the purple chillis do look cool I am more than happy with my ashdown 4x10 & 1x15 sound wise but getting em through a narrow door way round a tight corner and up 3 flights of stairs on my own is quite literally a pain in the arse due to my now pretty severe sciatic pain so Im now thinking of going lightweight but im not prepared to compromise on sound / power thought about castors but that doesnt help the stair situation + only reason im reluctant to try the barefaced stuff is ive never liked the sound of a 1x15 on it own just doesnt have the mids and highs that 10's do

I do really want to stay with a 4x10 Any other suggestions for a tone obsessed bassist on a budget Bergantino AE410 looks great but as you say it is big bucks

Can anyone reccomend me some cabs to look at I currently using an ashdown abm 4x10 and 1x15 with an abm 500 head I love the sound of the rig but moving around on a regular basis on my own is killing my back Im using a vt bass for most of my sound but i like the warmth low end thump of the ashdown Do the lightweight cabs still deliver or do they sound a bit thin

Talk to ashdown they are the most helpfull company ive ever dealt with they helped me out lots

thing is I dont mind paying but it is not a £200 job however good it is i been building custom bikes for 10 years and am used to paying that sort of money for a pro job on a complete bike I could almost buy a new painted warmoth body for that looks like its destin to stay a relic

[/quote] lol funny f##ker should have been a bit more specific i guess I got a geddy Love it to bits but its a kind of matt black relic look at the moment so im considering having it sprayed of if they want to much money ill live with the grungy look

Can anyone out there reccomend me a good painter in the london surrey area I want a good job done but am not in a position to pay a load of cash out

Just thought id add I bought a set of Emg 35dc's mainly from everyone else reccomendations on talkbass and I absolutly hated them They were way over the top on the output I couldnt use most of my pedals because they were constantly clipping recording direct was real hard work yes they are loud but the noise that they produce is just a sterile boom i had them in a week then sold em and put the hz's back in which I may add produce a better tone just at a lower volume my advice dude let your amp do the volume boosting work thats what its made for Go Passive with a preamp

im in the same boat I got a schecter with hz which is why it doesnt get used nordstrand will make any of there pickups in the 35 shape so you can have big singles , splits, or dual coils all of them are suppossed to sound emmense talk to a guy called brian at best bass gear for a price either that or aaron armstrong Kents son will custom wind you a pair to your description of tone for a measly £75 per pickup and they are also amazing
