First Blog Post....


This is a new post for my personal account. I plan to post content about my hobbies, my travels, family and music. This first post will be short, and mainly just to make sure everything is setup properly.
Later,
Dave

AudioKinesis Hathor 1203 Bass Cabinet

Image
This post is a review of the AudioKinesis Hathor 1203 bass cabinet . I have been gigging either one or a pair of these cabs for over a year and a half now. I generally use a Monique 700 when I gig two of these cabs and either the Monique, a Thunderfunk 550B or Aguilar TH500 when gigging one. I use two of the cabs when gigging my Americana/Rock/classic country bands in theaters and/or outdoor gigs. A single 1203 handles rehearsals and the acoustic gig. The primary reason I purchased the 1203 cabs was the insane weight. Each of my cabs weigh 24 pounds. Yes, 24 pounds! Another reason was the rather small size. They are so easy to load in/out. They easily fit in my "Tour Bus" (2002 Toyota 4Runner) with all my other gear. Plus, they sound great! Of course the sound was a big consideration. Thankfully, several TalkBass members posted audio files of the 1203, so I had a pretty good idea of what I could expect. Rehearsal rig When I started doing research on a pair of new...

Setting up and using OnSong

Image
OnSong is an app for the Apple iPad that manages and displays chord charts. The app can only be purchased in the iTunes store. Currently, OnSong is $19.99. This post will list what you need to get started setting up and using OnSong. In order to setup and use OnSong, you will need the following: Mandatory: An iPad (gen 2 or higher). A computer with Internet access. An iTunes account. A DropBox account. A text editor (Notepad++ for Microsoft-based computers). Optional (but highly recommended) ChordSmith chordpro editor (giftware, payable with paypal). Chordpro Buddy (iTunes purchase). In reference to ChordSmith , you can do without it, however, I highly recommend you drop $10 or $15 dollars to the author and install this program. It is feature rich, and makes quick work of editing a chordpro file. Plus, it has a transpose function to boot! Go ahead and purchase it, cause I'll be referencing it quite frequently. Setup your hardware: The first step is...

Thunderfunk TFB750A & Jule Monique Comparison/Observation

I've had several people ask me about the difference between the Thunderfunk 750A and the Jule Monique. I figured it best to put down my observations in a blog. While this is by no means a thorough, scientific shootout, maybe it will be useful to anyone considering a Monique purchase, especially if they have experience with the Thunderfunk head (or similar head). Before we get started: Warning, this might get wordy! I like to talk about music and gear. Hey, I am an old musician that is fortunate enough to afford gear far beyond my playing ability. My gear, music, and hanging out with my musician friends make me happy. So indulge me...... This is not a post to declare a winner between these two heads. When you get to this level of gear, you are going to discover subtle difference and things that you favor over another. As far as I am concerned, I am talking about top-tier equipment. I will be pointing out differences between the two. Not weaknesses, since it is my belief that I h...
