[quote name='TheRev' post='670007' date='Nov 30 2009, 02:10 PM']And that was all from you![/quote] [i]Moi[/i]? oh surely not. Well, maybe for 10 seconds or so.

[i]"The new Live Series is now "the standard" by which all affordable bass enclosures are to be judged. Features include all new components, more compact cabinet designs, and are geared to deliver power performance and value to beginners, students, and professionals alike. All models have been carefully calibrated to perform under the demanding riggers from today's bassists. Even our new "Edge Lift" cabinet handles speak to this "new standard" from Genz Benz Enclosures. A large single 15 in. enclosure that easily stacks under our LS 210T or LS 410T models. It delivers tight low-end punch and clarity. This model is a powerful sub cabinet or a great performer on its own. Rated Power: 300 Watts RMS. Components: One GBE 1560 woofer. Available in 8 ohms only. Technical Info Power Handling RMS: 300W Frequency +/-3db: 55-4K Hz Sensitivity 1W/1M: 98 db Nominal Impedance: 8 ohm Weight: 61 lbs. Dimensions (H x W x D): 24.5 x 25 x 18 in."[/i]

What a great day, made the journeys in that godawful weather well worthwhile. Nice to meet you all, some good laughs had and some lovely gear lusted over and, best of all, all at a sensible volume with hardly any slap For me, basses of the day were the Eminence EUB and that stunning Marleaux fretless 5. GAS moment of the day was hearing my Shuke through Drewie's Bergatino cabs just when I though I was completely happy with my rig... Many, many thanks to Si and Drewie for sorting it all out.

[quote name='BigRedX' post='667838' date='Nov 27 2009, 10:52 PM']Doesn't even need to be sequenced. Just provide a triggered gate signal and hold down the correct notes. Easy![/quote] Back in the day, I had a Roland SH09 mono synth that I used in just such a fashion. Made some fabulous big Moogy noises! Wish I still had it.

Well, if you guys are half as pleased with your 9.0s as I am with my 6.0, you'll be very very happy bunnies Somebody do a review when they arrive!

Then there's all those Paddy Ashdown bass rigs and Marshall Mathers guitar amps...

Bloody good idea! That's how it shall be done

[url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/davidb7306/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p4340"]http://shop.ebay.co.uk/davidb7306/m.html?_...p;_trksid=p4340[/url] I've got my eye on the sawcut yew tree veneer. There are some other really nice pieces in his list though.

I've got my eye on some very attractive figured wood veneer, about 1.5mm thick, with a view to using it as a facing wood on the front & back of a project bass. Obviously I'll need to thin the body down a wee bit before they go on. What's the best way to shave a bit off the front (& back) of a body? An electric plane? Or just a pile of glasspaper and a hell of a lot of elbow grease? Just to add a complication, the bass has a glued-in neck.

Thanks for the review AREA, looking forward to hearing more about it! I've copied your review to [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=68730&pid=666302&st=0&#entry666302"]this thread in the Reviews section[/url]... if you have any further comments to add after your practice tonight, could you update that thread too? Thanks!

[b]Mini review by AREA, from [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=57284"]this thread[/url]:[/b] [i]Digital Wireless got me.... Here´s a short Review. At First, let me say I´m impressed. As I said, when I come home the Parcel was waiting for me. The G30 is real "Plug & Play" nothing you have to adjust or something. Just connect the receiver to the Power Supply, wich is included of course. What I like is, that you can power the Receiver with a Daisy Chain Cable also, when it´s added to your Pedal Board. The Receiver is very light. You feel it´s Plastic. Line 6 says ist not just Plastic, it´s Polycarbonate, wich is more sturdy. Time will tell, but what will you do to, or with the Receiver? Nothing. You won´t step on it or something. Little green Led Chains informes you about the Transmitting Status/Quality/Level/Strenght and about the Battery Status. With one of the little silver Sliders you can select One of Six selectable Channels, with the other you can simmulate "Cable Tone" of a 15 or 30 Feet long Cable. Just have checked it very fast and it seems, that you loose some little Highs with Cable Tone, but you have to listen very exactly. The Bodypack Transmitter is also "Bonehead-Simple". Two Signal LEDs show you that you a.) got an Audio Signal and b.) about the Battery Status. You also got a little silver Slider to select one of the six Channels. The Transmitter requieres two AA Size Batteries or Akkus. What I like about the Bodypack Transmitter is, that you can use every Mono Patch Cable to connect the Transmitter to your Bass or Guitar. You don´t have a special and expencive Cable or need one to buy if you like one as a Backup. Just use a Patch Cable in good Quality and about 50cm Length. By the Way, the Cable wich is delivered with the System, is a little bit stiff. It´s not the one you see on the Picture below. Okay. So far so good. Plugged in my passive Fender 5-String Bass and the first Thing you notice is: It´s absolut deadly quiet. You hear absolute nothing, if you don´t play. It´s like playing with Cable and it sounds like playing with Cable. I can´t hear any Difference. Same Dynamics, same Signal Quality, same Output Level. I´ve checked and compared it 2-3 Times. I can´t hear any Difference. Really. Tone is as punchy, warm as played through Cable and also the Low B shows no Compression like it does, if you play with analogue UHF Systems. Then I went through my whole Appartement. From Living Room to Bedroom, Kitchen. Through 2-3 Walls. I still have had a Signal. No Drop Outs. Must be enough for every Stage we´re playing on. That´s my first Impression and I have to say: I like it. We´ve got Practice this Evening and of Course I will test it in our Bandroom too. But until now I lke to say: Recommended!!! [/i]

Pretty bass, ghastly tone. But yep, it is a deeply personal thing.

From [url="http://www.emginc.com/products/index/137/146/4"]the EMG site[/url]: [i]"[b]For EMG pickups only[/b], the BTC System features a pre-wired balance control (blend) and master volume with the bass and treble on a concentric pot..."[/i]

[quote name='steve-soar' post='658723' date='Nov 18 2009, 11:17 PM']I cried when they played Awaken. :blush:[/quote] Yeah, it does that to me too. I still have some of the confetti from the Cardiff gig some years back.

[quote name='budget bassist' post='307488' date='Oct 15 2008, 10:47 PM']I'm the kind of guy that hoards bubble wrap and foam and boxes though! Makes it cheaper to post [/quote] Heh, me too. You would not believe the number of varying jiffy bags and small cardboard boxes I have accumulated over the years. I had to send a Sei bass via courier once, and only had a skinny gig bag to send it in... I was paranoid about it breaking so I wrapped it in an entire roll of bubble wrap with a thick layer of cardboard round the outside. It looked like an Egyptian mummy by the time I'd finished, but arrived safely. Apparently the packaging bore unmistakeable signs of rough handling in transit, despite my repeated 'Fragile, please handle with care' scrawlings all over it. I think some of these people go out of their way to bust things sometimes. Then there was the amp I bought which arrived in a 2U Stagg case simply wrapped in thin brown paper... needless to say, the case was only fit for the skip by the time Parcelfarce had finished with it.

I never go anywhere else for my strings these days. Blimmin marvellous people.

IMO, pain is your body's way of telling you to stop doing whatever it is that's hurting, before it does some real damage. The way I see it is: No Pain, [s]No Gain[/s] Good.
