I love stuff like this, I wonder who he's talking about

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1368728161' post='2080847'] Best amp I;ve ever owned and I've owned Ampeg all valve beasts, the DI is a little hot but you can get an attenuator for a few quid, I'm not a fan of the little isobaric cab though, I much prefer the TC RS210t [/quote] Is the TC RS210 the only cab you use with it? If so, is it very loud? I'm looking for a lightweight and loud 2x10 myself

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1368704258' post='2080340'] Well it is, but that`s not necessarily in a bad way. It has it`s own identity, and sounds great with a Precision. One of the best sound-clips I`ve heard that shows this is Low End Bees band, The Jetsonics, and their song New Romance. Fairly sure he was still using the OTB when it was recorded, and it sounds great. I used to use my MB with everything at midday on the Classic Channel, and I could get the same sound fairly easily, with bass & treble on full, mids on zero on the OTB. However if I wanted a more modern sound, or a slap-sound (unlikely but possible), at that point the OTB would be found lacking. For full-on straightforward valvey goodness, the OTB is a great amp, in an easy to cart about package. [/quote] I can't decide now, it's a lot of money to spend just to see if I like it. Maybe an MB450H head and smaller cabinet is the way to go?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1368654637' post='2079976'] Yes I`ve had both. The MB was far more versatile, due to the two channels, compressor, boostable gain, and twin-channel blend. Plenty of volume, an all-round under-rated amp in my view - something Marshalls bass amps just seem to get stuck with. The OTB is great at what it does, but the eq isn`t the most versatile - pretty limited I found. No matter what the settings, it still sounds like an OTB, which of course, if you like that, it`s great. I used a Sansamp with mine to get a bit more flexibility, and it really livened the amp up. [/quote] The MB is an excellent amp, it's just too big and heavy especially with the extension cabinet. Sounds like the OTB is a bit of a one trick pony then?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1368627101' post='2079413'] For me I`d be concentrating more on the amp than the benefits and technicalities of the cab. The OTB is a great amp at what it does, but is rather limited, not the most versatile amp on the market at all. I`d look at trying one out in a music shop through at least 2 or 3 different brands cabs, to see if you like the amp. [/quote] You had a Marshall MB didn't you? How does it compare with the OTB to you?

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1368585652' post='2078889'] Isobaric cabs are massive fail, good to ignore them. One good 15 could well cover all the territory your paired cabs did before. [/quote] I have a lot to learn it seems, I was under the impression that 15s were only good for lows?

I'd read that the Terror's mids were cut only, my EQ pedal should help with that though. I'm going for a single light 4x10 to keep lifting to a minimum, my back was starting to hurt loading a 2x10 combo and 1x15 cabinet in and out of the car. I'm glad it broke in a way I was interested in the isobaric Orange cabs, but the price scared me off

I need to buy a new amp and cab since my Marshall lost the will to live the other day, and I've decided on an Orange Bass Terror 500 http://www.gak.co.uk/en/gallien-krueger-410mbe-800-watt-4x10-bass-speaker-cabinet-(4-ohm/66801 And this GK cab: http://www.gak.co.uk/en/gallien-krueger-410mbe-800-watt-4x10-bass-speaker-cabinet-(4-ohm/66801 Quite a lightweight combination which will be a nice change from lugging my big heavy Marshall about. I don't know anything about amps and cabs, watts and ohms etc. and reading into it just confused me even more so I thought I'd see if you lot could help me out. Basically what I'm asking is is it safe to use these together, and will I be getting the most out of the head putting it through that cab? Cheers

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1368392730' post='2076600'] I would nominate my squire vintage modified precision, a white / black/ rosewood one made in Indonesia I paid £80 on eBay as a parts/not working item. It took about 30 mins to fix the issue and clean it up. It was absolutely f£&)ing superb [/quote] Exactly the same one I have, I had no idea how good it was until I played a few other basses

It's still there, and someone just bought the nice Fireglo Rickenbacker they had in there too. Now I can't go in anymore and annoy the staff by asking for a go, Inconsiderate b*****d. Maybe it was the bloke who was playing on it with me a few weeks ago? If it was and you're reading this, I'll give you fifty quid and a half eaten packet of Quavers for it

I use my middle finger to hit the note you're barring, if it works for you then why wouldn't it be acceptable?

Not quite in the same league as yours, but my Squier Vintage Modified precision (£270) is as good as the Fender (£480) I bought as an upgrade. Maybe I got a dud?

Edit: Double post sorry

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1366572997' post='2054338'] I have GHS Pressurewounds on my P bass, and they are a great mix of flat and round. [/quote] I have them on my PJ, they're really good strings

That's cool, it reminded me of "Don't Stop" by the Stone Roses

[quote name='barkin' timestamp='1367437870' post='2065733'] I'm rehearsing regularly ATM (2 new members, and some new material) and thoroughly enjoying it. Am I just in a band, or am I actually in a band? [/quote] You're in a band

Stranger danger

Ah, I see he has one of those "electric amps." They can get quite noisy compared to a steam powered one.

Well, this is to me

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1367065895' post='2060838'] Satan? Nah, you need to read your bible again. I created everything. The good stuff is your reward, the bad stuff is a test of your faith. See, i'm a good person [/quote] Thanks for chocolate fingers and KFC, you did a good job there

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366913425' post='2059032'] Should've gone to Generic high street opticians. [/quote] I did, and they sorted me out with some overpriced glasses and "monthly" contact lenses that become dust magnets after three days

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366912571' post='2059023'] Ha! I kind of guessed where you lived by the part that says "North Wales" under your avatar [/quote] I didn't even notice that

[quote name='Mikey R' timestamp='1366911548' post='2059006'] Bits of England arent on the mainland... [/quote] I know

[quote name='Fat Rich' timestamp='1366905590' post='2058883'] I have the same problem with flats / groundwounds, they're just too smooth. You could try Rotosound Solo Bass, they're pressure wound which means they're much smoother than roundwound but not completely smooth which make slides a bit more comfortable. Trouble is they lose their brightness pretty quickly in my experience. [/quote] My GHS pressurewounds don't stay bright very long either, usually only for a week or so. What are the Rotosounds like?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1366908987' post='2058955'] Yes, but i've never told a welsh person before that it's called Fadge. And you're also on the mainland [/quote] I live on the Isle of Man Okay no I don't.
