i have two of these cabs. never had any problems at all.

[quote name='JackLondon' post='761655' date='Mar 2 2010, 11:23 AM']It looks fairly simple to acomplish, you can however expand on this project and put in a sound sensor as well which would react to the music being played, sort of a effect of flashing disco lights.[/quote] this is pretty much what i'm after. how would i supply the signal to the unit without losing my signal totally? i know i' said i'm thinking of a 'side chain' but how could i build that?

i was hoping you guys could help with stuff like that

this is it: i was going to change the jack plug for a 1/4" socket, and run it from what i would describe as a side chain. any ideas?

for my main gigging band, i normally have two drives, wah and chorus. one drive the boss md2 (atm) for big thick audioslave type chunk, the ibanez weeping demon for swells, screams, and other similar noises, and another drive ( I'm going through a bit of a transition with that at the mo - nothing seems to get the 'right' sound i'm looking for), and chorus for duff esque lines. my church board will vary from week to week, as i put a board together according to the setlist. Normally i'll have something like the bad monkey, a BBM, wah, chorus, filter (micro q tron currently), sometimes the syb 5 with exp pedal, a di/ pre - either the hartke vxl or MXR M80, sometimes a delay will creep in for those floydy ambient type things. an octave has been known before, but that too is under review atm (perhaps a BOD on the horizon!) most of these have appeared after reading here or bassworld previous to that, and harmony central / talkbass. Bear in mind i also used to work in MI retail, so plenty came via that route!

hi guys, i want to build a sound to light unit that i can plug into. i've found a drawing which i think should work. It uses a 12v circuit, but i want to power it using a 9v battery. is this going to be a problem? as far as i see it i'm going to need a box to allow me to take a feed from the main signal, but without losing the main line, in order to make it work is this going to be a simple - ish job? sorry for so many questions!

the key word here is bash!

once he's set his drums up, make sure you have a good old bash around his kit and see how he likes it! preferably whilst he's stood there too

hi. in my surfing around i found this: [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ashdown-Bass-OMeter-Dedicated-Bass-Tuner-Pedal/CGB"]http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/...Tuner-Pedal/CGB[/url] it doesn't seem to be listed on tghe ashdown site, and the details given here are a mixture of seemingly differing ads! anyone heard anything about this yet?

Having played the amp in the stompbox shop, it's a fantastic piece of kit. It sounds tight, punchy, versatile, and generally pretty awesome. If fundage was better, i'd be thinking on this for smaller understated gigs over my Marshall 8x10 stack!

Give Richard at effects power suplies.com a call. He's a very knowledgeable chap and always keen to help. [url="http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/power-supplies-8-c.asp"]http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/power-supplies-8-c.asp[/url]

speaking as someone who lives in gravesend, i would just like to say that not everyone in this place is as execrable as this sorry excuse for a bass player.

generally speaking i enjoy my deans trememndously. the necks are usually very comfortable, and the passive pick ups sound great i have two active instruments that get a lot of use, and three passive basses. All in all though i think Dean are really great value for money, with some great styling, and altogether very versatile. Don't let some of the funny shapes put you off!!!

Cable for my X2 arrived safely, and perfctly made! you're a star dude! Cheers

for cost effective fuzziness, the Bass big muff can't be beaten really. as far as envelope filters go, there are so many variations around the theme it's staggering!

if you are looking for a qotsa type sound - the tech 21 vt bass will get you close to Nick Oliveri's sound, although i see you have ampeg gear already! wah wise there are what i would class as prime candidates (Dunlop 105Q, Morley dual bass wah, and Ibanez weeping demon) in terms of mass produced choices, and plenty of more boutique options. really it's a case of try as many as you can and then make your decision based on what your ears tell you. you tube offers lots of clips of these in action, which might give you some idea where to start.

just wanted to say that we made it to the shop today, and found Richard to be a great person to deal with. the shop is well worth checking out. the pedal lines he carries at the moment are well worth the trip, let alone those soon to be arriving! I'll certainly be heading out there again before too long - once the coffers are refilled a bit!

i see it's a tramp - the amp or....

top dude! just bought his X2 great comms, friendly chap. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again

Jacklondon - That board looks great. where did you get the sound reactive light from? Is it your design? I hope you're getting well paid for that board!

great stuff Richard we're looking to pop up on monday. what are your hours? cheers

ibanez weeping demon. probably the one of the most adjustable mass produced wahs on the market. switching manually or automatic, switching delay (on auto setting), adjustable treadle tension, volume, Q, Bass level etc... good with guitar, but awesome with bass. best of all it retails at about £110 well worth a good try.
