  1. Here is the photo Nick sent me. Opppss it is upside down. Don't know why.
  2. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1462296526' post='3041904'] None of the above. Tort! [/quote] This ^ Or this anodized gold
  3. [quote name='jassbass' timestamp='1461326709' post='3033699'] Nice colour [/quote] +1
  4. [quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1461935732' post='3038914'] I didn't get it, purchased a Hartke LH500 instead. This makes noise via Warwick 1x15 & 2x10. [/quote] Will you let us know how do you get on with LH500?
  5. [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1461927981' post='3038784'] I have said it before, I think those Rumble cabs add a lot to the sound.. I have DI'd my Rumble combo for recording but much prefer the sound I get when the cab is mic'ed up. [/quote] https://youtu.be/FguIccFNaqo The sound of the bass is coming from Rumble 100 directly but not properly mic'ed up. Recorded with Zoom B1. Bass is not loud enough in the mix hence the headphones are needed to hear the sound of the bass well.
  6. [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1461868093' post='3038397'] And, once you've had a fictional 'North American maple neck' you never go back... [/quote] It is "flamed" North American maple neck so I think I will pass on that only if it was just 'North American maple neck'
  7. [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1461861007' post='3038313'] Fear not, opportunity is once more yours http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980-Marlin-Slammer-Fender-Precision-electric-bass-guitar-VINTAGE-RARE-/121967020851?hash=item1c65cd0b33:g:X7wAAOSwqbZXFMKB [/quote] I won't miss it this time and it is £25 less

  9. [quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1461836830' post='3037990'] I've played through the Rumble Combo & many a MAG/ABM head (so not an exact comparison) - the Rumble is miles ahead for me; naturally good tone (of the vintagey variety) with a decent EQ, the Ashdown's have always just sounded like mush to me regardless of how many buttons/sliders are being used. I haven't used the other two so couldn't comment. [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461837357' post='3038001'] I have an Ampeg PF350 right now which I'm enjoying, but it's not as simple to use or as quick to get a usable sound from as the Rumble 500. I really rate the Ashdown ABM500 and would use one all day long (great EQ) but it's too heavy for my liking. All in my humble opinion, of course. YMMV, etc etc. If Fender did a Rumble preamp pedal I'd be on it like a Weightwatcher on a Greggs Steak Bake. [/quote] Tanks for the inputs [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1461838469' post='3038012'] Same here. Given how many bassists use provided rigs nowadays to make changeovers quicker it surprises me how many manufacturers don`t have a preamp/DI pedal that sounds like their amps. Think both Fender and Ashdown are missing out on this big-time. [/quote] Seems that Ashdown has DI pedal http://ashdownmusic.com/products/6/Pedals/9/Ashdown-Pedals/69/12-Band-Graphic-DI-/
  10. [color=#333333]"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing."[/color] Missed
  11. Anybody had chance to compare Rumble to Ashdown MAG, Hartke LH or Ampeg PF tone/soundwise?
  12. I am down from 5 to 2 but you never know when GAS will hit you
  13. Very good purchase. I have 100 w combo rumble for rehearsals and they sound great.
  14. I am glad you liked it Tim. Thanks for the kind words. Drums are missing in both covers but it is almost impossible to record drums with Zoom H1. Even though I am not a big fan of cajon (and our drummer hates it) it is still better than no drums at all. We played treasure at a gig last week with full band (drums, bass, guitars, keys, saxophones, trumpet) and it was much better. The crowd loved it. [quote name='timhiggins' timestamp='1461652296' post='3036382'] here is a sample of our stuff..https://soundcloud.com/thesgsuk/rise-up-sampler https://soundcloud.com/thesgsuk/rise-up-sampler [/quote] Sounds very good. I like all of them but my favourite is the last one. Great snare and reggae bass sound. Fat and smooth. My dream tone
  15. Hey Guys, Here are a couple of cover songs from my band. It is a reggae band in Cyprus called The Healers. We mostly play roots reggae and some British Reggae/Pop. We are also working on our songs in the meantime. We recorded two cover songs which are not reggae originally. It is not a full band as the recordings are amateur and songs are recorded via Zoom H1. Treasure cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwhEHPcDJ50&feature=share All That She Wants cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FguIccFNaqo Willing to hear your thoughts. Cheers, GC
  16. Looks like a good price. So anybody here tried one yet? What is the sound like?
  17. [quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1460991324' post='3030434'] Anyone using a Frog bass ? [/quote] I am one happy owner of a Frog.
  18. [quote name='therealting' timestamp='1459251199' post='3014722'] The Mk I TRBs are 34" scale. I have a sixer... but it is very wide. [/quote] True. I forgot about MK 1s. It would be better choice for a small guy like me but I guess they are a bit more expensive than TRB IIs.
  19. [quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1458819314' post='3011158'] My personal recommendation with your budget is to look seriously at Yamaha. Although I love Fender 4 string basses I've never been impressesd with their 5 strings. Certainly not the ones you'd get for £500. I have a Mexican Fender Jazz 5 as a passive back up, and it's miles behind by Yamaha TRB 5 at a similar 2nd hand price. [/quote] +1 Japanese TRBs are great value for the money. I too was a bit stressed when I was switching to 5 strings but it was very easy to get used to TRB's neck. I played it at a gig with a little practice without any problem. I too have small hands but it wasn't a problem at all. Only problem I got was that it is 35'' scale and I am not a tall guy.
  20. I had compact + super compact and just sold the compact to purchase another super compact. I was thinking of getting 2X12 cabs from barefaced when I bought the SC but then I went to single 12 route just because I wanted to be able to use single 12 for smaller gigs. I am very happy with the SC and 1 is enough for most of the occasions but 2 of them will sound great.
  21. These are great combos and Soulman is a great guy to deal with. GLWTS and have a free bump on me.
  22. None for me. I wanted to get my 78 fender jazz back and managed to do it few years ago but sold it again after a year. There was a reason of selling it at the first place apparently It was too heavy to play at gigs. So there are no regrets at all at the moment.
  23. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1452074148' post='2946038'] Something of a Ritter about that... I like it [/quote] I really like the design and the look of it
  24. [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1451415487' post='2940324'] Can some who's in contact with him now find out if they're at London show again in Feb? I'd send another email, but I doubt he needs anyone else clogging up his inbox needlessly Si [/quote] You have a pm Si
