[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1299504922' post='1152462'] pubs around Stoke put originals bands on all the time! [/quote] Same on the Isle of Wight, we play a couple of pubs regularly at £200 a go. It's fairly standard here for originals bands to play the pub scene.

[quote name='Ziphoblat' timestamp='1379256512' post='2210391'] I got a 2009 German made active bubinga Warwick Corvette for that much. Warwicks hold their value so poorly that buying a new one is a bad idea. Hang onto your brass and wait for a "proper" Warwick to come up second hand that takes your fancy. [/quote] Same story here, so I'd agree!

Funny, I borrowed an '82 P as I've got a hankering for one and my bandmates much preferred my normal 'Ray tone!

No, I think as others have said you just feel it after a while. Especially if you sing a bit too, you don't really have the choice! Though, if the drummer isn't great (!!) I will count pauses and other little bits.

[quote name='TraceAmp' timestamp='1378470638' post='2200794'] [/quote] Just had to google this. Never heard of them, but see they're made by H&K?! The build quality looks great.

[quote name='guybrush threepwood' timestamp='1378818154' post='2205016'] Isn't it just?! [/quote] That's a very handsome rig!

We use an old one for recording. It does overdriven sounds absolutely brilliantly. It's great to play too.

Wow. That looks incredible. Very classy. How do these sound? I've never had the chance to play one.

My main rig; LMIII and Club600f32, front ported 800w 2x12.

After years of not understanding the hype, a decent Precision.

Little Mark III, which must be one of the most popular amps on here? With a Club 600f32, which probably not many others here use?! Anyway, I use the amp because, as already mentioned, it has a great warm sound. Also, is easy to set up and get good tones from. I use it in my originals and covers band, it's very versatile.

Ive only owned one Mexican bass, a P bass. I took it as part ex on a whim. It was pretty bad and I wouldn't have bought it had I checked it out first. But, I've had two Mexican Strats, one was very good, and I regret selling it, the other, an early 90's one, is the best sounding and playing Strat I've come across.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1377767531' post='2191445'] And now I quite fancy a di box, bloody gas eh [/quote] Yep! And the longer it plays on your mind, the more convinced you become that you NEED it! I have ordered a Behringer job as I'm stuck for gigs over the next few days and at that price it'd be rude not to! Definitely going to check the Zoom out though as it looks like it would be ideal for the sh*tty venues you don't want to use over a grands worth of amp and cab at! Cheers guys.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1377724295' post='2191060'] I think class d amps are ace for this, I take a shuttle 3.0 as a spare to my 6.0 or the 6.0 as backup to the shuttlemax9.2 if it is a larger gig where losing stage sound isn't ideal, all three heads have a good quality di too handy for recording or live stuff. Not really a fair comparison to a di box cost wise though. [/quote] That's the aim I think. Leaning towards a Behringer unit in the short time and get another head when funds allow.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1377721833' post='2190979'] Behringer BDI21 is a great bit of kit. But, if you`re looking for a backup to the LMII, I`d look at the Zoom B3, as it has amp-modelling on it, and one of the amps is the LMII. Also has much much more on it, but I use mine just for compression, a bit of drive, and the tuner. Should my amp fail, I`ve still got my exact same sound straight to desk. [/quote] Thanks. That looks very interesting. Seems very well regarded. Lots of features for the money too.

Awesome. Got to be worth a go at that price!

Hey all, My LMIII has been less than reliable the past few weeks or so and I'm just getting round to sending it back as it is still under warranty. I got caught out Saturday just gone as it died completely during out second set and i had to go direct into the desk, so i'm wondering now, what people use for backups. Not sure whether to get another amp or a D.I - something like the MXR M80. Obviously both have their plus points and i'd like to get another amp, but funds won't allow it in the short term. Can anyone recommend a good cheap(ish) D.I, or is it worth getting a cheap backup amp? Cheers

I have the fretted version, a 1995. Love everything about it. Probably the best value for money instrument I've bought!

Is this still going? I can give it a good home! Cheers :-)

Miss my 102p, they're great cabs.

LMIII and Markbass Club600f32.

Hey guys, I'm trying to get this out there as much as possible - as we all are with our music! My band, Hundred Lies, released our first video today. Would love to know what you think, we're really pleased with it. The bass parts were recorded with a Feneder Jazz through an old Bassman 100 and matching 2x15. The track was mastered by Pete Maher and the video was put together by our very own keys player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NlHBokxOYI Hope you enjoy, thanks for taking the time to watch, Matt

Have used mine through many cabs and it has sounded pretty good through each. Great if you only have 15 mins to sound check, as is too often the case! My favourite combo is paired with my own 212. A Markbass club600f32. They pair up brilliantly.
