    The Fender Rumble combos (version 3 with silver cloth) are cracking amps for the £££

    I love not having a normal Saturday night. Friends/coworkers talk about how they love sitting in watching X Factor, eating Chinese food, getting drunk etc. I couldn't think of three things I'd rather do less! Plus - when you have a day job like me, it is something to look forward to in the evenings or at weekends. I like living a double life!

    For the guys who use a U5 straight into an amp and cab - Do you find that you miss having control over EQ at all? I am intrigued by the simplicity of the setup.

    A few friends of mine do it. Generally I think the best preparation is to brush up on your reading, as sometimes you can be playing as part of 5 or 6 different bands on one cruise, meaning 5 or 6 different pads with 30 - 40 songs each, and it would be impossible to perfect in advance. Make sure to have fun when you are out there! Great experience by all accounts.

    Bump for price drop:D

    Absolutely agree with Lozz above - the Fender Custom Shop 62 pickups are immense.

    Ireland's finest! A band would never get away with releasing the Cletus Clark song nowadays!

    Never liked Squarepusher but that's a cracking selection of tunes right there

    You should take a look at Waterstone Guitars, if you haven't already. Used by Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick amongst others.

    Hi all, Used flatwound string sets for sale. Only had a few hours use as was trying to gauge what brand I liked. These are both very popular types of flatwound string and I am selling them for half what I paid for them. The silks have been cut slightly to fit J and P style basses but will also go onto a Stingray etc no problem. [u]La Bella 760FL flats (43-104)[/u] [b]*** SOLD ***[/b] [u]Thomastik Infeld Jazz flats JF344 (43-100)[/u] 1 set available [b]*** SOLD ***[/b] [attachment=201097:20150918_193713-1.jpg][attachment=201098:20150918_193721-1.jpg] Payment by Bank Transfer preferred but happy to accept Paypal (gift option) also if you prefer. These will be shipped to you on Saturday morning (26th September) as I am away from home until then. Best Danny

    [b]***SOLD***[/b] Hi all, Selling my Ashdown ABM 500w head (Evo III model). I have had this head for around a year and have decided to sell as I am thinning out my gear, and have a new car incoming. Great sounding head and VERY LOUD (rated at 575w at 4 ohms). There really is no substitute for that big transformer tone and this head has punch to spare! I paired it with a Barefaced cab and it was superb. I found the EQ section lent itself very well to P and J-style basses. [attachment=201092:ashdown1.png] Full specs [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/Bass-Amplification/18/Legacy/20/ABM-500-EVO-III/"]HERE[/url] I only have stock photos at the moment but will take photos of the actual head when I am home next weekend. It is literally in perfect condition with not a mark on it anywhere - it has been kept in a heavy duty Ashdown padded cover for all of it's life so far (which is included in the sale) [b]***SOLD***[/b] Best Danny

    [b]***SOLD***[/b] Hi all, Selling my trusty Bugera Veyron BV1001T amp head. If you are reading this, then you probably know all about them (see thread in praise of them [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/258138-bugera-veyron-t/page__view__findpost__p__2755395__hl__veyron__fromsearch__1"]HERE[/url]). [attachment=201089:veyron1.jpg] [attachment=201090:veyron2.jpg] Full Spec [url="http://www.music-group.com/Categories/Bugera/Bass/Bass-Head-Amplifiers/BV1001T/p/P0AED/Features"]HERE[/url] Basically a clone of a GB Streamliner. Three valves in the preamp coupled with a digital power section. Optimistically rated at 2000w peak, but probably closer to 500w at 4 ohms volume-wise. Bought mine from that big German retailer a few months ago, and has been stored in a custom-fit hard case from day 1 (which is included in sale) It's a super-versatile head with a lovely valve warmth on tap - the EQ is very musical and there is loads of volume to spare - I've never had the Master knob past 10 o clock, even on loud gigs. I find it is great for modern sounds and it works particularly well with my Stingray. I'm only selling as I have way too much gear, and have a new car incoming! Only have stock photos at the moment but it is literally in perfect condition, and I will take photos of the exact head when I am home next weekend (if she doesn't sell by then) [b]***SOLD***[/b]Bank Transfer preferred but Paypal is no problem (gift option!). Any questions - feel free to PM Best Danny

    I find that having the bass bins on the dancefloor, as opposed to the stage where the band are, helps a lot. Certainly removes a lot of that unwanted 'boom' that you sound like you are enduring.

    Thomann's prices do change frequently. The Avalon U5 DI has varied massively over the last few months.
  19. acidbass
    Great bass! I'd imagine she'd respond well to the tort guard and flatwound treatment
  20. acidbass
    I used to dep a lot when I was between bands - in one month I played with 8 different acts. All good advice given so far. A good sense of humour is a must too - especially when long car/van journeys are involved!
  21. acidbass
    Based on the BV1001 heads being rated at 2000w peak and 500w RMS, I would reckon these are rated no more than 250w at 4ohms, and probably 125w at 8ohms. Still looks like a tidy bit of kit tho!

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1438298574' post='2833460'] In the fact that some people don't really like the beatles now, probably as a lot didn't really like the beatles then [/quote] Yeah, it's just OAP conjecture for me. I love the Beatles. The Beatles have influenced my approach to music, almost exclusively. How does that make me different to anyone in the 60s, apart from having tons of other influences to accredit?
  23. acidbass
    In my eyes, the ability to take all the influences from the past 50 years until now, reference them and create something new to move music forward, takes a lot more skill and tact than doing the same in the 60's.

    Me too - is there ever an end to it? Currently I own and can justify the following: - 4 String Jazz fretted with rounds - 4 String Jazz fretted with flats - 4 String P/J fretless with rounds - 4 String Precision with flats - 4 String Stingray Hankering after a 5 string Stingray now too! Jah help us all.

    I don't think Ashdown amps are more unreliable than any other brand. They come with a 3 year warranty as standard, with the option of extending to 5 years if you send away the warranty card. Their customer service is brilliant too - particularly Guy Morel in their spares department who is extremely helpful. I got some replacement control knobs sent to me the next day after speaking with him. Thumbs up from me!
