Hey guys. I'm trying to find a pedalboard to hold all my pedals (well, duh :-) ). I don't need much space, just a volume, a few drive pedals and a compressor. What I'd like, ideally is: Some neat cable tidying or routing methods. A bag or case of some sort. (Otherwise I'd just go with the planks of wood approach) Ideally, but this is pushing it, internal connectors. I don't know exactly what they're called but I'd like to plug the instrument and amp cables into the board itself rather than the first and last pedals. I haven't explained that well have I? Oh, and fairly cheap. Like not more than £100 for the board and the power supply. I was looking at those mixer cases from esr that Charic mentions in his thread. I think they're winning so far assuming the lid comes off completely. What's everyone using? Are those Gator case/pedalboard combos any good? The GTP-Pro? Thanks in advance. Pedals I'm pretty cool with, never owned the board before though! Jack

Charic, how are you getting on with that mixer case? Is there a cutout at the back? Does the lid come completely off?

A lot of Steve's sound is from hitting the strings both really hard and 'down' (in towards the pickups). That way they get that clacky sound, I think they hit the last fret in a similar way to when you slap. Try it, it's easy to do once or twice but you'll spend a lifetime trying to do it every time at that speed.
-
Thanks guys, yeah I know it's not the company per se but I'd expect a reputable company to have a secure connection. I might give them a call some time.

Where can I buy the Visual Sound units in the UK? I see a few combo packs available from the states on ebay, but I'd really prefer a UK based seller. HotRox has them, but Firefox tells me that the connection is untrusted. False positive on Firefox's part? Are they genuine?

[quote name='Fellrunner' timestamp='1349712385' post='1829480'] Thanks Andy, Looks lovely but alas i have the hands of a girl. Cheers [/quote] You should give her those back. These cabs usually sell right away, and they should because they're blinkin' amazing. Good luck mate. -
[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1349639667' post='1828647'] Waiting for someone to mention a certain cab manufacturer beginning with B... [/quote] Not me, Behringer are rubbish. I never got on so great with the Ashdown cabs, though I love the heads. GK do brilliant cabs in their neo or RBH range, and though I've never owned, I've used and liked the Aggie and Ampeg 4x10"s.

I'm sorry, you lost me at 'Musicman???'. To which the answer is clearly 'yes'.
-
Hey GuitarJong, unfortunately I sold it but it was to a basschater, it may still be kicking around on here.
-
Still looking forward to the possibility of getting one and gigging with it but I totally understand that you're a busy man.
-
If you'd post, I'd be interested I think. -
No one? Was hoping to avoid ebay! Someone make me an offer? -
Hah! Whoops, was so keen not to post this in 'basses' that I put in in the wrong 'other instruments'. Thanks pete.

Hello folks, For sale I have a rather special Epiphone Les Paul. Made in Korea, this came out of the (superior ) Unsung plant in March 1999 and she was guitar number 3000. The guitar plays perfectly, wonderfully even, We got this a while back and never really played it, so much so that I noticed a small crack in the pickgaurd when I got it out to take the photos and a quick investigation revealed that the 'crack' was actually the protective plastic that was still on after 13 years. There is one small knock on the back, hasn't gone through the clearcoat, more of dent than a scratch. I totally forgot to get a photo, will do asap. I'm in Chester-le-Street, about halfway between Newcastle and Durham if you want to collect. I'd prefer that but I'll post at your expense too if you'd prefer. I can even deliver or meet up if it's reasonable, just message me. The £250 asking price is open to offers and includes a non-descript, slightly tatty but perfectly usable hardcase. That is lined with purple velour. What more could you want? Note - I'm not an Epiphone, or even a guitar, expert but I understand there is a much later model that is nearly identical but with coil-tap pickups. This is the 1999 and does not feature coil taps. Some cool Asian playing one: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDzp-R4zAFU&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDzp-R4zAFU&feature=related[/url] Photos of mine: (That really don't do it justice) [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g40/sparkythebunny/2012-09-07205312.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g40/sparkythebunny/2012-09-07205333.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g40/sparkythebunny/2012-09-07205353.jpg[/IMG]

I've gigged with a pair of GK Neo 1x12s and that was a great set up. Two smaller cabinets are an order of magnitude easier to fit into your car than one big one, even if they take up the same volume. I know they get recommended to death, but Barefaced may have your answer, have you thought about a Compact?
-
I know you said you lack patience but I'd certainly wait for a second hand bargain. I just sold a Hartke 4x10" on here for £70. The would leave loads for a decent head. If you insist on small combos for house practice (and fair play, most of us have at some point), get one with an extension speaker socket. Use the combo for now in the house and if you do it right you can just buy a second hand cab when it comes time to gig and plug it in.
-
I had that exact debate. Actually I'm still having it and probably always will! I ended up with the Fusion. I occasionally miss the brittle top end grind. But I know I'd miss the thick gooey grind more if I'd have plumped for the standard MB heads.
-
Ashdown MAGs are all very giggable. If you say you don't have a car how are you moving any of this? A Scout would be fine in a taxi for instance whereas a MAG wouldn't. And neither would really work on the bus.
-
My advice would be a GK Backline 600 and whatever cab tickles your pickle. Having said that, I don't think there's been a suggestion so far that I don't agree with.

One of the best bass sounds I've ever heard live turned out to be an Ashdown Electric Blue combo. What are those things? About 1x12" and about 150W IIRC? It depends on the mix, the volume, the other players and everything. I stand by the general idea that a rock gig needs around 300W and a 4x10" because that will cover the average rock gig. Having said that I regularly show up with either a 65W 1x10" combo or just a DI box because I know I have PA support or the use of a house amp or whatever. If you KNOW your gig is not average or you just need less for whatever reason then good for you. Still doesn't mean we can recommend that a beginner who needs our advice can gig with a small combo. To do so is to give bad advice IMHO.
-
Certainly is mate, did me perfectly thank you! Bump for pictures! -
This thread is over 2 months old, have you bought anything yet? (Just 'cos I have a great 4x10" for sale................)
-
Yeah in general the heads will be just fine but you'll really want a dedicated bass cab.
-
It's not really loud at all but the amp is also my home practice amp if I'm not using headphones. I'm a computing enthusiast and I'm currently 2 feet away from a huge metal box with 3 140mm fans, 2 120mm fans and a 180mm fan. Id guess the GK was easily twice as loud, and at a much more annoying frequency (likely because of the amp's fan's smaller diameter).
-
The fan in my GK is annoying, has anyone replaced the fan in the MB Fusion?
