I'm currently looking at financing one to have as a backup to a TecAmp Puma that needs a bit of work doing to it. I prefer clean tones, and would run a SansAmp into it for some dirt! [/quote] Completely different animal to the ABM. Retroglide is a lot cleaner, the ABM is rawk n roll

Lovely bit of kit, well built, solid and very simple to use. They have a very clean sound that is easy to tweak. I think they are a bit of a bargain £379 I had one but sent it back as it was too clean for me and wasn't loud enough at 8ohm. It didn't sound like your normal Ashdown... still very cool though. Bought an EVO 4 to replace it. Would I have another? Yes, but not for this band.

I wonder why the price difference between bb2024 and bb34 is so great? Both made in Japan.

They haven't even landed yet and GAK are already discounting them. MIJ 1200 notes... that's some deal.

I really enjoyed it through my beer goggles. It's the Foo Fighter, it's what they do. The BBC presenters... I'm quite surprised that I could understand what they were saying as both had heads firmly stuck up the back side of any band playing... embarrassing.

Hooky hinting at a signature model on Twitter. Ooh..

Any news?... Any spotted in the UK?

Does it really matter who played it before you got your hands on it? If funding were not a problem, I would get a top notch guitar and a similar bass. The guitar could be a '59 Les Paul or an R9 built recently. The only requirements being it is a good guitar, nice player and not too heavy. And absolutely not neck heavy!!!! If it were the '59 LP, it is a fact that several owners/players had it since then. A good instrument is a good instrument. [/quote] This thread isn't for you.

I went to see The Mission last night in Newcastle... Craig was using a TC Electronic BH800. It was sat on top of large rack unit and an Ampeg cab... not what I was expecting. The sound was okay and Craig was rock solid. It didn't look very rock n roll but I don't suppose the rest of the audience noticed.

Just to make this clear... It is a bargain. Buy it. Thank you

Just buy it. It's a bargain. I've been using one for the last few months. It's very flexible, it sounds good and it's very well built. £55? It's funk all in the current grand scheme of amazingly over priced pedals...

Cheers for the reply. That sounds very positive, I'm looking forward to having a go once they land in the UK. Love to get my mitts on a BB1200s as well, my made in Japan BB300 is proving to be an incredible bass for the money. I can only imagine the 1200s to be even better.

I'd like to know what Peter Hook thinks of the new bass as he always brings the BB1200S to the picture. Yamaha should just reissue that as a special edition.

The SVT200 is an excellent solid state head. From what I understand it was only made for a short time, then replaced by possibly the SVT350... not as good. I was looking for one for quite some time, still haven't bought one but it's definitely still on my list. Simon Gallup still uses 2 of these heads with The Cure, that's some lifespan for a amp that built in the late 80s early 90s.

Bassdirect are offering big discounts on the 20 series.
