    Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!

    The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm

    I think that was the SGR800 LE. I had the SGR1000 too.

    Well guys, after much consideration I've opted for the Halon, I'll let you know when I receive it. Looks like a really good bridge, we will see...

    Beautiful - always wanted one of these when I saw a pic of Chris Squire using one decades ago!! Sadly a bit too dear unless I can offload a couple of other basses!

    I don't listen to enough Otis Rush and need to rectify that!

    They're my favourite string. I used to use DR nickels, I loved the warmer tone of SunBeams, but also the feel and bite of the Nickel LoRiders, Newtone, at least the hex nickel ones seem to sit firmly between the two sonically to my ear, and they last a long ol' time.

    I’ve used their guitar and resonator strings but never bass. Might check them out.

    Absolutely, we all have our preferences! I just found the 'pop' and pick sounds on the D & G strings to lack the body that the reverse config (and jazz basses in general) produces. Which aligns with why many favour the reverse P. I think the examples would have been better presented with a improved "amp" tone, but I suppose he was just trying to demonstrate quickly. I think I did spot a video on his page about jazz bass 60's and 70's spacing, so that definitely makes a difference too. - but I suppose ultimately, like anything on a bass, is whether or not its something that is important to the player - lightweight tuning keys, gold encrusted knobs.. or just a buzz free fretboard! ... see you in the rabbit hole, i'll bring biscuits!!! 😃

    Thanks - pity bit of a trek from sunny Frinton On Sea!

    That's what makes it so bloody great 🙂

    I’m a bit of a Tech21 fanboy, so I’m probably biased. They’ve been making preamps for bass and guitars for absolutely ages and I’ve never had a day’s issue with any of their products over the decades and their customer support is exemplary in my experience (they’re even BC members). I currently use a VTDI which gives me a wide array of Ampeg type tones, but other tones are available and it’s been a staple of my pedalboard since I bought it (so long ago I can’t remember, but around 10 years ago). Others swear by the BDDI and the Paradriver. Their products are definitely worth a look.

    Cheers Neil but if it doesn't happen i'm not sure it will bother me too much. Having a bit more time this year i might decide not to sell the old Harley after all 😂 Dave

    I had much the same question earlier this month... n my case after a lot of YT review watching i grabbed a Sire Z7 5 string at just under £400 (b-stock) from Thomann....Lovely neck, a very versatile and great sounding Pup/Preamp set up, Quality hardware and finish that felt way above it's price tag...setup was dog doo but might have been due to changes made by the first buyer... all that said it's boxed up waiting to be collected by DHL for return because it's boat anchor heavy, not that i was expecting a Light bass due to the alder body, but the shortness of the lower horn makes it impossible to play while sitting because it either slips off you leg or neck dives. Id say Jakester's Yamaha above is a total bargain, id have taken it myself but 17mm is my max tolerance for spacing these days I've found. GL
  22. Hellzero
    Totally agree, I own one too and it's an amazing bass. GLWYS.

    Not currently on the radar, but I shall!

    This. I reckon a 5 needs a longer scale length for the B to work well, too. The best sounding 5 for not too much money I've come across was a Lakland Skyline. Lakland 5s have a 35" scale, which does seem to make a difference. They can be had used for less than a grand. I'd save up a bit more, rather than going for something at the moment when you don't have a lot of spare cash.
  25. BassAdder60
    Yep the Genzler Magellan 800 is a fine amp too
  26. 80Hz
    Interesting, in this video I preferred standard PJ configuration! Of course he's playing with a pick which will highlight the overtones. He also doesn't get into 60s versus 70s J spacing which will add another minor variable. Cool idea for a testbed bass. ...and down the rabbit hole I go 😆
  27. Bassassin started following Snakeskin Fernandes P bass - any ideas what on earth this is ?!
  28. Bassassin
    Looks like a vintage-ish Fernandes P (hardware looks old) that someone has recently decided to cowboy-up with a novelty leather/pleather exoskeleton. In contrast to the metalwork the stuff on the body is unworn, the stitching's intact & looks perfectly clean, & the studs on the back are new-looking & shiny. I doubt it's been played much since it was done. I shall reserve my opinion on the aesthetic merits of the modification - and I'm sure we can agree that's for the best...
