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.

Cruises - just missed out on one - will be going at some point!
acidbass replied to Telebass's topic in General Discussion
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. -

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!

Squarepusher - 10 songs that taught me how to play bass

Never liked Squarepusher but that's a cracking selection of tunes right there -
Were I to be so bold as to want an 8-string ...
acidbass replied to Happy Jack's topic in Bass Guitars
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

How to stop "on stage" volume from the bass bins
acidbass replied to largo's topic in General Discussion
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.
-
Great bass! I'd imagine she'd respond well to the tort guard and flatwound treatment
-
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!

Bugera Ultrabass 15 and 12 Combos-1000watts
acidbass replied to yorks5stringer's topic in Amps and Cabs
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!
