Hi all I just wondered whether having the bass the same height standing as sitting goes for if you play with a pick as well? Many thanks

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1342197224' post='1731486'] Rickenbacker necks are very strong, despite some horror stories which you might read online! Just make sure you get it set-up correctly, dual truss rods and all. I assume you'd be looking at a 4003 (post-1980..ish)? 4003's were designed for the more 'modern' higher-tension string. I wouldn't feel so good sticking that higher tension on a 4001, especially with age, etc.! Strong necks, yes, but 135-65 is quite chunky....and then there's the whole fretwear, or possibility of, issue.... The 4003's after (I think) mid-2010 have an even stronger 2-piece neck, which will take anything you throw at it! But you'll be pretty safe with whichever you go for in 4003 world. [/quote] Many thanks Spongebob. Yes it would be a brand new 4003 that I would be interested in. Cheers : )

Hi all Within the next 2 years I would like to get a rick, always loved them ever since I first set eyes on them lol. I play doom / sludge and currently use two fender jazz basses. I just wondered whether anyone has any experience using ricks with heavy guage strings as my current string guage is 135 - 65. Do ricks play well with heavy guage strings ? Many thanks Adam

[/quote] After playing through it more tonight I have to say that it is an amazing cab! way more power and mids than the orange, an overall more refined tone.

[quote name='quimbymeat' timestamp='1341931591' post='1726404'] It was th bass d.i. that i got modded not the gt200, Andrew said you can't mod the older gt200 but it's still the perfect head anyways [/quote] I agree, love mine

[/quote] Hi Not really had a good session to test the 4x10 out since purchasing it but from the little go that I have had with it it seems to have more bottom end, power and punch. I really think that being non ported makes a big difference as well. How much did the mods to your gt200 cost if you don't mind me asking ? Pm me if you would rather discuss that way. Cheers

[quote name='longtimefred' timestamp='1341853019' post='1725152'] these Matamp green 4x10s are just the best aint they! I proper want another one. [/quote] Yeah they have killer tone, the 2x15 is a beast too! Will have to keep my eyes peeled but I think it will be hard to come by another one

[quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1341851929' post='1725134'] Looks great Adam! [/quote] Cheers, now all i need to do is swap the orange 410 for another mat amp green 410, lol

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1341824577' post='1724473'] Very nice indeed! But I think you should fire your carpet consultant. [/quote] What you on about that is my prayer mat for when I give thanks to the Doom gods

Hi all, I had started my own topic then found this one so thought I would add a pic of my gear here as well, share the mat amp love. [IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/Basswise/IMG_0265.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1341780637' post='1724150'] I think we`d have all heard, if you could. Nice rig! [/quote] Hehe ! Sometimes at practice I think we may be structurally damaging the building, lol. Cheers. Only thing I want to do is replace the orange 4x10 with another matamp green 4x10 if one ever comes up in the future.
