Thanks for that Ste I'm not really willing to negotiate prices on this as I've no [i]need[/i] to sell it really, but I'm more than willing to negotiate for some decent replacement cabs, even if they're not worth the same. I'm currently looking in to the Eden cabs and seeing if I can match my head's outputs / impedance to different configurations. I run an SVT-4 PRO.

So, I've bit the bullet and decided to "downgrade" my bass cab. The thing's just not practical for me and I'm currently searching for alternatives at the same quality and power. Here is the manual: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/SVT810HPC.pdf"]http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/SVT810HPC.pdf[/url] The specs:[quote]TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: TYPE 8x10 Bass Enclosure FREQ RESPONSE (+/-3dB) 50Hz – 18kHz (±3dB) USABLE LOW FREQ (-10dB) 40Hz (-10dB) RMS POWER HANDLING 1500 watts PEAK POWER HANDLING 3000 watts CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 6kHz IMPEDANCE 4 ohms SENSITIVITY 100dB SPL 1w/1m MAXIMUM SPL 131dB COMPONENTS 6 Custom Designed 200 watt cast frame 10” full range speakers 2 Custom Designed 200 watt cast frame 10” coaxial speakers with 1” HF drivers DIMENSIONS (H x W x D) 48” x 26” x 16” WEIGHT 205 lbs.[/quote] Stock photo: And a review from Harmony Central. [url="http://namm.harmony-central.com/SNAMM03/Content/Ampeg/PR/SVT-810HPC.html"]http://namm.harmony-central.com/SNAMM03/Co...SVT-810HPC.html[/url] This is the highest quality and loudest Ampeg bass cabs on the market. It handles anying up to 1500W / 3000W peak at 4ohms, has nuetrik connectors as well as TR connectors, a horn control on the back which controls two High Frequency drivers (one out of each set of 4 10" speakers). As far as I can tell, Ampeg don't sell these anymore and I can't find them anywhere first or second hand. If anyone decides to do research and finds them anywhere, please let me know. This cab has been gigged... 4 of the speakers have been replaced, and there are a few scuff / scratch marks on the tolex (one rather large one), but it still works as new and it's got a bloody lovely tone. I was considering keeping it for my recording studio, but most people bring in their own amps anyway. Been told this particular cab has been used by the following artists, but of course, I can't be sure [quote]Robin Guy - drummer for Bruce Dickinson solo project from Iron maiden, also played drums for Faith no More on TOTP 1998. Now plays for Rachel Stamp Jarvis Cocker - the guy from Pulp who everyone knows Stan armstrong - from The Dickies, massive punk band The Bass player from The Smiths - cant remember his name. Paul McGuigan - Ex Oasis bass player now does session work with abbey road studios. My Chemical Romance Tour and was also used buy Hunter from AFI as his f***ed up in Berlin a few others but you will get bored,[/quote] I'm looking for £1,200 ovno. I can provide pictures of it if you want, and will deliver anywhere between Blackpool & Manchester for free (as long as the offer is reasonable). If interested, or you want to give it a go, give me a call on 07740 354453.

Shure Wireless System

Done a search, but not found anything specific on extended range bases... I use an Ibanez 6 string tuned BEADGC and I'm looking to move to wireless so I can put a bit more of a show on Therefore I need a wireless kit that can handle 15Hz - 300Hz (I think that's around the highest my bass will hit on the last string of the high C?) and doesn't affect my tone. Price not an issue... needs to be easily available in the UK - been recommended kits that you can only get hold of in America - no use to me really! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks!

When I wrote that, I knew I'd regret it Yeah I agree - but the problem is I don't have too much money to keep spending on compressors till I've found one I like, and no-one around here has many in stock!

I base a lot of my compressor opinion on this article: [url="http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html"]http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html[/url] And here's the review for thr 3630: [url="http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html#3630"]http://www.ev-b.com/compressors.html#3630[/url] Not so great

I had a GT6-B for about 2.5 years... sold it to the man above (Ste_m3) about 3 days ago. Kinda regretting it, but at the same time I just had no use for all the features. The GT6-B is a damn good pedal... there's more to it than you initially think - it literally allows you to chain anything to anything, in any order, save it, recall it, assign even SINGLE parameters to each pedal / the expression pedal etc... even save different settings for different songs. If you have the time and the patience to set it up, it can do almost anything for you. You can even record a bass loop, have it play back then maybe play something over it in a higher octave / with a different effect... brilliant! The only reason I sold it is I just don't use it to it's full potential + the effects aren't as good as the very few single pedals I'd need. If anyone needs any specific help on it, ask away / PM me - I'll try my best It did take me a while to master the thing... and it's very easy to completely break a patch without thinking about it!

I'm looking to spend as much as needed on a compressor - split between getting a rack mounted unit or a pedal. I've tried a few pedals out, none of them have been what I'm looking for just yet... Any recommendations? I'm going to be using it sparingly, as a boost during solos / middle sections... been recommended a Demeter compulator or an EBS Multicomp already, but they're very hard to get hold of in the UK...
-
Thanks! And oh yeah, certainly not new to GAS ;P It's a term I've been well and truely in bed with for a few years now... keeps getting the cold shoulder, but it's back again at the moment for pedals :| Damn it!

Hey all, Been recommended this site by a friend, Stephen - I'm currently registered on talkbass.com and I run www.blackpoolbands.co.uk. I play in a band called "Hind-D" based in Blackpool - after 2 years of looking we've finally got a singer so we will be gigging big time again soon Check us out on www.hindd.co.uk or www.myspace.com/hindd. We're hard rock / metal, and will be getting some vocals on our tracks very soon (recording this weekend). Looking for gig swaps, so if anyone likes our stuff, give me a PM I also run a studio at my house - 24 channel Sountracs desk and 2x8x8 M-Audio Delta 1010's running Neundo 3. Various mics etc... My set up is as follows: Ampeg SVT-4 PRO Head Ampeg 810HPC 8x10 bass cab Ibanez BTB 556MP 6 string bass (main) Fender Jazz Active Deluxe 4 string (back up) Just sold my Boss GT6-be and I'm moving on to single pedals. Currently got: * Line6 Echo Park Looking to buy (asap): * Compressor Pedal (EBS MultiComp OR Demeter Compulator) * Tuner (Korg Rackmount or Korg Pedal) * Some really, really nice distorition for metal. Tried the following distortion / fuzz pedals: * Ken Multi Fuzz MFZ-7 * All the distortion settings on the GT6-be - only one, low rumbly fuzz with the bass turned all the way to +50, is near to what I want * EHX Big Muff Russian (currently for sale) * EHX Big Muff USA Want something that's got a lot of low end, and cuts through... I'm a bit of a gear whore, as you can probably tell by now ;P Too long for a first post? Ahhhh... sorry ;P
