TC RH 450 loads about on here will cut through granite if you set it up right also loads of useful stuff like a built in tuner compressr and decent overdrive. Plus three sound memories plenty loud enough too. Then save fo some cabs. I plug mine into the studios old fender bxr combo for rehearsal and its sounds great. As for to many watts for your combo right now thats what the vol knob is for lol. It drives 4ohm fine

Had two sold two bit Marmite really i found everything i put through it sounded simular if you like the sound get one if you dont you wont get it sounding HiFi.

OK the deed is done after much playing and chatting and playing again came home with a Roscoe Century 5 plus. The Dingwall ca e very very close. But for my ears the Roscoe had a bit more punch and perfect balance. Ta ya,all

Thanks for all the advice most of which was very useful.... Re the great Warwick debate i seem to have kicked off its each to there own. For me the two i tried had a kinda chunky neck feel that my "fender trained" hand found a bit odd. But as people say a lot of players love them. I take the endorsement point which is why i ask you lot rather than reading the ad lines. I play mostly live with the occasional (very) studio session. 90% of what i do is without PA support pub and club so the bass tone is more of a factor than it is your stadium star. My memories (distant) of doing bigger stuff unless its your sound crew your bass pretty much ends up sounding how the FOH guy thinks it should. I am off to Bass Direct later to try some of the options will report back when my pockets have been blitzed. TTFN Stealth

Anybody played a 1025 & 2025 back to back ?

Roscoe i mean no more wine for me tonight !

Indeed Luke and it also means when it falls over in the Dog and Duck I dont need CPR of to look at that reggie

Must admit the Xotic appeals

Budget is £2k tops dont wanna spend that unless its something special. £1 to £1.5 works. More money for beer and crisps. Sad as it seems it needs to look a bit ROCK so spalt maple masterpieces and pale pastels are the list. The lakland idea works as i love my Bob Glaub which has nords installed.

Im narrowing it down at last So what do reccomend active / passive whatever. Needs to punch a hole in a mix like my 50th anniversary does. Wanna sell me it ?

Food for thought. I did like the 55-02 maybe i need to try one again like i said the Sei with EMGs was awesome but it just needed setting up too much. Status Stealth yes please who wants to sell me one. (headed only)

I need some words of wisdom ! My new band plays a fair amount of detuned heavier rock. Up to now if been getting by with Hipshot Detuners, But it time to bite the bullet an go for a five. It just bass and guitar so i need a big chunky sound but with definition. If i could morph my rick and jazz with an extra string i would be there lol. Past 5 strings that have come and gone: Lakland skyline 5502 B string was MUCH louder than anything else Dean Edge 5 Fretless nice neck dunno why i sold it really no good for this tho Sadowsky Metro MV5 bit polite and didnt get on with the neck Sei Jazz 5 34" ash J retro great bass low b wasnt great sold it cos i had 2 see below Sei Jazz 5 all black EMGs very rock but needed the truss rod adjusting all the time so got bored Needs to be rock solid in sound and build budget is £2k max the less i spend the more left over for beer ? Waddya reckon

Thanks for the replies. I would by the gibson if they werent so rare ! Sounds like i might have to rethink .......

You views on playability sound etc are they a viable gigging bass.
