Bought Chris's superb 79 Precision, a very easy transaction, made simpler by the excellent description. The packaging was outstanding too, highly recommended - cheers to a top chap!

[quote name='Vanderkley' timestamp='1447347714' post='2906961'] Cool! I do like Indian food by the way… ;-) [/quote] Not quite curry, but one of my favourite ever meals was a Dutch Indonesian rijsttafel in Amsterdam - amazing variety! Back on topic: I stack my Baer ML112s as per photo 1 and it seems to give the best room coverage with a meaty low end. Can be a bit harder to hear the stack from the stage that way (we're a noisy 7-piece) so I run the high end through a wedge floor monitor.

Tecamp PUMA 900 Price Drop *SOLD* PLEASE REMOVE
Kevsy71 replied to FuNkShUi's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Have a bump from a Puma 900 owner - packs a mighty punch and the taste control is all I tweak between songs, great stuff. -
Thanks for all the tips! The "Funkifying the Clave" book looks great, cheers

I'm in a seven piece rock/blues/soul band, and we used a gear4music PA package to start with (about £500), and updated the mixer/power amp to a combined Behringer unit we got for a bargain price from Thomann (about £280). So: maybe consider starting basic and then upgrading, certainly the original package was fine for pubs.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1443079006' post='2871929'] It's a new world for me and I'm loving wrapping my basslines around the various different feels he is creating. [/quote] That's the perfect phrase for it, 'wrapping around' rather than locking in to a 4/4 beat. Time to practice with a backing track when I'm home!

I'm on a business trip to Atlanta and went to a superb 'Mexican Tapas' bar with a live 6-piece last night. They played a superb set, and it struck me just how cleverly the salsa bass interacts with the rhythm (drums and congas in this case) - weaving in an out, starting and stopping with the odd Jaco-style run thrown in for good measure. Really makes me want to give it a go! Now to convince the blues band that we need 'a slight change in direction' PS it was advertised as live salsa, but my Mexican chum assured me it was a blend of Latino styles throughout the set. Great food and beer too!

Kevsy71 replied to tonyclaret's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
That's a very good description from tonyclaret above, as a Puma 500 owner (and former Shuttle owner) I fully agree. -

I ordered a replacement LED torch from the Japanese website, quick delivery and polite service FWIW.

Hi GisserD, good to have you on board. Sounds like a mighty setup there, I'm sure if you crank it I will hear you in Kent!

[b][color=#ff0000]NOW SOLD[/color][/b] For sale: Ashdown Pi bass 240 amp, in full working order. Condition: excellent cosmetic condition, bought secondhand from eBay Where: Tonbridge, Kent. Can courier within UK for £5. Includes: orginal box, manual, power cord, instrument cord to speakon adapter (the amp has a speakon out) Selling because: Just bought Tec Amp puma 900, so this is now excess to requirements. My feedback link is in my signature. Description: This is the first version of this lightweight amp, running 240 watts into 8 Ohms. Here's the spiel from Ashdown ( [url="http://ashdownmusic.com/products/1/5a0/18/Legacy/101/PiBass-240/"]http://ashdownmusic....101/PiBass-240/[/url] ) [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Designed in conjunction with bass maestro Wojtek Pilichowski, the Pi-Bass 240 is an outstanding digital bass amp, delivering compact lightweight power and advanced tone-shaping at an ultra-affordable price. [/size][/font][/color] [b]Compact affordable power[/b] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Thanks to an innovative digital design, PiBass-240 packs 240W of glorious bass power into a box that weights just 1.5kg (3.3lbs) and is small enough to slip into the pocket of your gig bag. Despite its diminutive form, we haven't compromised on it's ability to deliver the fat low-end that Ashdown amps are renowned for – a sound that sets that standards amongst the lightweight competition. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Wojtek also specified a Ground Lift switch to eliminate problems with 'bad power' that can cause noise and other issues while playing live.[/size][/font][/color] [b]Powerful digital sound-shaping[/b] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Able to cover the widest range of styles, the powerful tone-shaping section leaves most compact amps in its dust, offering a truly flexible EQ able to nail any number of classic sounds and styles. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The four slider controls for Bass, Lo-Mid, High-Mid and Treble can be used to boost or cut each frequency range by up to 15dB. To the left of the Lo-Mid, High-Mid and Treble sliders are rotary controls marked FREQ-HZ. These are used to select the frequency at which the sliders boost or cut the signal.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The amp is set permanently in 'Bright' mode making it ideal for fast slap or rapid-fire percussive styles, but hitting the Bright switch will enable a warmer EQ shape with a richer, vintage flavour. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]The powerful PiBass preamp features Input level switching to accommodate active or passive instruments.[/size][/font][/color] [b]Uncompromised connections[/b] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Bringing true flexibility to our most compact amp, we've also included a headphone output for silent practise and a professional DI output for connecting direct to a PA or recording setup. [/size][/font][/color]

England declare BUMP. I will now post with the Crest mounted inside the Spider 3U case, because it will help protect it in transit! Same low price
-
How about the Peavey T40? Single coil/humbucking, pickup blend, phase switch seems to cover many styles - at least from what I've heard on YouTube, as I've not played one!

Beefy power stage BUMP

+1 for the 900, very easy and very loud! You may need to turn down the bass: it's centred at 30Hz and at high volume benefits from a twist to the left to reduce flabby distortion.
