[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1488071424' post='3245657'] I now have 4 Precisions and am still finding myself scanning Ebay/Gumtree etc for others. [/quote] 5 for me and doing exactly the same

Love it. Very similar to our set, Guns and Nite Klub are cracking bass lines.

[quote name='gillento' timestamp='1488202117' post='3246696'] No worries! I just put a bit of adhesive felt underneath. [/quote] Ah, good idea. Cheers.

I picked one up last year, bought it off of Horace Panter, (so it means a lot to me), its now my main 'Ska Machine'. Cracking bass, big sound. Looking into getting one of those Hipshot bridges, but how do they fit with the slight curve of the body?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1487244722' post='3238295'] I`ve got the ABM600 with ABM210/410 cabs, and the RM500 with RM210/115 cabs. Impressions are that the ABM is a bigger sound, and has more presence in the lows when all set flat, but other than that I find them very similar, though have to admit I get my eq from my Sansamp. The only adjustment I make on the amps is on the ABM I back off on the lows to about 10 o`clock, whereas on the RM I leave all at noon. So to answer Peetys question - sortof - not that much difference between the two, though I`m guessing at higher volumes the ABM will fare better. [/quote] Am guessing you are preferring the Ashdown cabs more than the Barefaced cabs you had Lozz?

[quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1486494553' post='3232296'] Practice is off but just had a quick go on the EVO IV... first impression is it's tight and punchy. Going from memory it has a different feel to the sound compared to the EVO III and that's with dead strings and fingers. Roll on next practice that's when I really know what's what.

Black/Maple is just perfect for me But whoever designed that website needs a slap in the face with a shovel.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1485724925' post='3226218'] Sweet. I've got kiwi's Hexavalve here but haven't really tried it yet [/quote] I think you are going to like it.

These seem to do custom cases, might be a bit spendy though http://www.swanflight.com Also have a chat with Obbm on here, am sure he had a custom case made up for a small amp head he had.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1484572273' post='3216379'] The closest analogy I can think of for the F112 is that they're like studio monitors. [/quote] Totally agree with that.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1484489476' post='3215819'] Yep although it doesn't do the cabs justice in real life. I was at the bassbash shoot out mentioned above and it was the first time I'd heard a fEARless cab played with any amount of decent volume or from a distance. I was shocked not only at how much [i]better[/i] the fEARless was against the Berg and Barefaced, but also at how that was completely overlooked by so many others in the final round of voting after it had attracted so many votes initially. They're everything I've ever wanted in a bass cab. Cleaner highs than the Barefaced and more articulate lows than the Berg. [/quote] Ive got an F115, and the jury is still out with me. I keep going back to the Barefaced cabs.

Look a bit tacky to me.

I currently own: Amps: Gallien Krueger 2001RB Orange Bass Terror 1000 TC Electronics Blacksmith Trace Elliot Hexa Valve Cabs: Barefaced Dubster Barefaced Super Compacts x2 Greenboy Fearless F115 Combos: Ampeg B100r Rocket Ashdown Tourbus

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1480633810' post='3186075'] Swindon has a fairly busy live music scene, especially for a town that some would consider a cultural wasteland. [/quote] [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1480634794' post='3186084'] True, I play with three Swindon bands and there are plenty of places to gig in and around the town. [/quote] Agree with this, plenty to choose from.

Is this what you are looking for? http://www.britishaudioservice.com/trace-manuals

Thanks Bigsmokebass and Highfox, I've now got GAS for one of these [url="http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bass-centre-rhythm-stick.html"]http://www.basscentr...ythm-stick.html[/url]

Thats a lovely looking bass. Congrats.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1475522482' post='3146653'] If you're staying on British soil I think it'd be hard to beat the Shuker JJB. I'm yet to hear anything but rave reviews of them.[/quote] This ^^^^^^

My favourite colour combination

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1475161129' post='3143602'] They can get you pretty much there, it`s just that in comparison to my Super12 the gain is much smoother. I was hoping if I boosted the highs it would be harsher but that`s not the case. For reference, have a listen to the start of this track below, that`s what I got with the S12s and can`t quite get with the Retros, all other gear being the same (Precision, Roto Steel Rounds, Aguilar Tonehammer, Sansamp): [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJMBJAK91M8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=hJMBJAK91M8[/url] BTW, I should point out that I`m in no way criticising these cabs, not all gear works for every application, if I didn`t need such a harsh sound this range would be perfect, and the info on the cabs does say that they are warmer and smoother than the other BF range. I was just hoping I could have a "stack" and still get spiky aggression. [/quote] Thanks Lozz, I guess the only way i am going to know, is to try some out.
