I smiled, cried and got a wee semi all at once when I heard about this. COUNT ME IN YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Well seeing Alan and Dave are men of action and actually arrange these bashes rather than talking about it, I would advise you all look out for the next Moffat bash.

I swear brother and amen.

[quote name='apa' timestamp='1318452010' post='1402493'] In a nutshell would you mess with the sort of bloke who owns a bass like that? and I dont think theres much 'camp' about him A[/quote] Stuff the kinda guy that would use a bass like that, I would be more worried about the kinda guy that uses a burd like that habahaha

[quote name='apa' timestamp='1318413745' post='1401717'] I think before anyone critisises this bass think back to the law of the jungle......... Your walking through the trees and come across a camp where there is a hut twice as ugly and twice the size of yours with a bed twice as ugly and twice the size of yours with a club resting against it twice as ugly and twice the size of yours. Then you hear a distant THUD....THUD....THUD.... of footsteps twice as loud and twice as ugly as yours. What do you do? stop and take the p*ss?? Just a thought A [/quote] are you saying this burd is twice as big and twice as ugly as yours?

WARWICK why are they so pricey and why are they soooooooooooo boring. They are the grey of the bass world. I have had many many basses and the Warwicks I have played were quickly passed on as they have nothing exciting about them. Over priced and not exciting in the slightest. BLAND BLAND BLAND.

bass bash in Moffat!!! never heard of it.

Ok so far I have found that different vendors produce very different sounds in the valves and its the actual valve type IE..12AT7, 12AX7, 12AU7 that actually give the different types of gain thats produced. So thats that sorted Now its just finding a valve that will allow me to have nice trebly attack without distorting so much you are unaware of which note your playing!!!!

you dont have to rebias the valves in these amps. Surely with the valves and what they do as components in the preamp stage WILL have an impact in the overall sound of the OBT. Plus there are a few folk out there who have made the swap and found the horrible O/D sound being calmed right down.

Hola all, I am currently in the process of swapping out the stock preamp 12AX7 valves in my bass terror due to them not suiting my sound when I crank the amp. Now I am looking into what I want to swap them with and I find various model types and vendors and to be honest I am now a bit lost. I know different types of valves with give me different sounds. But do the model types all have the same output or does it depend on the vendor that gives it a specific sound? I like a trebly attack (think the striking F note at the start of Baba Oreilly). I know the EQ aint great on the OBT and I dont want to be restricted to playing low levels incase I get that horrible O/D sound sound. So even if you could let me know what the differnt model number mean and then give me your thoughts on a prefered preamp valve. I have read HappyJacks thread on the swap and he gave me some great advise tonight as well so all I need to do is find a valve. Cheers Steven

Its ok all. Turns out it was strings direct I was looking for

I may be wrong, but im pretty sure I had an account with strings and things webshop. I just went onto the website and its a different layout and they say they are wholesalers! Have i got my websites mixed up or have they changed their selling method?

amazing clip,,,,just to show without bass the band has to heart. Big smiles before i go to bed:-)

Bravo I say. A great quick reference for the competent player and I imagine a great resource for the folk just learning. Its a great tool and I have it in my favourites.

yeah it seems a tad cheap to me... Like BB said, if genuine this is one hell of a bargain

[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1317819997' post='1394927'] Just an update then..... no gigs since then (been training up a new guitarist) but plenty of rehearsals with no problems at all. Reviewing my technique slightly so not to play so hard. I have plenty of headroom left on my rig as it happens. It's all that Bongo's fault [/quote] hahahaha.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1317763563' post='1394422'] Agreed, that butterscotch Tele is turning my head. [/quote] want too chip in with me Matt hahaha.

if anyone wants to buy my Fender Jaguar from me I think i will get the Tele bass. That Tele just looks awesome to me. The butterscotch one is on the cards for me.
