Classic + RH450 - Same 'sound', upgrades if you want them on the RH450. Staccato - Different sound out of the box. MASSIVE low end! Still sounds like the same amp, but with different EQ points and a few other tweaks.
-
Strangely, the RS210 and RS212 match very nicely, and have been designed to mix with each other. Try one RS212 first, as that might be enough!

PTP....nice

The 9.0 doesnt just add more bottom, as obviously it adds more headroom, which along with the hi-pass filter adjustment (think thats the right way round) gives you a much larger sound apparently. I await to see what Genz release this NAMM. I have seen the two new Uber cabinets, and the Uber Quad (1x12, 2x8, Tweet 600W) looks awesome. If the release an amp with two mid controls, or with better control over those filters, ill be getting one. There are rumours about a new amp due this year!

EB Group III Flats!

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' post='995959' date='Oct 21 2010, 02:12 PM']The new David Nordschow Amp (DNA) cabs. THe DNS 112 is going for 699 dollars on bass central and the shipping is an extra 275. So I think it'll end up pretty expensive![/quote] Ah, Ive seen those reviews. Personally, id stick with a nice Berg 1x12 or Aguilar 1x12. Cheaper (as you wont have to pay import/postage), and very high quality. In fact, the GS112's by Aguilar are a great price.

It's taken a while but now I love my Fender P bass
Musicman20 replied to iconic's topic in Bass Guitars
Id leave it as it is, or buy a USA Fender set. -
Just curious....they seem very rare!
-
Ill view these in terms of comfort: P Bass - Perfect for thumpy in the mix playing, or full on grindy rock n roll. The neck, to me, feels great. You can slap and pop on a P and it sounds like a P bass....which I personally think is pretty cool. J Bass - I still havent found the right J Bass for me. I sometimes think the neck is too cramped, due to the fact I learnt on P basses. Great for slap. I sometimes find a J bass gets lost in a rock mix, but thats just me and probably because im used to a P bass. Great tone. Stingray - The ultimate do it all bass IMO. Great neck, great tones, great feel. Superb slap tone, and very comfortable. They are viewed as one trick ponies (as are Ps) but WHAT a trick! Bongo - I want one, that is all! From the demos Ive heard, modern, clean, versatile, and pretty funky looking. If depends what slap tone you like. Personally, I think the slap tone on EBMMs is perfect...very little effort needed for a huge sound. Try as many as you can.

Clarky seems to be having dreams about gear in Off Topic! I hate waiting for couriers.

I've had these in my string draw for 3 months and at the moment I'm enjoying flats and nickels. These are too good to have sat unused! Packaging unopened and completely in tact. £20.50 including postage. Payment via bank transfer or cash on collection. £19 if picked up. Cheers! Edit: Link to specs - [url="http://www.drstrings.com/catalog/fat-beams-marcus-miller-signature-series"]http://www.drstrings.com/catalog/fat-beams...ignature-series[/url] If you want pics, let me know, but its just exactly the same as you see there on the DR site, eg unopened.

I almost took some the other day but got carried away playing!
-
One thing im confused about is the cab experts saying 'dont mix drivers' yet the BF site says you can mix the 12 with the 15....who is right?!
-
This has to be one of the best ideas for setting up an instrument. No tools needed, just something to fit into that hole in the wheel. The best part is that you having nothing to fight to do it quickly...eg no guards to remove, no screws etc. Literally loosen strings, adjust, tune back up. Done. I havent had to do it on my new EBMMs yet, but I know its going to save a lot of messing about.

The never ending quest for the lowest possible action
Musicman20 replied to CHRISDABASS's topic in Bass Guitars
I tend to leave it as factory standard now. I did tweak my USA P Bass though as it was TOO low... -
Fodera Yin Yang - what do people think aesthetically?
Musicman20 replied to molan's topic in Bass Guitars
I cant say anything because I think Bongos and Big Als look great, but thats not for me, sorry. -
[quote name='ingenius' post='994585' date='Oct 20 2010, 11:27 AM']For info Guys... I had the all the tone controls on the Stingray set flat, and i nudged the Mid control a touch backward and forward during the rehearsal as required but i mean only a little. treble and bass knobs stayed at centre dent. For what its worth and only my opinion, the Sansamp BDDI does favour a hotter output from a bass. Am loving that stingray sound .. need we cover a show us your Stingray thread ? or has that been done before ? regards Keith[/quote] There is a thread in the Gear section below I have found I raise the mids a smidge, and lower the treble. I do like that 'in your face' Ray tone, but the treble cut brings the fingerstyle tone to perfection.
-

Cant agree more. They just seem to have such massive tone its unreal. After trying a Ray instead of my Precision at a practice, the whole band noticed the massive sound.
-
Definitely agree. Although mine is the opposite. After fiddling about, ive gone back to EBMM basses yet again. Fender's are fantastic, when you get a good one, but the chances of a poor Ray are very low.

[quote name='Beedster' post='992916' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:02 PM']A lot of manufacturers leave me feeling a little cold with their rapid release/withdrawal of products. It's probably just that I'm used to the relative inertia in bass technology that characterised the first twenty years or so I played, and reflects middle-aged conservatism on my part. I hate it when I buy something only to find it's superseded by another 'improved' version 6 months later. And yes, Markbass gear never stacks well C[/quote] +1 Absolutely hate it when they release new gear straight after the previous one has got popular, (especially if its too soon eg 1 year). Markbass are very expensive. You know what they need to do? Make a LM head that has ipod/aux in, a mute, and a few other extras (2 speakons), charge a little bit more, and it will FLY off the shelves. The LM3 is fantastic. When I tried the F500, I was a little underwhelmed. Nice tight sound, just TOO small and not enougb room for those controls. The general consensus seems to be: Markbass amps are great, the cabs are so-so. The NY122 is bloody great though. I think their amps mixed with Aguilar GS/DB and Berg cabinets is the key.

[quote name='machinehead' post='992959' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:38 PM']It wasn't aimed at you in a confrontational way. I was just adding to the debate. Sorry if it seemed like a bit of a dig. I'm sure you'd admit that none of us are totally immune to marketing bulls**t. I know I'm not, as hard as I try. Frank.[/quote] No worries! I must admit, sometimes I do fall for marketing, but I try my hardest to test it beforehand.
