Even going back to the Highway One Series, before the Am. Spl. Series came out, the truss adjustment was at the heel.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1399240164' post='2442414'] Beautiful! [/quote] Thank you, it plays great. Nice, and quick, and great highs, and lows.

[b]"Mountain Lass"[/b] got the nod. The first song I played on her was, [b]Never In My Life, by Mountain. [/b] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NHTVUBw.jpg[/IMG]

[color=#1C2837][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]Alright! It showed up today. I didn't get a chance to do much more than restring her, and do a good look-over. The frets a bit rough on the edges of the fretboard, but not the roughest of Gibson's I've had. Now to name her. Hmmmmmm,……...[/size][/font][/color]

Very nice! [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ioKd4hk.gif[/IMG]

I play Fender Am. Std.'s, and think they're fine. Overpriced, not really. A case comes with them, good pups, good playable necks, and fretboards that are finished right..

I don't know how they actually do it, but the amps don't melt down, or do any thing but put out power with their combinations. In the support sections for the heads, they have more electronic graphs, and specs that are over my head. Check it out.

Nice looking Jazz. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ioKd4hk.gif[/IMG]

[quote name='mike 110' timestamp='1398749004' post='2437130'] I had a White SG that I sold a couple of years ago , a beauty it was too . there are some decent pics of it in the thread …..

I'm kinda' partial to white basses myself. Your's looked so pristine too.

I really agree with both of you guys about the heavy Nitro finish, compared to the Faded finish, (satin), and sound differences. [color=#1C2837][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3]I checked the Sweetwater Sound Guitar Gallery, one SG Spl. Chocolate Satin left in stock.

[b]Where are you? [/b][/color][/size][/font]

What language was your email in?

It beats the hell out of me guys. The three RS410 600 watt cabs has me at a loss. But if they claim it will, it will.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1398697510' post='2436666'] Okey. How does that work? Given that all other cabs do not dictate how many watts an amp is other than by the impedance of the cabs. [/quote] I really don't know. It's in the TC Electronic design for their heads only.

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1398697318' post='2436661'] The BH500 can run two BC410. If thats the case, the BH500 is a 1000watt head? [/quote] Yes sir, you're correct. it's a 1,000 max. or peak watts head. Two BC410 4 ohm cabs will FLY……………..

I know it sounds crazy, but that's how they designed it. The impedance rules go for non TC Electronic cabs run through a TC Electronic head. The TC Electronic cabs work that way with their own heads.

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1398675214' post='2436323'] I don't really believe their is magic on TC heads. The head is advertise as 4ohm minimum load and the BC 2x10, 2x12 is ohm and the 4x10 is 4ohm. In theory you can only run two BC2x10 or 2x12 and one 4x10, but TC head can run three BC2x10 or BC2x12 and two BC 4x10. Which bring the minimum load less then 4ohm. [/quote] The TC E heads run on the wattage of the cabs. Hang on it will sound crazy at first. Example, the RH450 head has a max. wattage of 800 watts. The BC410 cab is 500 watts max. The BC212 cab, and or BC210 cab has a max. wattage of 250watts. Add the 500 watts of the BC410 to the 250 watts of the BC212, or BC210, and you have 750 watts, 50 watts less than the 800 watts the head is capable of @ total output. OR, Take three BC212, or BC210, or a mix of three of these, multiply the 250 X 3 equals 750 watts. Still 50 watts less than the total of 800 watts allowed. This does mean however, two BC410 cabs shouldn't run from an RH450. The two BC410 cabs will equal 1,000 watts, 200 watts over the Max. 800 watts of the RH450 head. This is shown in the specs of the RH450, [b]Power module rating. [/b]It's also in the TC Electronic support, on it's site that explains all of their design for cab combinations. The cab combinations are meant for [b]ONLY TC Electronic applicable heads.[/b]

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1398622387' post='2435885'] I used be a diehard fan of the good old Precision, and I've had a few of them (mostly budget models - Squier, Ryder - but one amazing USA Fender). But I've realised, I actually prefer (for most applications anyway) the sound and feel of the jazz bass. Especially with the bridge pickup soloed and the tone halfway up. Has anyone else gone from loving the Precision to preferring the Jazz? Trouble is, now I'm playing only 30" (ish) scale basses, and a nice passive Fender style jazz in that scale is hard to come by and not that cheap! Especially as I'm fussy, I want white/tort/rosewood! Where can I get such a thing? [/quote] OH YEAH! I like my Precision, but I think thats just because I want to have one to switch off to on occasion. But if I went back to playing, and owning one Bass as in the past, the Jazz Bass would be the only option for me. I do like both Fretless, and Fretted Jazzes though. I seem to get a richer, deeper tone, and a bit more power from the twin pups from the Jazz Basses. At least through my choices of amp setups. I do like playing a short scale Gibson SG Bass sometimes too. 30.5" Scale has a great bottom to it. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/xvdW4xb.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='Mokl' timestamp='1398619050' post='2435807'] If that sounds as good as it looks, it'll be fantastic! [/quote] It should be pretty good in sounds. I almost think the heavier Nitro Heritage finish dulls the more clear sound. The faded SG Basses I've played, had great sound ranges of highs, and [b]LOWS[/b]. For about half the price too, with the same pups, and case too.

[quote name='goingdownslow' timestamp='1398677003' post='2436350'] I have tried an SG Bass a few times and can not get on with the long heel at the neck joint. Why Gibson changed from their original neck pocket design I don't know. Epiphone still use it. [/quote] I'm like you, I have no clue either. That may be one of the primary causes of the [size=4][b]Neck Dive Of Death[/b][/size] on SG Basses though.

[quote name='Adee' timestamp='1398632250' post='2436077'] Nice ! plus you get the sexy brown / pink Cali-girl case too BONUS !!! [/quote] Yeah I know, why they couldn't have just used the white interior. I think Gibson was trying to copy the Red Poodle inside color of the Fender G&G Tweed Case.

[quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1398605632' post='2435646'] I have the BH500 going into the BC 410 and I also have the BC212, TBH I only use both cabs at one huge venue, and even then I could probably get away with just the 410, but boy does it sound great with both! [/quote] I was going to add the BC212, but I decided the BC410 will work out fine for me.

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1398600069' post='2435596'] Nice. Mine used to be that colour a few decades ago..DR strings? [/quote] These aren't DR strings, They're D'Addario ETB92 Nylon Tapewounds.

I string D'Addario ETB92 Nylon Tapewounds through the body with no problems. There is a brand or two that discourage their brand of flats stringing through the body. When I was using Fender, and then D'Addario flats, they were fine.

[quote name='hatori' timestamp='1398614965' post='2435740'] I have a 68 EB3 that i absolutely adore and am about to pull the trigger on an SG as a backup. I owned an EB3L back in the 70's. [/quote] The EB3L would be the Crown Jewel to be reintroduced. That was one of the finest Gibson Basses, along with the EB1 Violin Bass. I do like the SG Basses of today though.
