See that's more like it! Thanks! Why are they so cheap if they contain neos?! Do they still make a 1x12?

I just love Ps! I used to have two, now I miss my 2nd!

Thanks all. I'm just after a simple well made single split pup vol/tone... GW - I have thought about the CV but I'm not great at working on instruments and I have no proper tools, like solder iron, etc, and not a lot of time unfortunately. I'd like to, but I don't trust my skills! Btw - my replacement Sterling 5 HS arrived two weeks back. Much lighter, well made, awesome tone, no problems Brand new bass.

Hmm, well so far it seems to be that most people slate the distressed look, but then others will spend thousands on a custom shop, such as the Pino, which is also distressed! I want another P bass basically. Not boutique, not silly money (eg over £1200), and has to be a Fender. Why? Because Ive tried so many high end Ps, but the Fender just works.... Im quite tempted to try and pick up one of these....ill have a scout around.

After seeing so many nice 2x12s stating they were £450 ish all in, I asked for a quote on the same spec. How much? £1399 incl VAT, plus shipping. Did they add the 1 at the front by accident?! I asked about 1x12s, because there have been basschatters discussing these being built, and one in the for sale thread. Answer? They don't make them. Very odd.... Im intrigued.

Hi! Looking for opinions on these for those that have also played the American Standards. I'm looking for a 2nd P bass...wondering if this might fit the bill?

VT Bass into a nice small Class D amp (even if you put it straight into the power section). Genz Shuttle 9.0, Genz Streamliner 900, Markbass F500. Or, the TC RH amps will get very close to a modern interpretation on Ampeg.

Hi The Streamliner 900 has a 1/4 in, and the iPod I have is 1/8th in, as usual. Ive been looking round for the best solution as all my cables I currently have dont fit! So, am I best with: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Stereo-Jack-6-35mm-Cable/dp/B003OSLUO0/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IUES6E19DTMK6&colid=2IJT8P0IYWRSD"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Stereo-Jack-...d=2IJT8P0IYWRSD[/url] OR, these two together (does the gold plating make ANY difference at all?!): [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adaptor-Premium-Quality-Headphone-Adapter/dp/B002JP6JEK/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IQ78NE1KERMDU&colid=2IJT8P0IYWRSD"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adaptor-Premium-Qu...d=2IJT8P0IYWRSD[/url] [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Stereo-Plug-Mtrs-Gold/dp/B0007OC94Y/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3URIE1Z3MKR1C&colid=2IJT8P0IYWRSD"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Stereo-Plug-...d=2IJT8P0IYWRSD[/url]

Id like to chime in now with my large experience with the 2008- American Standards: Advantages: Tone, consistent weight, excellent case (I think all instruments should come with a proper hardcase, and these really are the best Ive seen) better colours/guards for the current crop, bridge, light tuners, overall feel, pickups, fingerboard (especially the rosewood), necks. Disadvantages: New higher pricing, (although a Lakland P is about £950 and is not cased and is made in the Cort factory) slightly too thin finish on some colours (white seems a little too thin for me, but it still looks great!) inconsistent QC, (Ive played around 8-9 and owned about 3-4, and Ive kept one which is my favourite P of all time). If you get a well made AS, and its at a fair price (you can offer lower than the website price) then it will serve you very well. Personally, the sunburst/tort/rosewood and white/tort/rosewood are perfect to me. Ive thought about a 'boutique' or custom P, but I think the P is one of those basses that Ill stick with Fender for. P/J, 5 string Js, etc, fair enough, check out the boutique gear, but the USA P is a very good instrument and much cheaper.

I dont really like black at all unless I have to. Jon should make a White/rosewood/tort version

[quote name='sgh' post='1280145' date='Jun 23 2011, 08:50 PM']Just got my RH750 & RS210 today and am mighterly impressed Just checking re voltages, I could take my UK bought 750 to the US & just use the uk lead & a 3 pin to 2 pin plug adapter ?[/quote] Yep! It switches power itself. Im still waiting for my 3rd RH750...the 2nd had a really odd vibrating when the fan was on that stopped and started when you touched the top of the amp....tried all surfaces, tried it on its side, listened through the vents and hey presto, something was vibrating on catching. Shame. Hopefully 3rd time lucky.

I didnt either! Good wind up!

I think my only worry would be using my current micro amps through them, as they are both much more than 200W at 8ohms (1x12) or 400W at 4 ohms (2x12). I know you can be careful, and thats what a volume knob is for, but I would still be a little worried.

Looks great, apparently sounds great, well engineered, but quite heavy and not that high a wattage rating. Id like to try one though.

How much is the Shuker nowadays?

Few quality DI/pedals: Tech 21 Sansamp BDDI or a variation on this Tech 21 VT Bass Deluxe Aguilar Tone Hammer All high quality, great tone.

Lovely!

Registered my interest in a maple HH Ray 5 19mm with S&T UK. If they do them for normal UK street price and dont put extra on (they shouldnt because they are the same in the USA) then I dont mind going through a dealer.
