Look carefully at the pics. Is it just me, or is the neck/body join a bit squiffy? I'm sure I can see misalignment and a biggish gap in the neck pocket.

Anyone want to join me in a bit of pointing and staring?

I'd say keep the Warwick unless you are desperate for the dosh i.e. eviction or mortgage foreclosure imminent! (1) Always good to have a spare. (2) The things you say about it show that it takes you to a different place musically, and it is therefore a worthwhile instrument to own.

Slightly OT but it seems to be a buyer's market for used amps at the moment - I am watching several in the Market Place!

I think that vid is aimed at people who want to believe it - they'll lap it up, and use it to provide affirmation for their buying decisions. Whereas I am a cynical old git.

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1381532913' post='2240539'] my other two two cats Tinker and Belle are a lot better behaved and just attack furniture, er and loo rolls - lol [/quote] Do they think they are Andrex puppies?

I generally get the piece down on paper (well Sibelius actually), check what I have written corresponds to what I am hearing, then work out how I am going to play the line.

I played guitar in a church music group for a lot of years. Only do it if your motivation is primarily spiritual (whatever that means) rather than musical, or you will end up very conflicted.

I'm glad Marshall can't read this! I keep my music room door closed when I'm not in it. Marshall is allowed to claw 2 things in the house: the magazine basket (gets replaced annually) and an old pouffe in the conservatory (c'mon folks, you're better than that). His paws are like gorilla's hands, so if he claws something, it stays clawed! I just don't like to shout at him as he is a timid soul.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1381505725' post='2240055'] Its worth noting that BF cabs fall into two camps tonally. The compact and midget are essentially small/light/efficient cabs that still fundamentally sound like a traditional "bass cab" i.e. some degree of coloration and upper mid emphasis. The big series OTOH are a very different proposition and are designed to act like PA cabs (i.e. minimal coloration and flat frequency response) with an extended low end. Its the same design philosophy as ACME accugroove et-al. If youve spend decades playing through traditional bass cabs, and setting your amp/bass to sound the way you like, then hearing the same bass/amp through such a clean flat cab is going to be either a revelation or a shock. As a previous poster said what you hear though this sort of cab is going to be much closer to what the audience hears out front when the bass is through the PA. [/quote] I can confirm this from my experience at the SE Bass Bash, where Captain Rumble tried his Eden through his S12T, Compact, my Midget, and then the last 2 together. I was stunned to hear how 'coloured' the Compact and Midget were compared to the S12T, even with the tweeter bypassed; all sounded great, but more different than I had expected.

The MB200 is about the only giggable bass amp that you can fit in your coat pocket!

Our cat Marshall - coincidentally as big, black and heavy as a Marshall cab - just wandered into my music room to inform me it was biscuit time, and started into my BF midget with his claws. Little git! Fortunately he went for the paint finish rather than the silver grille cloth, so no visible damage was done. I have warned him that I could do with a pair of furry slippers. Actually the best way to keep him away is to play bass - low frequencies send him running for cover behind the sofa. Here is a picture of him in a stupid-looking pose. He is dim but loveable - provided he keeps his claws off my kit! [attachment=145779:MadMarshall.jpg]

So, 4-string to 5... This is the reverse-MDP process, for people with tragically skinny fingers... or not. EDIT: subscribed!

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1381356079' post='2238153'] Sounds to me as though sir is coming to appreciate his new amp yes? [/quote] Yes indeed, but the proof of the pudding will be on Saturday - afternoon jam on fretless, evening gig on fretted 4!

Just tried my 5-er through it. This thing has much more range in both directions than the TC Classic. I got a nice tone with gain switch in, gain and volume at about noon, bass backed off slightly, mids boosted at 600Hz, treble flat. I say 'tone', I should say 'range of tones' - as I said in my first post, you get a very clear reflection of any changes in control settings on the bass itself. These settings gave a good string balance, which is always nice.

What about using it in a good mood at home!? EDIT: mine didn't really click for me till I started to play along with some tracks.

Lovely job!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1381173440' post='2235435'] Man, the 450 and 750 is all abouts mids mids mids, I've never once ever had issues with volume, tone, compression, or anything. In fact, the 450 sounded 'larger' than most the 500W similar micros. [/quote] True. The EQ centre frequencies on the Classic are 200Hz, 400Hz, 800Hz, and 1.6kHz, so despite the labels they are all [u]mid range controls[/u]! I happen to like this, but if you are one of those people who enjoys frequencies of 5kHz or more in their bass sound, you will need to access the TweeterTone(TM) control on your RH, or if you have a Classic - get a different amp!
