[quote name='Jonesy64' timestamp='1399933017' post='2449215'] Thanks Gaz, so does it just settle down into one of the blue strips of light flitting back and forth across the display it you are in regular mode? Turn around and have a look please :-) [/quote] I use the regular tuning mode as per the first option on the video in the earlier post which has a static green line and moving blue line which disappears when you are bang on the note. The other two are strobe type modes that were too 'busy' for my taste.

I've been using one for 4-5 months. It's effective, easy to see and use so can't fault it. It's always on when you are playing and there are different display modes to choose from. I don't think it looks cheesy at all (IMO) but, to be fair, it's behind me so I'm not looking at it all of the time. ;-)

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1397156743' post='2421332'] Choosing a bass goes pretty much in this order: 1. Looks. If I don't like how it looks I would never even think about trying it out. 2. Playability/comfort. If I like the way it looks I'll pick it up and try it out unplugged. Only once I'm happy that I like the feel will I get around to trying it through an amp. 3. Sound. TBH the only real test of this is through my rig with my band in a rehearsal or gig situation. No matter what it sounds like in the shop, this is the only real way to know if the sound is right for me. 4. Price. Only really an issue if it's more than I can afford. [/quote] This^

[quote name='BassTool' timestamp='1395085920' post='2398554'] Somebody got a bargain beauty on the way by the looks of it, cracking bass at an excellent price! The boy Gaz may regret letting that one go, unless of course there is an incoming Status...... [/quote] Sorry to see it go Johna as its a really good bass, but it had to be done to help fund the incoming arrival....only 14 weeks to go.

Bump, still for sale.
-
Just a brief note to clarify that the price includes a hard case. I'll also include UK shipping.
-
Really nice looking bass and a good price. If I hadn't ordered one just before this came up for sale I would have been seriously tempted by this. GLWTS.

After playing a Warwick Thumb for 10 years I bought a Spector Euro 4 after being initially attracted by the look of the bass. It became my main gigging bass for 3 years and has a great tone. I still have it and only stopped playing it due to GAS to try other basses. The neck on mine feels quite chunky compared to my other basses but, from comments on Basschat, I'm led to believe that not all Spector basses have the same neck profile (mine was built in 2002 I think). IMO they are excellent basses and well worth checking out.
-
Nice to see a few other Momark owners on here still enjoying these excellent amps. Haven't used mine for almost a year since I picked up a RH450 but just ordered a EQ42S module and looking forward to giving it an extended run out.

LEDJ Q Colours are worth looking at for flood type stage lighting and have in built programs so no additional controller needs to be purchased. One each side of the stage/band area would be sufficient but you may also wish to purchase additional lights to provide some variation to the wash colour.

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1378883577' post='2205852'] Currently analogue. However, if the Samson Airline bites the dust, it will be a digital Line 6 all the way. [/quote] I noticed a definite improvement in sound when I switched from the Samson Airline to Line 6 G30. IME it was worth changing even though my Airline system was still working (I now use this in the house to save me tripping over my lead as its cheap as chips to run!).
-
I had a 201 system that I used for about 20 years without issue before it packed up. Seemed okay although expensive for the time. I've since moved onto Samson Airline then a Line6 G30.
-
I bought one second hand that gave me great use for a number of years. I couldn't comment on the Ashdown gear as I've never tried it but wouldn't disagree with any of the previous comments on the TE.

I'm planning to go too as I missed the last one.

I believe that the Chauvet 6-spot will produce white light however I don't think they would suit your needs as the heads are very close together and I don't think they can be individually controlled. My band tried floor based par cans to provide white light on band members but I often found myself making mistakes during songs due to looking directly into, and being being temporarily dazzled by, them. We have since mounted led par cans on tripod stands at each side of the stage with white light directed onto band members at bass/guitar height rather than at face height. This works much better from a practical (playing) point of view and looks just as good from out front IMO. Perhaps this approach may be worth considering?

I don't know what capability your QTX foot switch has, however I'm guessing it will only control QTX lights that are daisy chained together via DMX cable. You can use different brands of lights with one controller, however you need to decide which lights you intend to purchase and also whether you will be running them in 4 or 6 channel DMX mode. This is optional on some lights, such as the LEDJ Q Colours, with 6 channel mode allowing you to use additional features. I operate the following lighting rig for my band: 2 x LEDJ Q Colours, 6 x LEDJ Slimline 229's, all daisy chained via DMX to a Transcension LED Commander 64 controller. This, like many DMX controllers used by bands and DJ's, uses 'simple DMX' control and is fairly easy to set up and operate (albeit after a bit of trial and error as the instruction manual is rubbish). Many 'simple DMX' controllers operate in 4 channel DMX mode only and will not control lights designed to run in 6, 7 or 8 channel DMX mode, such as my older Slimline 229's, hence I needed to upgrade to this more capable controller. Incidentally, the LEDJ Q Colours are really good lights. We use one either side on t-bars to provide a stage wash with two Slimline 229's to provide white light for me and the guitarist. We use another two Slimline 229's as uplighters for the drums and the other two as uplighters at the side/rear of the stage area. I hope you find the above useful. Regards Gaz

Unless you need the extra channel options and range that the G50 provides I would recommend the G30 instead. The G30 transmitter has a standard jack socket output whereas the G50 & G90 systems have a different type of connection. I can't remember exactly what this is but the supplied lead isn't very flexible and you will need to buy the same type of lead if you want to keep a spare.
