Great work. Thanks a lot!

Welcome, Mikey! bert

Welcome, Romeo! bert

Hey Rob, From your post it sounds as if you could well live with the VM Precision, so why concentrate on the slight betterness of the others you tried if a Fender type thing is what you're after? After all we're human.

The mentioned thread is here, btw: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227922-new-solid-state-orange/

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1391536944' post='2358315'] you two are driving me crazy! [/quote] Ah! If that is indeed the outcome, then our actions have been perfectly ethical, teleologically speaking. Keep us updated, eh? I hope to read about your StingRay shoved through Shuttle and Compact, as I'll be using a similar setup.

Welcome, Rich! bert

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1391521986' post='2358050'] Agreed. If that's not what I said, it's when I meant to say ;-) [/quote] LOL. Yeah, I seem to have overlooked that bit. Sorry. Will read better from now on. But would you agree that the Streamliner is not quite as intuitive as one might first think, and takes a bit of playing around with?

What are you waiting for then, man? Get both before it's too late! Oh, and congrats with the Shuttle. Like Roland Rock, I too find the Shuttle (ShuttleMax / GBE) knobbage very easy to work with. What I think has not been mentioned in this thread is that some, me included, find the Streamliner knobbage more demanding, meaning I feel one needs more time with it before being able to dial in the sound one hears in one's head. It remains a very worthy addition to a Shuttle, and even to a GBE or ShuttleMax, AFAICS.

That's nothing, Matt. You have been posting on here on and off for about a year but I never actually welcomed you! Now [b]that's[/b] bad. Welcome then, sort of. bert

[quote name='merello' timestamp='1390751234' post='2348965'] Bet you came home and couldn't plug in because you forgot to buy a cable? [/quote] [quote name='Excalibr' timestamp='1391122929' post='2353665'] Surprisingly I did actually remember to buy the cable [/quote] Spoilsport! Congrats! Fretlesses is inspiring things, eh. Good luck and much joy with it!

Personally, I'll hold my money for the time being, and wait for the 420G. (Get it? Ashdown? Car theme? Jaguar 420 and 420G?)

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1391287291' post='2355486'] You've [b][i]known[/i][/b] him many times? Are you a Buddhist? [/quote] ... but you are aware that one doesn't have to be a buddhist to [b][i]know[/i][/b] someone many times, yes? I seem to remember some medieval litterature (yes, with double "t" - I'm stubborn) where some males "knew" some females quite vigourously. Of course, I don't condone it.

Welcome, Craig! Your instruments look intriquing! That said, your best bet is to be clear about what you want to be here, and to use the Affiliates forum in the Market Place section if you want to sell something. Enjoy BC! bert

Hi Linear, Welcome! Do as we did in my experimental band Quasar Librax: try to play four totally different pieces at the same time. If you are as lucky as we were, and just as incompetent, you'll see that quite often this wil turn out like one coherent song played in perfect timing. Dunno why. Something with gods maybe. This place is really instructive. Just last week I learned how to hold a bass guitar. Anyway, enjoy! bert

Mind ya, I have no experience to talk about, but FWiW: Ashdown Little Bastard 30 + two LB 112 cabs for velvety but still well defined old skool sound Genz Benz GBE 750, for the time being with those same Ashdown cabs for large, detailed, transient-willing, airy (headroomy) sound - plus for added overdrive noise if I want to. That said, I expect a lot from the GBE with the Vanderkleys and Barefaceds I'm getting later.

Thanko mucho! But there's a lot of us out here. Just dive in and experience it. (Just to be sure: you know why I'm both gay and a fanny tickler? It's because I'm terrible at playing with a plectrum, and another finger player on BC mentioned how he had been called both "gay" and "fanny tickler" for that by some non-appreciative listeners. ) best, bert [i][size=3]Standard Disclaimer: it's not that I'm not terrible without a plectrum [/size][/i] [i][size=3](but then again who in his right mind can even think about playing a bass when there's fannies around).[/size][/i]

Welcome, Loula! bert

Welcome, Dreamcaster! bert

For how long? I've been staring and staring, at least expecting a forest to appear in the background but hoping for more, to no avail. All is see is "this space"

Welcome, Danny! Yup, wise decision. Reading here will indeed give you a head start. Enjoy! bert

Welcome, Stu! bert

Welcome! bert

Thanks, BB. I guess that answers it then, dunnit? I've ordered a set, and will report back, but I guess BB has already closed the thread really.
