'Tis the season to make that list. Since I'm a sucker for CD box sets as well as groovy basslines, I was thinking of getting a few wishes dotted down on the dreaded annual wish list. So far i have only found a Jaco Pastorius 2CD, a Maurcus Miller 5CD collection and a Charles Mingus box. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated

I'm getting the P-version. Sounds great, looks cool - feels wonderful.

[quote name='col67' timestamp='1350200372' post='1835597'] The mag 300 has no compressor the mag300 evo2 has. Ive had both and i preffered the evo2. I had the 2x10 combo and a 1x15 ext [/quote] Thanks for clearing that up

Yup. Ashdown mag 300 EVO II 1x15" versus an Ashdown mag 300 (not EVO) 2x10"

Ahem...i have a small bonus question! Is there something called a Mag 300 (without the EVO-name)? I have two amps that I'm looking on s/h, one is for sure a EVO II, the other one is "possibly" an EVO. If this is the casem should I avoid the non-EVO amp? Hope someone could clarify this for a non-Ashdown user

Thanks for the info. I got my eye on two MAGs. A 1x15" and a 2x10". What's your thoughts on these two? Again. Thanks for all comments and inputs

[font=verdana, geneva, lucida,][size=2] [b]What Ashdown would you get?[/b][/size][/font][color=#000000][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,] The MAG 300 combo or the T115 250S combo?[/font][/color]

Nobody want to show their guessing skills? I like the number 3 Sound best, and I might guess it's a P bass. Who wants to take a shot at it, before the correct answers are revealed?

I could hear the difference, but I'm not quite sure what bass I like the best http://dubsaint.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/p-j-or-ray-whats-the-difference-anyway-part-2-take-the-sound-test/ That said, I love to play on my Jazz - the P is a big chunk of wood compared to the slick and sexy J. Never played a Ray - yet!

No way Highfox, the Renault is my soulmate. It's scratched and has a few dings, it don't run 100% every day, some days it won't even start - and the stereo inside is outdated, so If I was a car - I would be that exactly Renault Megane!

What pick do you prefer? For many years (both on guitar and bass) my preferred pick was a Yamaha Hard. I can't find that specific pick anymore so I'm looking for a new one - and searching online showed me a lot of strange picks. Some made of bone, wood and even metal! What is your preferred choice of pick? I use a pick on my P-bass, and fingers on my J-bass

I was cleaning out in my man cave, and got caught up in something else. I got to play around with a Behringer combo. After a while, I actually got a nice tone out of it, so despite the bad rep Behringer has, I like to play my combo at home. One thing I don't enjoy from it (apart from the weight) is the lack of power! I have a 90w combo and it's only good for goofing around with alone. Not even in an acoustic trio is it worth much. I have never tried the Behringer U450/550w heads, but I plan to try them out one day. Just a few words from a man taking a break from the almost impossible task of making my hide-away look good and tidy - and Stanley Clarke is blasting out of my speakers

A combo is often cheaper, but the weight... If you are dragging your gear around a lot, I think you will replace a combo with a head/cab soon. I know I did.

[quote name='TheRockinRoadie' timestamp='1336502171' post='1646583'] Nice family isteen! Especially loving the Squier TB - saw a guy using one at my local on saturday, it sounded fantastic! Its interesting to see the Vox amp - I have a 1970s Vox Escort (same sized amp) signed by the members of Queen. I really ought to get it valued! Cheers, Lorry [/quote] Thanks mate - yes, I bet your Vox could bring in a nice little extra cash! They are fantastic looking little amps (the tone isn't all that great). It's amazing what you can get for that small price (I think I gave 90 euro)

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1337007935' post='1653870'] Another TB convert then? [/quote] I have been to TB actually, but never that much to be call a regular TB'er I feel more at home here...

I have a few amps, and I'm guessing I'll have more coming in. The smallest one I have is the [url="http://www.voxamps.com/uk/pathfinder/pathfinder10bass/"]Vox 10 watt[/url] but I'm looking for another small one. Any experiences ([i]good or bad[/i]) with these little ones, that are good for solo stuff?

Thanks for the advice on the volume guys, I'll make sure to remember that, if I get one. Thanks, I'm glad we have this friendly forum where we can help each other out, rather than shout and put each other down

Such a fine bass. Such a horrible sound it makes

I love [b]The Toy Dolls[/b], and [url="http://youtu.be/8_06WpuSp1s"]Tommy Goober [/url] is a cool bass player. But the low action he has on his bass ([i]Musicman[/i]?) would drive me crazy.

I can spend hours looking at various bass gear. At the moment I'm looking at the Zoom B2, and I might just spring for the B1 instead. I like the fact that they have a small percussion mode - so home practice might be more fun. Anyone with hands on experience with these small gadgets?

A few shots of my Squiers, and my little cute Vox and Gallien Krueger head

Thank you all

Hi guys - show me your saddles I am adjusting the saddles on my P-bass, here's a few pics of what it looked like, when it came from the shop Not very good looking, so I'm lowering the saddles/strings - trying to not get them so low they'll ring giving that [i]ringing sound[/i] So, if you have that type of saddles, please shoot up a pic or two...

[quote name='Len_derby' timestamp='1336211340' post='1642479'] Is everything working as it should? In other words, does it have any relation to a new, or old, fault? [/quote] Yep, everything is working as it should, no problems with the electronics

Yesterday I was goofing around with my Squier VM P-bass, and when I had to move some stuff, I was turning my bass upside down. I could hear something loose tumble around inside the bass, anyone ever experienced that before? Any suggestions where to look, and maybe what it is?
