    [quote name='chantelle' post='716181' date='Jan 17 2010, 11:23 PM']is this even if the amps turned off and also switched off at the wall that the battery will still run down?[/quote] the pin itself makes the connection, therefore yes, if the lead is plugged in to the bass, your battery is being drained T

    logic chain. plug a guitar lead into an amp input. turn on the amp with volume up a few notches, not full or even halfway. touch the end pin. should hear a hum. if you don't hear a hum, try lead in second amp that you indicate you have. touch end again. if still no hum, problem is likely to be the lead, as it's unlikley both amps are faulty (unless you have reason to suspect them too). If you get a hum from the end pin of the lead in either amp, the problem is either an intermittent fault with the lead or the bass itself. move the lead around. goes on/off ? - it's the lead. if hum is constant, the problem is that the bass is not sending a signal out. problem is now isolated to the bass. hope this helps T

    Once I get the chance to research the stuff on this thread, I may change my mind and wouldn't be at all surprised if I did given the wide experience of BC'ers generally. However, for now, I'm going to say Jeff Berlin's Dixie. I'll go away and try to work it out again now...... T

    you have mail [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='715703' date='Jan 17 2010, 02:54 PM']It is with regret that i am being forced to sell my beloved swr bass rig b/c it's got a couple of technical issues. Plus i'm no longer in a band and this is really just taking up space. The troubles are that both the speakers and amp have problems with distortion. That's about it. Everything else on both are pretty much all fine, apart from one of the hifi style banana connectors on the back of the cab has snapped off. [attachment=40361:back.JPG] [attachment=40362:newman.JPG] I'll get a pic or 2 of the amp itself a bit later. So i was thinking maybe £50 for the cab, £45 for the amp or £80 for the whole thing. Or make me an offer. Shipping is possible but it will be horrendously expensive for the cab. Thanks edd.[/quote]

    Hi Ray how you doing ? An electric piano could be a really useful one y'know. I run one through a 10 watt yamaha amp and it's fine in my flat with neighbors attached. Also goes through headphones too. T

    [quote name='mrcrow' post='714000' date='Jan 15 2010, 04:45 PM']changing tone for me is changing plucking hand position along with dynamic and rhythm change near the neck for quieter slow pieces, softer attack and sustained notes near the bridge for noiser faster licks, more attack and stacatto notes[/quote] +1 very much to this. Become a habit after years of having poor unresponsive equipement / bass and found moving that hand along was the most effective mod I could do at a moment's notice. T

    Hi folks Does anyone know if a gs 112 and a db 112 would be a good match from the same amp ? the amp could vary TBH Recently picked up an Aguilar gs112 from fretmiester that pops in around here and just wondering about the possibilities. It's reported in reviews the two cabs have slightly different characteristics. Do they compliment, or clash ? Thanks everyone T

    for getting bass practice in a 3 piece, try the police back catalogue. It'l get the drummer going too T

    Just curous really Heard my bass through a reverb box once and thought wow ! but never got around to adding one to my regular set up. Also noted Jeff Berlin in one of his vids saying he uses one. Does anyone else use one regularly ? would appreciate your thoughts Cheers ! T Edit : do you find reverb tends to work better with a certain type of sound ? i.e. more mids and highs ? ta T

    Depends where you live in Kent, but if brighton isn't too far away I would go straight to Bernie Goodfellow. Quality work, just look at the porn thread for proof T

    Picked up an Aguilar GS112 from Paul today. T'was a real pleasure, with a warm welcome after a long journey - nice one. A very approachable dude and very easy to deal with - you can deal with confidence Paul - If you come to the London bash, you're welcome 'round mine this time Cheers!!!!

    HI peeps. Been running around like a BAF last few days - travelled around to the opposite side of the M25 for a gig last night and travelled to Northampton today to pick up an Aguilar GS112 from fretmiester (gives out custard creams - MMmm. Also a good player). Will do tidy up stuff on the thread v.soon. Also looking forward to nailing down the essentials i.e. when, where etc with the comrades In the meanwhile; May your fingers always be supple T

    That's a lovely family family you have there Paul. Please give your wife and daughters a big thank - you from me for making me feel welcome. Paul - thanks to you, I've now heard an LM 11 for the first time and now have some idea what people are talking about on this forum. That model ampeg was also a first for me too, so all in all, it's been an interesting day and time well spent. By the way, nice basses too !! Made it back with half hour to spare before the darkness really came down, so timed it well for leaving. Perhaps it's just as well we didn't meet in the pub - I suspect we'd still be there now !! And my feedback for Paul; any man that greets you with custard creams has my vote - cheers Paul, well met. Top man. Some very interesting bass lines too. All the best Tom

    [quote name='Johngh' post='706051' date='Jan 8 2010, 09:26 PM']Phil Lynott's death affected me a lot as did Freddie's. It's not so much that they are dead, it's also so about all the music that was lost with them. Ya know, new tunes. I always get a bit annoyed if it's drug related though. Someone somewhere that knew them could have done something to help them,maybe. I always tend to think that the silly buggers brought their early demise on themselves.[/quote] That's what got to me. The loss of what they could have done, the music that was lost with them. T

    [quote name='fatback' post='705561' date='Jan 8 2010, 03:02 PM']i'm afraid no death moves me if i don't know the person. lack of imagination? I don't know. What i do know is that as you get older (lots of peeps say this) you have to admit to a small sense of relief that the person who's died isn't you.[/quote] Someone once said "if I'm not in the obituaries when I read the morning paper, I'm ahead" and Winston Churchill.

    [quote name='ezbass' post='705449' date='Jan 8 2010, 01:37 PM']I remember being gutted when Paul Kossof died as he was a hero of mine back then. I certainly think it's sad when anyone dies before their time, but I'm not moved like I was when I was younger. Does increased age equal an decrease in emotion?[/quote] Perhaps decreased hormone levels as we age leads to greater emotional stability ? Could equally be life experience. Or maybe still a silly old G*t so far down the pike !
