    This is a particularly annoying example I found recently;

    SPB-3 Quarter Pound for P-Bass: [media]http://youtu.be/XHUySLAjp0g[/media]
    [/quote]

    That one in particular does my nut. I was trying to suss out whether to buy a bass with QP's as they're 'made' for the type of music I play (punk, rock, indie etc.) - I don't get ANY idea of how they really sound from that video.

    Again, this is what I want to hear! Also the size, weight and cost are very favourable... and it looks cool, too... dammit! :)

    I'm in Anerley these days Mark - you're more than welcome to pop over and have a blast through my 40 (not quite the same, I know) to get a feel for the different preamp voicings/tones available.

    There is some presumption that they are based largely on the Genz Benz amps, anyone looked inside any? I liked the Contour amps which I'd guess these are the same as but in a new box.

    Fender acquired GB, GB disappears from the market, Fender releases new lightweight range of amps. It's an easy conclusion to draw, but I can't say I'm an expert, nor have I cracked open my amp to have a look!

    I'm guessing I could always plug in my Markbass extension cab if more volume was required?

    Definitely for your bigger gigs. I believe the 500 bizarrely operates at 350watts at 8 Ohms, so you need an extension cab to get all the juice out of it.

    As an aside, I love the Rumble amps. I bought one of the previous gen 15's after two similarly priced Ampegs crapped out on me, and then upgraded to the new Rumble 40 (lighter, XLR out, 3 preamp voices, 4-band EQ, and built in overdrive) which I see no need to upgrade. It's a cracking amp.

    I hate my Fender!

    It did indeed, at the Herts Bass Bash, and it wasn`t a close call - it won by miles.

    That's my bass! There was some stiff competition too!

    It`s not too heavy Dave, but not a lightweight either. I`ve not got any scales but in comparison to my 2008 Precision, which I know is about 8.8lbs, it feels a bit heavier so I`d put it at 9.3lbs at a guess.

    So somewhere between your '08 and your '78?

    I fitted the Stinger preamp yesterday and it's transformed the bass, in fact I've put my amp levels back and it's very articulate too, I'm glad I did it.

    Nice work. How was the fitting of it? Easy enough to do?
