[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1344762872' post='1768771'] Freddie, I think you need a day out at a good bass shop to try some stuff out and narrow down exactly what you need. Bass Gear in Twyford is probably your nearest. I can recommend the Gallery in London and Bass Direct in Warwick from personal experience when I have been in similar gear dilemmas. Incidentally, I think Luke mentioned the Streamliner at #2 as this does have a more gritty overdrive than the Shuttle whilst still doing a warm funky tone too. I love mine and suggest you try one. Certainly easier to carry around than an Ashdown! Good luck and let us all know how get on. [/quote] Thanks for the advice, you're absolutely right in that i need to spend some time in Bass shop. I do like the streamliner sound so will have to go try one out. Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the advice guys. Might be an Ashdown ABM Evo head then! Freddie:-)

Thanks Luke, will do check it out.

Thanks LukeFRC I intended to purchase the Shuttle and am happy with the sound from it, just looking at something to give me more options and to get a more accurate sound for some of the stuff I'm playing. I tried one of the sansamp DI pedals but didnt get on with it really - perhaps I didnt give it enough time.

Hi fellow chatters, Not sure if this is a stupid thing to be asking so please forgive my lack of knowledge. I have a GB Shuttle 9.0 and am thinking or getting a pre-amp to give me more options for sounds/tones. I need something quite versatile that can produce a nice clean fat warm tone - something like an Ashdown ABM for when playing in my Foo Fighters tribute band, and also something which can give me a sound kinda like Paul Turner for when playing more funky stuff in my Funk covers outfit. Is this the best route to take? Not sure I want to purchase another amp so thinking probably cheaper to go the pre-amp route. Any recomendations or experience with pre-amps with the shuttle? Thanks in advance Freddie

Only 4 months old and used only a handful of times - mint condition, still boxed as new (purchased in December 12 from GAK). I'm Just not using it, and I need funds for something else.
