But it did have the effect of lengthening the "maybe a couple more months practice before I look to find a band" - I have an extremely low embarassment threshold, unlike this kid! edit:typo[/quote] The most important thing is to get out there and start doing it... start mixing with people, surround yourself with people better than you - it will elevate your player quicker than you could ever imagine... otherwise you'll just turn into yet another bedroom player. Granted, practice... but you got to have something to practice for.

Ha ha. Indeed. Who's is the GK then? I only know one person I know to have one of these and as far as I recall, it's still pumping out the bass! It's a shame it's not 10s he looking after... I've got a whole ruck of those sitting spare.

No probs. Cool little combos.

Here you go. This is the like for like original replacement. [url="http://www.beyerdynamiconline.com/Product.asp?Prd=082%2D0039%2D0"]http://www.beyerdynamiconline.com/Product....=082%2D0039%2D0[/url]

[quote name='bassbluestew' post='1357206' date='Aug 31 2011, 09:47 AM']Thanks for that JTUK, my point exactly. Who is going to want a noisy mute switch, you just wouldnt use it. Have to say a big plus is the quick response from Marco. S[/quote] Hmm. Seems like a bit of an oversight I agree. Hopefully there is a quick and easy mod that can be done to rectify the problem.

[quote name='Herbie The Rad Dorklift' post='1356099' date='Aug 30 2011, 11:32 AM']My rig is as follows: Markbass Mini CMD121p Sandberg MM2 That's it! I'm using a Boss TU-2 (Soon to get a Polytune as I prefer it), and use the DI out on the amp. I'm after anything to make my sound "better", so I'm thinking EQ pedal? Compressor? Sonic Stomp? What are your never-leave-home-without pedals? I play in a pop rock band, and I EQ my bass pretty flat at the moment (All dials at 12 o'clock on the amp, the 2 filter knobs off for now as I haven't experimented with them, both humbucker pickups on the bass and flat bass EQ).[/quote] If you aren't happy with your core tone, no pedal is going to fix that for you. If you are looking for more smoother even tone, a compressor would be the obvious choice. Have you got any sound clips of tones you are trying to achieve, that may help.

[quote name='dood' post='1355370' date='Aug 29 2011, 04:20 PM']Hey Daz! Well - unbelievable as it might be - no, I actually have no leads on this year's show! - That said, I've been pretty damn busy these last few months and hadn't gotten as far as planning my BassDay. I've got some amazing news to spill soon which will hopefully be great for us Bass Players - sorry I can't say anything yet! If I remember to, I'll see if I can find out what's happening this year! Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood[/quote] I've got some amazing news too. But you'll have to wait.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1355129' date='Aug 29 2011, 12:02 PM']I'm getting a rattle from my tweeter in my Ampeg 410HLF, I've taken the grille off I can't find any loose screws. Any ideas?[/quote] Is the diaphragm in the tweeter itself f*cked?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1352555' date='Aug 26 2011, 03:15 PM']And THD, that is kind of an important one.[/quote] Absolutely!

Feck me, there's some funny posts within here. EDIT: and I love the arrogance of one particular post. For the record, a watt is a watt and should be stated as such. If an amp manufacturer is going to specifiy watts, they should do it appropriately. RMS, Peak and and at what loading.

[quote name='Low End Bee' post='1352239' date='Aug 26 2011, 11:47 AM']Can we all slag this amp off so I can get one on the cheap please. Ta.[/quote] Yeah, I'm watching the for sale section right now...

Guess it explains why the amp parped out into a squidgy mess when I tried it out, trying to push some serious top end.

Is this gonna be the first single cut?

[quote name='charic' post='1350371' date='Aug 24 2011, 03:46 PM']I had one of their scratchplates that light up. They forgot to mention there wasn't going to be room for a battery in a MIM pbass. In all fairness they accepted the return without too much hassle.[/quote] I could have told you that from the word go - John East had to develop a new battery/charging solution for that exact reason so you could have an active circuit without having to route the bass.

[quote name='bobpalt' post='1350360' date='Aug 24 2011, 03:39 PM']Has anyone had any leds fitted by these guys, who are based in Orpington, Kent, and if so, how good was the experience? They are a lot cheaper than SIMs, although their neck leds are only quoted as lasting 5 or 6 hours on a battery (!), but I reckon I would need to go through a lot of batteries to make up the cost.....[/quote] I've never seen any of their work - it does intrigue me to how good they are and if their method of installation is the same as Sims.

[quote name='molan' post='1349958' date='Aug 24 2011, 09:46 AM']Saw a band recently in a fairly small venue where the bass player ran an Ashdown 500W head through a pair of 4x10's stacked vertically. Band starts playing = cue thud, thud, thud, boom, boom, boom from the bass corner [/quote] Isn't that what Ashdowns sound like anyway?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1349598' date='Aug 23 2011, 10:08 PM']Still hurting from last night practice then? Ha.[/quote] My rig is so going with me next time.

Play through an Ashdown... then nobody will be able to even tell what notes you are playing.

[quote name='lowdown' post='1346154' date='Aug 20 2011, 10:41 AM']I quite like these tunes [I thought i would not for some reason] May be my puter speakers - but it seems a bit light Bass end [Bass Gtr i mean] But saying that i can always hear the Bass end well on Commercial stuff on the puter speakers, so you [Bass Gtr] might be a bit light in the mix. Garry[/quote] Thanks for the kind words. As for the mixing... well, I guess I could have gone bass light knowing that I normally have a bass bias!

Looks great. To echo others round here, it certainly doesn't give the impression that you haven't done this before! One small question... has this got a trussrod? Or is it one of those truss rods where you have to take the neck off the body to alter it?

[quote name='lowdown' post='1346039' date='Aug 20 2011, 06:55 AM']'Bela' is a lovely theme.[/quote] Oh yeah - love that one. Sounds great!
