several hours for me too

I've gone from several pedals (octaves, chorus, big muffs) to just an Empress bass comp and tuner. I love the empress compressor, it adds a little bit of harmonic distortion. Its subtle, but it makes the bass sit better in a mix. I do think a tiny bit of drive is essential

Question. How are people measuring whether an amp is coloured or not? Are you using your ears and comparing against a DI signal, or are you looking at response plots?

Quite the claim. I think you should tell us what band you are in. I'd be keen to see the best sounding band ever

In terms of Aesthetics, Id say tc bh 800 would look pretty nice. I had one for a short while and it was pretty decent. Which was a surprise because I had a similar tc bq head and that was garbage. Theres one in the classifieds at the moment too. I think for uncoloured the Aguilar AG might be better than the TH. Eich, Quilter, Genzler all have good reputations.

I loved the HA5500 - such a good amp and bulletproof

I purchased a Markbass cab from Steve. Good comms, easy to deal with. looking forward to putting the cab through its paces. Thanks Alex

Happy with vvt loom. Easy to fit and sounds great. Thanks

I might be a bit out of order here, but I wish they would get someone that could play on their videos. I know he's not trying to show off his chops and thats not the point, but I find his playing pretty hard to watch.

I have the Genz Benz NX 2x12 and they blow the BF210/410 (Ive owned these) away imo - they are in a different league. That said, I would presume they NX range are more similar to the BF12 range (which ive never used) - so maybe not a fair comparison. I picked mine up for £350 2nd hand which is so much cheaper than equivalent BF. I think it would work in any band situation
