I've owned an Ampeg SVT2 Pro... and it was great, but not a patch on a friend's SVT2 (Non-pro) I'm afraid.... Personally, I'd much rather use my Sansamp RPM & RBI preamps through a good power amp for versatility, portability AND tone... It's all IMHO.... and as mentioned in this thread, 99% of the audience could give a damn - they just hear a bass guitar...

Lovely threesome!

Currently 44....with one on the way out the door shortly though...

Vocals: Steve Perry Bass: Tiran Porter Guitars: Reb Beach & Neal Schon Keys/Hammond: Bill Champlin Drums: Neil Peart Brass: Chicago horns, Tower Of Power horns or Memphis horns BV's: Peter Cetera, Michael McDonald & Tommy Shaw Rock and soul with jazz & prog leanings

[quote name='Johnston' post='936955' date='Aug 26 2010, 11:21 AM']Any ideas what this one is?? I couldn't find a clip of the red one I thought was a peavey Looked a bit like a T-40 but single pick up I think.[/quote] That's the Roland bass I mentioned before...

Sorry if this has been covered in detail before... I'm interested in adding a black Rickenbacker (style) bass to my arsenal, but I have a couple of questions.... 1) What is the main difference between a 4001 and a 4003? 2) I don't/won't have the cash to buy a real one so, of all the Japcrap etc copies over the years, which is/are the best/most authentic copies and what should I expect to pay for one in excellent condition? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[quote name='basshead56' post='936447' date='Aug 25 2010, 09:35 PM']There was a Fender Japan Phil Lynott sig. Only made for 2 years IIRC. (sure there was a thread here before)[/quote] Correct! I have one... and I believe one other board member has one too (but changed his scratchplate to a black one...)

Wal Mk1 Custom Pedulla Buzz I've owned both (still own the Wal) and I bought them because they 'spoke' to me more than any other fretless.... tried Stingrays, Jazz's etc and though very good they didn't come close to the Wal & Pedulla....

Lots

:blush: :blush: :blush: Beers and basses soon Mike eh?

Sold my Pedulla to Anthomp. VERY easy transaction with fast payment and regular communication. Highly recommended!

Big thanks Roy and Antony! You were each a pleasure to deal with - enjoy your purchases!

More of the same.... get another GB1x12

Overlooking the beach in Lloret De Mar, Spain.... or overlooking the beach in Sopot, Poland...

I want to like it, especially as my good mate Mike Brooks writes for it...but each time I browse it in *insert newsagent of your choice* I find little or nothing to interest me. I think that is partly due to my older, more retro tastes and partly due to it being made almost irrelevant by onlike forums like this... I also have no interest in the ramblings of some indie nobody who once played the Pig & Whistle.... or some bloke from a 'churn them out to all sound the same' bass school...

Had a FAB gig at Birkenhead on Saturday.... next stops Bradford & Stourbridge!
