Or even a Groove, which was Status' take on Stingray(though that one come with a wood neck).[/quote] yeh i have considered that but they all seem to be just as expensive as my current bass, i really like zons but they are like 2 grand! andy

played a gig with this for the first time! was awesome had to do a bit of adjustment due to where we were playing but only got good comments on my bass tone, sat really nice in the mix, even when i turned on my metal muff distortion for our last song! and just found out that my band gets to spend a day in a studio, its to help out a friend whos doing a course there. we going to do two tracks complete in a day! will be quite hectic me thinks! but ill be posting the recordings up once they done so you can hear what my rig sounds like. andy

hi guys im looking for a good secong bass that i can get for around 350-500 quid. im looking to backup my modulus fb4, so something that can come close to that would be wicked( but thats a long shot) ive played a few fenders and they were really nice but they were all like a grand! ive looked into fernandes gravity bass trying to find a 4er secondhand, im unsure bout the squiers as ive played a few and been unimpressed, olp mm copies were a big let down as i dn't want to have to mod the bass to much to make it a good sounding bass. the most ill do straight away is probs get a badass 2 bridge put on it, and some dunlop Trujillo sig strings on it. any suggestions? ideally it be nice if it was active. andy

deal mate! as long as you can deal with how heavy they are! plus can afford future retubing i'd say go for it! they are a wicked amp! andy

[quote name='Stag' post='497413' date='May 25 2009, 05:55 PM']Well... after seeing that... and doing a bit of price research... I got my own, for even less than what was paid above, and mine is one of the last USA ones, which was a nice added bonus (not that im knockin's the Vietnam ones at all). The chaps at the shop even gave me a Speakon connector FOC as well. Top guys, who also fashioned a protective cardboard cover out of other boxes with a stanley knife for me to take it home in. It is awesome. As mentioned above - menacing. Its set up downstairs at the moment and hasnt been moved because i just like looking at it. Fearsome power as well - im not using it above 0.5 volume on the amp (B2RE) and its shaking the floorboards. With my Ric and a pick you can nail that Ric/Ampeg tone in seconds. I am so proud of it that I had to take a piccie of it and my basses. Sadly I am in the picture as well, but hey, you`ll get over that I hope. [attachment=25916:gear1024.jpg][/quote] nice mate im so happy with mine!

[quote name='SteveO' post='494751' date='May 21 2009, 10:57 PM']I always thought the 810 looks overkill. That's nice. Menacing but in a civilised way. however I'd keep it away from the cat post. you don't want the little blighter getting any ideas...[/quote] its been moved now, was there for a day and they were to scared to go near it! yeh its more refined than a 810, and more compact ( well kinda) than a 410/115 setup. it just fits my bands sound to a t! andy

my rig at practice room, sounds so wicked!! really pleased, i know a few people dnt rate ampeg but its just the tone im after! plus it looks awesome! andy

dropped it to our drummers house today, with the head on top it looked really imposing! :-), didnt have time to plug it in and have a blast :-( roll on thurs! andy

[quote name='skankdelvar' post='489808' date='May 16 2009, 01:50 PM']That cab just exudes menace... Nice work, Sir.[/quote] i does im so happy i saved up

[quote name='Stag' post='489959' date='May 16 2009, 05:19 PM']Of course I would love an 8x10 but I am a weed and cannot lift that kind of behemoth, or fit it in the car. But if it solved your GAS for the big bad 8x10 .... can only be a good thing (for your back) ;-)[/quote] indeed the 610 is surprisingly easy to move round, plus i like that its not really the norm, ie an 810 or 410/115. and if i haven't mentioned its loud as hell! the only gas i have now is for the 2395 quid zon that i played while trying it out!

[quote name='Stag' post='489902' date='May 16 2009, 04:24 PM']i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one i want one. ahem. Good purchase sir[/quote] you wnt regret, its cured my gas for a 810 ! although i did try a zon while i was up there that was a mistake!!!! it was awesome! andy

[quote name='steve-soar' post='489894' date='May 16 2009, 04:03 PM']That just looks so right. Good work Sir. Get a good cover for her to keep her looking sweet. What does it sound like with the head?[/quote] tried it with a pro 3 in the shop and it sounds sweet, ill be putting my head thru it on thurs, but mines a pro-6 which i prefer the tone so im sure it will be awesome!!!!! yeh ive asked a company if they make me one, the made my 115 orange cab cover and i was wicked they get back to me monday, anyone know what the ampeg ones look like? there shops down atm. andy
