Laney 410 vertical do this.

Thanks. The one I've seen has the same headstock, but dot I lay markers and plain black covers..

Yes, correct flat looking headstock with lodestone guitar company on it.

The one I've seen though for some reason has dot inlays (not claws) and blank pick up covers (not marked emg)?

Hi all, Does anyone have any info on lodestone basses? I know they're Ashdown, but I'm after info on one that is the p bass variant that says it has emgs and claw inlays, but this one doesn't - it has dot inlays and blank pick up covers? It says these were originally UK built then moved to Czech republic, but I'm just checking there isn't a cheaper version that was released etc?

Plenty of different amps: The 210s are coloured, the sc say they're not, but if you line the range up the still all sound different with the same amp. Ashdown evo iv 600 Ashdown ctm300 Ashdown rm500 Gallien Krueger fusion 550 Gallien Krueger 800s Bugera 300w valve Trace v6. Plenty of preamps too. I just didn't really get that warm feel and punch or sound out of them that I did with other cabs. Surprisingly at that time I switched back to markbass lmiii with a sans amp and x2 traveller 210 cabs and it was so so much better. But everyone has different tastes and what sounds good with one person won't with another.

I've had the compact 1x12, 2x12 and x2 210s. I just didn't really get on with them. Might just be my playing style. I did lift a new markbass 4x10 a few weeks ago. Absolutely unbelievable. One hand lift for a 4x10. Plenty of proper lightweight cabs out there now.

Hi all, Does anyone have any ideas of a decent appregiator pedal for bass? Thanks.

I've seen a YouTube vid saying the Z3 has a trim pot on its preamp to bolster or tame it.

It's much better than a pointless valve in the preamp, like a lot of amps have. It's a full on valve emulator. Sounds fa tastic.

Its just the fact people have got used to class d and lightweight cabs. They'd be better thinking of it as heavier - but only one trip and one plug. Buy a little folding truck for £20 if needed. It's not so much the weight, more the awkward lift. The handle on top means it's a dead lift with one hand and it's against the side of your leg type of lift.

Take the feet off the elf and put taller ones on. Allows air too circulate underneath, runs much cooler. Cost about £2.

Have you ever tried no amp? Just a pedal direct to PA? It sounds crazy, but it's much easier and better than you think. You get all the bass goodness through the PA and can hear everyone else better without your bass masking them. Even better if all your band can do it. If not, the lightest combos I found were the new ashdown studios.

Boss katana 210 combo. Absolutely fantastic amp. Class A/B. Heft. Easy to use on the fly. Pretty much all the boss pedals you'll ever need inside it. PC options for sound creation and storage of sounds. 6 presets on its own. Unlimited when attached to a tablet or pc. It takes a while and a bit of luck but once you get the sounds and work it out, you really can't beat it. And it's loud. Proper loud. I play in loud bands and haven't had it above half way yet. I'm astounded these haven't caught on more. There was an as new one on here a it back for around £250!!!

The stacked knobs on the P7 were bad too. Cheap plastic, but kept sticking to each other. Ie turn the bottom one and you end up inadvertently turning the top one. I'm sure though (probably on here) people posted replacement solutions - cheap aftermarket knobs. I love sire as a brand. Best value out there bar none. I'm surprised they've not addressed the stacked knob issue though. Anywho, they look great basses. Enjoy.

They're great. The mid selector makes a big difference to any drive sounds too. And it's so easy to get a good sound even just running it flat and with the tilt dial.

It's bad everywhere. We have a lot of business items that would have previous flown out after a day or two at around a grand, and no ones interested after months at £300. Worrying times.

Just remembered too - for balance actual oasis where £30 a ticket around 2001 when I watched them.

They havent arrived yet though..

Mind you ive just been looking at some old tickets.... Police circa 2005 - £65. Rolling Stones circa 2008 - £90.
