IF anyone is interested in an overview of what various effects are and how they work, check out my monthly columns in Bass Guitar Magazine / Bass Player Magazine since January!

Looks like my 76 (Mine is an early 76 with the nickel tuning keys)

The GS112 cabinet is superb but it has a really scooped sound, thus you may find the magic P bass mids in it's brother the DB112 or similar.

Attitude + Aptitude = Altitude Nathan East. I like this one a lot.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As above, I can't think of a solid state offering off the top of my head that must have a cabinet connected. I use my Berg' B|Amp as a pre and it sounds glorious!

Same, Gregor's videos are engaging and entertaining.. oh and Frank Itt appearing? Yeah that's pretty cool too!

Addicted to Bass by Puretone... errrr, because of course it was all about bass players...

Look up The Princes Trust Concert, 1988, same band and lots of lovely Karnal Knowledge. Oh and check out John Deacon playing Mick’s bass with Joe Cocker!

A respected member of the BassChat community, Andy has just purchased my EBS amp - a super smooth and pleasant transaction peppered with the usual bass gear chat Always good

Heads only, in no particular order (because you can't compare them to each other), Bergantino B|Amp, EBS 802, Ampeg SVT 2, EA iAmp Classic, Marshall DBS 7400. The Berg' is my absolute number 1 though, it is a superb sounding piece of kit. I've decided to add some worthy contenders: Reidmar 750 is excellent, as is Genzler's Magellan 800. Also the GR Bass Dual 800, that is a beast of an amp.

Hey, it's all cool! I hope it didn't sound like I was nit-picking or anything! Great post actually, lots of super useful info' and I agree, the EBS heads are very good indeed. The EBS Classic (II) Preamplifier was the first EBS piece of kit that had me hooked, a seriously good rack unit.

The TD650 was in my all time top 5(-ish) amplifiers for many, many years - 20 or more, only to be recently replaced by the 802.

I've just edited your post slightly. 1. I am not sure if Ashdown use a LPF on any of their heads. 2. the HD360 and TD660 heads had their LPF's lowered slightly and the EQ centres changed. 3. the bass control on the EBS is still shelving, so despite being centred at 100hz (for the TD650 I think?) you're still getting boost far below that too.

I'd agree with the Honk positioning. Chest Thump I'd say was actually a higher frequency.Punch is in the right range though, that's good. Interestingly Heft is in the Bottom and lower end of Boom range.

I've got one that I've been meaning to install in a 2 band EQ bass. I have tested it without being fitted in the cavity and have to say it was really impressive. (The bass in question does not feature East electronics and it behaved very well).

Good question! Sadly the catalogue links I had were all in Japanese so I am not sure, but in my mind I think there were 32" offerings - EDIT, the PJM65 was a medium scale and the PJR65 was a 34" scale - so, although not the same model as the one above, yes, it seems shorter scale models were available.

Yeah I remember these too. As above, same period as the Jazz Bass Special. I think I have some ole Japan catalogues somewhere (that I am sure are online too) that have these in.

EBS have been so kind, they've shared a few of my EBS reviews on their website; quotes and the like.

John East's Uni-Pre offers extensive frequency selection too, anther great suggestion.

Listen to the beginning of "Got The Time" by Anthrax. By using a lil drive, Frank's bass tone doesn't just growl, it tears your face off

Absolutely - in general slightly more mids with be perceived as the pickup is brought closer to the strings. Round wound strings are a thumbs up from me too.
