[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1352671501' post='1866013'] Hiya matey, I've had a couple of hours with it now and I can honestly say it's superb, solo it has a poise and clarity I've not known in a bass before and in the mix it has sufficient low and low mid impetus to power through in a classic rock style or mix in a bit of bridge pup and you've got fingerstyle funk but with more guts than any other bass I've had. Bridge pup only gives a superb solid quack. It's heavy but beautifully balanced so that despite playing standing for a while my shoulder is fine and dandy! Its weight also translates into a real feeling of substance, in that, it feels real in your hand, not some pansy necked lightweight balsa nasty, but a glorious marriage of pieces of wood! I'm sold. The preamp is the dogs b€£&€$&s too, and with the pups, provides a vast array of possible tones, I played everything from abba, Jackson 5, wham, Texas, bad company, Steppenwolf, queen, Paul Simon, journey, mika, the fratellis, Whitney Houston and van Halen this evening and with a flick of a knob or two I got each bass sound close enough that it sat right in each track, mid peaks in the right places, everything! Well impressed!! [/quote] That's awesome mate! My experience of ACGs is that they have a lot more guts too and the bridge pickup solo'd always sounds surprisingly full and punchy! Nice Eude

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1352706751' post='1866245'] I've never owned a Peavey at any point in my career... [/quote] Give it time, give it time...

Hey man, how you getting on with the new bass? It's an absolute peach! (sorry, no new pics from me, was up a ladder painting ceilings all weekend, was dark before I got down, on Saturday and Sunday , maybe next weekend...) Eude

Fantastic news dude! Peavey amps are amazing, everyone owns a Peavey some point in their career. I used to have a 600W 2 x 4x10 Peavey stack back in the day, they don't make them light but they make them very very solid and that barky aggressive tone is always marvelous, even they're little practice amps sound good! Cheers, Eude

Very nice dude

Congrats matey! Can't wait to hear how you get on I intend to take some reasonable pics of my ACG family this weekend, assuming the light is OK, we all expect you to do something similar Eude

Ah, so you're the lucky guy! Congrats dude, that's one hell of a bass! Eude

Still no pics of this little rig?...

If you can find the other £50, this would be worth every single penny >> http://www.gak.co.uk/en/peavey-tour-tko-bass-combo/26236 Easy enough to move around by yourself, it'll fit in a corsa and it will be VERY loud when compared to the competition, Peavey Watts tend to be a lot louder than regular ones... Eude

Hubba hubba!

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1352116725' post='1858821'] It's just gorgeous, such understated class to it! I've just dealt with the invoice so it should be shipped Thursday for a Friday delivery [/quote] Splendid! Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1352107118' post='1858637'] thanks matey, pics indeedy will be provided when we are reunited via the medium of courier service (probably the end of this week)... [/quote] Fantastic! We'll be the only folks with Ziracote topped ACGs, as far as I'm aware Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1351983365' post='1857655'] I went to visit Alan last week and nr 0100 is coming to live in my house!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1351695267' post='1854307'] There is plenty of debate over these modules. I think the key is that GBenz really know how to make a module give its all with clever technology and cooling methods. I would be quite interested to see the 900 watt GB amps tested. The Streamliner is an absolute volume hammer though. [/quote] That's a good point mate, I don't ever recall folks complaining about the GB's being too quiet, maybe Fender don't know what they're doing, or perhaps they borrowed the means to test wattage off Peavey... Eude

For what it's worth, I've heard that the power stage in the Fender Rumble 350 is identical to the one in the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0. Fender rate it at 350W, GB at 600W... Eude

You could go for an Ibanez Promethean combo (the older style one, the new one is only 300W without the removable head, or one of the HB or Red Sub ones, if you don't mind slumming it ... Small foot print, very small in the case of the Ibby, 500W removable head, 8 Ohm speaker out. Loud enough for small gigs on its own and for on stage monitoring for anything bigger with PA support. There's also the MiBass 220 with their Mi10 cab, would have a similar footprint to the Promethean. Heard wonderful things about the Ashdown MiBass kit. There's always one of these too >> http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=86 EBS Reidmar with one of the EBS 1x10 NEO Cabs? Oh, and there's a few Phil Jones combos which might be interesting, although they're all a bit quiet, more intended for an acoustic environment, and may be a little hifi sounding. Eude

Very nice dude

That is an absolute peach mate

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1351599940' post='1853059'] Hi Bud, I went for 45-105's. They're really nice strings eh !! Kind on the fingers too. I'll soon be ordering another set for my Jazz Bass as well. [/quote] Very nice Must put in an order for some more methinks... Eude

[quote name='Dr Chocolate' timestamp='1351589921' post='1852868'] Absolutely stunning collection you've got there!!! After your fretless GAS you could get a 3 string and a 7 string to complete the set If ever you get bored of playing them, I know of a good home for them... [/quote] Ha ha, thanks man I reckon a fretless will complete the justifiable basses anyway, probably never going to want a 7 string though, bit too big for me, a 3 string might be fun though... Will keep you in mind if they need a holiday Eude

I keep bugging them about making a kick back 1x12 combo with a removable 500W head, with a matching 1x12 cab, or perhaps make it stack nicely with the RS112 cab... Something a bit cheaper than the RH range, with a simpler front end, like the BH250 would be perfect, although I would prefer separate low and high mid controls. I'd buy one in a hot minute! Eude

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1351544878' post='1852504'] What a lovely trio ! [/quote] Why thank you All I need now is a fretless...

Nice What gauge did you go for? Eude
