I'm also a happy user of Tapatalk for Talkbass and a Land rover forum. I actually browse basschat less on my tablet and phone because I don't really like using the full site. Would love to see Basschat added to Tapatalk.

Yeah they say they're lacking but my Streamliner was crazy loud. Micro heads are the answer here, and ideally when you gig you just plug it into another cab. A mate's or the other band's, whatever. I'm a GK man, love the 200 and the MB fusion. Cheaply, I liked the Harley Benton head too.

Turn your amp up quite loud and turn each control until it sounds better than at any other position.

Which of these are suitable for bass use? There's no end roll off with the non-bass specific ones?

Oh that looks really good, I thought you were just going to mount the pedals straight in it though. Liking the raised idea. Do you reckon you could mount the pedals directly on the floor or would the raised lip on the front be too high?

I really don't fancy those Boss ones, appreciate the advice though. Thanks for all of the advice actually, even though I'm pretty much decided on a mixer case the same as Charic's.

Thanks Charic. what are you doing about mounting the pedals? Velcro? what's the bottom of the case made from. I want one, assuming I can sort pedal mounting and cable routing.

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='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.
