Maybe he is a jazz guitarist..

[quote name='Urban Lions' timestamp='1429219461' post='2749490'] How old is your head? [/quote] The same age as the rest of his body I should imagine.

Is it only the single bassists that get this. Are you sure it is not from doing something else?

Might be worth reading up on old threads such as... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/71878-trace-elliot-bfc-cab/"]http://basschat.co.u...elliot-bfc-cab/[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/170070-trace-elliot-ah1000-cab-connection-questiontherory/"]http://basschat.co.u...uestiontherory/[/url]

If I'm early enough (10.00pm - 1.00am), Stephen Nolan on Five Live. Been listening since it was Late Night Curry with Edwina Curry

I remember watching Percy with the Liverpool Scene in O'Connors Tavern in the late 60s, he was mind blowing then. [media]http://youtu.be/1gmpQC2BNfg[/media]

Sh*te. We have played this venue a few times before, they have their own PA so I just take my Hartke Kickback and DI straight in. Up to now there have been no problems. Last night they had the DJ doing the sound, he couldn't mix pollyfilla, no bass out front and not for the want of telling him, I even turned my amp down so it could not be heard out front but still no response. As soon as our last number was done my bass was off, amp was off and coat was on, and the DJ was shouting to the crowd "do you want more" to the response of "Yes". I said to the band I'd had enough but was persuaded to come back on and do two more songs. When we were stripping down the drummer said he could hear no bass at all when I came back on, I told him it was because I couldn't be bothered turning my amp on. There was no problem with the house music though, that was thundering. Next time I will be turning up with a bigger rig. Edited for spelling.

[quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1426081143' post='2714137'] I used to have a pair of traveller 102P.

What does the "ground fault" indicate?

I tried to fit a 15" McKenzie in my Hartke Kickback and it was too big. WRT speaker impedance [quote]Hey Pete, The Kickback amplifiers are designed to work with the internal 6 ohm speaker for maximum output. The amplfier says 8ohms because we don't want people hooking them up to 4 ohm speakers. I'll check on the nomenclature in the manual etc. but no worries we make thousands of the Kickbacks and they are workhorses and extremely reliable. Enjoy! Larry Hartke / Special Operations Hartke Systems[/quote] Had my Kickback 14 years now, use it for smaller gigs and as jam night backline, and a reliable workhorse it certainly is.

Big difference in price compared to RS cabs, eg. G.A.K. - K210 = £315, RS210 = £469

In 1973 I bought a Gibson EB3 from a local music shop that had not been in business long. He never had one in stock so rang Selmer, who sent one up the next day on which I paid for the delivery. The bass cost me £240. My brother who worked in the shop later showed me the invoice which was for £144. Not a bad profit for a phone call. Not long after the shop owner was driving around in a Rolls Royce.

Fuses can get tired after a while and just blow.

"Discoverdoublebass.com" Ok, cheers for that. I will give it a better look at tomorrow. I will enquire at the Jam night tonight of anyone giving lessons.

Well the bass arrived yesterday and what a piece of kit it is, especially for £218. I had a plonk on it, (I have never tried one before), and realised my technique is all wrong. I am trying to play it like a bass guitar. I have lowered the bridge and sorted the endpin rattle and have been looking at a few youtube lessons for tips. My left arm is now aching from holding it up. Since retiring a few years ago I have lost my arm strength through doing F' all so will have to eat more Shredded Wheat. Anyway I am quite pleased with my purchase and with a couple of hours a day practice I hope to get better at it. It is not suitable for anything I play in my band but I do a jam night and am looking to be using it in that. Oh yes, where can I find the tab for Moondance....

Just joined the club. Ordered the "Deluxe" version from Amazon, £218.00, for that price I didn't mind paying the extra £8.00 to have it delivered on Tuesday.

At a Melody Maker BOTB type thingy in the 70s, they had Miles Platting amplifiers for the backline, had to link two stacks together with everything up to 11 to get any volume out of them.

A voice we will not hear the likes of again. Rest in peace Joe.

There was also this theft a few days ago too... [url="http://www.shropshirestar.com/news/2014/12/02/20000-of-gear-stolen-from-shropshires-raymond-froggatt-band/"]Raymond Froggatt Band theft[/url]

I think it was just the last few years of USA production that they changed over to OSB (Oriented Strand Board) for their cabinets. Although the catalogue at the time I got my 610AV in 2006 said Baltic Birch Ply, on looking inside (as you do) I discovered it was OSB. Have not found it to be an issue tho'. I think when it went to the far east they resumed the ply construction. I did hear in the Marshall factory tour video that I watched last week (youtube) that the guy said they used OSB on their large bass cabs for some specific reason but didn't quite hear what it was.

Found this on Warwick forum [quote]I have a Warwick owners manual from 2000(I think) and it lists the frequencies as 2KHz & 100Hz for the 2 band and 8.5KHz,800Hz & 100Hz for the 3 band.[/quote] I have a Warwick 97/98 brochure that lists the treble @ 8KHz. No figure for bass or mid. Having both 2 and 3 band eq'd Warwicks I find the treble @ 8KHz has no real effect.
