This is leaving the building today...

Played this one (or its twin) in the gallery a few years back. Entirely unimpressed. The Emperor 5 was a different matter... I was about to sell Granny for that one...

A stonking night last night in our 'nemesis' venue (2 separate stages - drummer on 1, everyone else on the other!). Floor full from first not until last. Usually the place is empty, but this was our first Saturday night there and it was standing room only. And the ladies... oh the ladies... there were a few 'bum' notes, if you know what i mean :brow:

Roads were awful and I wasn't crawling into my pit until nearly 4 (finished at 1), but well worth it and we've been booked for 2 nights a month in the place next year after last night.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='340324' date='Nov 29 2008, 10:15 AM']I played a new Lakland JO 4-stringer the other week. Lovely bass with through body stringing, etc., but it had very narrow string spacing. Definitely not 19mm. Is this normal on Lakland jazz models?[/quote]

Very strange. Mine is somewhere between 19-20mm...

[quote name='jerseytrev' post='337836' date='Nov 26 2008, 10:49 PM']hi do you rate the jo against the dj as i am going to try both[/quote]

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I've never played a DJ. The DJ is a slightly different vibe (70's jazz rather than 60's). I've never played a Laklnad I didn't like (some more than others though - the hollow just wasn't my thing, but i'd like to have one in the house 'cos they look so cool!). I'm thinking about moving on my Bongo5 and replacing it with a Lakland 5 string.

[quote name='raze' post='340321' date='Nov 29 2008, 10:12 AM']What sort of thing are you looking for changing it for ?[/quote]

Preferably cash!

It is awesome, and very lightweight for its size (only weighs 2 pounds more than my 1x10 ashdown combo!), it's just much more poke than I'm ever likely to need - but the GAS had hold of me at the time and wouldn't let go!

I'm not in dire need to replace it with anything as my Ashdown combo is enough for any of my current gigs (supplemented by an Aguilar 1x12 if the PA gives up!).

Hi guys,

I'm considering selling my Tech Soundsystems 4x12 cab. I'd be looking in the region of £500 plus postage for the cab. Details of the monster can be found here:

[url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html[/url]

under 12" section.

The cab is 8 ohms, but is very sensitive so volume and 'not using full power of my amp' has never been a worry.

I can get pics for anyone who's interested, but it's basically as new (never gigged - only used at rehersal a few times so hardly broken in).

Just too big for my current requirements.

Cheers

Ian

Bump for price drop - Now £175 inc postage!

tecamp Puma 500 (6lbs)+ XS112 for small gigs (22lbs) / + S212 (41lbs) for bigger ones

The new look of the tec amp stuff is starting to grow on me. I have the older Tech Soundsystems 4x12 and it's an awesome cab!

[quote name='lefrash' post='338854' date='Nov 27 2008, 07:36 PM']The bass is my ideal bass, and I doubt i'l be changing/upgrading any time soon.[/quote]

Yeah, you say that now... just you wait... everybody here's heard that one before!

Welcome, btw!

www.ax84.com

www.18watt.com

The theory's the same for guitar and bass so both these sites will suit you - ax84 has a bass project I believe.

No matter what bass I receive into the collection, my Skyline JO4 is the benchmark it's measured against. Fantastic bass.

If anyone's interested in this please bare withy me - I'm away from my PC from now until Monday

Cheers

Hi Chris,

Would you be willing to ship this? If so can you tell me how much that'd be likely to cost? You should have my address somewhere but I'll PM it to you anyway.

Cheers

Ian

Hi there,

I'm in Northern Ireland I'm afraid - off the beaten track you could say! PM me if you're interested.

Cheers

Ian

The overused word in relation to these amps was the 1st one that jumped into my mind when using the amp for the 1st time.

Warm.

Initial impressions are that there's plenty of volume available, the 'Brite' button certainly works as does the passive tone controls (very different to cut and boost active tone controls)

Perceived quality is good (controls and finish). It does get a bit 'hissy' at 5 on the treble tone and volume at or above 7.

For £189 so long as it keeps going it's incredible.

I've got a better quality valve that'll fit and wonder if it's worth a try?[/quote]


Looking forward to hearing how this amp gets on with your Aggie cab. Was thinking about getting one for my GS112 too!

Sorry if that sounded a bit sharp - didn't read it over before hitting 'Add Reply'!

Neither are too powerful for the db112. They are rated at 500 watts into 4 ohms, so they'll probably deliver somewhere between 250 and 325 watts into your 8 ohm cab.... which you won't if you're playing in your living room! And there's a volume control as has already been pointed out.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='331202' date='Nov 18 2008, 01:45 AM']Forgot to mention that Jon said he plans to let the bass grace the home page of the shuker website for a bit too.[/quote]

Me too!

Why not go for the DB112 in black (with the nice silver grill cloth) and add an Ashdown ABM head in chrome - very pretty rig.

...and again!

My bass :blush:[/quote]

Sorry... did someone say something?

[quote name='funnyfreddie' post='330286' date='Nov 16 2008, 09:25 PM']i like the ampeg steve, whats the model?[/quote]

Usually referred to as "HOW MUCH!"

I'm more amazed by what I used to be able to play. When I was younger I played in a really technical death metal band. I listened to one of our demos for a laugh a while back and was shocked. I couldn't play the half of it any more, but then again I couldn't play the half of what I can now back then...

That's about the most useless post I've ever made I think...
