Hi
Is this amp still available. If so, could we meet in Perth. I live in Stirling.

Has anyone ever responded to these Ebay ads for EUBs from Chinese sellers? Some off them look poor quality and others I am not sure about. I know that there is some good stuff comes out of China from some of the saxophones that they produce but I suppose, like everything, you have to know the company.

The ampeg looks good. I see that it can be bought new for £300. What about putting guitar through it or is this a no no without a tweeter?
Anyone got opinions about DI from the amp V DI straight into the recorder or through an amp modeller. I use a Line 6 pro thinggy with my geetah. -
Hi Just got a nice MM SUB through a Basschat member. Looking for an amp/cab or combo. I only record at home and don't gig. Main problem is that I lack space in the studio so it/they have to be as shallow as poss. I do not need power (although I am aware that a bigger amp at number one is better than a smaller amp at 10). I do want quality sound and would like a 15 or bigger speaker/ driver for bottom end. I am a big fan of the old valve/analogue sound. Those are my thoughts. Feel free to tell me that I am talking bollocks etc, that is why I am writing this cos if I knew what I wanted I would not be writing this. Afraid that I only have a budget of around £300.

I am and old newbeee. Been playing guitar most of my life. Just took up bass to do some home recording a couple of years ago. As you know recording is a money-eater. I have been putting the bass straight into the recorder (am changing from Akai DPS16 to Focusrite pro computer audio interface). I want better results and was wondering about micing an amp. I don't want the expense of 2 good amps so was thinking about a bass combo that I could play my guitar through as well. I use Tokai strat and a Fernandez (humbuck pups). My bass is a EBMM SUB. Have some pretty good mics.

thanks for all the advice. I got myself an EBMM SUB from this site. Very pretty. Strings are very light but great action and intonation compared to the MIM precision that I have been slogging. thould really get myself a combo amp but I am reluctant to have both a guitar and bass amp. Anything to stop you having a guitar through a bass amp?

Jimmy Hughes here in Stirling Scotland. Would like to buy your SUB but I'm afraid that you would have to post it. I have a Paypal account or can send a cheque.

Would take it but I am in Stirling Scotland.

Yes you are absolutely correct. I went through a few mallets and a few strings before I found a light rubber mallet. I feel slightly embarrassed about it among a bunch of pro slappers (although whatsisname who plays with Peter Gabriel does so on occasion). I really like the tone that comes from the mallet. It is also easier if you have to record for 2 days solid every couple of months. Unfortunately it requires hauzers on the instrument. I thought maybe a short scale bass may help. Looking into the Yam RGX A2. Would like a Stingray but not sure if it is too light.

Would be interested in a look at both these. I am from Stirling but am in Glasgow today until 1200. My mobile is 07982 719713.

Hi
Looking for some advice. I am about to buy a bass. I don't play live and due to noise restrictions I record directly into my PC based audio interface (focusrite pro 40). I don't care if the instrument looks like my uncle Deaks' dog, all I need is a good sound. I am actually a guitar/sax player (don't they make theee worst bassists) that plays simple bass to write songs. I have developed a technique that requires the heaviest strings possible on a bass (no slappin or tech stuff). I therefore would like an instrument with a neck like Arnie Swartz that still stays in toon up the frets. I do like the sound of the Yam RGX A2 but not sure if it is up to the job. I assume that the heavier the strings you put on, the more torque you put on the neck? I have a budget of around £500.
Amp line out recording
in Recording

Looking for general pointers on recording bass. I don't have a lot of space so since I only record(don t gig) I was thinking about getting a quality bass head (was thinking Markbass or ?) and recording from the line out. I have been recording several years, using Sonar for the last 2. I have been DI ing. Looking to improve my bass sound although the DI is OK. I have a 78 Ricky 4001 and an MM SUB. I know that many bass line out channels are of poor quality and you get a better mic ed sound but I also have a sound level issue. Have recently bought an AxeTrak for the guitar but am concerned about the quality of that. Would be interested in what other folk do.
