    Ampeg SVT412he My all time favourite cab , if you're after a big rich powerful good old fashioned bass tone then it doesn't get better than this. I bought it new about 7ish years ago , it's pretty battered the vinyl's a bit tattered and torn and it's missing 2 of the rubber feet but it still sounds like it did when it was new. It'd love to keep it and I think it sounds much better than my 1200 odd quids worth of berg cabs but I live in a second floor flat and the wife's pregnant so I'm having to have a big clear out. 4ohm speakon and jack connectors adjustable horn here's the spec [url="http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/svt412he.pdf"]http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/svt412he.pdf[/url] [attachment=140821:20130805_163358.jpg] [attachment=140822:20130805_163152.jpg] [attachment=140823:20130805_163133.jpg] collection only from Stoke Newington North London

    Wow I really like these strings, I've got a "lott" bryant I bought new and I had a gut G and velvet garbas on it. The golden slaps are lower tension and warmer than the velvets and but also sound more resonant on my bass . The sound I'm going for is more jazz pizz gut ( paul chambers, israel crosby ) and the slaps are way more like this than I expected , I thought they'd be more rockabilly slap. I agree with what other people have said about the pop to the front of the note too. Basses are fussys buggers , my old german likes it tight and sounds great with spiros and sounds floppy and dead with gut or pretend gut (velvet , innovataion etc ) but these are the ones for my bryant ( for now anyway !! ) Daf do you sell them? where's the best place to buy them?

    I think Flloyd Edgar has one.Cairo bill had one that I think he sold don't know if that was to another bc'er I've got a "lott" bryant I bought new off paul. I'm finally really happy with mine,it did take quite a bit of work , I had the finger boarded chuted , new bridge, tried loads of different strings etc, I'd definately recommend a Bryant bass, a few well respected bass makers have said to me they're a bit crude but I don't know how he does it for the money and I'd agree with that.

    Hi I've recently got a new bass and I'm trying to figure out which strings it likes and I wanna try a gut A. I'm currently using a gamut gut G and garbo D and A and E, for trades I've got brand new helicore A,D and G,a gamut pistoy D light gauge which is the string a lot of people on talkbass like but didn't suit my bass and is 2 gigs old.

    just listened to the feraud and gwizdala clips and i think that's a bit harsh on the latter to lump them in together, for me feraud is just finger wiggling nonsense but I thought gwizdala has a sense of harmonic development and space and has tons of modern jazz vocab. Isn't all bass shred music a bit bollox though? great shout for thunes and fowler

    I use the dpa with a qsc k10 powered speaker on a stand, having it up on a stand is the key to getting enough level before it feeds back, I sometimes put the mic thru an amp and it sounds good but does feedback if you try and crank it

    I use a DPA 4099b on probably 80% of my gigs , I still have a pick up which I use for loud gigs or if I have to stand really close to the drums and sometimes engineers insist on taking a Di often because they think it should sound like a bass guitar,

    I don't really have any criteria for what I think is "good" . Some of my goodest players have got it all ,time tone technique harmony, players like Ray Brown, Jamerson you know the type . I also think Dee Dee Ramone and his shall we say rugged technique is good, sometimes that school band punk rock n roll thing does it for me. but I also like modern nashville players whose note placement and length is exquisite even though their lines through the changes are generic and cliched. Some of the modern gospel players are right show offs but I think they're good too. is there a bit of a chops vs subtlety thing going on here. It's all good
