[quote name='bassman2790' post='274713' date='Sep 1 2008, 04:32 PM']I've been speaking to Neil Murray (ex Whitesnake, Colosseum etc etc) and he seems to think it's an overdriven amp, possibly an Ampeg too and as I can't afford to fork out for an Ampeg, he's kindly given me pointers to how I might get near the sound.

Thanks for all your posts [/quote]



You should never name drop.

Brad Pitt taught me that.

Fender.

and any bassist that says 'Less is more'.....

Put it up here:

www.musicradar.com/forum

There is a classified section full of teenage guitarists.

8u rack. butterflys on the front lid, door hatch on the back. mounting rail on front.

For sale at the same money I paid to Kiwi about 2 years ago! - £70.




(Rack only - all that gear has gone to the great Ebay already)

I can post but collection would be easier.

Northampton / Bedford areas.

I had the SVP BSP - ran that into a Yamaha P5000 poweramp.

Was very nice indeed - nice full sound for all types if gigs.

The Yammie was very nice. Bit heavy but cheap too. (There is also a P2500 and a P7000 if you want less or more horsepower)

Yes... and an Ampeg SVP BSP too!


It was lovely - but as heavy as Jo Brand.

I have run my Mark Bass 102 HF 2x10 for about a year now.

Very nice indeed, very light -- and as others have said a 2x10 is capable of getting very low indeed. Bit of synth and chorus and the 'Deeper Underground' thickness is right there.

Very nice cab indeed.

I am in 2 minds whether to get a Mark Bass 15 to go with it - or another 2x10 and have a cab each side of the drums...

Lovely sounding things... but my back couldn't cope with a cab weighing 205lb!!

That is almost as much as I weigh!

My old rig (the second version of my stupid set up: Rig of Doom GT) did it:




My basses have 2 outputs though - so I can run completely separate signal chains.


I ran it 2 ways:

1 cab totally clean
1 cab FX and dirt

OR

as the preamps could mix clean and dirty internally

1 cab mix of clean and dirt
1 cab mix of a slightly different clean and dirt


It sounded HUGE!!! The second option effectively allowed me to use frequency dependant drive.


I sold it all to upgrade for the "Rig of Doom V3" which is under contruction at the moment.

I have 2 of these basses (4 strings) and a matching 5.

They are awesome.

50KG!!!! Blimey!

I got rid of my Marshall VBC412s because they weighed that!

Nice specs though.

I don't think I can cope with a 50kg cab again - so that is the Matamp gone as well. Shame that - their guitar gear is fab.

As the title says.

I'm trying to put together a 'try' list.

So far - the Zoot 2x15; the Markbass 2x15.

Must be lightweight / neo


I've never had 15s before - always used 10s or mainly 12s, but I feel the need for low dubby goodness!

I am interested in one of their 2x15s - so If anyone has tried one I'dlove to hear about it!

I have the LM2 head and the front ported 2x10 cab - so effewctively the same thjing.


I have all the EQ on 5 (treble at 7 if I'm using a fretless) and then just tweak the voice controls to the room.

mmm - fair few ideas there.

I wonder if I can find a better clip.

Brand new really - still got the tin. Plugged in about 5 times.

Don't know about you but when I've something to sell I put it in every shop window I deem fit. We'd soon moan if it was posted on another forum and the ad said 'not for sale to non members'.

Stan's a long standing Basschat member with something to sell that we're interested in.

As to why nobody has snapped this up for the modest ask - I'm clueless. If I were Status-less I would do , I can assure you.[/quote]

I have 3 Statii now - and if it wasn't for them, I'd have it.

BTW Dave - your old Energy is still going strong ta! Lovely bass - especially after it had surgery to wedge the extra pickup in it...!

My Statii only have side dots.

Liekt eh above - I didn't realise I didn't use the front ones until they were missing!

I like my BDDI - but then again when the Bass and Treb are set flat it pretty much sounds like I have an amp anyway.

My Statii are pretty bright though, so I'm sure that helps a bit.

Cheers!

The tab is completely different to a 'proper' bass tab book I have.

But looking at YOutube for a live show - it appears that Wolfen-wotsit plays it like the pwoertab version.

As the powertab archive ahs closed - has anyone got the bass part for HYSTERIA on powertab they could email me?

WOW!!!

Me want one! That is lovely indeed

Ace cabs these.

I have a newer one (ported on bottom only) and it sounds huge. Well recommended.

The XT is an amazing bit of kit.

I sold my XT Pro when I got my Mark Bass rig and I miss it hugely.


I shall replace it with an X3 Pro as soon as I can.
