[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1434297095' post='2798404'] I wonder if anyone has ever left bad feedback? [/quote] I was thinking the same thing

At least it was not as bad as someone sending me a £120 pedal in a jiffy bag... Funnily enough the original seller for the pedal in the OP was me! about 3-4 years ago, same guy, but considering the PMs I dont think he realised. I definitely didnt cover the box in tape but it wasnt in pristine condition either. All valid responses, thanks guys. No the pedal was not sold "with original box" on the ad but it came with the original box all taped up hehe I like my boxes... all piled up under my bed... yeah its not too important... considering Iron Ether's original box is just a small plain white card box! No its definitely not the sellers fault it was left in the rain either however, I like people to consider this might happen when sending electrical goods through standard 1st class royal mail.

... you received a pedal you just bought off basschat and the seller's idea of packaging was just to stick brown tape all over the pedal's original box, which is now impossible to peel off without destroying the box. No further packaging, and yes the postman leaves it outside the front door in the rain.

Yes you are right, I dont struggle to be heard! and maybe the rig just doesnt have the sound i want. I've got my p-bass tone and i love it, but im not fussing over finer details if you get what i mean or want a signature sound. Kinda just wanting to be able to tame my sound in the mix in the larger halls that we play and within budget (which would be the value of my rig traded basically) so as to overcome the lack of FOH subs. An active subwoofer sounds like a fun idea but not within budget. Maybe I just dont like the low end of my P-bass? or rather the low end of the P-bass coupled with my rig dont work well in large halls? Justs gets so boomy and undefined and reducing the 1001RBs lows and low mids just results in lack of oomph and dynamic range in the low end in this situation. Ive tried dual band compression with a Rane DC24 in the fx loop to just compress everything under 120hz slightly, trying like 1:1.2 ratio with -30db threshold or 1:3 ratio with -10db threshold or something like that, gain level adjusted accordingly. This coupled with the -50hz cut on the GK 1001RB I would of thought should tackle the boom somewhat and more focused low end but I just keep getting defeated but these large hall gigs

Thanks chaps! yeah i kinda already own a GK 1001RB head and two Neo 212ii's funnily enough but I find I struggle to eq the bass to the room 50% of venues I play in but im referring to function halls, village halls etc and not necessarily music venues. My band have no subs FOH which is part of the problem but as late I find my tone a bit lost however ever i try to eq things. I use a Fender P-bass with roundwounds so im thinking it shouldnt be that hard at some gigs. Some gigs I have perfect tone and have no problem at all but this is either as we're playing a small room or the whole band has turned up to 11, as that tends to happen a bit. Might be that I dont know how to eq things properly or positioning my stack in the best place, might be my guitarist hogging all the frequencies. I thinking perhaps adding dampening to the inside of the Neo212s as ive read that might make the cabs more focused. But just for gear heads sake, instead of a bi amp system that instead of dedicates high frequencies to a horn, Id like to play around with a bi amp system that dedicates 40hz to 150hz for example, to subwoofers. Probably a silly idea. But would like to hear your thoughts please

If I were to buy for example a Hartke 7000, and use its cross-over to send roughly 250w of high mids and highs to one cab and 250w (or the relative amount to balance the power needed to coincide with the power of the higher frequency crossover) of bass and low mids to another cab, do I effectively have a rig that is kicking out around the 500w level overall? Watts not being a great measure of loudness I kinda gather that but i dont really know what im talking about exactly and Im just trying to give you a rough idea of what im getting at. Many thanks!

http://everynoise.com/countries.html quite cool i thought. Missing Turkish Prog and Iraqi Funk though (I didnt make those up)

Hello all, I have been researching about the internet and found the Rane PE15-17 the Ashley PQX and the TC 1140. All discontinued... Does anyone happen to know of any available Parametric EQ Racks that are under £200? Many thanks

Nik bought my Yamaha BBT500 amp. Great guy to deal with, he even introduced me to cheaper courier services. Many thanks!!

Recently I have received pedals that I have bought from basschatters costing around £80-£120 and they are just posted in Jiffy bags with no extra protection. What are these people thinking??? luckily the pedals have been fine but having worked in a post office sorting warehouse, this kind of "hope for the best, save as much on postage costs" thinking is just irresponsible... Any one else have this experience before? if there anything to worry about sending pedals like this or am I ranting over nothing?
