    Gigging with a cheap bass

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have a good few basses, but at the moment I gig a Squier P I bought for £10. A guy was going to throw it away and it was pretty beaten up when I got it but after a bit of TLC it looks and plays great.

    Im currently tuned to drop F♯ with a set of .175 - .85's and it sounds incredible though my rig.

    This is an outrageous price! I borrowed a friend's ABM900EVO3 and one of these cabs for a few gigs when my rig was elsewhere and it was probably the best tone I've ever had on stage. Utter beast, so much weight and clarity to everything I played. Have a bump on me!

    Cheers! I would have kept it if I had the space for another huge rig.

    Up for sale is my recently purchased Ashdowm ABM 810. Bought this from Chenzman about 2 weeks ago but have since gotten another full rig and no longer need this. Haven't even plugged it in !

    Cab is a bit scruffy - grill is dented from touring and tolex has a few tears but works well with no speaker damage.

    I'll sell it for the exact price I paid (which is a total steal for such a fantastic cab)

    £180 collected from Central London

    Here is the link to the Chenzman's original ad with pictures, hope you don't mind, dude:

    The only place I've seen one in the last couple of years was PMT in Manchester, it was also one of the blue ones. Gorgeous in every way!! Give them a call? :)

    I saw a few last time I was at Guitar Guitar in Epsom.

    Loud cabs to match Genz Benz Streamliner 900

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Great suggestions here.

    Shep's review has pretty much sold me on the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Big Twin T[/font][/color]. I play a lot of small venues, sometimes without a p.a. and need to be able to shake the walls!

    Damn these are expensive, though! (the one on here is around £750) Have these ever seen the £500 mark used or would it be crazy to wait for one at that price?

    Loud cabs to match Genz Benz Streamliner 900

    Like a lot of you, I love the Streamliner's tone. My only problem is that I need to get more volume (as much as possible) and low end out of my rig for a new noise rock/metal project (It's been going through two well worn Peavey 115 BW cabs for the last few months).

    Which cabs would you recommend I look at to get the most out of this amp on a budget?

    Currently looking at second hand cabs, around £300-£500. I'd been pointed in the direction of an [url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifiers-effects/ashdown-neo-810-8x10-bass-speaker-cabinet"]Ashdown NEO 810[/url] which go for around £450 used (theres one for sale on [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/240352-ashdown-neo-810-bass-cab-ex-biffy-clyro-and-lilly-allen/page__p__2526243__hl__ashdown%20neo__fromsearch__1#entry2526243"]here[/url]) but an amp tech I spoke to through here told me I would lose a lot of the bottom end going down that route.

    Any suggestions for loud, affordable cabs to match this brilliant head?

    Can anyone vouch for a good Octave VST?

    Distortion-wise I'm loving TSE B.O.D. (free) and Mokafix Baboon (not free)

    Fuzzrocious Rat King (Kid Paint) SOLD

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by MonkeyTrick

    [b]SOLD[/b]

    After a few months of use I've decided the Rat King is just not for me, so I'm putting it up for trade. It's the model with the [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]second distortion, momentary feedback loop, diode clipping switch and diode blend.[/font][/color]

    A great pedal but doesn't quite have the clarity or punch I'm looking for - maybe some of part the issue lies elsewhere in my setup, but I fancy a change anyway. I want something crunchy and dirty, but with a bit more clarity maybe a Tash or Demon ?

    Willing to try a few things out this time around.

    Cheers!
