  1. A great bass for someone who really needs electronics. I had one and sounded great but couldn't get used to the painted neck. Very very versatile but maybe to electronical for me. Nevertheless a bit underrated because of the shape.

  2. You are referring to the Sterling by Musicman SUB 5 or the Musicman Sterling SUB 5?

    The first one is pretty great bass. Very good finishes and not so great electronics. A bit noisy pre and a very (extremely) hot output Pickup (i screwed mine down to almost bellow the pickguard.

    It has a pretty close Stingray Sound and a very great bass for that price. (bought mine for 220 quid or so second-hand)


    If its the second one (i know the Ray had a SUB version.... Dunno about the Sterling), well it must be MIA with lesser paint options as the not-SUB one (no high-gloss, the "made in st. louis..." is a sticker instead of painted, etc)

  3. The Joe Osborn 5 i've had was very sweet bass. like a real Jazz but 35" and a bit sexier. my favourite was a Squier Precision Special V (jazz pups) with upgraded guts (CTS/Orange drop) and Sadowskys Noise Canceling Singles!!
    Both with some Heavy Respectable Bs!!

  4. hy there fellows BChaters. i've been lurking this site for quite some time but didn't post much. hope to get more involved in the future (i'm much more active on spanish's forums and on Talkbass)

  5. The main problem of the hydrive line is that they are kind of "reserved" on power and have no speaker out for another baffle. Pretty heavy, but a very good sound! Kind of bleah tweeter but good eq section. I sold my Hy 112c for around 200£.

  6. Well fellas, i'm not so new around here but i only did 1 transaction via this forum and i forgot to open a thread. I bought a bass from Stealth and it all went smooth. Hope he gets his Feedback here.

  7. I used and owned some Ashdown Mag series stuff and also Owned Trace. For me, the Trace pre-Gibson stuff is astonishing. Sounds great and weights a Ton lol.

    I owned the AH350SMX and boy was that Loud! Much much louder through a 4Ohm Cab than my Markbass F1 (same cab).
    You can say it's very Punchy,, Growly and Warm, but without beeing ampeg wooly-warm (now that's a weird description :D )
    Trace stuff NEVER loose their Grit as that is the TE signature (it was...) and it really cuts through in a band setting. The SMX dual compressor is really great (one of the best integrated compressors).

    Ashdown seems to "warm-not-to-much-deffinition" to me. I used a Mag 300 through a 15" Ash and separetly through a 410 and both lack of clean tone. Boomy is the right word. I don't know about the ABM stuff but maybe it's simillar with better construction.

    I owned an actual TE 1518 cab too (500W/8Ohm) and it was the punchiest setting i have ever used or heard (with the TE head) and it was very very loud.very very growly and deep and cleAr lows. No tweeter so no harshness in that.

    Hope this helps.

  8. Hy there everyone!long time no posting here.

    well, i am looking to trade my Markbass F1 bass Head mainly for an Eden head.

    i really love this head! is extremely loud and clean and ARTICULATE! (Can you spell that? :D )
    it is very punchy and very SS sounding. ton of tones but , i need a head with Phones output and i guess an Eden is what i want.

    this head is almost in mint condition (very few scratches on the lower side -the belly- from rack-mounting from the previous owner, who was also the original owner).

    i bought it from the States because at that time, couldn´t find any in EU. it cost me a liever to pay all the custom fees (silly me).

    you all know it is very easy to make a voltage conversion (it's all done through jumpers inside the head), change the DI output (pre/post) and the Effects Loop (series/parallel). It's now set 220V, post-eq DI and the effects loop, don't remeber.

    no concerts on it (none from me and i believe none from the first owner's part also) as i only use it as a Pre-amp for our PA because we all use IEM.

    i am located in Spain, And now: SHIPPING INCLUDED IN THAT PRICE!!!

    please let me know what you have.

    SOLD

  9. [quote name='algmusic' post='1106499' date='Jan 28 2011, 06:41 PM']how do you drive it at 6ohms if you have a 4 or 8ohm amp?[/quote]
    Sorry to say this, but it is quite funny!

    U don't have a 4Ohm or an 8Ohm amp,lol, u have 4Ohm minimum load and 8Ohm max load. 6Ohm is between those values, so it will work just fine.

    Sorry again, i just wanted to say that .
