Love mine, especially modded to use the old LM308 chip as per the original Rats.

I think Caleb Schofield (Cave In, Old Man Gloom) uses one on his board for bass along with a Fulltone Fulldrive.

Google says full size. Pics when I find the camera to computer cable in my tip of a room...

Edit - Spoke too soon, found it.

Antoni ACV 30 for sale, not used much. I thought the move from guitar to violin would be easy. It wasn't! Bow is missing a few hairs but good condition otherwise. Comes with case, pitch pipes and a new tub of rosin as I lost the old one.

£30 + P&P

A friend is selling off the following:-

Full set of Control DC5 Drum mics w. hardcase - £70 + P&P (RRP £179)

TC Helicon Create vocal pedal, boxed - £80 + P&P (RRP £159)

PM me if you're interested.

I always use the following pattern as a warm-up, one finger per fret on the l/h, one finger per note on the right:-

a|----------1-2--1-2-3|
e|1-2-3-4------4------|

Start off slow and clean and build up speed and move it up/down the fretboard and across the neck. Helps synchronise your left and right hands too.

Try playing it backwards too!

I've recently bought a nice Streamer Pro-M off here and my bank account is looking a little bit sad. Add that to my cars MOT coming up, I'm looking at selling off some stuff, including my Rockbass Corvette.

It's black and active (bass, treble, pickup blend and volume controls), condition is pretty good apart from a couple of very minor dings and the usual belt rash on the back (odd as I don't wear belts). The output jack is also a little crackly but I'm thinking I can fix that with some contact cleaner.

Collection preferred as it doesn't have a case and I hate post-office queues with a passion.

I'm thinking around the £200 mark, pics to follow if anyone's interested.

With the triplets, you should be counting once for every three note grouping, but you are tapping the same pattern.

Hang in there!

Peace

Aargh, it's suprisingly difficult, even on the 16th notes!

It feels like it's doing my rythm skills some good so I'll keep at it.

[quote name='Joe Hubbard Bass' post='950754' date='Sep 9 2010, 03:56 PM']Hi Gareth

Are you able to tap and count the beats with the paradiddle pattern at 16th notes?

Peace

Joe[/quote]

Yeah, counting at each hit. Or should i be counting once per 4 hits?

[quote name='Joe Hubbard Bass' post='950429' date='Sep 9 2010, 11:40 AM']This time you will tap the same paradiddle pattern, except instead of playing them in 16th note you will play them in 8th note triplets.[/quote]

So where do the counts go in relation to the taps? Sorry, my knowledge of timing is notoriously flaky.

Swap it for the one on Stus amp when he isn't looking.

Are you wanting it so you can do this?

That looks amazing. Wish I was better at woodwork, I'd be able to cure my EUB GAS all by myself!

Thanks, I'm using the programmable DI so I assume the XLR out is designed for running into a PA while the 1/4 output can drive a regular amp front end.

I'm not very in the know about power amps but I assume Matamp, Peavey and Mackie would be good choices.

Welcome Dave!

As I understand it, if you run your amp at 4 ohms into an 8 ohm cab it will drop the power output to around 300 watts. If you're careful on the volume knob you shouldn't blow anything up.

The better option would be to get a higher rated cab as you should ideally match head and cab ohmages. My working knowledge of cabs is pretty poor, I'm sure someone on here will give you some good recommendations.

I've been considering this for a while. Now I've discovered how great my Sansamp DI sounds I'm tempted to get a reasonable 3-500w power amp and using it for gigs where there will be a cab. Purchasing my own cab is further down the line.

Is this possible? Any recommendations as to power amp makes if so?

[quote name='jezzaboy' post='945443' date='Sep 4 2010, 03:17 PM']Why not put it into the effects return jack socket and all you are using the amp is for the power side only and the SA is doing all the tone shaping. That`s what I do and it`s the biz.

Jez[/quote]

I don't think it has an effects return but there is a 'Power amp in' input which I assume will do the same job. I'll give it a whirl!

[quote name='umph' post='873065' date='Jun 20 2010, 10:22 PM']Amazing amps these! shame its not one of the pow ones or i'd have this off you no questions asked.[/quote]

You spoke to Adam from Flatlands? I don't know is his is still knocking around. Needs a little TLC (the amp, not Adam).

You know, just saying.

Had my first proper practice tonight with the Sansamp and wow, through my practice amp, a Peavey TKO (or is it a TNT?) it sounded amazing. I wasn't even driving the amp hard but the sound filled the room. Just put the EQ on as flat as possible and used the amps volume controls. I totally underestimated the difference it would make. If you can try one out, you'll want one!

[quote name='throwoff' post='941837' date='Sep 1 2010, 10:58 AM']I think the stock bridge is pretty sound but I am putting a Schaller 3D on!

I have some mad ideas for this, thinking about putting a 3 band MEC EQ in and then either Duncans or Bartolinis.

Also a huge part of me wants to sand off the finish and oil it but I am not sure I am brave enough, the flame maple is only a thin veneer (5mm I believe) and I wouldnt want to get over zealous and wreck it![/quote]

I meant nut, not bridge. I am an idiot.

You going to replace the placcy bridge?

Not gear but we saw a very small band on a self financed tour walking around their hometown branch of Primark, mid-tour, sporting homemade tour laminates. That was 2 years ago and it still makes us laugh.

I also got laughed at in Coventry for playing a very old school looking Matamp by some screamo kids with Marshall Valvestate heads. I won.

[quote name='Johnston' post='940256' date='Aug 30 2010, 07:37 PM']Wasn't Kylies famous gold hotpants from a charity shop??[/quote]

And now they're worth millions.

Nothing wrong with rocking the vintage look, I picked up a tweed jacket for £15 that looks the busniess and own various hideous 70's shirts for playing live in.

[quote name='Wil' post='934910' date='Aug 24 2010, 03:46 PM']I dont know if that's the best band name ever or the worst band name ever [/quote]

I can answer that question: best

[quote name='Clarky' post='940344' date='Aug 30 2010, 08:42 PM']I have a DI box for precisely this reason but it would have been simpler to have it all wrapped into one, space-saving pedal[/quote]

Yeah, bit of an oversight on Sansamps part really. Shame you can't get it without shelling out for the Deluxe version.
