Get a roqsolid cover with contrasting stitching, and then a cloth to match that.

There was one signed on the front of the body at Sound Control in Newcastle that hung on the wall for ages, after the shop closed down Guitar Guitar got it and last time I was in (ages ago granted, I hate that place) it was still there. So the answer is, seems to be a difficult sell mate

An easy way to check if all the speakers are wired and working is to plug a speaker cable in and stick a 9V battery on the other end. All of the speakers should move out the same way. Otherwise just play through it then get someone else to and listen whilst they do to every speaker to check for damage. Seems a lot though, I'm sure Ampegs carry their value well but you see 8x10" going for a hug these days with all this lightweight gear nonsense that's fashionable with the lefty hippies and commies.

I built mine inside a mixer case. Just shop on eBay for a flight case that opens the right way that's going cheap and stick the pedals on there.

Pitchblack! Although if I had to buy one today I'd be tempted by that copy of the Pitchblack.......

I'm really really impressed with the Mooer Pure Boost, can be had for very little money, volume, gain, bass, treble controls, tiny, true bypass. The list goes on mate.

I don't think it matter does it? our amp would suit you just fine if you ever started gigging again, a pair of Genelecs wouldn't. Also, the sound of your bass unprocessed into studio monitors will sound very, very different to the relatively colored Aguilar. To the OP, whilst it's almost definitely possible to have an amp that's unnecessarily big, it's completely impossible to have an amp that's too loud. They all have volume controls and they all go counter clockwise. The overwhelming sound was the bassist's fault, not the amp's. I'd love a small city car for when I don't need my truck in the same way most people would love a myriad of rigs for every situation but the reality is that money forces most of us to simply have one rig that's big enough for our biggest gigs and therefore far too big for the smaller stuff. The trick is simply to turn it down! You're right what you've said though IME. For one, a lot of us could certainly do with listening to the band rather than the individual instruments. I always cringe slightly when I see threads like 'how can I compete with my guitarist?'. This isn't a sport, it's not a competition, it's a team exercise. Most of us could probably manage with a 100W Peavey combo. But to use my previous car analogy most Ferrari owners could probably manage with a £300 Vauxhall. Where's the fun in that?!

Correct. Actually with the Marshall being solid state it shouldn't need a load to work just fine. (disclaimer, SHOULDN'T). Seems like a lot of amp to cart around though, are you using both heads anyway? I suppose you are because you say they're both connected to cabs. Does the sound city have an insert? Try a noise gate in there.

Nascent 'real' board, not getting that much use because of the Zoom B9.1UT. Still needs a few more pedals, and that Muff is now for sale. The PSU is under the right side tier, that's the power cable coming out at the top beside the tuner, it ends in an IEC to plug an amp power cord in to. There's currently nothing under the left, I'm thinking fdeck hpf though. OC2 already on it's way, still wanting a really nice subtle od too.

Yeah it's combination of thick paint, neck lacquer, different woods, bolt on etc etc. Little changes but when they're all as far apart from your singlecut 5 as can be then they do add up.

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1360260911' post='1967706'] You're quite right, I was just saying that the man was a very good guy to deal with and had a credibility and integrity that was reassuring. [/quote] Granted, and actually that's quite valid. If you'd said he was a liar and cheat his basses would likely be rubbish.

Exactly. Like a 'real' pedal board.

Just 'cos he sells nice basses doesn't necessarily mean that the ones he makes are any good though.

I'm also extremely interested. Been wanting something like [url="http://www.classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/basses/limelight002pbass.htm"]this[/url] for a while now.

Hey, we told you.

Wasn't the ASS stuff used by Entwhistle? And shouldn't this be in 'for sale'?

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1359888322' post='1961494'] This man makes loops and A/B's and blenders of all sorts. I've not bought his products so I can't vouch for them, but they look pretty good to me! [u][url="http://www.brightonion.co.uk/"]http://www.brightonion.co.uk/[/url][/u] [/quote] I have a patch pedal from him and works fine. Bloody better mind considering it's a metal box, 4 jacks and no moving parts! An LS2 with an od and eq in the loop would let you blend distorted mids in to your clean signal, but you'd need another loop and another eq to remove your clean mids I suppose. Might be simpler to just leave your clean mids in and blend in the distorted mids to tases?

You fancy my EHX Muff Overdrive? Bored of it and it plays weird with my power supply, not an issue if you just want the one pedal. £20 If you're crazy enough to want it then I use a Mooer Green Mile for an always-on subtle drive for 'no amp' gigs when I miss having my amp and a DOD 250 for actual overdrive.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1359651886' post='1958292'] Crate bass combo. Truly awful. Not even much use as a crate. Closely followed by a Laney bass head. [/quote] Funny, I was just thinking the worst amp I ever owned in terms of it's condition etc was Crate BX80. 80 watts, 1x15" speaker, graphic eq. Was outmatched for a band situation when it was new and mine was around 65th-hand. The worst 'good amp' I ever owned was it's replacement, a Laney R5. 2x10" and 180W into those speakers, 300 with a cab. It should have been so much better, but it couldn't do anything in a live band context either. Such a shame, I bought a Laney R1 as a small amp at around the same time and I absolutely adore it and still have it 8 or so years on.

I got that the first was the 'nice' expensive Fender, but couldn't tell the others. Makes a good point though, they all sound >90% the same.

I've never owned a truly bad one, my Squier P would be the worst, but even that's great for the price. What I have learned though is not to buy that Epi Thunderbird I've been lusting over.

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1359137192' post='1950618'] Shame the link to the Dr Green pedals doesn't seem to work... [/quote] Does now

I have run it that way for about half an hour yesterday yes, but I won't any longer. Thanks Ham.

Thanks ham! Currently it is daisy-chained with two Mooer pedals but I suppose it's trivial to move it to an isolated output. If there's no noise or hum does it really matter?
