    So when is the Geordie Bass Bash going to happen then? We could all meet up at Haltwhistle and sell raffle tickets to win DW's Peugeot 'wardrobe/cupboard' that is cluttering up his workshop :)[/quote]

    About time we had another one !!

    If you can find one the Aguilar DB680 728 pre / power offers 400W All Valve tone and will seriously knock down walls, I used this set up with a pair of Aguilar GS410's - see avatar

    One Awesome set up - I believe Boss Hogg had the same set up prior to his DB750 era

    Phil Jones Suitcase & Cab

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I used the Phil Jones rig last night at my rehearsal, really impressed with the overall tone. In the context of a small rehearsal room in close proximity to a loud drummer and a marshall TSL 2x12 combo and all sorts of noise bleeding into the vocal mic's I was struggling a bit for volume, it's not the rig to punch a hole through a busy mix.

    Tonally loads of bottom end.... I have no idea how it goes so low and moves as much air for 8 x 5' speakers, what was lacking was some mid bite, maybe it's not in the amp to deliver it, maybe it's to do with the room acoustics / mix

    Overall though...... really happy with the amp

    Phil Jones Suitcase & Cab

    in Amps and Cabs

    Guys,

    I just got a Phil Jones Suitcase & Extension cab today !

    In the last couple of years i've owned the following rigs

    SWR SM900 Goliath III & Son of Bertha

    Eden WT800 2 x 410XLT's

    EBS TD650 2 x Neo 212's

    Ampeg SVT Classic & 8 x10

    Ashdown Evo 900 ABM 410 ABM 15

    Aguilar DB680 & 728 2 x GS410's

    Mark Bass SA450 std 410 & 15

    I have to say I don't impress easily with bass amplification and as i'm no longer doing any "big gigs" I was looking for something compact but with good fidelity.

    This Phil jones stuff is fab !!

    Loads of low end extension, good weight to the note but so tight and articulate.

    Mids are so open and transparent top end sizzles like miller's tone ! and without a horn !!

    There is so much presence to the bass it feels like you could reach out and touch the note !

    Slap sounds amazing, those little 5' drivers are so fast with real thump and attack...

    It's also got loads more volume than you'd ever expect from something this size, it's genuinely gigable !

    Very Very impressive indeed - I think this will be the last rig I ever need or buy.

    got a rehearsal with it on Monday with a RHCP Tribute (i'm just filling in for their regular bass player) ...... i'll let you know how it does in the real world

    Cheers

    Would a guitar cab work with a bass head?

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    Bass Drivers and Guitar Drivers are constructed differently due to the nature of their respective jobs !

    Usually the voice coils and cone materials are much more robust

    Guitar Cabs are usually built handle no more than 100W where as bass cabs can often handle many hundreds of watts

    It's quite likely you'll blow the guitar cab's drivers if you play at any kind of volume

    Howards Shop has been a meeting/focal point for bass players in the North East for years.

    Always up for a deal and loved working on Fenders, he's done work for me in the past and charged only for the parts, saying it was a pleasure to just work on the instruments.......

    ..... Top bloke !

    There were very few visits I ever made to Newcastle without dropping in to Howie's

    [quote name='3V17C' post='129801' date='Jan 29 2008, 09:38 AM']hmm.. yeah i can kinda relate to that - must admit i'm now thinking about selling everything and just going to one main bass, one spare and a nice simple rig. many basses do not equal happiness!!

    anyways, think hard before you do sell as thats quite some stash of basses you have there - i'm particularly liking that thru neck, single pup streamer in the middle there..... hmmmmm.......



    peace

    I'm in that place too...... down to just 1 main bass and really happy with it !

    Just need a rig and i'm away !! (again)
