I'm considering a new bridge for my jazz because the current one has seen better days and was considering a badass? xx

[quote name='Stuee' post='1100899' date='Jan 24 2011, 03:11 PM']Oh I seeee! I thought you'd actually physically found one. I've been after one of these for a while, but I'm not getting one I haven't touched, especially when you've gotta pay import duty, VAT and everything else. Interesting though, ta! [/quote] Ahhh, yeah afraid not. I wouldn't either to be honest, you can read all the blurb you want about a bass but you don't know if it fits 'till you've tried it on! xx

[quote name='Stuee' post='1100841' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:31 PM']So where, pray, did you find this old Hag? [/quote] There's one on ebay: [url="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130477907247"]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=130477907247[/url] But I stumbled across it on some random website, aha here's the chap: [url="http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/hag8.php"]http://www.vintageguitars.org.uk/hag8.php[/url] A nice find, step up from the usual hags that I come across.... xx

When I first caught a glimpse I thought it was some kind of roadworn effect, but I think it's beautiful! That said, I hate traditional sunburst colours though.... xx

[quote name='hillbilly deluxe' post='1100795' date='Jan 24 2011, 02:09 PM']Hagstrom 4 string. [url="http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Bass_Guitars/Bass_Guitars/Bass/sc1114/p8828.aspx"]http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Bass_Guitars/...1114/p8828.aspx[/url][/quote] I don't like those newer ones though, the left horn (top if you're playing it) has been extended and looks awful now IMO... xx

[quote name='dlloyd' post='1100757' date='Jan 24 2011, 01:32 PM']That's a Hagstrom 8 string...[/quote] Yeah I know but before today I had never heard of them, just looking for a few names of other lesser known basses along the same lines. Just looking for something a bit different... xx

Greetings, I've spend the afternoon having a poke around for some random, obscure vintage basses. Found this guy and loved it, if it were a 4-string (and I wasn't so earth shatteringly broke) I'd buy the hell out of it! Hagstrom F-800 Had never heard of the make until now, are there any other wierd and wonderful old bass makes that are less heard of? I really want to get my hands on an old bass but don't have a few grand to shell out on a decent nick p-bass, although this is making me swoon so hard! '78 P Bass, Antigua Finish So yeah, any oldies that may have passed us whippersnappers by? xx

I do agree that live you tend to take a sound you like and stick to it, but the reason I like the idea of the line 6 is the fact that when it comes to recording you can have a great deal of tweakability. I don't really use pedals, I just play the same sound throughout my set, but recording, different sounds would lend themselves to different tracks. Last time I was in a studio I used a line 6 pod against my will... there was an Ampeg svt-3 sitting there but he swore by the POD (wish I knew which model it was)... turns out he was right, it was excellent. Looking to start doing some serious recording work at home and I love the idea of having a rig which I can run into a DAW (especially one that's protools compatible..) and go with. Especially if the same rig can be used for guitar.. Enjoying the different viewpoints on it all though! Current train of thought is to pick up an XT on the cheap with the bass plugins and use that for a while, if I hate it I'll sell it on and get a sansamp or something next to try. All in the X3 appears to be more or less the same as the XT but with a few bell and whistles, the main one being that it can run two channels simultaneously, but I'm hearing that it sounds awful... xx

Fairly glad it's that way round, not a fan of pedalboards as a general rule, much prefer rackmounted gear. I'd assume you could download patches for bass effects.. Unless there's a bass specific one in the tubes... *shrug* Looks like I'm sold though, just gotta scrape some cash together and pick out a power amp to go along with her. Any suggestions..? Looks like I have to find a middle ground between weight and cost... the lighter they are the more expensive they appear to be! xx

The AxeFX doesn't really advertise as being aimed at bassists too, does it come prelaoded with bass amp models too? Didn't realise the thing was so expensive! I'd expect it to have boobs too for that price! xx

Planning on upgrading my bass rig and I want to go with a preamp / power amp affair. Currently using an Ampeg B410 cab with an Ashdown MAG300 but will at some point want to upgrade to an 8x10 or add a 1x15, but that comes later. Have considered a couple of different preamps, but love the look of the line 6 X3 PRO: [url="http://line6.com/podx3pro/"]http://line6.com/podx3pro/[/url] It can model guitar amps as well as bass, so can be used for either which is a lovely touch - as well as having a huge variety of sounds to choose from. I also love that it can be used as a USB interface for recording and again being usable for guitar and bass will make recording and demoing songs a little easier. My question is this: is this bad boy worth taking a punt on, or are there other bits of kit out there that are better? Someone mentioned a Fractal unit that rapes line 6 but they appear to only make guitar units. Anyway: opinions, please? Thankies xx
