[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1404766655' post='2495593'] I don't bother buying or selling on BC anymore. Too many 'this is just a feeler...........' for me. Despite it's shortcomings i'll stick to eBay thanks. [/quote] Oh wait, you're serious

'No longer available'. Somebody must have come up with the $40,000 then

Hey! Don't diss my bro Will.I.Am!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1400011239' post='2449938'] Hey Danny - I've got the 500 Fusion - whether the 800 sounds the same but with more power, I don't know. What I do know is the 500 is a beast and you will certainly get a warm, thumping tone out of it and then some - if that's what you want. You will also get extreme versatility in the mid range. I play in a rock band and usually have the gain at about 10:00 and the master at about the same - it's a very loud amp indeed and I would question the need for the 800 unless you have an [i]extremely [/i]loud drummer and/or guitarist. It's plug and play too, no need for periphery equipment - your sound is right there. It's lush. That's it from me - don't want to be accused of being a GK fanboi or cheerleader... [/quote] Oi! GK fanboi - pack it in!

ITV - found it!

Channel?

My GAS starts with a stray thought, which becomes a whim. A bit of online research follows, then maybe a trawl through back issues of Guitarist or whatever, and before I know it I am trying out the kit in a music shop. Fortunately I have enough sense that it stops when I realise I don't really like whatever it is, but if a purchase ensues, I have generally been happy and kept the thing. Sometimes I end up purchasing something completely different, e.g. three putative Jazz shopping trips have ended up with a P- type purchase!

I generally avoid any act with 'project' in the title but I'm prepared to be dissuaded from this view.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1403806534' post='2486711'] Have to say though, I had a TC Classic 450 and with Bass, High-Mids n Treble at noon, low-mids at minus 1, Gain & Spectracomp on 4 it sounded very old-school with a Precision (specially with old strings). [/quote] [quote name='gsgbass' timestamp='1403829171' post='2486953'] I think the RH450 is right on. Even if you don't use some of the extras on board, the stuff you do use is good. [/quote] [quote name='indiegrungesound' timestamp='1404491867' post='2493214'] I'd still stick with the RH450. I bought the BH500 recently-having also tried the RH450-which I love. And as far as I'm aware, every TC Electronic amp bar the BH250 has the same pre-amp & power amp set up regardless of size or power output, so you should be able to get a decent & loud sound from it IMO. [/quote] The Classic 450 is kind of a dumbed-down RH450. I kind of regret selling my Classic now, just for a different flavour from the Streamliner.

To me the main benefit of having £1,000+ to spend is the increased choice. Buy the bass that floats your boat, and if you have money left over, all well and good.

Next time, do a McCartney: Insist that you add your bass part last, and completely change the harmonic feel of the song by playing cheeky high-register melodic runs. All in the best possible taste of course.

I recently decided to learn it, listened to it on YouTube, and liked it so much that I bought the download. I transcribed it as heard (Ebm), and play that on 5-string. I also transposed it Em and altered a couple of notes so that I could play it on 4-string. I was considering covering it in my band (with me singing), but its allusion to the sexual appeal of Elvis Presley kind of scuppered that.

I've now gigged mine - settings as above, except master to about 2 o'clock. Plenty of P growl and fatness. The only downside was having to use IEMs. After a while I popped one of them out so I could hear what my amp sounded like!

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1404198405' post='2490100'] Against 2 guitards with 80W Marshals & noisy drummard - I don't think you've got a chance TBH (TBH also = to be heard) [/quote] This. I tried one in a shop, through a mahoosive Orange cab, and it wasn't loud on its own. IMO it would be lost among 2 guitarists and a drummer.

Very authentic sounding. Good job!

Did she die or just pass out?

They want to know your [b]height[/b]. WTF?

I have one for emergencies but wouldn't want to depend on one as part of my signal chain. Should be fine for a quick wander out front to check the mix. £3.29 from [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/635mm-metal-mono-coupler-l34az"]Maplin[/url].

Do you prefer to be in a steady band, or take gigs with different bands as they come? And why? Off you go...
