I know I liked the svt 410he cabs, I've had the 610hlf which I liked and the 410hlf which I found too boomy but only experienced mag cans which I wasn't blown away by.

Hi guys, I've got my new head sorted. Now I'm in a dilemma with cabs, I'm going to be playing in a foo fighters tribute band. Head wise I'll be using an Aguilar th500 which will be out of sight. I tried it through a svt410he cab, however second hand these can go for £300. I saw on gak they are doing abm 410h cabs for £341 each if you buy 2 or more. I planned on getting two anyway. Since then a thought has crossed my mine to possibly either get 2 1x15 cabs instead or possibly a Ashdown rm 6x10. Because of what the foo fighters bassist has used in the past I want to be faithful to it within reason. Any comments or advice? Thanks

It is indeed

Hi Muppet, that would be brilliant!! Where are you based?

Ah fair enough, don't get me wrong it was a lovely playing and sounding thing just wasn't sure about the price tag.

Thanks for the info guy, it's the one on the bass direct site with all the detailed pics.

Hi Chiliwailer, Logo and neck is original, did see a tiny piece of laquer wear on fretboard under E - String (Rosewood board) so not sure if they were laquered in this period? Necks dated, no date on pickup so not sure if original? Pickguard, bridge and tuners are original? Asking price is £2500

Thanks for the help guys, bought a Aguilar Th500 and possibly buy a pair of Svt410he cabs and it sounded great through one.

Just seen and played a 1966 Fender Precision Bass which I liked however its not completely original. Its been refinished which is a great job and re-reliced but the pots, knobs and wiring have been replaced. It does however have the original ashtray covers and hardcase. How much should one pay for these and what else should I look out for? Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guys, Bass direct was great and the guys were excellent and very helpful. I'm now a proud owner of a Aguilar TH500

Cheers, now en route to Bass direct.

Thanks The Greek, the only Bass I'm after is a Nate Mendel signature. I'm more after a selection. Of Bass heads and cabs I can try out in different combinations

Hi guys, are there any good Bass/bass amplification shops near Stamford that I can go and try gear out at on Saturday? Thanks muchly

Would a orange Bass terror be suitable? Going to try a tone hammer and pf800 this weekend

I've been asked to join a foo fighters tribute band after passing the audition. Currently I don't have a rig...easy I hear you say, buy an ashdown as that's what Nate Mendel uses...however I don't find they compliment my playing or sound. So can anyone suggest an alternative head I can try to achieve that foos sound/tone? Cab wise I'm looking at trying ashdown, its just the heads I can't get on with.

Great news so far, I passes the audition and have been asked to join which is awesome! Just waiting on the Job promotion front...

Fingers crossed for you, in regards to the job you want 😊

Currently waiting to hear back from an audition and also a job interview I attended this month. I feel like a kid on Christmas day but before opening the presents filled with apprehension and excitement not knowing. If all goes well this could be a great start to the year. Anyone else in the same circumstances?

Bloody good fun to play though, sometimes the best bass lines are subtle :-)

Hi guys I'm after a new rig, I'm considering either the Bugera BVP5000 (Svt 3) clone or the Markbass lm250 head. I'll be looking to run it through 2 Ashdown 1x15 cabs. Soundwise I'm after a foo fighters esq sound, I would go for an Ashdown head but find they don't work for me very well or compliment my style. Thanks in advance.

Ok cool, I'm based in Stamford so Leicester isn't miles away and is very much doable. What do you guys need to know?

Where do you guys meet to rehearse?

Whereabouts in the Midlands?

For me it'd have to be: Karl Alvarez (The Descendants/All) Scot Shiflet (Face to Face) Matt Riddle (No use for a name) Bruce Foxton (The Jam) Jason Black (Hot Water Music) Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio)
