  1. They sent you a box full of packing material????
  2. Shipping from UK not worth your while on a used old 15, even if it was free and you only had to pay for the shipping. If a courier dropped the box it could wreck it.
  3. Limelight at least put their own serial in sharpie on the back of the headstock. I can see the day someone refinishes the back of the headstock and fakes an authentic looking Fender serial and pawns it as Fender Customshop.
  4. There's a limit to how much roof raising you can do with a garden variety 210. Amps with the same 'rating' have no trouble blowing them up.
  5. Two words. Supply. Demand....
  6. If the Chinese knockoff something designed by Behringer, for a change, is it a lie?
  7. UK date format methinks. Eg 2/11/23 is 2nd November around here.
  8. For live, as close as it will go and still sound good. This means it will pick up relatively more bass and less drums.
  9. Sounds like you have proven the maxim "if it sounds like it's about to blow up, it probably will", by actual test.
  10. Does it not have an endpin? Not sure if you want a free standing stand mount for playing a la NS EUB or a set stand for breaks a la DB.
  11. The Elf DI is well regarded by those in the know.
  12. Edit out the bottom 5. Put in 5 more by popular request. Rinse and repeat.
  13. Gimme an extra 50 and I would try to score a used Origin FX Blackface GigRig just to see what all the fuss is about.
  14. "Here we see a rare elderly 'Ampus-backupitus Giganiticus' in its natural habitat. More usually found in the boot of the bass player's car."
  15. Not all MB is equal. If the cab for the MB210ii is a passive one that connects from the speakon 8 ohm output on the amp, all good to use another amp. Whatever you do don't hook up the combo to that set in reverse, or you will have two amps needing repairs. If it's an MB Active extension with it's own amp inside connecting from the combo chain out XLR and plugging in it's own power cable, not happening. Maybe the active can be defeated and there is a speakon for connecting an amp. Doubtful. Best post a photo of the extension cab back panel to be sure.
  16. FWIW I have had the same issue with acoustic kick when amped with a subwoofer. Maybe he modeled that one.
  17. I read most threads and true enough, never heard of either until you came along!
  18. Who is Steelers Wheel's bassist? Because that Stuck in the Middle bassline is a bit like a 2nd vocal line while still functional as bass. That's the kind of bassline I like. Macca is good at that too.
  19. I am sure the irony is not lost on Uri.
  20. EUB typically has a strong low end output. You may want to cut some lows as a premeditated move before tailoring the rest.
  21. Ashdown can't go around their own distributor. Why so much firepower for something that never has to be heard with drums and guitars and assorted noisy bastards? I can appreciate not wanting to be ripped off by a monopoly distributor. Maybe something smaller and less exotic would suit and you would get ripped off less? Traynor make some good stuff. It's pretty exotic if you call yourself a North American.
  22. If you found basschatuk with a search engine you can surely find Sweetwater selling HL115 bass cabinets, or you're pulling my leg. The replacement speakers aren't listed but you must be able to order one for a new cab model.
  23. Actually it has been measured to be quite scooped but the mid control is bang in the middle of the scoop so it's very unscoopable. I forget the settings for flat but probably a little bass and treble cut and a little mid boost to level it out.
  24. I have read a few accounts of people stripping carpet off cabs for tolex. They are all woeful tales. I don't think anyone does it more than once. And yeah, paint over the carpet would be a job for a skip once done methinks! Maybe if you belt sanded the carpet first... Yeah, nah. Give it a haircut and call it good.
  25. I looked it up and Canada is 'only' about 40x the size of UK so something is amiss in the analysis.
