I finally get down to a useful signal chain... But still... Hail Satan Deluxe is on the way.

That's pretty close to my board, actually! I have a B3K feeding my BB, and a different muff clone (Pharaoh instead of the Hail Satan), but the HPF and Gamma round out the main chunk of my board. Nice! Speaking of which, I'm assuming the Hail Satan is pretty good since you're getting the deluxe? Any comments on it? All I've heard is "meh" type reviews for the AE guys, but I thought they seemed cool. I'd throw some money their way if I had some to throw.

DO NOT MONO BRIDGE THE 4 PRO, you were warned ;).

Yeah, I figure if you need so much power that you're thinking about putting the 4 Pro in mono bridge... you really also need more cabs.

looks like gibson has made a knock off hipshot bridge for the 2015 basses that still use the 3 point. also looks like the t-bird will have the "EB" (weird shaped bass) pickups in it now. i like those pickups a lot actually.

Interesting. Looks like they've kinda figured out that people hate the three point bridge with the T-bird.

I wish they'd put chrome covers on the pickups and move both slightly towards the neck, though. Also, bring back white as a finish.

Looks like they're still refusing to put an actual mudbucker in the EB-3/SG bass, though, which is too bad. I've always thought that really they should put two mudbuckers/sidewinders/whatever they want to call them on that bass. One up against the neck, the other right up against the bridge.

I know your right.
I don't understand how folks can't see this difference between posting about being a bass player in a religious context and being a zealot who also happens to play bass.

I'm still not sure what you guys are talking about?

If you don't feel like going back to the thread, care to summarize the discussion? I'm curious.

So, the reason I've been off the past few days is because on saturday night/sunday morning, there were a bunch of arsons in my hometown.

One of my friends got arrested and is being charged with them.

This is ********, because he was at work (he's the soundguy for this local venue) until about 1:45 AM, and the first of the fires was reported almost an hour before that.

The police say that he was "spotted near the fires," but the fires were all in a seven block radius that happens to be his neighborhood.

His girlfriend told the police about how he'd been at work when she went to pick up her cat from his house on sunday afternoon, but they didn't follow up with that information until tuesday afternoon, when he was already being arraigned. We and one of his coworkers were trying to call the detective in charge of the case on monday to tell him about my friend being at work, but we just got a message saying it was his day off. Most high profile crime in this town for years, and this detective decides not to come to work on monday.

I think the police's mishandling of it is what pisses me off the most... second to the fact that they're trying to portray my friend as some sort of violent thug because he's an animal rights activist (never mind that none of the fires could be even remotely linked to animal stuff), and a pagan.

That's so poopie to hear mate. Hope your friends gets his named cleared quick. Seems cops are more interested in getting an arrest than actualky catching the perps these days. Guilty until proven innocent.

Yeah, they probably picked him up because he was wearing black (totally appropriate for stage/sound crew at a venue) and his vest with all the band patches on it.

bass > board >svt4 > 810 to amp A and 215 to amp B. I wouldn't run 925w to the 215 so i wouldn't run a 2 ohm load.
Click to expand...

It would only be 2 ohms with the addition of 2 more 15s. I was under the impression that 925W across four 8 ohm 15s would equate to around 231.25W a piece. I would think a legend, a black widow and two acoustic cabs would hold up. I also think I remember reading in the manual that in stereo you can run a 4 ohm load on one side and a 2 ohm load on the other.

I sympathize with the dude to some extent, but this is why I don't talk about my spiritual views with people I'm not very close friends with already. I'm more likely to talk about my sexual kinks than my spirituality, really.

I feel for the kid. No one likes being kicked out. His thread wasnt about that, it was about a biased opinion of his faith.
I think the rules, in spirit, keep the peace between various religious nuts. There is a place on TB for talking about ones' faith and the struggles involved. It's the lobby. I reported his thread and tried to give him a hint. I'm willing to get slapped on the wrist a few times to expresses the idea that some people don't want religious debate marauding across the forum.

I caught that post 2 minutes after you posted and I thought, "awwwwww ****. This thread is destined to hit the fan. I was in total agreement with you. That kid should move on. They are to young to get hung up on one set of D bags.

If you get a chance to see Dr Know do it. Kyle is on point, great show. AA killed it as always. New lineup all vets. Felt for Greg as his SVT pro2 keeps going into protect mode at the slightest dip in amperage from power source. Goes from all good until the two half stacks light up... Click... No bass. Shame cause when it's rolling his rig kicks ass.

Nardcore!
