Don't have one but always fancied one of the Mandobirds [url="http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=42177p5280605.jpg"][/url] Very folk 'n roll

[quote name='escholl' post='440542' date='Mar 20 2009, 06:46 PM']my amplifier just has one great big f**k-off watt in it. ^_^ equivalent to 250 normal watts of course. Back on topic, it seems like Epifani have created a solution for people who only know enough about electronics to not know what they're doing. My guess is, it will be very popular in America. I wonder what their next "innovation" will be? A [s]VU[/s] "power usage" meter built into the cab?[/quote] I bet they're weeing themselves over on Talkbs

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='440519' date='Mar 20 2009, 06:18 PM']I do remember one poster who claimed his watts were louder than everyone else's.[/quote] What? WoT's watts? I thank you

This is how I have mine when I use it as a monitor When I use it for my out front sound,I just anglethe stand slightly higher than vertical This is from the end of last year before I sold the GK and bought the Shuttle. I have the Shuttle bolted to a bracket below the cab but haven't got round to taking any pics yet

That's exactly what I was going to get Martin Sims to do with the 2 tone '51 reissue that i had before i decided to go down the Warmoth route. Except mine would've been Daphne Blue nitro - don't know I ended up going with gold.

Looks almost brand new - I wonder what the 4 offers were? Wouldn't catch me with a gold sparkly bass. You'd have to be a show-off to own one of those

Cool. thanks for that. I'll probably just take my own gear as well. Its taken me long enought to get my sound without fiddling with something I've never tried before. Plus, if its an SVT III then its only solid state - an SVT II May have been another story. I'll let my guitarist know about the Marshalls although he'll probably still want to take his Peavey 5150 combo.

My rock band is due to play there next month and apparently there is some gear there for bands to use but I'm not sure exactly what there is. I'll still be taking my usual gear with me but thought I'd check in case it was decent stuff - I'd heard mention of Ampeg but don't know what the likelyhood of a pub in Dunfermline having an SVT head and 8x10" is. If anyone here has played there, could you let me know what to expect? Cheers

We're doing the opposite to you. My rock band is about to become a wedding/function band. I still have my main wedding band and the guys know that it takes priority and they are happy with that. We're looking to be playing the weddings in the main wedding season and the rock stuff at the other times of the year. How about picking the title of a track or a line from a track that you do? That's how i got the name for our rock band

one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, etc etc

Yip, mine are dead as fried chicken and my new Optimas haven't arrived in time for tonight's gig. I only bought them as they were all my local shop had at short notice. Give them a week or 2 and they'll go from zingy to sounding like someone has a pillow held against your strings

You [b][i]can[/i][/b] use a shuttle with just headphones and no speaker connected

I had one of the compact 15" cabs and replaced the standard 200w Celestion speaker with a 300w one. I didn't really make it any louder but eliminated the slight distortion I was getting by over driving the original one. The 4x10" cabs have 32 ohm drivers if i remember correctly - in fact someone posted a link here somewhere about a company selling the original spec drivers which might help if yours are past it.

I was actually thinking about this the other night. I still intend to buy a all valve amp in the future and was thinking about what I would like one to be like. I would really like something smaller and lighter than normal if that's possible. Simple controls. I like a tuner out so that i can mute the sound onstage to tune up. Something that i can bias myself. About 400w. I would have to agree about keeping it black - crazy colour schemes are all the rage but I for one am not a fan of orange or yellow - they are not manly colours. A retro logo like White or Matamp had would be cool.

The whole point of Jon Anderson's lyrics are not that they make sense or tell a story, they simply fit into the song. I'd have to agree about CS getting 'his' sound on any bass. I can a get a similar sound on my gold bass but never could on an actual Ric

I absolutely love Larry and GCS. The whole reason I slap the way I do. None of your Mark King 24th Fret widdly widdly widdly widdly bits. Always just behind the pickup.YOu can totally vary the sound from there

I'd jump at the chance to play in a Genesis tribute band, especially that era with Peter gabriel.

Fantastic. I love Stanley and Lenny together. Kind of back to the Return to Forever days but more modern if you catch my drift. I love Stanley's DB work

Flea used to use the DOD Envelope Filter. There's a shot of it on his video with River Pheonix. I had one but couldn't get anything usable out of it

[quote name='YouMa' post='427618' date='Mar 6 2009, 09:56 PM']Smoke some drugs.[/quote] Exactamundo. I find that if I am lacking, I see what other people are listening to. Watch someone like Bill Dickens . I'll never play anything like it but I laugh my ass off listening to it cosits so damn fast. Get on Youtube. I can spend days on there listening to stuff. I could begin with Stanley Clarke and end up at Bon Scott era AC/DC

You need to get out more I have a cunning plan when I find out

I've got one of the little behringer ones for sale in the other items section. I've not bumped it for a while but its in there somewhere. Its one of these ones [url="http://www.technokit.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=ZB108&source=froogle"]http://www.technokit.co.uk/proddetail.php?...;source=froogle[/url]

[quote name='JackLondon' post='427438' date='Mar 6 2009, 06:32 PM']I was looking for something like a suitcase on wheels that can fit both of those things and I can just wheel it behind me which would make it easier during rush-hour on the Tube. Cheers Jack[/quote] Er, have you thought about getting a suitcase on wheels? One of the hard ABS or whatever they're made of ones. You'll get the usual 'you going on holiday after the gig?' comments from your bandmates but it'll make things easier. I used one briefly but it was cheap pish and I snapped the handle off it.

I believe its the same except the 'a' model is in the sleeve and the non 'a' model has to be rack mounted. The 'a' model can still be removed and rack mounted provided you buy the rack ears. I had the HA5500 which is the higher powered version of this amp Have you seen the megathread on here about the LH500? more power and less fiddly buttons and stuff.
