And I bet some unprofessional 14 year old lad was still such an idiot to not take a spare wall of sound too, I'd not even lend him a plectrum just to teach him a lesson!

As others have said though that isnt the only criticism is it? Some dont like the middy sound others feel that the build quality of the cabs isnt great, some just dont like the look of the cabs. Anyone who points this out is just a troll trying to ruin a small company and anyone that glosses over them is a fan boi, rinse and repeat.

My nearest gig/town from home other than the village pub is 7 miles away up a winding hilly lane, so as Duncan would say "amm ooot"

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1413722499' post='2581190'] You still have to be careful Cmajor is not Aminor. There are very subtle differences. [/quote] Well I will end up a lot closer playing C major over an A minor piece than I will playing A major over it, major minor clang

I already made a suggestion that Genz-Benz could make an Shuttlemax 18.2, a hybrid of the 12.2 that use two 600watt classD amps but with the 900 watt power modules from the Shuttle/max 9.2, with all the features of the Shuttlemax 9.2 yet you could run 4 8ohm 4x10 cabs or a pair of big 4 ohm 2x12s etc, 1800 watts into 16 10" drivers with a clean and dirty channel what is not to like?! Lets get Jeff Genzler out and back into production again

John is the man, I have put one in my ClassicRay5 as the stock one wasn't right imo

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1413619482' post='2580134'] I took out a couple of antagonistic posts here. Just be warned, keep it civil. [/quote] I just checked in to see if there are anymore facts come to light as I saw it was up to 4 pages, alas there is not but that doesn't stop people defending her or others defending the immigration officers does it, As we know nothing more it remains 50/50 either a shame for her or a job well done by the authorities.

My own ability never got past about my 3rd bass owned, after that it has been "wants rather than needs"

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1413673424' post='2580883'] 1st - Is the only difference in the instrument exactly the same except for the body wood? Or, are there other differences in the design/implementation? 2nd - It's quite easy for 'everyone' to think something, and for it be wrong. Look at the history of science, it is full of examples. [/quote] 1-Afaik they are no different to a 3 eq ray with a RW board but with a mahogany body instead of ash. 2- that is true but they made 783 of them and the punchy comments have come from lovers and haters of the brand rather than fan bois only. They are however strung through which is a whole fresh debate!

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1413669441' post='2580846'] My body wood made a baby. [/quote] BigRedX has already suggested that the way the glue is spread could be a factor!

The one fly in the ointment is the mahogany Stingray 30th anniversary model, everyone has agreed that it sounds different to every other Stingray made of the more usual,ash,alder or poplar. More punchy comes up everytime?

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1413669493' post='2580847'] Excellent! ;-) [/quote] it's all in the name of science, I've no idea what the others are made of actually or from how many pieces of wood, the Classic is a single slab of ash.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1413665248' post='2580800'] You say 'tomato' and I say 'solanum lycopersicum'. [/quote] You need some cream for that then, couples of weeks and it will be fine I dont think there is much a good 5 string Jazz with active/passive options can't do?

I've got three stingray 5s, one is ash and a trans finish the other two are solid, I'll just grab a chisel and report back..........

The ASAT looks ace and B strings rule

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1413662540' post='2580757'] If the wood species of the top alone could change the sound, then you'd expect the wood species of a solid one piece body to make an even bigger difference. Hence, that would seem to be the logical experiment to try first. BTW: I'm not saying that you think that the wood species of the top will make a difference, I'm just talking about what the most logical experiment to perform first would be. [/quote] Even then what are we going to measure, no one here can agree exactly what, darker, clanky, growly, thin, boomy, brittle, etc is can they?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1413661627' post='2580744'] I acquired an SB2 recently... It's exceptional. But now I've got GAS for an M2000. [/quote] Why no tribute Asat and why no asat five strings?

Not many basses are made from solid fancy wood though are they, also these claims are often made when its only a top added that has supposedly altered the tone, "spalted woodius wormus top adds amazing top end zing compared to my book matched rotten knotted hazelnut one" etc

I really like them blue, cool

I've no idea why I've never owned a G&L?

I hope so, maybe he has just stopped selling them rather than Clover stopping making them.

I fancied trying an Apieron 5 or however its spelt

Just doing my bi monthly scan of basses for sale and one of the brands I click on, clover, has gone?
