Just bought a john east preamp from Dave....great comms ,very well packaged and just as described.....top chap to boot! thanks Dave

I have the genz benz neox 212 cab, tolex version with the faital-pro drivers....odd looking cab, but only 47lbs in weight, very well built(had a driver out as had to replace tweeter fuse) all plywood and well braced....and the cab sounds really good.

I use the trace elliot smx dual band compressor....18 volt high headroom and sounds the dogs danglies...eg, doesn't squash the life out of the tone......unfortunately not made anymore so you would have to find a used example.

cheers for that, got it sorted thanks

Does any kind person have the bass part for this?? Cheers

this is one of my pet hates...unacceptable on a modern bass with cnc this and lazer alignment that....some of the lakland basses suffered from this, and that includes the usa models.

anyone else want to chime in....ps, don't want a dfa switch (haha)

Cheers for the comments folks

Well, i have now got the bass playing well!...after a re-cut nut, fret dress and truss-rod adjustment but i have to say, i am not keen on the tone of the pre. with the bass having aguilar super doubles, the obvious route would be the OBP 3 but i would be up for other suggestions....keeping in mind, 5 pots and 2 mini switches.

I also had the passive shark 5 string, very well made and having the graphite rods in the neck, very stable and kept it's tune really well.

Thanks for the comments guys, sounds like a good purchase to me....just for info, cab is a genzbenz NX2 212. which i am very happy with.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these and just wondered what you think of them?.....i like the updated 9 band graphic!!....would you say the 600 watts are loud and hefty watts, I have used a markbass little mark 2 for some years now, but fancy a change, plus the ashdown looks far more rock and roll than the LM2 haha cheers folks

Looks like a step back to me....poorer quality non string through bridge, lost the trussrod wheel adjustment (having said that, some apparently seized/snapped so maybe no bad thing.....not my bag!.....not at that price anyway.

yes, mine is 9.2lbs in weight.....all seem to be 9-9.5 lbs.... it had a less than stella set-up when i bought it...way too much neck relief and the strings could be better. Had to send the first one back as one of the neck screws had splintered through to the front of the bass!!!... Anyways, had the bass setup by twincam of this very forum....the nut needed work, as the B and G string slots were too high, also needed a fret level and polish....now the bass plays very nicely!!....

Had one of these back in the day....superb sound but boy was it heavy.

love the new lighter weight stingrays, however, listening to the clips/reviews on youtube i much prefer the tone of the old models there seems more definition in the lower end and sound crisper all round...all subjective though....one mans meat and all that!! sorry, one person's meat.

Sold my Lakland DJ5 to Alain and have to say, it was a pleasure...very good Comms and a top chap all round.. thoroughly recommended
