Hi, I assume you have changed the battery? That would obviously be the 1st port of call. Secondly check all the cable solder joints to and from that pot, as well as the joints on the lead from the battery itself carefully to make sure there are no dry joints etc... Shep

After a few hours of running said amp with said cab I can report they sound amazing together with no worries. All good

Welcome to Basschat David

lol. I wouldn't really call my HD350 'light' Although its lighter than my TD650 I suppose.

Did a part ex deal with David on an amp… I was a tad unlucky and the amp failed shortly after arrival (Please note this was not due to David etc… no fault was apparent upon David sending the amp). David was cool enough to stay in touch throughout the process on contacting the manufacturer and arranging a deal whereby I got my hands on a a new replacement unit. Cheers for the great communication. Shep

[quote name='tonyf' post='1202200' date='Apr 16 2011, 10:26 PM'][attachment=77653:mini_rig.JPG] Here's my mini-rig. Although with the 4u rack, it's not quite as mini as it could be. The 4u contains my EBS HD-350 with my tuner and Sennheiser wireless. The cab is a 4 Ohm Zoot 112NT. Love the cab and sounds great but to be honest, I've never used it live, only at rehearsal. Need to take the leap of faith and go for it at a gig. Thought about getting a second 112NT at some point. Perhaps the extra volume from the second cab would allow me to gig with it. T[/quote] Ha, that looks huge! I bet the flight case weighs a ton!

Myself and mcgraham took a trip down today. Great day out, met a couple of nice folk including some chaps from Yamaha. Informative as always. Thanks again for your hospitality, help & advice Mark. Appreciate it as always! Shep

Hey guys, The Wizzy 10 is rated at 250w @ 4ohms. I started a thread a few days back in the Amp section with concerns of running the 550w Micro head with a cab only rated at 250w. The general consensus was that it should be fine as long as you don't thrash it. The boys at Euphonic Audio also seconded the notion and actually suggested that the pairing is a match made in heaven. I have to say I'm impressed. The volume output is pretty damn loud even through that baby cab and it's super tough in construction. I love the Wizzy. Pete - I was hoping you'd not notice that I'd moved in

My updated mini powerhouse... EA Micro 550 & EA Wizzy 10. Sounds lush!! Pic of just how small it is in context to my gear in 'bass corner' -

At the level of musicianship I am at I get out of it a sense of pride, recognition and pure enjoyment. I certainly don't get free instruments, nor do the fully fledged recording artists that are endorsed by Roscoe. Projects I'm involved in get mentioned by Roscoe and I'll get some some recognition via thier website and shows etc. In return they get someone out there playing shows in the UK, a place where they do not have geographic reach and I'll mention them on recordings etc. Will it increase sale for Roscoe? Maybe not? Will I earn anything from it? Maybe not. But it's a relationship at it's starting point. As time goes on, as musical ventures grow and google searches turn up my bands when you search Roscoe and visa versa then maybe either I or Roscoe will benefit from it. It's another way of venturing into a community of musicians without a huge out lay and brings new instruments to the eyes of audiences, musicians and sound men around the UK. I love my Roscoe and will continue to fly the Roscoe flag endorsement or no endorsement, but am proud to be recognised as part of the Roscoe family.

Thanks for your kind words guys!

I bought one of these from Mark. It's fine for slipping in the bag for gigs etc an suits my Roscoe and GB fine, some odd shaped basses don't like them though and just won't sit well at all. Like mark suggests... If you have space etc for a full stand I'd suggest it.

Following on from Dood's great news about his Planet Waves endorsement, I'm excited/chuffed/proud to announce my endorsement with Roscoe basses. I've used a Fretless Century Standard for about 18 months now after getting through more basses than I knew what to do with before finding 'that tone'. I have used the Roscoe exclusively with my Dubstep/Electronica project (www.ourhelicalmind.bandcamp.com) and it literally has been the secret to my sound. I've dealt with the guys at Roscoe on some technical advice over the last year and reguarly deal with Mark @ Bass Direct. After some conversation with them it was decided I'd be a great addition to the family as a 'Local Hero' endorsement... Being a musician out their flying the Roscoe flag both live & online, whilst not being a 'successful touring/recording artist'. This came at the same time the EP was launched and Moog Music noticed it and were kind enough to give us a nod on their live news feed. Everything was times right and here we are. I'm very proud to be part of the Roscoe family and would like to thank Gard & the team at Roscoe, Mark at Bass Direct and Stevie D at Moog Music (for technical advice and the promotion in getting the EP noticed). I'm off to Bass Direct tomorrow to look at more Roscoes Shep

I was a late starter... I didn't discover this until it was already well established as Basschat. Interesting seeing the origins though! Very happy to be onboard now though

Congrats dude. Tis' the season for endorsements!!!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1200354' date='Apr 15 2011, 10:10 AM']Wahey! Roscoe have finally updated their website after 3 years.[/quote] It's been like that in terms of layout for a few months now. I'm told another content update is to happen shortly as well [quote name='Soliloquy' post='1200576' date='Apr 15 2011, 12:43 PM']Some beautiful basses there. I had a 5 string SKB a couple of years ago, it was a very cool bass. I'm maybe thinking of trading my Overwater for an SKB 6 string. Can anyone tell me how wide the necks are on the 6 string models ?[/quote] Necks are wide. About as wide as they come, but also VERY slim in my experience. I'm yet to find a 6 string neck slimmer than a Roscoe.

Glad this is back on track. All my questions have been answered from both a rational and technical angle. Cheers guys Shep

[quote name='DanOwens' post='1199374' date='Apr 14 2011, 01:34 PM']That's quite a compliment, Shep.[/quote] Oh, I was only joking... Joke Like the Choccy factory groove as well! Did you record it live? Certainly sounds it.
