Oh er missus

Well, I have a DeTemple Spirit '56 Strat which I ordered back in 2002 and, without question, it is the finest guitar I own; a better guitar than my original '56 Tele. So, I have been contemplating this since he first announced it a few years back: [url="http://www.detempleguitars.com/temp/CATALOG_ITEMS/DeTemple_P55_over.php"]http://www.detempleg...le_P55_over.php[/url] It's gonna be over $7k, which is a lot of money, but if it is anything like the strat he made me it will be oh so worth it. Think I will drop him an e-mail.

The Peavey classic series is very much Fender territory but with a little more 'Chime'. More a souped up Princeton rather than the higher gain Deluxe sound that the Fender Blues Junior attempts to emulate

[quote name='Wil' timestamp='1326282159' post='1494806'] The Peavey Classic 30 looks like a good bet - well priced, sounds decent, good size. Looks pretty cool too! I've been watching a few amp demos on youtube and it hasn't really helped - my favourite tones so far have been produced by the Vox AC30, and those are a few hundred over my budget at least even used. [/quote] They are real nice amps for the money

I have (and have had) many compressors and the best one I have used for bass is the DBX160A. It is very natural sounding and easy to dial in as well. For pedals I like the EBS in tri-band mode. I also have a Markbass TA501 with a one knob built in valve compressor and this is really nice.

Any more reviews? Wouldn't mind knowing whether they last longer than previously before the 'snap' is gone

[quote name='mybass' timestamp='1330514401' post='1558552'] Seems safest then to wire direct from the output jack/neutrik socket straight to the 2x10 speakers leaving the tweeter/crossover out of it, just like the old cabs used to be. [/quote] I had a Markbass combo with the tweeter which I thought was too spitty and did just this - bypass the cross over and connect direct to the speakers. Sounded a lot better - the cables on Markbass gear are not soldered so easy to switch the wires and easily reversable

Fur, that's the way to go
