any information and whatever else people have to say![/quote]
Hi!
Side ventilation for these amps is a must and adding a fan at the rear to draw away heat will ensure that they don,t let you down by overheating.
Mine are housed in a shock mounted rack where the inner rack is surrounded by foam in a larger outer case, there are holes cut in the side of the inner rack adjacent to the amp air intake on the left that line up with sections of the foam that has been cut out forming channels for air to be drawn from the front of the rack and then there are rack fans at the rear.
If you do go for an skb type rack case then make sure that the recessed handle of the rack doesn,t foul the amps air intake or it,ll cook.
:-)

I have wizard pickups in my shuker customs and they are superb! can,t recommend them enough!!!

You can use individual pedals and still have the flexibility of a pedalboard layout like an all in one effects unit, just get Ground Control or something similar or the gigrig stuff.
Switching systems for individual effects.

Just get some timpani and be damned!

That sounds like a plan!!
Thing is, it sometimes takes ages to find a band that fires you and if you can,t wait then you are knackered as things don,t always work the way we want them to.
Thats where 'Gear Aquisition Syndrome' comes in...
:-)

8 WEEKS! and you,re thinking of throwing in the towel!!!
Jesus! I waited nine years to find a band worth getting involved again.

[quote name='steantval' post='704769' date='Jan 7 2010, 09:03 PM']Hi,

Played at the Voodoo Lounge three times with our band Stealer............superb venue.

Michael and the staff are all great folks and their soundman Noodles is very good.

Let me know what the number of punters were like on the gig night?[/quote]


Hi there!
I think some are going to be put off by the extreme weather but we,ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

Hi all.
Just a quick heads up for anyone in the peterborough area, we will be playing two 45 min sets from 9pm this friday at the Voodoo Lounge at Mama Liz,s music venue and we have a rather excellent acoustic artist support from 'Cliff Hazzard' so get there early to catch him onstage as well.
Doors open 7pm
3 kwid entry.
Peace.
Wiz.

I'v heard alot of praise with jon Shuker so i might have a see what hes like and the beauties he makes ^_^[/quote]

Jon was able to produce exactly what I wanted and I absolutly love the result, I can,t praise him up enough.

If you are getting on well with your Ibanez then maybe you should track down Leo Crabtree the artist rep for ibanez.

The pin solution is the best option.

[quote name='JTUK' post='692958' date='Dec 24 2009, 02:06 PM']Have to say that I have used many Ampeg units but they were hired in so may have had a few miles on them. I think the Amps are better but the cabs I'd give a miss. If people say the newer models are better then ok, their info might be more upto date, but traditionally you needed 2 cabs or a 8x10 as the power was very poor pre speaker...300watts for an 8x10 is not good by any stretch, so a modern 4x10 should be delivering 600watts RMS easily with decent chassis' today, by my thinking.

If you want a decent cab.. and some might say the BEST 4x10 around, then the above poster has a BERG 4 x10 which might be worth a think about.

Just my 2p...[/quote]


The ampeg 8x10 has a power handling of 800 watts rms.
