    Sampling

    Thanks, trying to avoid having a computer on stage to be honest, lookin for something made-for-purpose that is a little more robust. I don't trust computers to be reliable in the field!

    Sampling

    Hello. Any luck findin something foot-operated? I've been trying to find out if there's any way of plugging a MIDI footswitch unit into a Akai MPX8 and triggering samples that way. Our drummer uses an Alesis sample pad, which works great, but I wanted to expand the number of samples we can use...

    Hartke Kilo - Bridged Mono Issue

    Hi Rob, thanks for the update. I took my kilo out of the rack to give it better ventilation. It still cut out quite quickly (maybe 2 minutes) in bridge mode. I positioned a small fan pointing at it and it lasted a little longer, but then still cut out. I thought the problem was only in...

    Hartke Kilo - Bridged Mono Issue

    Hi. Anyone find a solution to this problem? I just got a Kilo this week, and it's been cutting out in bridge mode. I assume because it's getting too hot. It's in a 3u rack flight case so doesn't have much space around it. Maybe it would be better out of the case? Have not had time to try...

    Dismantling a combo

    Yeah, I did think of doing that, but I doubt I'd get what it's worth selling it second hand, and I thought that if I separate it into a cab and a head I can upgrade to the rig that I want in stages, as I can't really afford to fork out all in one go for the £1,500/£2000 that I'd need to spend to...

    Dismantling a combo

    It's this Ashdown 410 http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?section=legacy&ID=11 The head slides out fairly easily if you take a few screws out. I was going to make a sturdy wooden box to house it. Presumably if all the wiring and everything that isn't exposed now stays not exposed then...

    Dismantling a combo

    this one just has a jack that connects the two parts. appart from that they're completely separate. I've taken the head out before and it's just two screws that hold it in. So it wont affect the acoustics of the cab or anything like that?

    Dismantling a combo

    Hello. If I want to use the head part of a combo to power a different cab is there any reason why I can't just physically take the head out and build a new box to house it? That way I'd then have a separate head and cab right? Can that lead to any problems that I haven't foreseen? Your...

    can't find out impedance on ashdown combo

    So adding another 410 would thicken out the low end significantly? I don't really need anymore volume in the mid range, just looking for defenition and more punch in the lows. thanks

    can't find out impedance on ashdown combo

    oh, ok. What I'm really looking for is much more solid lower end. The mid tone has a lot of punch to it, but I play a 5 string and find that the lower notes on the low B string lack defenition. I'm playing drum and bass, ska, dub, and want to get the low end loud with out it getting rumbly and...

    compression pedals

    I'll probably give the MarkBass pedal a go then, doesn't seem like anyone has anything bad to say about it. The place I'm gunna order it from does a 30 day money back garantee anyway, so I've got nothing to lose.

    can't find out impedance on ashdown combo

    Thanks for your help guys. And while we're on the subject, do you happen to know if the amp in the combo, which is 575W I think, is powerful enough to run the extra 15" as well as the 4x10? The 1x15s that I have been looking at all say power handling: 400W RMS. I don't know much about it...
