  1. Not any experience of the 500 but love my LMT 800...very versatile in sound, i'd go for the 800W as you still get 500W if using an 8ohm cab...350W from the 500 amp may be a struggle for larger gigs if you want headroom.
  2. My functions band is getting £150 each (x7)..and as i said previously, a meal and free bar too...seems reasonable...although its bloody cold on Dartmoor at the moment so most importantly I do hope they have heating in the marquee.
  3. [quote name='Bassnut62' timestamp='1419973100' post='2644553'] bass is using MuTron and Octave....sounds spot on. I guess any envolope filter combined with a smooth octaver would sound pretty close [/quote] Cool, cheers for that...i've got a Zoom B3 so i'm hopeful i can get something out of that
  4. [quote name='gapiro' timestamp='1419967656' post='2644469'] Let us know how Uptown funk goes - its on our setlist for next gig. Still having fun trying to get a perfect sound for the bass. [/quote] We're considering this...what effect you using on the bass...if any ?
  5. I shall be with my functions band 'Jessica & The Rabbits' playing in a marquee outside a nice rural pub out towards Dartmoor, Devon. Goodish pay, any meal of their menu for the band at the start of the night (steaks all round) and free bar for the band...quite looking forward to it.

  6. Coincidentally I've been listening to 'Arboresence' today 😀

  8. [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1419541263' post='2640814'] If you can find one, try a limelight! [/quote] I use my Limelight P in my soul band, sounds great although i did swap out he pick up for a Wizard trad. Great basses those limelights and certainly look the part
  9. Any member names we should be wary of ?
  10. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1419366326' post='2639269'] That would look amazing, especially if you fitted a parchment or mint pickguard to go with it. [/quote] Agreed...i'd leave out the tort this time round x
  11. [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1419365873' post='2639261'] Are you sure about the Stinger? The website still looks active (with a note about Christmas shutdown) [url="http://www.probass.co.uk/StingerEQ.html"]http://www.probass.c.../StingerEQ.html[/url] [/quote] Ah thanks for that, I only followed an eBay link
  12. I've made a purchase (Thomann) !!!! surprisingly I've opted for the trans red as there is a big red theme in one of the bands i play in...plus my 5yr old told me red It has a rosewood neck so i'd swap it out for a maple if anyone feels that way inclined. Will update when it arrives....in the mean time i want a decent preamp for it, I see the retrovibe Stingers are no longer for sale...any pointers ?
  13. Couple of good trades on offer but keep them coming, will probably make my mind up by Monday
  14. [quote name='bigash' timestamp='1418965665' post='2635268'] Hi, i have a G.B. Streamliner 900 available if you are interested. [/quote] Have Pm'd you
  15. Bumparooo
  16. I'm finding both my Markbass Amp and Carvin are quite similar sounding and i've been considering selling one as i have a Genz Combo too. I love them all but i enjoy the filters on the Markbass that the Carvin doesn't have, however the Carvin does have parametric eq and a whole host of other great attributes. I'm not too bothered really if this doesn't trade as I'm very happy to keep and I may change my mind anyhow as the Carvin is the most versatile amp i've ever owned. Tradewise, At the moment I fancy another bass.....try me on anything but I fancy a Warwick, Yamaha, Musicman Ray 34 or US Sub, would consider the cheaper SUBs too with some cash my way. I like old quicky basses too like the Ibanez Musician/Studio etc. 4 or 5's...may even fancy a 6. I Would also entertain a swap for a different voiced amp like an Eden, Orange Terror, Genz Streamliner perhaps (again) or a Markbass cab. So back to the Carvin, Specs,,,basically its sh*t hot and in superb condition as its been rack mounted since new. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7hU1pzWE9E Stock pic: [i]The BX1500 dual mono block rack mount bass head delivers huge power that’s rich and warm all generated from discrete Class A preamps and 12AX7 tube driven power amps.

No bass head has more tonal flexibility. – A one knob compressor adjusts for smooth light compression and the internal amp limiters hold everything. – Bi-Amping is easily done from the front panel crossover control with each amp setting it own level for the HI and LO balance – Everything is nicely controlled with independent Amp 1 & 2 Levels and a Master Volume – A conveniently located Mute switch and an Active/Passive switch to tailor the input for different pickup configurations, plus Graphic EQ,Effects and X-over front panel switches – The rear panel features an XLR Balanced DIRECT output with Level control and pre or post switch. – 3 High current Speakon™ 1/4-inch combo speaker connectors are for Amp 1, 2 and Bridge – Rear panel Effect loop, stereo amp patch inserts and an un-muted turner jacks. – The CLASS D power amps feature high current, high speed FET output devices for optimal 2 ohm current. – The high headroom reveals its high dynamic power from the Switchmode power supply that operates at 100,000 Hz delivering maximum efficiency while reducing weight. – The head runs cool from its 94% efficiency.

  17. Gorgeous, and a lot lighter than my 74 too - Enjoy
  18. This is still available as a sale fell through. Would trade towards a Sterling SUB Ray 4, obviously i'd add some cash too
  19. [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1418587728' post='2631507'] It initially came on the market in Black, White and Walnut Satin I think, and they added honeyburst in late 2013. Trans Blue and Red were introduced as options for 2014. If only they did the 5 string in Blue, or would introduce a natural finish, or did black with a rosewood fretboard...... Thank you for posting those links to the wiring diagram and the preamp fix guys. Reckon I'd be a bit out of my depth, but cheers nonetheless. [/quote] You get the black and i'll get the walnut and lets swap necks ...I'd quite like the walnut with a maple neck.
  20. [quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1418573333' post='2631281'] Drool [/quote] Yes I'm wanting one of these....any USA friends around???
  21. Labella flats on my 74 jazz, fantastic for reggae...still keep rounds on my P however
