I have just moved from a Soundcraft LX7 24channel mixer to a Presonus Studio Live 32s. (with 2 NSB 16-8 stage boxes)
It is a powerful beast of a mixer and a lot to take in.
I have a problem with mix (aux) sends to the stage boxes. All 16 are fine from the rear panel analogue outputs
but nothing from the stage boxes.
Any clues would be greatfuly appreciated.

However I am open to suggestions for alternatives if anyone has experience. Presonus, Midas
Budget is around 3k

I have used one for the last couple of years and found it excellent and likewise the guitarist in the band.
There are comments regarding Smoothhound all over the forums here.
So I am asking here to try and keep answers in one place for now, for your opinons about it any good or bad experiences.
Views on quality of constructio, ease of use etc.
Please only comment if you own or have owned one of these devices.

Just two and a=half years ago I took posession of my custom built "Mouradian" by AndyJr1515.
I am posting after all this time to say I am still besotted with this bass. It is now my go to bass and in my mind the best I have ever played. (biased? maybe!)
It has always been rock steady. I have never needed to adjust the neck or string height. The cream finish has aged a little and is slightly darker now.

Akai DPS 16 digital hard drive recorder.
Good working condition Printed user manual included.Akai DPS-16 Digital Multitrack Recorder / Mixer with Effects
Excellent quality 16-track all-in-one recorder. Records in various uncompressed formats from 16 bit 44.1k up to 24 bit 96k. Has very good preamps (8 inputs, 2-mic/line combo and 6 line) plus hi-z guitar input. 16 recording tracks plus hundreds of virtual tracks for alternative takes and submixes etc. Good eq and effects - this unit has the EB4M effects board upgrade which has 4 stereo multi-effects units all available simultaneously with 52 different effects types.
It records to internal hard drive and also has a scsi connection for external drives and data backup. It has a very good display (same one as MPC 4000) with Akai 'Q-control' knobs for direct control of channel parameters including EQ, panning, FX sends etc. there are lots of ins and outs including Midi i/o, digital i/o, main and monitor outputs (with separate level controls) also 4 aux outputs for adding external hardware effects to the mix.
It's a brilliant machine if you want to record without a computer, with excellent sound quality. This one is in very good used condition - it has a few minor marks here and there from normal use but is clean and tidy and fully functional.

An original Overwater bass. Fretless. Now sold thanks all for your interest and input.
This is offered for sale as a project. I bought it in this condition with the intention of doing the restoration myself. But have never found the time.It has one major issue. It has a crack in the neck at the rear near the headstock. Visible in the photo's.However the neck is straight and level.The electronics do work but realistically would need replacing.The body and neck have been sanded to bare wood with the exception of the front of the headstock.There is a case included in the auction.Shipping is possible. Will update the listing when I can an idea of cost.

Thanks Andy.
I have to say I am still delighted with this bass. Very grateful to Andy for agreeing to this project.
Watching the build on here was amazing, as was Andy's communications as we bandied ideas back and forth.
The tonal variations that can be obtained are awesome. Dimarzzio M1 at neck and a MM clone at bridge (much higher output than MM pup) and some series parallel switching of both.
It is a delight to play and just feels right in my hands. It has become my go to bass. And is always a conversation piece at gigs.

Came across these the other day. The Crumar Bassman. Stand alone with a built in synth module.
Looks cool. Wonder if they have the same trigger conntacts as original Moog ( Lowry)

A set of each eh? Showing off eh?
Absolutely yes showing off big time, And using them together an octave apart is something to behold. Until I fall over.

As a long time admirer of the Taurus I and user of the Roland PK-5/various sound modules I was as excited as anyone else at the announcement of the Taurus III ten years ago. So what I thought would be a Taurus replicant made from modern lightweight materials turns out to be something with a million functions I don't want or need and is heavy enough to be used as stabilising ballast for a super cruise ship with a price tag to match. I know it's late in the day but I'm still effing fuming about my dream not coming true!
What it does do well is always trigger properly unlike the original Taurus 1 which was notorious for the contacts failing. The tuning doesn't drift either.
As for cost, well the originals are still selling for higher prices than the T2 new providing condition is right.
Having said all that I found it a great self indulgence to have a set of each at my feet. And when asked why, I would reply "cos I can".

That is stunning. Is it one of the Mouradian (may have mispelt that) basses that Chris Squire used to use, albeit with a different pickup combo? I'd love to try one of these.
This is a custom build for me by Andyjr1515. It is a near copy of the CS74 Which was originally made by Jim Mouradian for Chris Squire.
I've had it for over a year now and still love it
Full build diary here.

I quite like mine. But then I would I suppose.

I agree...
I'm waiting for noms for the two Mouradians too.
And here is one. Andy's creation which is now my go to bass. Nearly a year old now and I have to say it has settled superbly. Dropped the action and a tweak on the trussrod- Sweet.
Has an amazing range of sounds. Both pups are switchable Parallel, series and single coil.

No one seems to have mentioned how often wedding partys fall into disarray and drunken arguments and fights break out.
The best / worse one was when the best man got up to speak handed an album to the bride full of photos of the groom
in uncompromising positions with various other females that he had been with very recently.
I have never seen anything like what ensued. -
Really like the way that you have not made it straight and put the lines at an angle.

It's only been going on for nearly four years, so I guess I can wait another month or so to see it.

Just wondering how this build is going ?
Gallien Krueger Fusion 550 problem with noise
in Repairs and Technical
Posted
I have a Fusion 550. It has been perfectly fine for years and hasn't come out of the studio for around 3 years. A couple of weeks ago I switched on and when unmuted there was a "fuzzy noise". Not very loud but intrusive. I have checked all connections, inputs outputs etc and no change. The noise does get louder when turning up the master volume. The high mid control does seem to have a small effect. All other switches and dials have no effect. I have changed the valves and the noise is just the same. Any clues or pointers would be appreciated.
