well i use the VT2 eq with an ampeg PF -500 into a 1 x 15 & 4 x 10 and it makes a hell of a difference to the sound IMO. Much more valvey warmth than straight into the ampeg, plus a great option to dig in to the overdrive with the "red" channel. I would never sell mine (unless i got an ampeg VR of course!)

us bass players are a rare breed! +1 theres always ads for bass players out there! [url="http://www.lemonrock.com"]www.lemonrock.com[/url] is a good example. I ended up forming a band myself to play the style i wanted and found the people I liked rather than the other way round. Dont whatever you do just stay in a band cos you're worried about not being in one - you'll just stay unhappy! Something is always waiting round the corner

i think the SJB's come with some instructions and a wiring diagram? I got the Seymour duncan P bass Quarter pounder pups and they came with fitting instructions and a simple wiring diagram that was easy to follow. I soldered em in 5 minutes, still working!

great guys, thanks, got one on ebay for 60 squid! cant wait to give it a go. Also blagged a Pearl analog phaser on ebay for 35 squid, love this old school gear!

Anyone ever tried these? Any good? I read they're similar to the old boss and Ibanez pedals from the 80's? cheers!

Nothing worse playing with other guys in a band and you feel embarassed about the ability or sound of the band! Nothing better than the thrill of playing in a tight, kick-ass rock band with players of exceptional ability! DO IT NOW!

markbass compressore is awesome, but might be too "transparent" for your needs!

Eeeeek! Having drunk too much wine with my Debit card within too easy reach, Ive just splashed out £60 squid on some SPB-3 P bass Pups for my 83 JV P Bass. Ive always thought the stock fenders sounded pis*y and harsh to my (one) ear and didnt cut it in the mix with the band. Anyone tried these suckers out? Lots of good reviews out there of course but nice to hear it from gigging musos rather than bedroom twiddlers...

Yep, H2 is brill. You can hear it in action at our gigs here.. [url="http://www.lemonrock.com/archive"]www.lemonrock.com/archive[/url] not bad for such a simple and quick setup

ive got an ampeg PF 500 and was looking for a gig bag and found that my old laptop soft bag fitted perfectly...free!

thanks guys, lots of great advice! I see the memory boys at £75 new in the states and aboiut £94 here so thats a start. The akai looks awesome and there some on ebay now. theres a line 6 echo park on there for £70, so thats in budget....lots to think about!

Anyone got one/heard of one/recommend one? Love delay but want to "tap tempo" in with the drummer rather than set some arbitary dely time with the Knobs! Budget IS a consideration... £70 ish? thanks guys

yep, 4 x 10 @ 8 ohms will be good

sorry, you might be in a jazz band though!

try a 1x 15 with your 4 x 10, classic rock combo, bloody loud

Hi Got the PF-500 head and its great but im carrying it to gigs in its delivery cardboard box and feeling a bit of a tw*t. I cant seem to find a case to fit it, its 14" wide, 11" depth, and 3" high. Any ideas? The 19" 2 RU rackmounts look a bit big and Gator dont seem to do anything to fit

yep got the VT2 twin EQ and its le nads du chien. Dave makes the best!

+1 for the equinox system. £400 new for 2 x 4 bar lights, DMX foot controller, stands, cables and carry case. We use it for all our pub gigs and it works a treat. Avoid the sound to light options (school disco), but the slow fade washes look good. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KS-BtFA_CY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KS-BtFA_CY[/url]

[quote name='DHA' post='1355037' date='Aug 29 2011, 10:17 AM']I am also after soundchips for my bass pedals and would be grateful for any please Dave[/quote] where do we send em to Dave? using the VT-2 Eq its f*****g ace!

Might be worth having a look at Tracktion 3 from Mackie? Ive used it for years along with cubase, protools, abelton et al... For musos its very intuitive and everything fits on one screen, ie no clicking on extra pop up screens for VST's etc, just drag and drop them in as filters. I think its really cheap now as well

MU seems the way to go, just treat all the bands gear as your own if something goes tits up.

nope, he wont let me go near his mesa!
