The Aggies do look excellent. Might be worth asking at Matamp Nath, I see they do a 2x12 for £350. Can the Sunn do 2 ohms? Get 2 4ohm 2x12's and you'll be sorted for £700 P.S. I want a shot when you get sorted!

Basszilla, how do you find the Matamp to the Orange you previously had? You did have an Orange didn't you? Maybe I dreamt that

These are the muff's/clones I've had... USA reissue Black russian Green Russian X 2 Green Russian clone Bass Big Muff Wren and Cuff Pickle Pie USA was awful, really tinny and fizzy. Black wasn't much better, bit bassier, but nothing great. The green clone I built sounded awesome, although seems a little less bassy than an actual green one. Bass Big Muff was great. I'd recommend this if you can find one. Wren and Cuff was really great too. The Sovtek's are wonderful. I stupidly sold one, but bought another soon after. Maybe it's a placebo because it's a huge old box and all knackered and old, but it sounds so huge and punches you in the face with bassy fuzz. I adore the sound. They're going for around 100-160 now, but the Bass big muff came pretty close to it. As I say, I'd wait for one of those. Or get a Sovtek if you're rich

I played at the first Kendal Calling festival in 2006. Headliners that weekend were Pendulum and British Sea Power. No really crazy stories...I drank Little Man Tate's Red Stripes, and my singer was hanging with BSP backstage. It was a lovely day so that helps and has now grown into a pretty huge festival up North! I was digging in pretty hard (nerves maybe?) and ended up rubbing the skin off my wrist and bled all over my P-Bass. Good times. Nice to think I was there at the beginning

Very nice, I miss the days when I built pedals. I made a red llama too, and it sounded excellent on bass. Someone on here has it now I think. I believe the infamous Bogdan Polish Love is based on the llama too.

Hi Nath, I totally forgot about your offer actually! I've just put my name down to try the Barefaced Compact that's going round the country, so it would be excellent to try the bassman when it arrives. Are you up north much these days? If you're interested we could try the Compact with the bassman and sunn PM me if you like

Forgot to say, I'm away most of September so if it's due to come to me in September I'll have to pull out as I don't want to keep hold of the cab for 3 weeks when other people could be using it. I guess we'll know nearer the time whereabouts it is.

Due to various things (not least of which being a pallet of woofers vanishing) revised routes as follows: Route 1: musicman20 cleethorpes casapete hull finbar sheffield sean.robinson rotherham monz barnsley hubrad bradford rik (esa) bradford wateroftyne newcastle delberhot camelon lemmywinks blackpool [b]umcoo lancaster[/b] josh3184 preston guyl manchester bassbunny manchester bass culture chester protium chester mike 257 wirral steve soar wirral I'd like to be added in Lancaster if possible? I'm through in Blackpool quite regularly for work and Preston's 30 mins away aswell. Hope that's ok. Cheers

How dirty can Fender Bassmans get? I've played vegashooker's 135 and it had a wonderful tone, but I can't recall if it was really driven hard. I'm throwing around the idea of a Bassman 70 or 100 and a Barefaced Compact so I can be loud enough for gigs, but get into power amp overdrive pretty easily. Thanks for all the suggestions already, by the way!
