    Agreed i've just bought one and it has to be the best amp i've ever used in over 40yrs of playing. Valve warmth and tubiness with lots of EQ possibilities. I tend to run mine flat and depending on bass used a little touch on the bass and i mean a little touch. I've never known a bass amp that has a depth of tone like this and yet the mids are still so clear and not muddy when boosted. I'm using a Jazz or a P/J bass with it. I would have had this earlier had i lived nearer but hoepfully it will sell soon especially at that price. GLWTS Dave

    Not a prob visog. Its what makes for an interesting thread. Totally agree that Geddy's tone has changed quite a bit over the years. I just liked the way his WAL sounded so sharp and clear. It doesn't have that deeper bottom end but for me it suited the music at that time. Think i had WAL gas at that time too so that didn't help. Moving Pictures also another fav bass tone. I actually liked his sound from Farewell to Kings album which is also when i first saw them. Think his tone will always get us bassists debating but that's Geddy for you. Dave

    Not at all. I had an issue with a metal splinter in my fingertip and altho i eventually managed to get it removed it was still quite painful so i tried Voltarol and it worked a treat. Don't use it now that its healed properly. But i have to say it did the job. I got that tip from a bass forum somewhere. Might have been BC or TB. Dave

    Use some Voltarol on your finger tip when playing. Stops the pain quite well. Dave

    Great news sir and the bug has bitten you again. Good to see you are back into playing again. Dave

    Yep i was gonna go for Geddy's WAL sound but changed to Neil Murray who was probably more of an influence on me along with Jack Bruce. DAve
  7. dmccombe7
    Neil Murray on this

    Its all about what you get from it. Unless like Bluewine and its your job of course. So what, taking a small loss for your hobby is well worth the enjoyable experience. Well done. Dave

    That Darkglass produces a nice deep sound. Its not what i was expecting from it. Very nice. Dave

    Oooohhhhh GIN

    What happened to this thread ? its went a bit astray by sound of it. Dave
  12. dmccombe7
    That's quite a thunderous tone there. Loving that. What gear are you using here. Looks like Musicman bass into amp ? and barefaced cab maybe ? Dave

    Great set list. Moonage Daydream is a great song for bass playing and i noted that's on the to do list. Dave
  14. dmccombe7
    Fantastic set list and a few i don't recognise. I'll be keeping an eye out for you guys up here. I do Jean Genie and Rebel Rebel in our Glam Rock covers band and i just love doing Trevor Bolders bass lines plus the songs are just so rewarding to play and they give you that little lift when finished. Great stuff and long may your success continue. Dave

    Excellent. Loved it.

    I'd go to that gig

    Really like the look of those basses and great price but i'm down-sizing my collection at moment. GLWTS Dave

    Thanks Paul, was nice meeting you. Sorry the weather was a bit wild and wet. Dave

    Bass now sold to our very own Paul W on BC. Paul drove up from Doncaster and we met up at Penrith. Such a nice guy to talk basses with. No hassle transaction and i will be happy to leave positive feedback when i can find him on feedback forum. Dave
  20. dmccombe7
    Done
  21. dmccombe7
    Will be taking a bass down to Penrith area either Wed this week or sometime next week if that helps anyone along the route or nearby. Could meet up the same day. Dave
  22. dmccombe7
    You would have been cheaper picking up the Magellen too Dave

    I have a slight loss in my right ear but still above average for my age group including the dropped frequency. With your hearing being ok and good its kind of left me a bit stumped why you can't hear your bass. I can only imagine that it must be down to the tone from your bass or amp but even that would surprise me. Stumped !!! Dave
  24. dmccombe7
    Can't remember if this was asked already but have you had your hearing tested. Its possible the bass frequencies in your hearing are low ? Not sure how that all works but i was told that its usually the talking frequencies that are first to go. Dave

    It did post on Fri night Mykesbass. I thought you had posted twice for stereo effect
