On this amount of info, go for something like an Orange Bass Terror head and a cab of your choice? Not too much money but it has numerous fans.

I was very tempted to set Off Topic to invisible for a few hours.................

Markbass Tube 800 - 500w @ 8Ω and 800w @ 4Ω, also the Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 and the Bass Terror as above

I miss my Sub4 that I sold on - brilliant bass and just soooooooo playable. I'd love another.

Small, loud'ish if required as a back up amp with DI out and headphones out which is important. Some amp modelling as well if that's your thing.[/quote] Another +1. Brilliant little amp, it's only a 12" cube and therefore almost unnoticeable in any room.

[quote name='Chopthebass' post='755249' date='Feb 23 2010, 05:40 PM']Looking at the specs on their website I think I will get a 410XST for sure, but I’m not sure which second cab to get.[/quote] Personally, I'd get a second 410XST to compliment the other one.

If you have reasonable gear and playing technique then imho all you need is someone experienced to help you EQ your amp to where you play - having a good ear to adjust the EQ to suit the playing environment is really more than half the battle.

I think that was recorded when he was using TRB's, although with it being a music video, and the wonders you can perform with sound shaping software through a mixing desk in a studio he could have been thumping a Sinclair C5 with a fistfull of rotting herrings - I cite any "Girl's Aloud" CD for less than perfect examples of this mixing desk sorcery.

I don't know the bass but I would think any half decent luthier would be able to extract the damaged nut and supply/setup with a suitable replacement. Have you had a squiz here? - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26654"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26654[/url]

Someone has already done that experiment and found it really works - [url="http://www.talkbass.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/1568/cat/500"]http://www.talkbass.com/reviews/showproduc...ct/1568/cat/500[/url] [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=thumpinator"]http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=thumpinator[/url] You might also get a little Basschat discount as SilentFly posts in the affiliates forum

[quote name='Shaggy' post='774706' date='Mar 14 2010, 09:26 PM']Band want to try it this week, can't find a tab on the usual sites, and haven't got the time to transcribe as Mrs Shaggy had me chained to the hammer drill all weekend doing long overdue DIY. Any help appreciated! [/quote] Will this do for you - not sure I've put it in the right key? or indeed the right notes in the right order, but I think it's close enough [attachment=44810:Bad_Medicine.pdf]

If he accepts an offer of £1200, add £50 for the shipping and including import duty and VAT it will cost you around £1525 on your doormat

Having just been asked if I could do some lead vocals in a band that's coming together - I'm feeling a little inadequate now!

As has been said, nobody usually notices the bass player unless they're on fire!

The choice of valve can effect the sound, and so you can choose what you want. A Sovtek 12AX7WB is warmer with more gain, while a JJ ECC83S has less gain but a bit more sparkle and imho colours the sound less. I tried both of these in an Eden head as preamp valves and that's what my ears heard.

The speakers have to be carefully matched to the cab for them to work properly (which Ashdown probably didn't bother doing when they designed & built it with the speakers they put in it) Just putting in a pair of Deltalights was, imho a waste of money as the chances of them being matched to the cab dimensions are minimal. Alex might go into this in a bit more detail, but that's basically it.
