Hi All, Yeah I posted in on diystompboxes.com and so far they've told me to check off board wiring which I did and it seems fine to me, here's the schematic for wiring I've followed : [attachment=46805:wiring.jpg] This is the picture of the box : [attachment=46806:IMG_0204.JPG] There can't be any problems with shorts as the circuits sits on 2 standoffs and a bit of foam, there's signal on C4 and R1 but's it's so quiet that it is almost impossible to hear. I'm now thinking about the IC's as someone said that pin 7 should be 0V and pin 14 should at least a couple of V, having read the build reports on tonepad I think that my IC's are the ones that are reported as non-working in this circuit.

Guys, HELLLLPPPP I've got a problem with one of the circuits, here's the spec as per diystompboxes. 1.What does it do, not do, and sound like? – Doesn’t put enough signal to the output, it’s very very very silent. In bypass mode there is no signal at all. 2.Name of the circuit = Agua Filter 3.Source of the circuit (URL of schematic or project) = [url="http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=4"]http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=4[/url] 4.Any modifications to the circuit? – Yes, Emphasis control, reverse sweep, filter range, all from the schematic 5.Any parts substitutions - No. 6.Positive ground to negative ground conversion - No 7.Voltage at the circuit board end of the red battery lead = 9.11 Voltage at the circuit board end of the black battery lead = 0.79 IC1 P1 0.34 P2 0.19 P3 0.20 P4 0.18 P5 0.14 P6 0 P7 0.79 P8 0.20 P9 0.21 P10 0.20 P11 0.21 P12 0.22 P13 0.74 P14 0.17 IC2 P1 0.56 P2 0.21 P3 0.21 P4 0.21 P5 0.70 P6 0.24 P7 0.79 P8 0.71 P9 0.23 P10 0.20 P11 0.23 P12 0.23 P13 0.75 P14 0.17 IC3 P1 0.66 P2 0.69 P3 0.70 P4 0.68 P5 0.73 P6 0.71 P7 0.79 P8 0.14 P9 0.00 P10 0.14 P11 0.47 P12 0.71 P13 0.74 P14 0.17 D1 A = 0.04 K = 0.17 D2 A = 0.10 K = 0.15 Cheers for any help Jack

I think you're more after a boutique jazz bass rather then custom. Plenty of options on that as I believe almost any company has their take on the bass that I absolutely don't get. If you get it off the shelf it will also be much quicker than full custom build.

I think that you should go with Barefaced Compact! Midget won't be enough!

Hopefully if I get a chance by the end of this week I should have something recorded with it as there's few ideas I need to send off to my guitarist anyway

I'm not here to argue but I've played through the LG on a gig and it doesn't cut it IMO.

Get a Barefaced Compact. ''Shameless Plug'' [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82783"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=82783[/url] ''Shameless Plug''

[quote name='richrips' post='796469' date='Apr 5 2010, 12:34 PM']how many 4 ohm cabs are rated at over 500w??[/quote] Aguilar GS 212 and DB 212, GK Neo 212 and 410, Eden D410, Bergantino 410, Genz Benz NEOX212, EBS Neo 212, MarkBass 104HR and HF, SWR golight 410, Epifani UL 210, 310, 410, Hartke HD410, Warwick WCA411 - all of this are not ''monsters'' and are normal typical cabs used by many people on this forum. And that's just to name a few, I think you'll notice that more cabs are rated at 500W than you think. The problem with Ashdowns LG is they can't be bridged ( as it was with superfly) so until you get 4Ohm cabs you don't get the full power out of the amp. Simples as the meerkat would say

[quote name='davidmpires' post='796836' date='Apr 5 2010, 06:54 PM']I did think about that, but I'm a bit straped for cash at the moment, with a wedding coming up, I've had to take a sabatical year of buying gear. [/quote] Tell your family you need one present much earlier I don't think that the missus would notice Compact on the list ?

Just go here and stretch your budget just a little, trust me it isn't "metallic" and it will be more than enough for you! [url="http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.php?product_id=37&category_id=2"]http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.ph...p;category_id=2[/url]

could be a wiring issue or something similar, on the other hand the speakers could be f*cked and if they are it might cost a bit to fix!

Does it for me every time!

I'm going to ressurect this so I cab get your opinions! Basically I didn't explain properly what I'm looking for from these cabs. I recently have not been happy with my sound, I'm looking for something very bright and sparkly, I think That to best describe this sound is to think of a brand new set of strings on your bass and sound of slap but with fingers if this makes sense and I'm actually wondering now if this is possible and if the cabs I'm looking at are capable of this? Any opinions? Cheers Jack

In a nutshell bi-amping is splitting the signal by using a crossover and sending it to the corresponding speakers! Take for example my GK, if I connect a GK cab that has 1x15 plus a tweeter to my amp the low frequencies will be sent only to the woofer only and the high frequencies will be sent to the tweeter only! I have 2 separate controls so I can changel the volume of each speaker indeoendently! You can achieve it with using normal amp, crossover and a power amp as well!
