Backstory: Covid has changed everything. What few gigs I get now are much smaller than before, so I put together a rig for small gigs. I got a combo which sounds nice (Ashdown Studio 15, 300w). But small gigs means small stages, so the combo is pushing the best part of the sound through my legs...

You guys are a pretty smart bunch so maybe someone can help me out here..... Long story short, one of my display freezers in my ice cream shop has a problem, and the quote I got to fix it "properly" would send me bankrupt. It still works, and for the most part I can work around the fact not...

The first composite cab I built is 1 year old now and still looking and sounding fantastic. It was a 1x12 cab which weighs a mere 19.5lbs (8.87kg)... click here for that thread. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/another-composite-cab-build-inspired-zac-663169/ Armed with this knowledge, my good...

A friend of mine is just started up a rehearsal studio. He’s reasonably happy with how well each room isolates noise from the adjoining rooms, but he’s asked me if there’s anything he can do to further reduce the amount of low frequencies being transferred between rooms.? No-one has...

I need suggestions, but I have some criteria:- Here's my problem. My "vintage" 1988 Boss GE-7B is finally started giving up. It's now emitting a quiet but audible whirring whining noise, so I'm thinking I should start putting the feelers out for a replacement before it becomes unusable...

My trusty old Sennheiser IEM unit is finally started playing up. It's old, really old, so no complaints. Only trouble is a new replacement is out of my budget, as are the offerings from Shure. A quick search of eBay shows some much cheaper brands whose specs seem to stack up, but having never...

You've probably all seen the threads by zac2944, who's speaker cabs made from composites have been nothing short of sensational. I decided to have a go at building a composite 1x12 myself. I used an Eminence Deltalite11 2512, a textile dome tweeter by Vifa, and a 4th order crossover at 3.5K...

I bought a 1990 SR5 recently as a backup to my 1991 SR5. I didn't realise at the time that the SR5 had a 2 coil alnico pickup as opposed to the 3 coil ceramic pickup on my 1991 bass. They sound very different. So different in fact that I'm convinced my 3 position slider on the 1990 bass has...

Turns out my wife and I will be in Tokyo early next year. We'll be there for 6 nights during which I have one gig to do, but the rest of the time we'll be free to do whatever we like. * What are the things we absolutely MUST do while we're there? * My wife's birthday falls towards the end...

I'm getting a little tired of having to constantly vacuum dog hair off the couch material. I'm tempted to get a leather couch instead but I'm concerned about their claws tearing the leather? Your thoughts? What sort of couch are you using and how's that working for you? PS- "Get the pets...

I know there's a few IEM users here so I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm using a Sennheiser EW300 IEM system and the antenna is broken. Do all IEM's have the type/size antenna socket? In other words could I grab, say, a Sure IEM antenna and attach it to my Sennheiser system? And if you...

If so, can someone tell me how to do it? I can't figure it out.

Believe it or not, I don't have an IPod, or an MP3 player of any kind. But I've found a reason to buy one finally. However, it MUST have a line-in for recording audio from, say, another MP3 player, or a Hi-Fi system, or heck from the sound guy's console at gigs. Our sound guy is recommending...

Check this out, its apparently a photo taken from a recent outdoor festival... The sound guy said he liked the sound of the smaller speakers on top, because they were brighter and sounded good when blended in with the larger speakers below....

I just found out I'll be going to Singapore in January 09 for a gig, so I'm taking the opportunity to take my wife on a bit of a vacation. Has anyone here visited Singapore? Is there anything I absolutely MUST see or do while we're there? Also, are there any TB'ers from Singapore who might...

I don't even know what to say! :rollno:

I'd tell you more about why I'm so busy but i don't have time. I don't even have time to corect the grammar in my last sentence. I don't even have time to correct the spellering in my etc etc....... Anyone else too busy to post on TB?

I've got a 2001 MM Stingray 5 (single humbucker). It has a 3 way pickup selector as standard that allows me to choose between Parallel Humbucker, Single Coil, and Series Humbucker. Strangely enough I haven't felt much of a need to use the pickup selector too often, it's been set to the...

My guitarist put me on to this stuff and I just used it to secure the pedals in my pedal board. Damn this stuff is good. I can hold my pedal board upside-down and shake it and nothing moves, but I can still remove the pedals without damaging them or the board:- It's made by 3M under the...

Woo Hoo!! :hyper: Finally Sydney gets the bass store it deserves..... and they're looking staff. Allow me to quote from the Green Square Music newsletter:- "BASS PEOPLE IS COMING!! We are very excited to announce the impending opening of our new bass shop! The shop will be called...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Does anyone here have one of these? I'm especially interested in hearing from Stingray and Stingray 5 owners, but if anyone has experience with this case, I'm all ears. I'm looking to get one for my Stingray 5. The blurb says they're designed for Fender J...

...on winning the Moto GP World Championship for 2007. And he did it with 3 races to go. Great effort!

Maybe not, but :eek: ..............

Can anyone point me towards a multi effects unit which has a decent programmable EQ? Too often I find myself programming patches that could be made perfect with a little bit of EQing, but the multi effects units I've tried all seem to have pre-programmed EQ patches which can't be edited.

I'm doing an interstate gig this weekend where the backline is supplied. The bass rig specs are, and I quote:- "* 1 x Ampeg 810 cabinet * 1 Ampeg Blue Line Valve Head" I know what to expect from the 810 but have never heard of the Ampeg Blue Line Valve head. A quick TB and google search...

Someone I know is thinking of upgrading from Shure E3's to Westone UM2's. He has a whole heap of Shure foam tips spare and is wondering of they'll fit the UM2's? I suspect not, but if anyone here knows, I'd like to hear from you

Someone broke into our house while we were at work yesterday. Needless to say we're not happy, but it could have been much worse so we're trying to be philosophical about it. The gut reaction from myself and all my friends and family is to get a burglar alarm. I have some questions...

Is it possible to somehow save a video from YouTube on to a PC? Better still is there a way to save the audio only?

Australia will start as favourites despite their recent ODI series loss to England. Personally I'm not sure we can do it. They announced the team today and I must say, it doesn't look as strong as it could:- * Ricky Ponting (captain), in very good form with the bat and an excellent fielder. *...

Only 2 more sleeps before The Ashes series start. I can't wait! Can England Regain the Ashes? Can they reproduce the good cricket of 18 months ago without the likes of Trescothic and Vaughan? Australia's lapse of 18 months ago seems to have righted itself in that we've won everything we've...

Nice guy too!

Many of the in-ear threads on TB have a theme that implies lots of us would consider in-ear monitoring of our basses if the price wasn't so prohibitive. In Aussie Dollars, an entry level system such as a Shure PSM200 with E2 earphones as standard costs upwards of $1,200. Add the cost of a...

If I want to block low frequencies to a speaker cab, in theory a capacitor wired in parallell will do the trick. Would this work with headphones as well? Or is the signal voltage too small? How else could I do it?

Our 8 month old Border Collie is absolutely beautiful, has responded very well to potty and obedience training, and has filled the house with joy and laughter. He’s almost the perfect dog. If only we could get him to stop bringing twigs, tree bark, and blades of grass in to the...

I ordered a couple of CD's from Amazon.com, the money has left my bank account, I have recieved a shipping confirmation via email, but the CD's never came. I checked at the post office and they've never recieved it. I've also tried to use Amazon's online "Parcal tracking" but it's tells me...

Anyone?

Apparently Bergantino have a pre-amp due for release shortly which has a variable HPF, but I'm curious as to what else is out there (if anything)? The one I'm using presently takes up a whole rack space and quite frankly, I'd prefer something pedal-sized.

This is quite possibly one of the best video clips I've ever seen, and it would have cost next to nothing to make. http://www.fugufish.org/frog/?p=38 Notice it's one continuous camera shot. I wonder how many takes were required to get it right?
