To be honest I think they are over rated. If you want a real vintage classic with extreme rarity value you need a seventies dark chocolate toffee crisp bar, the ones in the blue wrappers. Now that was something. I would swap one of my basses for one of those.

Oops! I have fixed the link so the video is working now. Sorry about that.

I bought one of these to use with a 1x15 and add some extra growl to my sound when using my Fender P. It does exactly that and sounds great! If you want a small cab with good mids and tops then this is it but if you want a fat bottom you'll need something else.

Shame you are not a bit further north as I probably already know most of your set having previously been in a Dr Feelgood tribute and I'm also doing a lot of Jason & The Scorchers with my other band. It sounds right up my street! Probably a bit far for me to travel to though (from Newcastle), unless the gigs pay well ?

This is mine .....

Yeah Presonus stuff is really good. I have a Firebox for home recording and have used a Firepod to record bands - the quality is excellent. Good choice. Using your bass direct into it will work fine. I have done this with an SR-800 and had good results. A bit of waveform editing afterwards always helps in the final mix. I would recommend the software Sound Forge for that. With the bass track just normalise it to even out the overall level (similar to using compression). You can also use Sound Forge to add reverb , eq etc to other tracks. Vocals especially benefit from a good chunk of reverb. Mic wise SM57 are good to stick in front of a cab but if you are using acoustic guitar I would recommend a PZM (pressure zone mic) which is a lot cheaper and the sound is great with a bit of eq and reverb added afterwards. SM58 is good for vocal - use a spit guard though (you can easily make one from a wire coathanger and a dishcloth).

I have used one of these and liked the sound with the tweeter switched off. I play mainly rock and blues. However , if you are a slap monster you might like a tweeter.

Mmmm sounds good but you are probably right - having the amp and the bass could make me look too much of a JJB anorak (eventhough I am )

The Mex is, to be fair, my backup bass-before I got the Shuker my main bass was an '07 US Precision (in black, of course). I was perfectly happy with it, but the opportunity to get the Shuker happened, so the P had to go. I like the look of the JJ amp, but TBH, even if I was in a position to get one, I don't think I would. My GB Shuttle suits me so well, amd I think having JJ's signature bass [i]and[/i] amp is taking things a bit too far![/quote] Sounds great , what is the neck like ? Typical P or thinner Jazz style ?

Mmmm that Shuker would go nice with my JJ Burnel head , how does it compare to your Fender?

My all black gig gear .......

[quote name='halfmanhalfdrum' post='1153008' date='Mar 7 2011, 09:03 PM']Just purchased one of these today on the strength of your review. Same model as yours - one of the first ten without the signature and UK built to boot. What an amp, absolutely awesome! The range of tones available is outstanding. My P bass and Musicman SUB have never sounded so good. I can't wait to gig it. These should fly off the shelves. Absolute bargain. Cheers for the great review.[/quote] Hey great ! Your welcome mate. Maybe we should start a Basschat owners club
