This. I laugh when I see an advert saying "I've put £200 worth of new pickups in it" Yes - and you removed £200 worth of new pickups at the same time.

Lovely. I really want the 5 string version.

Don't forget the American Specials. I think the last run was in 2012. They are a bit lighter, have a slimmer neck (front to back) and are really good value.

Thanks chaps.

Is there anything that sounds like a 1990s Trace? The super deep sort of slappy goodness? Ideally without the weight, but all information is welcome.

I'd like a tuner, a good compressor and a mute switch. That'll do me.

I have enjoyed the demos of them. I seemed to have stopped looking at new basses to buy and instead I'm gassing for more amps! Gawd knows why, I only have 1 cab!

I had a Demeter head for a while. Falls into the "should never have sold it" bracket.

The GSS Baby Sumo is apparently very good, but it seems to have disappeared from their website. The Demeter Minnie 800D is ace. I'd like one myself. The Matrix stuff is excellent, but that's getting bigger. Rack mount stuff in 1u or 2u options.

They aren't heads. They are power amps with an EQ. I asked them when the first one came out about suitability for bass and they said no. So I didn't look further. There are a couple of threads on the fretboard where a design issue has been discovered where unplugging can lead to the user getting a jolt!

Tort is nasty in all circumstances.

I had an app on my ipad called "Sight Reading Trainer" and it was ace. I've recently upgraded my ipad and I can't find the app in the store anymore. Does anyone know if it has just been renamed, or if it is gone forever? It doesn't show up in my 'past downloads' list anymore. I really liked using it. It would show a couple of staves worth of music to sight read and then play it back to me so I could hear how it was supposed to sound like. Any ideas? Or for a replacement if the app isn't about any more. ta.

I agree. P bass. Tone rolled off a little. Probably straight into the board. Bit of compression. maybe, just maybe some light muting going on. A lightweight and narrow bit of foam maybe.

Do you mean the size of the parts or the different number of pole pieces? If the latter - just tape over them. Nothing more to see!

Of course I do - I'd bring her sister as well.

As long as there's no knickers, I'm game.

Are newly built ones reliable now? I quite like the idea of having one.

That might be a fair bit to do with the cab. It tops out at a pretty low 4 Khz. The tweeter cabs go all the way to 20 Khz - just like the Mark Bass Marcus cabs, and he's got plenty of top end.

Youtube demos of bass amps have to be one of the most pointless things on earth. I have the Gold Line version of the amp so it has a semi para rather than the Millerizer / Old School thing but TBH I don't really use those controls. The regular EQ on it does all I need 99% of the time. The para is useful for taming the very highs if needed but I use flats mostly so it's not an issue. I find it nice and warm even with a BF Super Twin. Definitely sounds better than youtube suggests.

HX Stomp? No touch screen though. I think the only touchscreen items are the Headrush and the Neural Quad Cortex.

Yes. Much better than the regular ones - the EQ centres are far more sensible.

Can the OP post a link? I might want to contribute to the replies....
