    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1345816110' post='1781941'] Personally I don't want to read about basses that I find hanging on the wall in my local music shops. I can go and try them out any time I feel like and make up my own mind about them. What I want is reviews of instruments that are less easy to get hold of to see if it's worth making the effort to find one to try for myself. [/quote] Mee too. I don't buy the mag to remind me of my mundane life, I buy it to be thrilled that something like a Fodera or a Ritter even exists.

    Conversely if a real but non-celeb owned Dumble Super Overdrive amp comes on sale it will make £30K even if it was on fire.

    I am having serious difficulties preventing myself from buying a Super12T. I fear the next time I drink I will be unable to stop myself!

    IIRC the only really valuable amp that has gone to auction was a Hendrix owned Plexi. Fully authenticated and restored by Marshall. Went for over £100K I think.

    Full fees for missed lessons / cancelled with less than 48 hours notice. No new booking without payment up to date. Students who don't want to learn are not worth it.

    I like that!

    [quote name='deefer_dog' timestamp='1342788156' post='1740940'] [u][b]I posted maple for body, it's actually ash.[/b][/u] They are the same as an SX SJB 75 B. Just rebranded..... Seriously tempted for 120 yo-yo's. [/quote] Good job too. All maple bodies are monster heavy

    How noisy are the fans on these?

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1345555611' post='1778757'] This. But amp-wise, as previously mentioned, the Hartke LHs give clarity (and volume) for very little cash. [/quote] Agreed - I have one, and I really like it for that reason.

    Some clean amps I like, some dirty amps I like.

    [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1345550844' post='1778667'] I suspect there's some confusion of terminology in this thread, where some people are thinking of clean as un-distorted and others (myself included) are thinking of it as un-coloured - not saying either are correct, but it might account for why people are saying Markbass are really clean, when - IME - they colour the sound remarkably. [/quote] I was thinking clean = no drive / clipping at all. If I want Uncoloured - then the bass goes DI into the desk.

    The crap spouted about laminates amuses me greatly. "Got to be solid" etc. Of course there are different quality laminates ranging from B&Q.... to Alembic. Nowt wrong with laminate at all.

    I've gone a bit mad with the G.A.S lately so I need to off load some things. So, for sale is this lovely ESP Eclipse in sunburst. The previous owner put a set of Bareknuckle Crawlers in it and there is a push / pull coil split for both pickups on a tone control knob. It has locking tunes and comes with the official hardcase. It is in excellent condition - would pass for brand new. I'll do some better pics in a day or two, but at the moment...

Collection is preferred, Northants area, but if you want it delivered then I'm happy to pack it up carefully so you can pick the courier you want. ta

    A 120w bulb is actually more bright than two 60w bulbs as it is more efficient in the visible spectrum. But you measure that in lumens and not the watt rating.

    What are the new Trace heads like? As clean as the originals?
  19. fretmeister
    I'd vote LM3 or Genz Shuttle The Hartke LH500 is very clean too, especially if your bass hasn't got a hot signal.

    I must be slacking. How much power do you need? All of it. Every bit. and then a bit more. my Rig of Doom V2 was 2600W. It was awesome. I've giving serious thought to re-building it with a pair of Barefaced Big Ones.
  21. fretmeister
    Great bargain! One of the best heads about.

    Don't be obsessed with 4x10 cabs. The days of 1x15 are flubby / 4x10s are punchy have long gone.
  23. fretmeister
    I have a TM4 and it's brilliant. Build is probably the best I've seen on a wood neck bass. Sounds bang on too.
  24. fretmeister
    Maple. The answer is always maple, unless the body is sunburst and there is a tortie 'plate.
  25. fretmeister
    Come to think of it - the Marshall VBC412 (a bass specific 4x12) would be a great match for that amp. And it's a 4ohm cab so you'd get all 300W
