I too have seen those very reviews but in my experience it couldn't be further from that. They're definitely worth a try if you're looking for something all valve, but of course it depends on your taste and what you're after. IME I find it sounds better the louder you turn it up. For me it's perfect!!

I used to change mine way too often, but recently i've stopped as I found I prefer the sound when they're well played in. Always used Rotos, never had an issue. DRs are pretty good as well IME with regards to string life.

I'd seriously recommend at least looking into a AD200b. They are beastly amps. Right amount of power and a good drive tone. Can be fat and clean or fat and overdriven. I used to own a 400+ and the headroom on it is astonishing, so much so that it never got turned up past like 2 or 3 on the master.. Which do I prefer? The orange. I like the breakup you get and the rich lows, plus the power is more in my ballpark given the shows I play.

I personally love p bass tone. It most certainly without a doubt has it's place in rock/metal. You can't get [i]that[/i] tone anywhere else. Nothing wrong with any bass in any musical context really imo. It's the player that makes [i]most[/i] of the difference. It's musical expression, not the instrument it's played on ultimately.

Two for me, an active and a passive.

Thanks Sean - means a lot mate I used the blazer on four of the album tracks.. last remaining fixed and dilated galvanised outlook true identity The three songs currently on the myspace I used my spector euro lx. I'll try and get one uploaded so you can hear it tomorrow

Rock sound reviewed our album in this month's issue and gave it 8/10

I've always used Rotos. I do find them a bit rough initially, but after say 30 mins playing they're broken in lovely jubbly. Always had good results with them! Love the sound when they're dead as well!

I've got one of these for my AD200B. Top covers indeed!

Sweet looking bass Gaf!

Backed... Absolutely stunning feel and sound. Recorded a couple of tunes using it the other night, through a orange thunderverb 200 and my nv610. Possibly my favourite sound ever! Trouble is they're super addictive. I'm on the lookout for one in natural now. Oh and...get some pics up!

whats the waiting list like if you don't mind me asking dr? I'm seriously thinking of getting one as well..

Rest in peace Steve
