one amp and 2 4x10"s so I can use 1 cab for gigs with PA support and bring the doom for the rock stuff

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1003291' date='Oct 28 2010, 07:47 AM']I`ve bought this book, and it has bucket loads of info on this: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Bass-Illustrated-History/dp/0634026402/ref=sr_1_14?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1288248359&sr=1-14"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Bass-Illust...359&sr=1-14[/url][/quote] That's the one I have. Very useful and interesting as well as showing pictures of some beautiful and rare models - Bound neck maple fretless Jazz anyone?

As part of their New Year sale at the beginning of the year they were advertising SVT IIs for £800 so I thought, brilliant, just finished the Christmas gigs, big pile of money, I'll have one of those. I emailed them to see if they had any and the guy responded by saying that he doubted that they would get any in - well don't advertise something at a fantastic price that you can't sell.

Right, just back from the gig. when the boost was full on it was so close to what I wanted but I just needed that tiny bit more so am going to have a look out for a mild overdrive pedal to just take it over the edge cos at the minute its Close to the Edge

I used to split my signal between guitar and bass amp when I had the 12 string and did exactly that and it was very good.

Hmm, its possible that I may already own the solution to this. Whilst browsing the GK manual, all of the suggested settings for different sounds feature the boost control at the 12 o'clock position so I've just plugged my amp in with one of the cabs and cranked the boost control up and its really dirty. Jeez I've used these amps for so long I never realised they could go that dirty. What an idiot. I'm going to try it out at tonight's gig to see what it sounds like at gig volumes.

Has anyone else noticed that most online shops have no or little stock of anything Behringer right now and most are quoting estimated arrival as next year? This thread is not to bash Behringer, merely to see if anyone knows anything.

There's a guy on Ebay selling ready made PCBs I don't like to derail but I will anyway How easy is it going to be to attach everything else to this such as pots, jacks etc? [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/icecreamterror/m.html"]http://shop.ebay.co.uk/icecreamterror/m.html[/url] Sounds like a good idea for someone like me who's confident soldering pots but with no experience of PCBs and 10 thumbs

every time - I took one of mine out briefly during last year's Motorhead gig. Deary Jesus, it was hellishly loud. totally unbearable. There must've been a lot of deaf people in Glasgow for a good few days after that one

The Rickenbacker 4004LK couldn't be further from the one he became famous for using. Fair enough he plays this one live now but the age old question is - is Lemmy's original one real? I don't think anyone's had a close enough look at it to see if it is. i may have a chance to ask in a couple of weeks time.

I buy stuff from these guys from time to time. They do a lot of different printable paper. [url="http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/"]http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/[/url] In fact my Goth T-Bird now has a white scratchplate which is simply white matt adhesive paper with the bicentennial Bird on it stuck over the original

Definitely. If I was closer I;d have it. One thing you'll need to be careful of is that you may not be able to add a second cab as its 4 ohms and most amps only go as low as 4ohms. Richardd is selling a Peavey amp for peanuts. He;s in Lincoln but I'm sure couriering it would be dooable as they go down to 2ohms so you could add a second 4 ohm cab in the futue if you needed it

[quote name='sockdeluxe_mikey' post='1001773' date='Oct 26 2010, 09:40 PM']I've got a very good feeling about it![/quote] I had a very good feeling about my Rickenbacker 4003 and my Warwick Thumb NT5 and my Modulus Flea and, well you get the picture. Heard it all before Still, nothing beats the thrill and anticipation of having something new and shiny winging its way to you, for about 5 minutes

Its unfortunate that most of the time with players such as these all you get to see/hear is a huge w***fest and there's probably few have heard them playing 'regular' stuff. As I've heard Billy Sheehan say before, he's paid to be the bass player yet all you see on Youtube are those solos and people get fed up with them forgetting that they actually play 'bass' bass Wasn't Mr Big's biggest hit 'To Be With You Again'? So simple and no widdles

Alternatively, second hand £700 will get you all of the below: Epiphone Thunderbird Squier VM Jazz Fretless Yamaha BB605 Crafter acoustic 18 sets of Hartke Strings One for every occasion.

I once received a 1979 Rickenbacker 4000 in an old gig bag with a broken zip held together by brown tape. Amazingly it was still in one piece. For me it depends if I have cardboard available - what I do have is bubblewrap. Because I do so much buying and selling I buy 100m rolls of it. Normally to pack the bass inside the box but sometimes I put loads round the hardcase

don't worry about it. What you effectively have now is 3 units in one box - a preamp, a poweramp and a speaker cabinet. that's why its called a combo. 9 times out of 10 when you hear someone talking about a head or an amp what they are referring to is a preamp and a poweramp in one box [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Gallien-Krueger-700RB-II~ID~4163.asp"]This is mine[/url] Amps are given an output in watts with a minimum impedence. What that means is to get the full output from the amp you will need to have the equivelant impedence in your speaker cabinet but you don;t always need the full output. An amp with a minimum impedence of 4ohms means that you can either connect 1 4ohm speaker or 2 8 ohm speakers and that will allow the amp to put out its full power. The impedence is written on a plate on the back of the cab. [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown---MAG-410-T---Deep-Cab~ID~2054.asp"]These are the cabs that I use[/url] albeit mine are the older version with the carpet covering and steel grill If I am playing a low volume gig, eg where we are using a full PA then I only need to use 1 cab. The amp will be running at 8ohms so will only be able to put out 300 watts. If I am playing a rock gig then I will take both to get the full output from the amp

no they're only on the OC-3. The OC-2 is analogue and comes complete with warbles. The OC-3 is polyphonic so you can play chords and it does octave up and down as far as I remember as well as distortion
