I want a sunburst or oly White 5 string now, rosewood/blocks. Can't afford it though.

Wowwww

The Aguilar pricing almost matches Berg in the USA, but here...

Wow. Seriously nice. First Dingwall that has my attention. I'm guessing they are super expensive?!

Refund dude.

Just get a 2EQ non-Classic. You can get a Black, Red or Blue without a hardcase for under £1k new, (padded gig bag). My 2EQ was a bit more as it's a more expensive colour plus a hardcase....very nice huge fat tone. A HH will give you the option for a big fat neck H tone

Heck...I thought the one I tried was a one offfff!

So, Im not 100%. The Sansamp will do it, definitely. I only use compression on my TC amp because its there, but not very often for punk/hardcore, etc. Live, he seems to play right near the neck quite a lot. A very underrated player/frontman

[quote name='Wil' post='1123589' date='Feb 11 2011, 09:42 AM']When I saw NOFX live, he was playing his Danelectro DC 59 into an Ampeg head and an Ampeg 8x10, as far as I could make out. Great sound out front too, punchy and slightly overdriven.[/quote] Yeah he uses those live because they are so lightweight and dont give him shoulder/back ache. They suit him down to the gorund, but he used to use Ps all the time live.

P Bass or J Bass, played VERY fast with a pick, with overdriven tube amps. A Sansamp BDDI gets you close

The general consensus is safe at 4 ohms, and will work at 2 as long as you don't do it ALL the time for hours at a time.

Thats crazy! How long has it been there?!

PS AE410 is 4 ohms only, and the PN-410HLF is 8 ohms only. If you want a one cab solution, the AE410 is probably better. Or, you could opt for 2 x 210, giving you a modular setup. The TC Electronics RS210 cabinets are superb and have suprised even those who like very high end bass cabinets.

Hi there With that price range, id definitely try to test them both out. Ive not seen the new Ampeg Neo cabs as yet. From what I hear from reports, the AE410 is loud, compact, and has quite an aggressive edge in the high mids. Personally, it wouldn't be smooth enough for me, but your tastes may be different.

[quote name='eude' post='1122676' date='Feb 10 2011, 02:27 PM']Well you do have a lot of Musicmans... Eude[/quote] Agreed. I went for so many after selling off my Fenders....and the quality is much higher IMO with the EBMMs....

[quote name='eude' post='1122654' date='Feb 10 2011, 02:13 PM']Just a thought dude, but what about the G&L JB? [url="http://www.glguitars.com/instruments/USA/basses/JB/index.asp"]http://www.glguitars.com/instruments/USA/basses/JB/index.asp[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/BassGuitarMag#p/u/14/EJNxLqWcJLQ"]http://www.youtube.com/user/BassGuitarMag#p/u/14/EJNxLqWcJLQ[/url] Sounds the part to me, and with the higher end G&L quality control, you're probably up there with the MusicMan(Men?)... Eude[/quote] I know what you mean....lovely! However, I think they retail for about £1700!!!!

Yep it is a premium Classic Ray. Hence the high price. Re: the weak G string issue. This is something I think, (although obviously not all) people can imagine. They presume before playing it that the G is weak. Ive had 2 90s Rays, sold them, I now have a new 2EQ Ray and a 3EQ on order. Ive never come across a weak G string. I personally think it might be a 3EQ 'EQ' issue, if it does exist...eg...its getting lost with that powerful onboard EQ somewhere. My Ray 5 doesnt have it, (although I hear its never been an issue on 5ers) but I can understand people are wary. I dont think the 2EQ is prone to it? Or am I wrong?! Argh. Either way, dont worry about it.

[quote name='Doddy' post='1122551' date='Feb 10 2011, 01:11 PM']I'd just go and try out a bunch and get the one you like. So what if there is a small gap in the neck pocket or whatever,it's no big deal. Get one and work with it. For me,Fenders feel nicer as they get played in,and that won't happen in 20 minutes. Get a decent feeling one and work with it for a while.[/quote] This was the plan...however, at £900-£1100 I just cannot accept a bass that isnt well made. As we all know, there are dogs in the Fender world, so Im quite paranoid haha!
