[quote name='Earbrass' post='946992' date='Sep 6 2010, 10:50 AM']There was some ermm, "spirited" discussion of whether any amp in the history of space could possibly compete with an Ampeg SVT.[/quote] Hehe. I'm quite aware that arguing with an Ampeg lover is like arguing with your other half. It seems like a good idea at the time, but you lost the argument before you even opened your mouth!

[quote name='Earbrass' post='946990' date='Sep 6 2010, 10:46 AM']You should have been here last week. [/quote] Why? That is totally lost on me I'm afraid lol

[quote name='phil.mcglassup' post='946694' date='Sep 5 2010, 09:15 PM']Cheers, Any other suggestions ?-just in case they're out of stock!![/quote] Erm, can't really suggest any other hard cases that are specifically moulded for the Hofner that would come in around that price really. If not, try a hiscox. It wont be the EXACT shape of your bass like that other one, but I've had one for jazz/precision basses in the past and they're excellent.

[quote name='Max Normal' post='944706' date='Sep 3 2010, 04:43 PM']I'd get a s/h ampeg SVT2pro to compliment your Markbass. I found Markbass a bit hifi for my own personal tastes, but than I do like the sound of valves......[/quote] I didn't think it would be long before someone suggested the ever-involved Ampeg. I should have really mentioned, NO AMPEG as I'm not the biggest fan at all. I gig quite frequently and the Markbass/Aggy combination is fantastic for getting "my tone", easy to carry/transport and I'm keeping it. "Upgrading" to a heavier, bulkier amp with delicate valves that are more likely to break if i'm lugging it about 3 times a week, is not my idea of a good investment. Plus, the ampeg couldn't compliment the Markbass, as the Markbass LMIII is also an amp, so then i'd have to use one OR the other with my aggy cab and at the moment the markbass is GREAT, so I won't be "upgrading" it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

She didn't want to spend a stupid amount on shoes at all. But you can either get average priced ones (upto like £30) and then the price jumps up to like £80-150. So i thought, seem as I don't need all the money and it's an easier way to keep her sweet, I'd just give her a small amount of the "free" money and that would keep her happy. Turns out that it worked! She thinks its the best thing ever to have a frivilous shoe budget that she never expected, and it's no skin off my nose AT ALL. Win win. As for the Aggy Cab, I think you're right.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='946685' date='Sep 5 2010, 09:06 PM']Ah yes but that is classed as constructive help - how any times have you seen that someone owns something that you are interested in purchasing and you can then ask them what it is like etc. If we didn't list our gear then no-one would know who owns what. If Basschater's started putting their cars and houses in their sig's then I would start getting really worried!![/quote] True. Maybe Jamiroquai should start putting gear for sale in their videos. They would definately get a few more BCs interested

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='946641' date='Sep 5 2010, 08:33 PM']Anyone else with a slightly smaller ego might just have asked for something else to be used!!! [/quote] I don't think most of us bass chatters can talk considering our photos/sigs display the expensive gear we all own/long for!

[quote name='dood' post='946635' date='Sep 5 2010, 08:29 PM']Here's the cheeky little chappy: [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=2042&brandID=3"]http://www.samsontech.com/products/product...2&brandID=3[/url][/quote] Is it sad that the weight (only 30lbs! 12lbs less than my aguilar!) excites me more than anything?

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' post='946627' date='Sep 5 2010, 08:26 PM']Also who really wants to watch a video of all of Jay Kay's toys? We all know he has a Ferrari and fking great big house so don't need to be shown it all the time thanks.[/quote] The video is like that because they only JUST finished the track and haven't produced the official video, so they just set it to montage of stuff that was easy to shoot/photograph.

[quote name='JFielden' post='946608' date='Sep 5 2010, 08:05 PM']I also have seriously incurable G.A.S Cheers![/quote] UH-OH! Bass chat will not help you overcome this problem. If anything, it'll make it worse lol P.S. WELCOME!

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='946616' date='Sep 5 2010, 08:13 PM']I think, like most artists, Jamiroquai reached their peak years ago.[/quote] And like most artists past their best, they're making as much out of the horrible big-wig C**TS at the record label as they can before they are forced to stop lol!

Can't explain it mate. You'll have to wait and view it some other time.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='946580' date='Sep 5 2010, 07:43 PM'][/quote] Haha Genius! Nearly as good as this [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0...feature=related[/url]

Doesn't say whether it's in stock, but try this? [url="http://www.chamberlainmusic.com/productdetail.asp?ProductID=HGC-VB"]http://www.chamberlainmusic.com/productdet...roductID=HGC-VB[/url] Might end up being a little bit closer to £70 though :S

[quote name='dood' post='915186' date='Aug 4 2010, 05:33 PM']Anyone want to fill in my post for me? You know what I'm gonna say!!!! :wub: I adore the Hartke 4.5XL cabs. I used to run two with an Ampeg SVT 2 Pro. I now own the LH1000 with a pair of HyDrive 410's. Brilliant bits of kit - and I am expecting the rig to show up with me on Channel 4 in coming weeks! I'll keep you posted when it's due to happen. My danveall.com pic! [/quote] Someone has stolen your headstock!!!

[quote name='dood' post='946522' date='Sep 5 2010, 06:54 PM']They do! There's a GS112 sized HyDrive cabinet in the offing! - Though I'm not 100% on the release date. I'm looking forward to giving one a whirl.[/quote] WOAAAAAH! I can see the perfect space in my teaching room for it Let me know when this comes out and I'm THERE!

I had a Hartke 410tp (which I have since passed on to CHRISDABASS) and it was awesome. Had it for 4 years and never had a single problem, as well as it being in mint condition when it eventually sold it! All of my students used to love the sound too. As has been mentioned though, it was a little bit too big for me and I have since downsized to an Aggy GS112 which is incredible. If Hartke made more compact gear, I would definately buy more for my teaching/recording space, as they are great for letting students use and all round reliable products

[quote name='ahpook' post='946314' date='Sep 5 2010, 04:11 PM']and somebody might have grassed him up... (sorry)[/quote] Well, at least he didn't get taken for a ride... (sorry, it was too tempting!)

Isn't "good example of whammy bar on a bass" the most obvious oxymoron EVER?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='946294' date='Sep 5 2010, 03:58 PM']Oh yeah I was thinking of their drummer. Too many Derricks![/quote] Oh yeah, drummer is also a Derrick Mc(Kenzie). It's weird because i'd never even heard of anyone spelling it as "Derrick" and then you get two in the same band... madness.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='946264' date='Sep 5 2010, 03:39 PM']I thought he still played for them? He wasn't as important to their sound anyway.[/quote] Nah, they have Paul Turner on bass at the moment. He joined in 2005 just after Dynamite (which Derrick played on). Don't Give Hate a Chance is a cracking bass line!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='946235' date='Sep 5 2010, 03:20 PM']Remember when they had Toby Smith and Stuart Zender and their records were interesting?[/quote] OOoooooOOOO, "controversial"! You have forgotten to put Derrick McIntyre on that list!!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' post='946212' date='Sep 5 2010, 02:54 PM']Neck pickup solo'd Marketing says that series switching makes jazz pups sound like P pups. Not in my experience, but you get 6db extra output less highs and more lows and low mids.[/quote] +1. A friend of mine swore blind that his S1 switching made his Jazz sound like a P. Until I let him play my P, flats and all. He now owns 3 P's of his own lol.

[quote name='Randy_Marsh' post='946199' date='Sep 5 2010, 02:43 PM']This has actually just made my day. If you havn't seen the original just youtube Double Rainbow. [/quote] This is genius! Reminds me of this I love Charlie's little "yeaaaah" at 21 seconds lol
