As suggested. I'll start off with some vintage Tecamp porn and the noobies can chip in.

[quote name='obbm' post='644349' date='Nov 3 2009, 01:11 PM']I have to confess that a Pleasure (Board) is all mine. It's just been delivered. I'm really looking forward to trying it and seeing if it makes it easier for me to play without deafening the band.[/quote] This might sound a bit simple but does the board actually produce a sound or is it vibration only?

[quote name='~tl' post='644035' date='Nov 3 2009, 12:00 AM']The 2x10 and 2x12 combos use a Class D amplifier rather than the Class AB one in the 1x10 and 1x12... so that could make a difference too. However, you'd then expect the Puma 350 head to be similarly affected, which it doesn't appear to be.[/quote] As I said the separate heads (Puma 350) may well not be affected at all as they would be standing flat atop a cab (some distance from the drivers) and would also have a large metal base plate shielding them. I'd be interested to know if the amp built into the combo is a fully sealed, self contained unit or if the drivers have some kind of isolation chamber screened from the amp... who's gonna open theirs up? Of course this is all just different opinions about what constitutes a 'noisy' amp/combo. We may all have very different tolerances to extraneous noise and to be sure my Tecamp Black Cat, was absolutely noise free.

[quote name='Lew-Bass' post='643772' date='Nov 2 2009, 07:48 PM']Personally I haven't noticed any hiss with my cabs at lower volumes, it's asif it isn't even on. I've cranked it to almost full just for a couple of notes to test the sound/hum and still nothing. Maybe I'm lucky?[/quote] Separate cab and amp OR combo?

[quote name='Musicman20' post='643743' date='Nov 2 2009, 07:21 PM']PS....it seems to be just the combos hissing...is it due to the small driver?[/quote] I'm no techie type and this is just an educated guess but could the fact that the combos have the amp positioned down the back of the combo mean that the working gubbins (see not a techie ) of the amp are 'fairly' close to the driver magnet which being Neo magnets has a stronger magnetic field than traditional magnets, leading to increased hiss... the cabs/amps wouldn't have this issue as they are no where near as close! Just punting it out there as a suggestion.

[quote name='Dubs' post='643690' date='Nov 2 2009, 06:27 PM']Well I've just bought a pre amp and negotiated into it a Boschma rack, and it looks great Not sure it's the right size for my power amp though... [/quote] What size is the rack you are getting and what size do you need? I only ask as I have a fairly old 4U SKB case (still solid and intact but well gigged) and I could have traded (cash your way) if your case suited my needs better.

[quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='643321' date='Nov 2 2009, 12:45 PM']That walnut Jazz looks familiar.2x jazz + single jazz ? did it ever have a walnut neck ?I had one like that.[/quote] That one was a 'Satterley Special' built from scratch for me. It may well be that it passed through your hands after me (via Howard, as that's the way it went from me) but it didn't have a walnut neck at the time.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='642894' date='Nov 1 2009, 10:05 PM']Any views with anyone on how the M212 will handle a Shuttle 9.0?! Im mainly going to use the LM3, but Im thinking the Shuttle 9.0 might be on the cards soon to use with my 8 ohm cabs. Im thinking that 900W into a 600W cab might be pushing it. I wont actually be turning it up full....but you know what Im getting at.[/quote] tbh your ears should be hurting way before it starts making strange noises... which is prior to something going terminally wrong! If you're not sure I'll take it off your hands and you'll even make a profit.

[quote name='mytilini' post='642434' date='Nov 1 2009, 11:54 AM']O.K. - your backline rig is about 45 feet (c.15m.) cable distance from you on stage and you're NOT going into a front-of-house mixing desk. You've got some in-line effects between your bass & the amp's input and some additional stomp box effects within the effects loop - what would YOU do...? AM I mad in thinking that the only way to do this is to use non-phantom powered (probably, passive?) D.I. boxes and balanced (mic) cables to get to & from the amp?[/quote] Is the the scenario you mention a one off and exactly what is that set-up (orchestra/pit work/show/festival)? Surely you can't have many gigs where you are that far from your rig and not using PA/foldback support. On the rare occasion when I'm placed further away from my backline than I'd like, I just set-up the pedals off to the side and ensure I'm close enough to stomp when I need to.

The seller had this bass up for sale a short while back and advertised as a Stage I; wanting £1200 for it. I pointed out to him (diplomatically) that it was actually a BO neck Streamer NOT a SSI. Fair dues to the guy he revised his listing and advertised it for what it is. I've had it on my watched items list purely out of curiosity (I'm not going to bid on it) and it's sat at £200ish for a week until today when it's just jumped up to £700! There's either a dumb buyer out there or someone's about to try and pay him with a Nigerian cheque because I've watched a couple of PROPER Warwick NT basses sell in the last week for £600 - £680 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230392109299&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url]
