I've ran a B3 and an MS-60B together the results are very good - there would be no problem with running two B3's together - just be careful, as you say - keep your levels in check. I think it'd make a great rig!

I'd replace the driver on the 4.5XL. It's a superior cabinet with better drivers.

Does anyone read Guitar Interactive Magazine?

I've been meaning to post a reply here! I have one sat on my desk at the moment. I've not had a chance to really play with it yet, but when I do, there will be a video in the offing. I'll try, as i did in the last BassChat review I did, to cover everything that the little chap can do!

[quote name='cliffyspliff' timestamp='1398071123' post='2429993'] It was the first gig I used the TC stuff last night and with the RS cabs it sounded great.... I had two markbass combos in the past ... Cmd102p ... And they both blew fuses at the kettle lead input ... A critical defect apparently ... Luckily they were under warranty .... Even with the NY extension cab ... I was never blown away by the sound ... It seemed to struggle in a loud environment I have been playing live recently using my IPad and the Bias and Jamup pro apps ... Which sound awesome ... So I got a TC Classic basically to use it's power amp section and it's light weight... So I just thought last night I'd give it a go on it's own to see how it stood up ... Very impressed [/quote] The Positive Grid Jam Up and BIAS apps are worthy of a mention alone. Simply the best Amp Sim apps for iPad/iPhone be a long margin! There's talk of a desktop app coming too. I can see how owners of certain expensive hardware are getting concerned. Absolutely brilliant.

I'm 6'3"

OP, I've experienced similar! I auditioned for a band who have played on the mainstage at Sonisphere more than once as well as world touring. I was very pleased as I made it down to the last two out of the hundred or so applications. I didn't get the job because, and I quote 'you're probably the better musician but the other guy just looked right.' I learned alot that day!

Ah shame I'm not nearer as I offer a gear advice service as part of my tuition page here on BC.

Definitely upgrade the valves the ElectroHarmonix and Groove Tubes are just Sovteks rebadged and the Rubys aren't bad, but some quality drive and noise tested valves will get you much better results as well as noise rejection, be it hiss or mains hum. A +1 for Derek at Watford Valves. I use the Harma Valves and the premium JJ for the 12AX7 and definitely Phillips Jan for the other position as in the above post.

I'd love to try one - I'm intrigued by their ability on paper having not heard one myself. My 7 string would like to test one out

You're gonna love this one then: I own a Gerald Veasley Signature 6 string from Ibanez. It has probably the closest string spacing on a production model bass. a sublime 14mm!! - I admit that in a moment of need I was about to sell it, but I have to say, I wanna hang on to it because that string spacing is great fun, very fast and makes chordal and solo work interesting. Yes! play it like an octave-down guitar! I don't care!! ha!

I've done the FuzzMo already

There will always be a next time!!

[quote name='RichValentine' timestamp='1393829047' post='2384663'] Bass is almost finished now. Jon is putting everything together over the next week or so so hopefully able to collect it soon. Have received some more pictures now the lacquer has been finished and it may be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! [/quote] Absolutely stunning!!! Wow!

[quote name='jenzuwin' timestamp='1393967124' post='2386468'] Christ that is a thing of beauty. I'm seriously considering ordering one. Has anyone got a lot of experience with Shuker that they'd like to share? [/quote] Feel free to drop me a line!

The magazine and all back issues are free to read - and to be honest with 1 million pages dedicated to guitarists, it'd be good to get some support from my bass bretherin!

This is useful information as I wouldn't mind an active cab that I can use a stage monitor for gigs that lack decent monitoring. (I wouldn't try to use it as back line though!!)

I've reviewed the Nexus tube in iGuitarMag.com it's made in britain and actually sounds fab through Laney's 'big cabs'. Can't remember what issue it was, but despite weighing a ton, the rig delivered. Oh and as for the controls, they're actually dead simple to understand

Oh, sorry I'm not down in Pompey though.

Yep, a Shuker 7 string I designed with Jon Shuker. I'll post a pic. It's also tuned down to F#.
