Salt on your Bass?

What's you're band man? We're in the same battle - week before you though [quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1392075127' post='2364509'] Played a kind of battle of the bands thing at the Purple Turtle in Camden, North London last night. Four great bands (and my lot). A night made much more memorable when the stage caught fire! There are a couple of fans under the stage that I assume are there for the smoke machine, but one of them went up in flames as the headline act were partway through a song. The bar staff were useless, wandering off to find the manager once they realised what was going on, so I had to vault over the bar and grab a fire extinguisher. Passed it to one of the promoters who then put the fire out. [/quote]

I think there's an ibanez phat hed in effects that isn't too bad as well I think that's in your price range

Really enjoyed that man! Nice aural assault and a really good mix! I'll look you guys up on Facebook.

Received my Grand tarkin the other day. Still to play it but a pic below. Tom changed the frequency response of the clean blend to allow addition of pure low-end under the fuzz. Looking forward to running this with the band!

Order a cig custom and spec it yourself Tom is pretty helpful, May be able to do something for you. My tarkin comes with extra Bass!

I've often thought a cab with a hole for an axle would be a really good idea to move cabs around - slide in the axle, pun the wheels then off you go, then slide out at the venue. Could also come as a retro fit perhaps. I have a similar sack trolley and it's great for public transport - giggled recently taking my big twin two Ashdown head, pedal board and Bass. A little guard work on steps but a collapsible wouldn't get close! Nice handle by the way!!!!

So what's wrong with something like these?? I'm genuinely asking about the cons http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Jack-Jack-PRO-Patch-Cable-15cm-Pack-of-6/GCG

Ta da! Need Velcro and won't be Running it with the band fir a few weeks yet, apologies for the small pic!

Happy fuzz day! (for yesterday!) - took receipt of my Cog Grand Tarkin to celebrate, which is likely to bully my sfx micro fuzz of my board......

I'm a bit out of my depth on this but I'd imagine a ported design to perform differently to a sealed enclosure. I owned a 410 abm with an evoii and couldn't get it biting enough in the minds for my taste and I play a little scooped I think. Nit really much help I'm afraid but I'd see if there's a bc'er local perhaps to try one out, or buy second hand sensibly and shift it on once you've ab'd it perhaps.

thanks tayste, interesting read, albeit a shaky start! interesting about the noise vs the meatbox, ive not really noticed the DoD being particularly noisy in my chain.

Mr a was simple defending a bit of a harsh statement, and nicely so as his response was acknowledged by the poster as fair points. Anyway, I like the sentiment of this thread. My abm evo ii is running lovely!

Ah, cool. Well look forward to how it runs out loud then

+1! Hoping mines a couple of weeks away now as well!!

Yeah that's whats put me off going for the hulk so far - the 'smoothness' rather than the dirtier octave. I like the meatbox a lot and its become a pretty bog standard in a lot of our songs for parts. Interesting they do runs of 10 - My email last week was replied to saying they only had one prototype to sell and itd be on ebay shortly.... :/

I'm interested in what you make of it as a direct comparison. I prefer the other mantic finishes personally rather than the close to the dod finish. Just my preference though. Looking forward to more update! Have you played other mantics? I've been liaising withem a little recently. Was this the last prototype they had?

Anyone know if anyone ever manufactured these? I have a massive urge to get hold of one - had the urge for about 9 months and reckon I can just about get away with it!

That's a nice kick in the face for a Tuesday morning man!! Enjoyed it a lot. Not really any more feedback I'm afraid other than thanks! (And I'm gasing for matamp )

Yeah seems to be going strong, regular live music and the bar staff seem to enjoy themselves which is always good. Yeah, not too far, it was the steps up off the platform that were the biggest challenge!! Guess I'm not 23 anymore!! Ha ha!

Played George ii in Luton last night. Our second gig and went really well. Crowd got into it which is always good and got some great compliments from random punters which is always nice! I was pretty ambitious taking my rig on a train but managed it (just!). Big twin 2 Ashdown abm pedal board and Bass. On a trolley and hard work, but all good. Probably wouldn't do it again in a hurry though!! Next stop metal 2 the masses tonight in Camden!

More feedback when you do please! I'm considering a move to valve in the future and Ashdown are in my shortlist!
