awesome basses got me a 5er a week ago, very quick neck and awesome pickups nice output considering its passive, mine are the duncan designed pickups. keeps up with my modulus which new was an 1800 quid bass, also being a fender if you want to upgrade at any point its easy to drop in new pickups tone controls etc, im changing all the hardware on mine nothing to do with the quality i just want to have all black hardware. for a first bass its hard to see a better bass for the money. andy

this needs to go in the for sale forum buddy

this looks pretty wicked and for its size aswell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaKGAVcGtYw andy

ah ok guys i see your point, but on the flip side does this just not mean several posts about the same thing? ie ill now have to post again? andy

Just go out of the head into the first cab and then link the cabs together Andy

as the title states my wanted add is not visible as its gone down the list, yet cant bump it back to being visible is there a reason? i know people will find it with the search but i seem unable to respond to anything in that section, having paid £20 to use the section for a year how come i cant fully use it? andy

sounds like a beast, keeps up really well with the modulus just a process of getting used to it now. andy

i just got a rack eq and the boss limiter to help protect my amp as i tune low and use fuzz and octaves so just wanted the limiter to catch the peaks and then use the rack eq to do the job of a thumpinator as it has a 25hz high pass but can do a bit of added shaping with it as well. andy

Looks like the vintage version of the b7k. Not that exciting for me but a good idea Andy

have you tried any cabinets with it? or what do you have at the minute? andy

without restringing or buying say a detuner to open up those extra few notes, id say as you already have the 5 and if your happy with it id go with that. i have two because my basses are in different tuning to make my life easy andy

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1389905009' post='2339474'] All I'm saying is you questioned how a 1x12 could "beat" an 8x10 and suggested a placebo effect; I merely offered a reason as to why a 1x12 might be perceived to "beat" an 8x10 Edit: not sure I explained myself well in the first post on this matter [/quote] i get you dude its ok andy

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1389903068' post='2339444'] Maybe the 8x10 is a particularly crap example of the 8x10 concept, and also bear in mind the comparison was centred around the tone of the cabs. The 1x12 is more focused in the mids due to a superior (probably!) design so the perceived superior volume is easy to understand in context [/quote] cant really compare the tones of an 810 to a 112 fairly though can you? andy

ive got a beasty mutli unit coming from tom!

not to be a basher, but surely for there is a tiny placebo effect happening here? ie i doubt that a 112 cab no matter how good should be anywhere near an 810? not tried a bf cab and i do want to and they look good, and its cool so many people are happy with them. andy

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1389745537' post='2337587'] This is the other main supplier [url="http://www.bluearan.com/"]http://www.bluearan.com/[/url] [/quote] thanks man, think ill go the route of ply with a laminate top, hopefully can start building once ive been paid and get the main body of the cab done then grab speakers over a few months andy

i think thats just a way of running both channels at the same time bud. andy

[quote name='Bleurg' timestamp='1389737811' post='2337463'] Ah the 410 will be in the van with all their other kit. One thing about the Hartke which surprised me was the weight: 38Kg (84lb) ! Deffo do not want that landing on your foots [/quote] well the weight is probs down to it being a combo, give it a try hes probs judged it before even hearing it at gig volume andy

hi guys im gonna grab an 810 soon hopefully, but i would also like to make a cab aswell, for experience anyone have any links to where i could find 10" speakers? and can i used any inch think ply? found this link but are there anywhere cheaper? http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/pair-pack-x2-eminence-legend-b810-32ohm-10-150watt-speaker-p-1137.html andy

[quote name='Bleurg' timestamp='1389696064' post='2336922'] Thanks for the replies. They do not play loud but the regular bass player (old school with attitude, tending to what I at least think is an overly thick & dead sound) poured scorn on my using the Hartke alone. He clearly thought me a dangerous modernist heretic when I told him I had just started to use a Bass Big Muff pi. But I will take it a long just to see how it goes. Given a decent input level and not killing it via duff tone stack settings seems loud enough to me but never know how it will pan out. [/quote] ive had this with my a guy turned up with my orange rig his first words were "well its not ampeg" give the 210 a try as it will soave you lugging a big 410 cab to the gig. andy

[quote name='gillento' timestamp='1389694747' post='2336910'] The solution to any overdrive/DI related issue has been the same for me for years. The Tech21 VTBass (clean setting) as last filter on my pedal board is my eapon of choice. Any fuzz, overdrive or distortion you put before this has its unpeasant highs filtered by the VT and does sound great in the DI. I hat multi channel live recordings made using this chain and , on the one hand a A-Designs REDDI, and the other hand an aguilar TH500, TecAmp610 cab miked with a Heil PR40. Both signals sounded VERY close! I dont bother using the expensive PR40 anymore in a live setting. [/quote] Get some of the drive from my head so thats no gd Andy

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1389249915' post='2331815'] I got my eq yesterday, very happy with it. I like the 6db/12db switch, it provides the option of how extreme you want to be [/quote] Indeed plus using the low cut is a nice bit of protection

[quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1389642465' post='2336512'] It,s good presence is,I ike it a lot. so it,s a high pass filter It,s independant from treble then ? [/quote] Yeh id imagine so it will seem like its boosting the high as its cutting the lows Andy

that sucks! andy
