Unfortunately, I have just been told that this appeared on Youtube....from 1985 if memory serves me right!!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBmiltpn3qM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBmiltpn3qM[/url]

Welcome and don't let the 6 strings go either...

Hi there and welcome

I would highly recommend Bergantino cabs - I sold my Epifani UL210's and EA CXL112 cabs after I purchased my Berg HT112ER/EX112ER cabs. I tried the AE112 cabs but I would recommend you try the HT/EX combination before buying. The HT/EX combination is heavier but still very easy to carry and (IMHO) much better - more refined with the best/sweetest treble of any bass cab I have owned/tried.

Hi and welcome

I will get some pictures taken over the weekend - too busy playing her at the moment. The colour is a great off white making it look very vintage. This is a seriously good instrument - sound, playability. I have some very nice basses and this is right up there with the best of them. If there is one word that sums this bass up - resonant. It has that same resonance that my '62 P Bass has - you feel the bass vibrate. If this is the result of the aging process it would be a loss if they made a version without it.

It's arrived. Wow.....got to go back to playing her, talk about it later.

Welcome - hope you get connected soon

The reason why I have decided that custom made instruments are not for me. I ordered a Zoot once and regretted it on arrival, although much to do with my experience with the builder, but the bass just didn't click with me.

Hi and welcome

Loving them Wal's

Noooooooooooooo..I wasted 30 seconds of my life on this

Got a weekend off with no gigs...feels strange

You'd be better off saving up another 100 or so and getting a second hand US Jazz

Old but 'right' - welcome

Don't get wrapped up in the tone issue that is rife in this forum. It's a bass, end of. What ever you feel comfortable with will be brill.[/quote] It's llama time.....

[quote name='Musicman20' post='780893' date='Mar 20 2010, 04:22 PM']Anyone nailed the perfect P Bass w/flats thump (nice old funk setting) with the RH yet?[/quote] My first setting above sounds great with my '62 P Bass with the tone wound fully anti-clockwise and the bridge cover on (the mutes still intact)

[quote name='gillento' post='780454' date='Mar 20 2010, 07:35 AM']I decided to part with mine after a brief stunt (2 gigs, 1 rehearsal) as I prefer the cleaner sound of my MarkBass SA450 to the TC. As for tube sounds I am still using my big, heavy all tube SA200 [/quote] That was quick. I have to say it takes a little of work to get the best from the TC 450. I really like my MB's but I'm really warming to the TC head and I couldn't face up to the weight of a decent valve head anymore.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='766665' date='Mar 7 2010, 08:26 AM']Give us an idea of your settings Alan. How's the CS btw [/quote] My favourite two settings are: 1. Gain around 10 O'Clock: Flat e.q.: Tubetone up around 10 O'Clock: Compressor up around 9 O'Clock 2. Gain around 12 O'clock: Bass three clicks right; lower bass two clicks right/with shift on - three clickg to the left; Mid Flat; Treble two clicks to the right; Tube tome off; Compressor around 11 O'clock
