Bloc Riff Nut

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try the pup height adjustment. If the bigger cabs dont give better bottom what is their particular quality?

I'm currently playing Yamaha 5 string (TRB1005) through a Markbass CMD102P. It sounds great until I play the low B and then it just falls away. The 10's can't handle the lowest notes. I was thinking about adding the Markbass Traveller 151P [url="http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=2&vedi=36"]http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua...t=2&vedi=36[/url] to beef up the sound. Will this be the answer to my low end woes? What do the rest of you play your low B's through?

Happy New Year,

Phil.

The story goes: Drummer and 1 of the guitarists not working. Rest of us are.

Instead of goiing to friendly and familiar territory(Ian at Airplay )
the guitarist knows someone who knows someone (2 fly -by-night dj's) who'll record us
at a cheaper price. Disaster!

Anyway, rather than upset the rest of the band who are all nice guys.
I was wondering if there is a device that's GOOD ,which will record us so that we could
put that version onto our website and if people heard that ,they could see that we are much better
than the demo cd on there at present.

If there is something, and it worked, I would leave demo on webpage but put the newer recording
on there as well so that thge rest of the band will see.....

I know line6 do something,but if there is something fairly cheap,portable,easy to use and good ,
please let me know.

We usually just hook an old minidisc up to the mixer. Easy as 1,2,3. Always thought those things were useless, now it's got a use.

Seasons greetings,

No I don't have children.
Our practice room - and the storage space where my amp is kept - is shared by 5 bands. There have never been any problems before, this may be a coincidence but 2 weeks ago a new band joined.

Is the only way you can dent/dint a dust cover by physically touching it; i.e. with a pencil , finger etc. If so I'll be taking it home with me in the future.

Christmas Greetings,

Hello,

I recently managed to suck a dent/dint/crease out of my Markbass CMD 102P. It was in the middle of the central dome-shaped thingy. I think it's called the Dust Cover. My Question is - Can this occur as a result of pushing the driver/speaker too hard? I can't see how it otherwise can occur. The protective grill has never been off and the combo sleeps in a thick leather case.

Christmas greetings,

Phil.

Hey guys thanks for the tips.

I thought the tape idea was genius. so I tried it. NOT RECOMENDED!!!!
The Markbass CMD 102P driver dust covers are made of a thick pitch-black paper. The tape didn't budge it a mm, it just took off the upper layer of paper leaving a very slightly lighter colour behind. OOPS!

So I moved on to, what to me seemed a much riskier option, the vacuum cleaner. Would it swallow my speaker whole or just tear out its heart?
Our vacuum cleaner has an adjustable power dial so I started off low. But it didn't do a thing, so I went to full power and HEY PRESTO, it sucked that baby right into shape... and then it flopped back in... so I sucked again and it flopped back in. After a tug-of-war it eventually stayed out. I'm left with some slight creases and a barely visible tape mark but it did the trick.

Greetings ,

Phil.

Please Help Meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Whilst practicing thhis morning I noticed a dent in one of the speakers ( I think you guys call them DRIVERS/new to me) of my Markbass CMD 102P.
It's in the central dome in the middle of the cone. Can this affect the performance and sound? Is it possible to remove it, I've had it open but there's no way of getting at it from behind, it's enclosed; but you already knew that, RIGHT!

Are there any tricks of the trade for removing it, maybe it can be sucked out with a vacuum or something? Just guessing 'cause I'm desperate.
How could something like this even happen? I'm really careful with my stuff and it's never been past two thirds.

Christmas greetings,

Phil.

Hey no fair.........

The green-eyed-monster, I want one right now!
People are complaining about the Look and Size.......... Big is Beautiful.

You lucky boy.

Phil.

Hey, low end lovers.

I don't know about the SYNTH but I got mail on Friday and 'The Bass Centre' said I should get my COMPRESSORE on Monday or Tuesday......
Yeah. I'll let you know what I think.

Greetings , Phil.

Hallo Bass People,

I'm thinking about importing a MIJ Jazz from 'Jo's Music Shop" in Japan.

Has anybody had any experience with these guys? ebay.com/Jos-Music-Shop
