does it have to be ampeg? i a/b'd the svt cl against the aguilar db750 and if you look in my sig you'll see what won! honestly give it a go if you can! i love the ampeg cabs! but i had a prob with an svt pro 6 i had so i changed amp but love there cabs! andy

On a Spector owned by the bassist from Loverboy, no less![/quote] Woah! Jason left well before the st anger recording started, its just bob rock on the album Andy

[quote name='Mog' post='785350' date='Mar 24 2010, 11:43 PM']Yes really. Not a patch on Newstead IMO. There might be a few clips of the Dublin gig a few years back when they did the Master 20th aniversary thingy on the goo tube.[/quote] i really dnt get the love for newstead hes a good bassist. and the only video ive seen of him doing orion hes playing the slow riff completely wrong! andy

the back up to my svt pro 6 and now to my db750 is a little mark 2! works really well for me on the small gigs we do where i can't get the db750 and 610hlf to, and ive used it in the past thru my 610 and it was bloody loud! i'd def try one out! andy

[quote name='budget bassist' post='785171' date='Mar 24 2010, 09:14 PM']I've seen metallica a couple of times and rob's playing was pretty solid, though i'm a big metallica fan, and i really do hate death magnetic, i don't see how anyone can think it's close to their earlier stuff at all. I don't see how that bass is any different to a streamer CT other than the inlay though.[/quote] not but its at least going back in the right direction. and yeh as dwh87 said its got a dif body and that. which may work out that its a better thing to get rather than making a streamer to the same specs. only prob is its got a really big signature on the head stock and the inlay! dnt mind the inlay so much but i dnt really want the sig on it wish they'd of put it on the back of the headstock! andy

[quote name='hellothere' post='780744' date='Mar 20 2010, 01:16 PM']I think he played on the tour though. If you look at a chronological list of metallica's albums its the same as reading a list of their best to worst albums.[/quote] i think thats harsh! ok so there middle albums dnt sound like kill em all! thats just them growing up! for me death magnetic is an awesome album! badly produced and doesnt sound all that great but it is a very solid album! id much rather they changed than did what slayer have done! just release the same thing over and over again! on the rob sig warwick, if its less than the equal custom warwick i might think about it? as to get similar specs your talking like 6 grand! which is silly money! andy

[quote name='Ergon Oli' post='780683' date='Mar 20 2010, 12:17 PM']His work on the first couple of Infectious Grooves albums is solid as anything else. His technique might seem sloppy but he has made it work for him. He's been doing it a hell of a long time without any problems. Great player.[/quote] really sloppy? in what way? listen to the bass only tracks from death magnetic nout sloppy there! andy

[quote name='Mog' post='778244' date='Mar 18 2010, 08:35 AM']Yep, thats why he f***s up orion every time I've seen him try to play it. Seen him six times in total with different bands and each time its the same. Sloppy. Sure he has aggressive attack and speed but that doesn't make him a good bassist IMHO.I judge him on is what I have seen and it aint good. Simple as.[/quote] am really! i think its tiny little slip ups? nothing thats really bad! ive seen him twice and he was on the money! andy

ok so we've just added another song demo to our player! "waiting for my life to begin" would be cool if you guys could give some views on it andy

well i just looked up the price of a similar model if i got it made as a custom! and i had to stop at 4000! oh well! the chrome finish is on there site is 1000! on a nt! so im thinking its gonna alot of monies! this makes me sad! andy

[quote name='dwh87' post='776665' date='Mar 16 2010, 08:28 PM']Hmmm around £2000 is not so bad, i was expecting it to be closer to £3k. I will keep an eye out for prices over the next few weeks.[/quote] indeed im thinking it will go up tho! although from what ive read its styled on the bass he uses so it maybe less due to that, rather than like the bootsy collins sig which he designed? andy

[quote name='dwh87' post='776660' date='Mar 16 2010, 08:21 PM']Of course it will be overpriced If it was a reasonable price it would probably get one, it has me interested in getting a chrome tone. ive seen somewhere that it was gonna be around 2000 which isnt so bad? the same spec streamer i think is more?[/quote]

just saw this! amazing! but looks like warwick are gonna do there normal thing and price it so high i can't afford it! :-( might have to be a waiting game? then possibly a saving game! as it looks so awesome! andy

[quote name='Conan' post='776581' date='Mar 16 2010, 06:54 PM']Seb, the Ampeg will help your Rick sound like a Rick! It allows my Status to sound like a Status, and, as you might expect, the Cort sounds like itself! [/quote] really cool, ive always known ampegs to colour a bit? i like this tho! but tbh that could be what ive used with the cabs? also the not known for there highs came from my orange more than anything, it had some but not the same as say ah 212 or 410. andy

[quote name='faceman' post='776521' date='Mar 16 2010, 06:20 PM']Yeah I should have made it clearer. I'm looking for something smaller (as my my 4x10 is too big for the sort gigs I'm going at the moment) and with a different sound as my 4x10 is too ballsy, although that could be the fact it is Ashdown. I know they aren't known for their highs, more for lots of bass but how do they usually come across? I'd like to keep my Little Mark incase I have a gig where I need to jack up the volume and can borrow something from someone else! As long as I kept an eye on the master output, would it be alright? I was thinking how would the sound of the two go together?[/quote] got it man! ive played mine thru a 115 orange cab and it sounded cool, he markbass did actually bring some highs out of it. not played it thru an ampeg 15 so cant really help in that way but im guessing its gonna colour the sound a bit more so maybe lose a bit of the highs that i got with the orange? have you tried the ampeg 210av cabs im planning on using 2 of those and my lm2 for ah covers band that im joining? really light and small rig, but really punchy! andy

15's arent normally known for there high dude? just an idea why not get the ampeg combo? as for how the lm2 would work with the 15, i think your gonna be over powering the cab, the 15 is rated at 200w and the lm2 puts out 300w at 8 ohms? as you can see from my gear i have a lm2 also but i use it as a practice amp with an ampeg 210av, but thats fine and its rated the same as the 15 but i would like to put the master past 12o clock with it?. andy

im looking at getting a cross over so that i can use a guitar combo, and not have to worry about damaging it, thing is im thinking of still using one even if my dirty amp is a bass amp, to maybe try and stop the sound from being a bit much. im considering getting a second 210av cab and using my lm2 for the time being, im thinking if i only send it highs and mids, with distortion the 400/500w should be plenty to cut thru. what do people think of this would it do the job?

[quote name='4 Strings' post='770627' date='Mar 10 2010, 04:59 PM']The bi-amp idea is the best with a suitable cross-over.[/quote] cross over? andy

[quote name='27 frets' post='769616' date='Mar 9 2010, 07:42 PM']I've tried it in the past with an old Selmer valve combo, and the transformer actually burnt out before the speakers did - basses need a lot of power at the bottom end (most of the power is in the fundamental, not spread across the audio spectrum), so basses drive the amps and speakers harder than a guitar would to get the volume. If you're talking guitar combos, the cabinet design is also often wrong - open-backed or sealed, rather than tuned and ported like a proper bass cab, so yuou lose bottom end power/projection too. The high tec solution to using a guitar amp with bass is to use it as part of a bi-amped rig with a crossover, so you're only using it for the high frequencies, and then using a good bass amp+cab for the low end rumble.[/quote] yep thats what im doing, im not looking to play thru it on its own. gonna use it as a dity rig with my 610hlf and aguilar db750 providing my low end. andy

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='769600' date='Mar 9 2010, 07:31 PM']The sound of angry bluebottles is coming your way if you try it. Not long after,the amp will pack up . So, I say don't do it.[/quote] i get its a frequency thing but your telling me rob just uses it till it breaks! im sure they'd stop it if every week of the tour they had to buy a new dual rectifier! do they put something the way? i wouldnt be pushing the lows at all really. andy

im still getting my dual rig together but im thinking bout grabbing a combo amp to give some edge to my tone. ill put the my effects thru it, and then i can put more bass into my aggie 610hlf rig. but ive been told not to try this as i'll just be wasting money? and replacing speakers all the time but rob from metallica has mesa dual rec's in his bass rig? and also so does the girl from clatter! andy

[quote name='Conan' post='761650' date='Mar 2 2010, 11:17 AM']Exactly! Which is why you need to try them out yourself with your own bass, cables, amp etc! [/quote] Indeed this would be the answer its just a big pain! But may have to go for it Andy

[quote name='Musicman20' post='756642' date='Feb 24 2010, 11:35 PM']Id check the Aguilars....they are fantastic. I mean no disrespect to Ampeg but they are a step up...you will really notice the difference![/quote] how much of a difference is there? can't find any sound clips of a db750 being played thru an aggie cab apart from people randomly playing live, or a jazz guy noodling which would be wrong for me to judge the cab for my needs from. andy

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='756389' date='Feb 24 2010, 07:31 PM']The Neo range are slighty mid shy compared to thier proline cousins, bu I actually prefer that. The do a very good sold clean bottom end, but also handle a well tweeked EQ if you want to recreate your Ampeg clunk. I've used ALOT of cabs... And was an ampeg and Markbass player for quite some time. But EBS have taken the lead by a lon way for me these days... And they are spook light for the power they handle![/quote] really ill have a look into them them i think, the only problem i can see is that they'll be to much dinero! andy

hey i know the manual says that the poweramp out can be used to run another 750, but could i run another preamp of it? for my dirty rig? andy
