    Peavey CS3000...taking a crap?

    First of all thank you to all who respond or even take the time to read...ill try to make this as simple as possible. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right forum. This is referring to my Peavey CS3000. This amp is incredible...rock solid and it pumps out the volume like no other. However...

    Mackie Thump 15A started "farting out" since...

    thank you for this input Sam. however im a little confused. does this mean I "should" check the DC at the speaker connections? just to be safe? is this standard practice for troubleshooting speaker issues? Like I said, Im new to this kind of repair and want to do it myself if Im capable. Anyhow...

    Mackie Thump 15A started "farting out" since...

    Yes we have plugged mic's directly into the mackie and they work fine....its when its getting the full spectrum from the entire band that they start acting up. Im also now aware at how terrible the Mackie's are for overall volume but they carry the low end really well considering we dont use...

    Mackie Thump 15A started "farting out" since...

    Like stated in the original post, there wasnt enough power once everyone started playing and the amps started pulling seriouse juice. I think that was the problem, either way the mains (yorks and mackies) fart constantly. I appologise my original post was a bit losely put together. Im pretty...

    Mackie Thump 15A started "farting out" since...

    To start I hope this is the right forum for this thread. Suppose it will get moved if not. Well, I personally do all the sound for our band at soundcheck and have for over 2yrs now. All sorts of different bar sizes from cramped to larger outdoor venues. And this time after sound check, we all...

    playing with a glove?

    dude...if it helps your problem, then it works for you! you might even change your play style a little bit and learn to like it. When i pictured it i imagined all sorts of weird sounding ghost notes that could come from the muting with a gloved hand. Might actually sound cool or heaven...

    Do you lower your Bass for a Biker Gig ?

    +1.... why exchange comfort and ease of playing for a look? and if needed, I would still prefer to stand behind something and not be seen rather than be uncomfortable. but thats just me.

    Yet another Effects Order Question!

    Might be a stupid question but Im about to start purchasing multiple effects pedals. Would an EQ pedal best fit in at the end to even out the overall tone I want? or eariler. didnt see it mentioned anywhere yet.

    Looking for a head set up - prog metal band

    I wasnt going to post in this thread till someone chimed in and suggested Genz Benz. I currently use the shuttle 6.0 and couldnt be happier. Not only that I get NON STOP compliments on the tones and shear power it puts out. Im never lost in the mix with GB! So +1 for Genz Benz!

    URGENT Drummer may have fried my WT800

    That gives me the chills just thinking about what that could have done. Hope it's not completly fried.

    Does low AC power kill amps?

    I'm a Certified Electrician in Alaska and I couldnt agree more with what JimC had to say here. If you have enough PA gear I would even consider doing what was said above....for the PA alone and then again for the amps....If the garage wasnt "wired to code", that means you have NO idea whats in...

    What should my other fingers be doing?

    This is what I find myself doing as well. Maybe give it a try. It might even improve your overall sound if ringing notes or accidental string contact is an issue for you also. But as I read this thread I picked up my bass and found that I am CONSTANTLY using all 4 fingers of my R. hand. I...

    First Problem w/ Genz Benz shuttle 6.0 =(

    Yeah I do plan on at least bringing a patch cord along with me from now on just in case. However I have been playing it off and on all morning so far....and with no problems, thats also without the patch cord in it. But I might just start to keep it in there especially if the problem shows up...
