  1. I've had Elixirs on my main basses since 2017 and theyre still bright and clangy. I'm gonna find a few older posts and mention it in there too.
  2. Ee-pip-honey
  3. Passive bass, preferably with single coils, steel roundwounds, low action, and a decent drive pedal. Sansamp will do the job easily enough!
  4. To be fair, standing in front of the guitarist during a solo is like standing in front of the vocalist during the choruses haha
  5. I play passive basses with my fingers and play quite hard. I definitely need compression!

    I wouldn't even be mad

    It's difficult to imagine Peavey making lightweight gear. Maybe it really is that small but still weighs like 40lbs!

    Nice! Hows it sound compared to, say, the old Max / Firebass series amps? I've had Markbass for years but compared to old Peavey stuff it's kinda thin sounding
  9. Glad to see them bringing back sealed cabs! The Classic series cabs are my favourite. I notice that the 4x10 is smaller than mine though, I'd be interested to hear the difference
  10. I forgot to reply here sorry dudes! I received the pickups in the end. Interestingly the pickup covers are no longer removable like on the other two sets I purchased. They might just be glued on but I'm not brave enough to rip them off just yet! The PBXN I bought was the last one the guy had. I spoke to someone at Entwistle to ask if they had been discontinued and I got told "definitely not". They just don't have enough demand currently to make more but they will be coming back!
  11. I thought it was just the plastic covers that were oversized. Couldn't you just buy smaller ones on eBay for a pound and use those?
  12. He says he's sent me a replacement. If it arrives and is actually a PBXN, he either forgot to send the original order, or there is more than one left. I'll post here when it comes. Even if they aren't available in any shops, they may still be possible to source. I managed to buy a pair of neodymium humbuckers by going direct to Entwistle
  13. Wrexham Guitars. Guy said if it doesn't turn up today to let him know so I'm just waiting on Mr Postie with my fingers crossed!
  14. I bought that "last set" a couple of weeks ago and it never arrived. He says it must have been lost in the post.. Lame
  15. No but I got him to stop gigging with a Les Paul which is almost as good!!
  16. I just made my guitarist buy a washburn so I'm guessing yes
  17. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1508147114' post='3390003'] That's a little different, [b]you[/b] usually have to pay to support major artists, and it would potentially be good exposure, rather than playing a holiday camp in the off-peak season. [/quote] My bands support major artists very occasionally. Usually for free or for "ticket deals" that don't make very much. Always make a killing on merch
  18. Got one with steel saddles from Bass Direct. Lovely bright tone just like the stock steel bridge but with a bit more fullness. Only barely noticeable so doesn't requite any tonal adjustments, Just sounds "better" to my ears. Very solid too, them saddles ain't moving!
  19. I'm really struggling to work out what's going on with that bridge
  20. I've heard a ric through an all valve head and a neo cab and there is nothing like it
  21. I read it as holding down a solid groove. "Aggressive" could either refer to tone/playing style, or just the ability to glare at people and look angry
  22. Which generation Foundation is the Peavey neck? I dont recognise it. Wondering if it is the same dimensions as the Zodiac or Millennium as replacing would be well more cost effective th an a refret!
  23. [quote name='ewengcameron' timestamp='1501858688' post='3347860'] I'm in Edinburgh so it is a bit of a drive! Very much welcome to come try out the Matamp though if you do fancy the drive [/quote] Yes Ewen! Very happy with my 400
  24. If there's ever a fee agreed both my bands make sure to get this in writing. Either via email or preferably a signed contract
  25. Classic 400 is my favourite amp ever. Totally worth the weight!
