I'd be interested. But I have seen one on ebay for £400 with a cab. I would only be willing to pay £300?

Yeah. Would you say[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1340104549' post='1699049']
the 500 is loud, but then i am running through my 610! but i have it at about 12'o'clock? so theres still a little bit more to go.

really nice clean tones, you can also add a little edge with the tube pre, not distorting but just a bit of edge.

really nice amp! i dnt need the 800 but if you have the money why not get a more powerfull amp? and the 800 is i think pretty good value! although i might be tempted to get a momark head as its about the same price and you then can basically have all the markbass heads on tap as the modules are pretty reasonable!

Would you say it's too gimmiky?!

Or is it a nice niche that will work ona pro level?

Why do I need an 800? If the most I'll use is 1 2x 10 and 1 4 x 10 won't the 500 be sufficient? Or would you take the 800 for headroom?

Anyone got any thoughts on the amps?

Fairly advanced. Will play any style and will travel for the right fee.

PM me.

I am a christian bassist. I'd say I'm very tight and willing to practice. I can't drive and i'm midlands. Will do recordings and gigs if paid to travel. Don't drive til Sept.

Plus is the the old version of the head?

hartke 4x10 xl alluminium cones and HA3500

I'd do £400 if you could deliver to birmingham next month when i'm paid for June?

Urgent... Anyone got a pdf of a real fake book in bass clef!?!

Anyone know any good bass rack Effects? Top spec?

thanks

Alder, Ash, Mahogany, Maple? I don't know which would will help produce what sound on which part of the bass?!

Name YOUR top 10 bassists of all time... Talking mainly about stand out virtuoso players here. Any genre.

Thank you

Funny you should say that... Originally I was but now I like the new avenger series?

Thoughts and opinions, pros and cons of both basses listed above...


Thanks,

Need a Jazz bass style bass but with better components, woods, electronics, craftsmanship and sound.

Fender are just too much of a factory build but I love how a jazz bass sounds.

need something that is going to play and sound similar to a J bass but still keeping that original feel.

I've been to Bass Direct and tried Xotic basses which I liked. Clover I have heard good things about too?

Plus I want a 5 not a 4.

Bassheads thoughts?

The £5k budget is for amp and bass. I'm thinking maybe Fender jazz deluxe 5 with mark bass little mark tube 500 and a mark bass 4 x 10. Or maybe a genz benz shuttle and a vanderkley 4 x 10 or......... a genz benz with a bergantino 4 x10.

Thoughts?

I've been to bass Direct all day today and I have only warmed to this gear. However, obviously I didn't try every bass in there.

Maybe a bass modelled on a j-bass with better components would be an option.

I'm totally new to the in depth world of bass. I've played for years but I want to step up in my knowledge. I fortunately can just afford some good gear. So I want to get it right. I'm on tour with a London Community Gospel Choir. I have 5k to spend on gear. hense the questions so I can get it right.

Just trying to get a general feel of players on the forum. It's all subjective. What's your favourite bass?

I want to know what brand, what model and why?

I always look at heads and cabs but never know what will work with what power wise? And do tubes make a difference?

So you'd by a little mark tube 500 over ampeg?

COuld I just buy a head, plug my bass in and take the line out into the mixing desk? For tonal purposes.

Looking at an Ampeg SVT CL with an SVT 410HLF?


Thoughts?

Do us Bassists really need pedals?
