  1. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I shouldn't have looked at Bass Merchant/TecAmp websites ('specially since MK ain't a million miles away)- a couple of questions 1 - Is the pre-amp all solid state or is there a valve in there somewhere? 2 - The words suggest the Puma will cope with passive and active basses - any idea how it might react to a Status with 18V active electronics. 3 - Any accessories included (carry case, rack ears, foot switch etc.....)

Im getting sick of this bullcrap and will just ebay it to save any more hassle if I dont have my full asking price by midnight Monday.[/quote] PM on its way in a few minutes.
  5. [quote name='Blink' post='761142' date='Mar 1 2010, 08:22 PM']Chezz55 I live between Colchester and Clacton. The neck string anchor that ia attached to the bass just has slots for double ball strings. The "string thing" is a small block with 5 holes and 5 grub screws and is held in place by string tension.

  9. My two-penny-worth. I started out on 4-String basses (tuned E-A-D-G) and played them quite happily from 1968 to 1993, never felt the need to have any more strings in either higher or lower registers. If the band played in an 'inconvenient' key then I moved my left hand along the neck. Then in 1993 I had a 'Full-Tilt, In-Yer-Face, Pick-The-Bones-Out-Of-That' Epiphany. I strolled into PMT Oxford and tried a few Fender Precisions (Fretted, fretless, 4 and 5 string) and wasn't blown away by any of them. Then I tried a Jackson Concert Pro-V five string (tuned B-E-A-D-G) AND THAT WAS IT - I BOUGHT IT THERE AND THEN. I've tried a couple of 4-Stringers since but I wouldn't go back to one now. My current and only weapon of choice is a 5-String headless Status Stealth II, and I'm happy to admit that I'm 'Totally Addicted To Bass' generally and to the Low B in particular and it suits the bands I work with. My bottom line - there's no right and no wrong here, if it feels right and it works for you then - go with the flow. Chris. (Chezz55)
  10. Just taken delivery of a Gator 3U rack case from yer man Finbar. No problems at all - Smooth transaction and first class communications - A pleasure to do business with. Chris (Chezz55)
  11. John Entwistle. The 4 bass-breaks in the original "My Generation" (the first 45rpm record I ever bought in 1965/6) were, are and evermore shall be sublime and seminal. Chris.

  18. Hi Mobius. I can't comment on the WCA411, but I have been using Warwick Pro-Fet Amps (a 5.1 and a 3.2) for several years now. In my experience they're reliable, they sound good and have a good range of tonal variation and facilities. Take it easy. Chris. [quote name='Mobius3107' post='496528' date='May 24 2009, 11:12 AM']Hi there Im lookng for a new bass rig for small-ish venues, playing with a Police tribute band, among other things. I have a budget of 1000 quid, and have found a potential combination for the money- Warwick ProFet 5.2 500w 4ohm Warwick WCA 411 Pro 600-800w 4ohm I was wandering if anyone has had experience with either of these products? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks[/quote]
