Excellent! - I haven't had sets through yet - I've been a bit busy elsewhere!

I have a set of Wilkinsons on my CIJ Precision (different shape to the BB300 so can't comment on fit) - they are very good quality with a smooth positive action. Yup, like 'em.

Taster Video number 2 is now out: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=PDXpw5hEbec&a=&feature=youtu.be&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPDXpw5hEbec%26feature%3Dyoutu.be%26a&gl=GB

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1360695334' post='1974925'] I think angled cabs are a great solution for small stages where the mix is 100% through FOH. GK make bass specific 'kick back' cabs and they're very good. But also very heavy. I've been trying to find a company who will make a lightweight version, for the last 6 years but with no success. So I'll eventually make one or two myself one day - based on the GK 1x15 but with lightweight ply and more bracing. Once my life has settled down and I have some garage space. [/quote] Kiwi, have you seen GreenBoy's Fearless F115 cabinet? It's not an active one, but it's a full range solution in a kickback sized box. I really like this idea. http://www.facebook.com/fEarfulbass?fref=ts There's also the F112 that features 12" speakers too:

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1360495482' post='1971118'] We always had Alesis ones, I think simply because they were pretty cheap and seemed to do the job OK [/quote] Ahhh yes!! If you can find one - and they are a bit rare these days, I use an Alesis DEQ 224 [url="http://www.computersunlimited.com/images_products/alesis_deq_224_equalizer_b16242.jpg"][/url] Though there are full length rack units too - programmable and sound superb. The 224 has been discontinued and can be picked up for no money at all considering how good it is. - Case in point, I sold mine on BassChat, then many years later managed to buy it back from the guy I sold it too!

Nothing yet, but here's hoping soon!

Ahhh, sadly not, but there's a similar spec bass in the gallery.

There might be a pic still on the Shuker site. I'll have a looksie!

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1360055211' post='1963979'] dood. You're reviews are some of the best out there, they show how it should be done. One in particular got me to part with just shy of £700. I just wish there was a bit more Bass stuff in iguitar. One thing I would ask for tho' is if maybe you could try another Bass along with the Shuker......just for a different flavour like. I'll shall deliver your shiny red apple later sir [/quote] Thank you! You're very kind! A point well made and I will see if we can shoe horn a second bass in to amp reviews. Good idea! i really appreciate the feedback!

P.S. don't forget, if you read the competition blog post, you can still get a price discounted copy if you are a BassChat member!

I laughed out loud when I saw your post asking as you'd already been selected - indeed, congratulations Sarah Thomas, a super book will be on it's way to you soon! Look out for more competitions on the BassChat Blog I will be posting in the future!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm - it's a tough one this but what a great thread - I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts! I'm going to be a bit naughty by suggesting a 'live' album! Queen - Live At Wembley '86 - I used to pour over the rather worn out Betamax video I had of this concert learning songs and 'jamming with Queen'. I learned so much from this one, being a huge Queen fan too. I can't wait for the rerelease of the DVD due in March!! Karnivool - Sound Awake - My playing style has changed a lot recently. I'd have taken my prog' ties from the usual tech (and metal) bands but I'm loving returning back to my more melodic side! Really enjoying this band too!

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' timestamp='1360178182' post='1966258'] Yeah- great cabs, just look a bit too modern for my old school self. Looks a bit naff in the photo but miles better in real life. Bit of vinyl covered wood frame and proper speaker cover. [/quote] Looks good to me! Hmmm, maybe a vintage looking Hartke model would be a cool edition to the Hartke line! - You should add a picture to Larry Hartke's facebook page!

I'll hopefully have some news soon, apologies it has been crazy busy these last cuppla weeks. I'm definitely trying them out on my own basses anyway, so absolute least I'll be able to review for you.

[quote name='thumperbob 2002' timestamp='1360083754' post='1964601'] [attachment=126869:IMG_1648.JPG] 4 X 10 Hartke Hydrive- honest!! [/quote] That looks cool, so you made a new front panel that sits on top of the original grill?

I've selected three: 4x10 stand alone, Two 4x10 (I selected 8x10) as a 'big rig'. 2x12 neo for smaller gigs.

Ha ha ha! Sarah! You might want to check your inbox!! Apologies, it has been very busy at Dood Towers that I was unable to make the announcement earlier in the week. However, I've just come on BassChat to let all know who the lucky winner is and saw this thread bumped!

[quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1360017366' post='1963736'] Yup...it bugs me too. Like Dood says, keep it simple so that you can hear the detail of the bass, amp, pedal etc... By all means, demonstrate the slap tone, but I don't want to hear 10mins of it. I saw a review of a Hagstrom semi-acoustic bass a while back that was slapped to death. Stop it! A - it sounded crap and B - most folks that would buy that bass would not use it for that! [/quote] Thank you! Yes, i demonstrate a few different styles and often play similar passages between different instruments in different issues in an attempt to make them comparable. Simple and clear is the way forward i think.

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1360015356' post='1963693'] Personally I think most video reviews of gear are pointless since you are hearing what ever it is though a sound system completely unlike that which it will be actually be used. Not quite as pointless as online reviews of TVs with pictures of the screen however ... [/quote] I've certainly always used a real bass amp, mic'd and DI'd for the reviews I talked about earlier as it is important to me to convey the sounds I am hearing in our studio. I agree it's not perfect, but we do our best to make it as real as possible.

Congrats guys!
