  1. lol Dave, thought you might. I shall be mostly going to bed now, and will check in on my Iphone shortly.....
  2. BTW Dave, there is a F500 come up fs.
  3. oooo...good debate :-) This whole issue is starting to do my head in, I might just not bother lol. In my exploits in guitar and drums, I have never had such anguish (lol it's not that bad) over gear as I have as a bassist. Drums - I know what I like, buy it, use it, full stop. Guitar, I know what I like, buy it, use it. BASS - f**k knows. History - Buy Hartke, sell Hartke, buy Ashdown, Sell Ashdown, buy Markbass, sell Markbass, Buy Markbass and Tecamp, sell Markbas and Tecamp, buy Ashdown...... and here we are today. Same with basses. sh*t. Help meeeeeeeeeeee!!!
  4. is this still for sale?
  5. Thanks Alex....I will email you in a sec. And thanks all for your thoughts too. Chris
  6. no love for the Genz cab then?
  7. Ok, So, which would you go for... Shuttle6.0 12t combo OR Shuttle 6 head and BF Compact? These are not my only options, and I need to do some listening, but there will be experienced users on here who can shed some light too I hope? Thanks Chris
  8. COOL. So why are these so cheap? Built to a price? Reliable? I think I might have to get one....or a Streamliner......
  9. What's the story on this after the weekend Dave. I am in "serious pondering" mode. This plus BF Compact??? Could be nice.
  10. Superb reports then. Sorely tempted to go for it.
  11. how loud is this as a single cab - say, with a shuttle 6 or streamliner? Is it on hold for long? Cheers C
  12. ok just bumping this - and edited the first post... Looks like I will probably be moving full time to bass in the near future, and feel myself drawn to explore alternatives....
  13. pm sent. Is it 8 ohms?
  14. I'm pondering a super12 t. Anyone know how this compares? Especially in terms of the power needed to drive it in relationto my abm500 (350 ish into 8 ohms)
  15. I can, yes, but I am not sure that my groove remains as tight or consistent. I can however drum and sing at the same time with no issues at all. Go figure. I cannot actually sing that well though, but that is another story
  16. My MIM is nice in my opinion. I tried a USA in a shop last week, and it felt a bit nicer, but I cannot afford one. I had a USA Jazz previously, that was "OK". I would never spend over, say, £300 (used) on a bass without playing it first though. For my current needs (not to mention funds) the MIM is jsut dandy
  17. Jealous. I want to be doing something like that. I do Price Tag in my duo - does that count? Seriously, great show Phil
  18. [quote name='Paul S' post='1285540' date='Jun 28 2011, 06:59 PM']I just moved from a big 'ol Trace Elliot rig to a TC Electronics Classic 450 through a Barefaced Compact and couldn't be happier. 16kg (vs 62kg) for a rig with more clarity and power.[/quote] To be fair, when I change it will be to a similar set up. But I cannot afford it yet. Alex has pretty much sold me on a Super12t
  19. Bass direct shows a mrrp of £960!!! It had better be good...
  20. 800w into a single 12?!?!? I like the tte head
  21. Paperback version? Not sure I follow... How did you settle on this speaker? I only ask as I seem to think that it's all to do with what speaker matches what box size, ports etc? Sorry to seem picky, I am interested but want to be sure...
  22. What is the spec on the cab? Ohms and handling please?
  23. [quote name='kedo' post='1284134' date='Jun 27 2011, 02:23 PM']Thanks nottswarwick. I'm really looking forward to giving these settings a try. Jack[/quote] It's a pleasure. I've never really been one for messing around too much with EQ (or effects for that matter), I just set it all flat and tweak to taste. In my opinion it should only be changed from "flat" if it is necessary, not tweaked "just because you can" Note - the pre shape is a kind of mid scooped sound, which can sound "indistinct" if it is no the sound you are after. My P basses sound quite woody and full, so this is not really an issue with me, but disengaging the preshape makes for a more mid-strong sound. I don't like it though. I have only just returned to Ashdown after a long time with Markbass rigs, and to be honest personally I don't find it muddy at all. What basses do you use? If you are near Nottingham you are welcome to spin over and try mine. Chris
