I have Mesa 400+ and MPulse 600 that I use, alternatively, with 1x15+2x10 cabs, but I've just burnt the 1x15 driver-coil!

I have one that i really love. The one in my avatar, you can see it with his mates here, mine is the first one, a sort of prototype being designed by me with the luthier http://www.biarnel.com/liuteria/akme/akmeseries.html

Hi. If you like listen and watch this video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3TiFei2IR78&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3TiFei2IR78 from the cd "A quiet land of fear" (Hoping this is the right forum section! )

I left the design to the Luthier, so this is a new Biarnel model, everyone can have one :-)

I know it can remember many basses, its very difficult to study a good new shape. It remembers but its different :-)

Thanks, here is a photo

Hi there! I'm coming back writing on these pages (I read but I rarely write something due to my rough english...) 'cause of making of my new bass, a new "Stige" model, by Biarnel Luthery, that is Emiliano Nencioni, a young italian luthier whose basses you've already seen on this web site.
" :-).
I wanted a more stronger sound and "evil" look, a "dark side" model for my group's live set (Demetra Sine Die: have you listened to the new album "A quiet land of fear" ? ). The last one was a very dark live set, because we played in almost complete obscurity to let see projections on the wall behind us. So I asked to Emiliano to have Luminlay dots to glow in the dark in this new bass.
Woods: alder body with maple top&back, bolt-on 5 pieces neck maple-wengé-padouk-wengé-maple, ebony fingerboard. One humbucker alnico low impedence pick-up (made by Emiliano), active 3 bands electronics. Shape has been designed to have a good look, with low weight - only 3380 grams - and a very good ergonomy, with special attention to stand-up picking playing (but you can also play sitting anyway, of course).
Sound is big, with good low-mid and a great attack, that's what I like, especially live where I have to be heared well with any amp and cabs I find on the stage. But sound is dinamic too, rich in all frequencies, so you can modify it with on board or amp eq. And what about color? Purpleburst with transparent black neck, really cool!
In the end, a very good bass, I like it a lot, it is really the one I wanted. Thanks Emiliano! You can find photo album here https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151730403068750.1073741830.20100608749&type=1

I'm really a beginner in front of you all:
Ibanez Ergodybe edc 5 strings: now in the hands of my wife's 15 years old cousin
Steinberger XM2, sold
G&L Sb2 fretless, sold
Ibanez sgr 800 fretless, sold
Pedulla Thunderbolt, 5 strings, sold
Stuart Spector Design fretless, 5 strings, sold
G&L 2500, sold
Hohner headless active, 5 strings, sold
Fender baritone (similar to bassVi ma. With 28" scale, I dont remember the name) sold
Peavey G-V 5 strings, I'm thinking to sell it

Still have:
Yamaha BS semiacoustic
Tacoma acoustic 5 strings
Mayones Victorious (but with EMG pups and electronics)
Mari, italian luthier, Stego 5 strings
Wal fretless (with changed pups, not but me! Its a long story!)
Biarnel (italian luthier) Akmé single cut 5 strings
Biarnel Scorcio, headless, 5 strings

Maybe I forget something...

I often add a ZVex Wolly Mammut fuzz and the Bassdrive Fulltone overdrive, its an amazing and tremendous sound! Till now my cabs are ok

MXR +1

I have the VoodooLab power brick, its very expensive but with 8 isolated output, absolutely noiseless, 2 output with selector 9/12 V e 2 where you can fedd Line6 or Strymon pedals. I used a lot pf different power in the past but this is really the best And with this one I have no more problems of hum, hiss and so on

If you think to have to manage many effects, with different loop combinations, and you have money to spend, buy a switcher like Carl Martin Combinator or similar

I think I'll continue using my Fulltone bassdrive. But I have the Wolly Mammut fuzz and it is amazing!

I have "only" one bass: one fretless, one acoustic, one semiacoustic, one 35", one... no I'm wrong, I've three 5 strings. I' m GAS addicted

Non ti preoccupare, scrivi abbastanza bene in Inglese., che basso hai? Ampli?

I usually play with an italian luthier bass, model called Akmé, the luthier is Biarnel. just yesterday I've got a new Biarnel bass, headless, that I will try this evening with my band. both have been "styled" by me and built by this luthier. I have Mesa amps, 2x10+1x15 cabinets, 400+ and M-Pulse600 heads
