If you're looking for two active full-range speakers then the Tapco Thump speakers come highly recommended but if you can afford their mackie counterparts then go for them instead!

You'd never use a cabinet mic solo. It should be used in combination with a good DI. The microphone is there just to add that bass power/tone to it that you just can't get from DI alone. Hence using what is primarily a bass drum microphone. You don't need to rely on it to reproduce everything, it's there to do a specific job in supplementing the DI, and a microphone like the e602 does that best.

Posted this elsewhere but reposting for brilliance.

Sennheiser e602-II seems to be the microphone of choice for the touring bands we have in. Recommended [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_e_602_ii.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_e_602_ii.htm[/url]

My two favourites are the two I'll take. Thunderbird as main with the Jazz riding shotgun. Alternatively the Jazz will come out as the main if there is risk or excess alcohol

expertvillage successfully makes me rage, every time.

Ashdown Perfect 10 Mini-Rig. Simply amazing. Don't be expecting trace watts though!

ISD would be 0044?

Firewire really is the only way to go. And IMO the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 is the way to go about it.

Just sticking this up for reference in case someone needs it in future. Industry standard is: AKG C451 for over-heads and hi-hat Sennheiser e603 for toms SM57 for snare top and bottom Beta 52 for bass (with an SM91 as well if you're really going all out) Alternatively if you're on a budget and buying new then I'd recommend: Behringer C2 for over-heads and hi-hat Thomann MB75 for toms and snare PG 52 for bass

I have sent a message to Gibson asking for a quote etc. for a custom version of their Thunderbird. Should I be expecting: a) to be messed around endlessly b) wait >9000 years c) pay an extortionate amount d) all of the above :)

How is your guitar connected at the moment? DI into mbox?

Danke.

[quote name='icastle' post='1147808' date='Mar 2 2011, 10:39 PM']I can usually spot a guitarist playing bass, it generally comes out as complete mush - I've always found that drummers make quite good bass players though...[/quote] Huzzah.

100% a-okay second hand Ampeg B2RE with flight rack case. Deal or not at £300? Window of opportunity closing soon!

Watched the other videos in the series. Every single one is absolute tosh and he never actually teaches what the title suggests.

Jake, I'm not quite sure I caught how it was you wanted DBs to be kept. What was it again?

That's what he's planning on doing, but the head uses a single jack patch bay as opposed to seperate send and return connectors. Therefore he has to use an insert cable to break in.

I'm 12 and what is this?! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trace-elliot-/270712547897?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item3f07b9aa39"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trace-elliot-/270712...=item3f07b9aa39[/url] Unlike any of their products I've seen before

Yes. It's not designed for toddlers but it shouldn't be too hard to work out what to do with it providing you know the basic jargon and words that'll be used in the control software.

It's usually referred to as an Insert cable.

Yes, and yes.

Does that mean a fairy has just died?
