  1. My GT6b is on the blink and there are several GT-10b units for sale on ebay from Japan. how are they still getting these when they are a discontinued product? My query is, they must be years old so wont the internal battery have lost some of its capacity or does it not come into play until it starts being used?
    Extortionate price too because they know there's not been a new Boss multi-fx for bass since.
    Would be great if there was a GT100b!

  2. Thanks Noirbass but I'm a bit dim when it comes to techie stuff so dont understand that either...lol. I would have to sit down and work out how to assign the effects I want to a user patch and write. Our guiutarist has the guitar version so ive asked him to bring it along and see if I get on with it.
    I've just put up a post in Effects section asking whether its worth me buying a GT10b as they must be 7+ years old. My GT6B is a doddle to programme but I think its on its way out as I noticed the name change in the LED display. Read somewhere its likley to be the controller or battery.

  3. Hi, the only multi-fx I've ever used is the GT6b. I love it and am familiar with how to programme my own sounds, use the tuner & have a manual setting so I'm getting the sound/tone of just my amp.
    Whilst playing[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] I noticed the name in the LED display[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] began to automatically change from manual to speaker and back again. Although the sound did not change I guess its on its way out.
    The ME50b doesnt look like it doesnt allow for the programming of my own sounds that can be saved in user banks/patches and I need that.
    I'm not technical so need a unit that is simple to use & will allow me to write more than 5 effects into ONE user patch.[/font][/color]
    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]If I bought a GT10b second hand am I likely to get the same problem as they must be around 7 yrs old now?[/font][/color]
    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cant believe Roland arent producing a GT100b.[/font][/color]
    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Any ideas appreciated.[/font][/color]

  4. Appreciate the reply but page 54 isnt exactly a simple explanation. I just need something on the lines of:
    Press pedal assign, select manual setting on bank 1, pedal 1, press write.
    Thats how simple I need it.
    :0)

  5. You posted the quotes below and then put up videos to show how to do a complete set up. I think they suggest a set up should be done each time you change the strings??

    [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][color=#282828]Even with the same gauges and same make and model of string you will likely need to do a setup.[/color][/i][/font][/size]
    [size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][color=#282828]If they are a different make of string and still the same gauge then you are extremely likely to need to do a full setup.[/color][/i][/font][/size]
    [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I rarely change strings but if I do I would do a setu[/i][/font]p.[/size][/font][/color]

  6. I was going to say, I dont know anyone who does that. I do check my intonation regularly and its never been out no matter what strings I've had on the bass. I mustve misunderstood your post which said:
    [i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]I rarely change strings but if I do I would do a setup. I'd also redo or check the setup every now and then anyway without new strings.[/size][/font][/color][/i]

  7. Hi all,
    I have 3 basses and have tried different brands and gauges over the past few yrs. My problem is I cant remember what I last put on my Musicman. Could be either of the following:
    40,60,80,100
    45,65,80,100
    45,65,85,105
    The local music shops have technicians but they dont have a micrometer or calipers to measure what gauge is already on this bass. One said it shouldnt matter if I use any of those gauges as there's not much difference. is that correct? Will the intonation be out or muck up the neck?

    The other said they would be able to give a rough idea. What?? I'd like to know how they can tell 0.05 of a millimeter difference!!

    No known luthiers in the area so any advice would be appreciated.

  8. Hi, Ive checked the post about hums and buzzing but not found an answer to my issue. Basically I keep getting a low hum from my speaker cab at various venues. We are a 5 piece band of 2 guitars, electronic kit, vox and bass who use a backline set up so dont DI or go through a PA. I've eliminated it being leads as I've changed them for new, Ive tried other amp heads and basses both active and passive but the hum still appears now and again. All my gear is relatively new (Markbass amp & cab, basses include Musicman, Fender and 2 Ibanez. Klotz leads and Speakon cables from obmm. We always use RCD's and check wiring wiring is ok by using a mains socket tester before plugging in. Its not wall lights/dimmers etc as in some places where its happening there are none. Someone suggested a power conditioner but Ive since been told this wont necessarily resolve the issue. Could it be a grounding problem and if so will it harm my gear? How do I eliminate it without putting myself in danger by switching on the groundlift? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

  9. We've just auditoned for a replacement guitarist and this is what we expect:
    First of all: Be on time or early! Be well prepared with songs & learn more than they asked you to! Nothing worse for a band who's paid for studio hire than having someone turn up and waste their time with a half hearted attempt. Be organised with gear. Ask to do a quick soundcheck so you are not too loud or quiet. Dont fiddle in between songs or play with head down; look like you are willing to communicate when playing. Don't brag or seem desperate. Ask questions about expectations of the band commitment, contribution, bookings who does what and dont mention fees til the end or they will think you are only in it for the cash.
