    GK fusion s issues. Anyone have this problem?

    Wow, thank you. Was about to take my amp to get repaired and this fixed it (even removing it) instantly!

    Recording at Home

    Can't knock what I haven't tried. In my other band we all record live in the room with one another - it results in a very different sound (they are more of a bluesy/punk rock band), while this other band recording track by track is a thrash/heavy metal band. I feel the need to "groove" less...

    Recording at Home

    A lot of unnecessary assumptions here I personally have not recorded in this way before. The others have. We rehearse weekly and have written full demos of these songs in advance, and will be tracking drums > guitars inc. bass > vocals > solos while present with each other most of the time in...

    Recording at Home

    Sorry, I should have clarified, that I currently don't have the ability to also mic my cab, I am only talking about the head itself. My interface has just two inputs, so I feel like darkglass + parallel clean into amp and XLR out of my amp into my interface is my best 2 combinations with my...

    Recording at Home

    Thank you everyone for your input. I think I am leaning towards sending: Direct out from my Darkglass pedal Parallel out from pedal > into amp > post EQ-DI I'm less experienced in what will work for the eventual mix, so I think I'll aim to record these both at less-than-extreme settings to...

    Recording at Home

    Hello fellow Low End Chiefs I'm due to record bass for an album with one of my bands in the coming weeks/months, and I've only had experience recording live as a group before. This newer band tracks drums first then guitars etc after. We're opting to record at guitars home to save some £ and...

    The ultimate SKB Bass Safe thread - what gig bags actually fit?

    Has anyone tried the standard gig bag that comes with Dingwall basses in one of these?

    GK Fusion 800S + Cab

    Thank you guys. So I'm good to go with either, and the question really is: Limiting myself to 2 Ohm heads in future saves me £100 now, but grants me 800W now. Realistically 800W is complete overkill for my situation unless I'm doing large outdoor events without support, right? I'll be good...

    GK Fusion 800S + Cab

    In fact, reviewing the manual tells me that it would only deliver 400W at 8 Ohms, so even less reason to buy the more expensive version. Seems counter intuitive which is why I'm double checking! Yeah I've tested a few 410s lately and I found them a bit muddy. My current Markbass combo is 210...

    GK Fusion 800S + Cab

    Hey guys, just got a good deal on a new amp. Moving away from a combo for a bit more flexibility. Picked up the GK Fusion 800S and am now considering whether to go for a 410 or 212 setup. I've noticed there's about £100 price difference (on Andertons) between a NEO IV 4 Ohm and 8 Ohm 212...

    Pot recommendations/advice

    Hi! I'm upgrading my bass with aguilar pickups and preamp. Settled on this: Aguilar OBP-3SK/PP - £167 - Muziker Reasoning for this one in particular is I only have 3 knobs on my bass However I've just found out it doesn't come with pots, and I have no clue where to start in terms of what pots...
