Hey folks, I recently just bought a Mesa 400+ which i love lots. Only problem is, i'm worried about it dying on me because of power surges (or bad supplies). My guitarist has a power conditioner in his rack but it takes a bit of space. I have a 4u rack with the mesa in it. So not much space at the back at all (few inches max). Anyone got any idea on any power conditioner that is REALLY small but still rackable? To power the amp and my effects pedals. Cheers Davie

I'd be interested in hearing some clips of these pedals. I have an OC 2 which i love to pieces, but sometimes it doesnt track brilliantly. Sometimes the ex7 does a better job...

I Play alot of Doom/Drone stuff as well as my main band Playing desert rock type of stuff, I can just get some nice fuzzy goodness![/quote] Regarding the FF - Can it do that insane sorta feedbacky sound? I spoke to Max at sfx and we discussed building one that would work at bass freqs. If i can make space on the board once its tidied then i might give it a go and see.

What about going for an Ampeg SVT 4 Pro? I know of one for sale......

Wasn't there a black Lakland DJ5 with PJ config on here a little while ago? I remember frothing at the mouth at it. EDIT: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72466&hl=Lakland"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=Lakland[/url] Here. Whoever bought that is one lucky bugger. That bass is sex with strings!

Welcome! What band are you in? I'm in Aberdeen so might have heard of ya

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='748316' date='Feb 17 2010, 12:35 PM']No, not me. I think that form of synaesthesia's quite rare, compared to things like letters or numbers (or days of the week) having colours. That said, I do get a sensation of different "tones" and "feelings" (bright, dark, happy, strident, etc.) from different chords and keys, which apparently not everyone has. In fact, I agree with Nigel Tufnel that D minor is the saddest of all keys. No, seriously. An A major chord's bright and open to me, whereas Eb major's kind of solemnly smug. D minor's really sad, but A minor's just wistful. Hard to describe, but really useful at times. Chord extensions give me different sensations too (and usually combined with the associated feeling for the base chord too): maj7 = light, open, floating min7 = dense, thick, dark sus = sparkling[/quote] Hahah i thought that was just me being stupid! Thats roughly the same thing ive said to mates about chords! and get this look back

[quote name='neepheid' post='743027' date='Feb 12 2010, 01:11 PM']snip I'll bet some people stick at this point with Lakland Skylines, the new Warwick Rockbasses and other "top end budget" models.[/quote] I also love my Skyline because it seemed to actually feel better than an American Lakky. Not to mention the DJ4 only seemed to have dot inlays on the American as opposed to the skyline with the blocks. I think thats the case - I could easily be wrong.

I recently updated mine. It has changed since - a DHA VT1 still has to fit in somewhere! There is also a wooly mammoth on it too now. 'Scuse my shoes.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='739122' date='Feb 8 2010, 04:59 PM']I'd suggest creating a separate thread in for sale:amps and cabs, if you want anyone to see it. S.P.[/quote] Was just thinking the same thing

Right i think i've decided what i want to do... I need cash. So £700 for the head - which is racked. I'll also include an Alesis 3630 Compressor. Ta

Hey guys, I need some help here. I have an Ampeg SVT 4 Pro, Ampeg 610HLF and Hartke 1x15 XL. I recently lost my practice space, which means it is all sitting in my garage not being used at all. So since i'm not going to be gigging again untill Aug/September at earliest i feel like i'm wasting this rig in the garage. Should i sell it and get something else perhaps lighter so its easier to carry to a practice space? Or should i just keep it. But in storage for the time being? If anyone has any suggestions for what to go for let me know. I'm seriously not sure what to do And tbh i'd rather not do a combo.

I done it a few years ago. Planet waves locking strap with an old jazz copy. I did it both ways (head first and tail first). You just sorta have to learn to move your head down so it swings back into place. Hurts like hell when the bass doesnt get enough force and lamps you in the head, you move up to soon and get the bass battering your kidney's or the other option is swing to hard and play catch the bass. I wouldnt do it now.

Hi, Out of curiousity where are you getting these from? A finance deal could be easier to pay for than taking a 1k hit on my account! One of the music shops up here did take ampeg in, but they're having issues with suppliers now. Bah! How does the CL compare with the SVT2pro? anyone know? Sorry for the hijack!

Hello, I'm interested in joining a function band. Looking to play some random covers and to be honest make a small amount of cash for doing so! I've played for 7 years and have my own transport and gear. Also have my own PA. If anyone in this area would be interested let me know. Cheers Davie
