[quote name='eude' post='862286' date='Jun 9 2010, 04:24 PM']I think the Shuttle is out of my price range, don't they come in about £700?!!!!... If they're around what I can afford I'll be on one like an aggressive moss! Eude[/quote] I've seen them for less than £600.

Shuttle 3.0 10T

[quote name='umph' post='862194' date='Jun 9 2010, 03:19 PM']While they'll do mostly anything you ask for a price, i think if you want lightweight and small your barking up the wrong tree[/quote] I know they arent really well known for small cabinets....im just thinking a fairly compact 2x12...nothing as small as say a Schroeder. Lightish is what Im after....I realise they dont do really light, but after reading up they do neo speakers so that would help.

Can anyone comment on Matamps 2x12 cabinets? Ive seen some of the examples on here and the prices are awesome. Im wondering what they can do; eg a vertical 2x12, sweet high end tweeter (nothing harsh), 4 ohm, lots of volume capability, lightweight as possible, fairly compact? I really want it to be under 60lbs and quite 'compact' for a 2x12. Im just thinking on and GASSING I suppose. I love 2x12s! Ive dropped them an email. Feel free to PM or contribute on the thread if you have prices etc.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='861602' date='Jun 8 2010, 10:37 PM']Yeah the end was sweet too. I just get bored with that speed-metal "blat blat blat blat" drumming these days - it's too much like what I was into as a kid. If the drummer was more dynamic then I'd be right into all of this. I can't find the Horse track. [/quote] Ah, well what happened is the drumming in most metal/thrash is just alternating bass drum n snare played really quick with a hi hat/cymbals. The hardcore and punk scene, as you probably know, developed it to be a triplet feel on the single bass drum (my drummer noted this takes a lot more skill). It gives the guitar/bass more of a bouncy double time, which was really popular in mid 90s punk in the USA. This band mixed hardcore with punk and added tech metal to bring what you hear here; technical punk. Another band that springs to mind would be Strung Out. I personally side a lot more with punk than metal, just because it tends to be melodic and they don't have the whole daft 'metal' vibe going on. If you type A Wilhelm Scream 'The Horse' into google or YouTube it should come up The tapping starts about 20 seconds in.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='861546' date='Jun 8 2010, 09:53 PM']That intro was awesome. The rest didn't blow my fringe back much but I appreciate the skill.[/quote] The end is pretty nice as well. Check out 'The Horse' if you like the tapping. Great track and serious skill!

[quote name='Clarky' post='861566' date='Jun 8 2010, 10:12 PM']He's technically very proficient (the bassist of course) - not heard this lot before, seems like half way between modern punk and early Metallica/Megadeth type thrash metal. Interesting. And yeah, the 'Ray actually sounded pretty good on this clip[/quote] I think they are all fans of Maiden/Metallica but didnt want to be in a metal band. You can definitely hear the Maiden influences all over it. But its modern, faster, and punk

I'm guessing something with a 15... Either that or a start to a new range. Or, possibly another type of 2x12.

Punks come a long way folks. This technical bass playing is awesome and is one of the main reasons I started seriously learning finger style a year or so ago. [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/ProductionsNewspeak#p/u/14/3_in0b9V0QI"]A WILHELM SCREAM[/url] Enjoy

I'm lucky to have the option to try both these options, and believe me it works either way. As the 210 would be close to your ear you would be getting the sweeter punchy high end near your ear, then the warm low and mids coupled to the floor. TC designed them so they can be mixed and matched. If 'phasing' was a serious issue, then all the manufacturers who insist on it would be making a lot more money. I can see why people prefer not to mix speaker sizes, but it really doesnt make that much difference in the real world. Basically, try if you can. If you like it, you like it.

Pink is a good colour, and looks classy as hell, and cool. I say go for it. Im not into gold hardware but thats me. Ive seen one of those Stingray Classics in Pink and it was stunning. Edit: Here we go [url="http://s567.photobucket.com/albums/ss113/obikenobi_2009/"]PINK RAY[/url]

I must admit the NASH logo on the headstock is pretty cool. Good addition.

Hi chaps So far im really enjoying changing the parameters! I havent gigged them with the changes as yet, but plenty of rehearsals. I realise some users may not require all these extras for the RH450, but personally I think if TC release this as an option to use with the RH450, them it would attract those who really like to tweak. Ultimate flexibility! Ive been attempting to try and match the Staccato 51' (as close as I can) with what Ive heard about it and the test I had with one for a while in a store. All good fun I never once though 2-3 years ago that amps would come this far and sound this good in such a small slick package. Thanks

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='860990' date='Jun 8 2010, 01:55 PM']LOL. At least its low budget GAS now. I was very saddened to find Bass Chat was blocked on the hotels WiFi all week. Just as well i had Talkbass ;-)[/quote] Thats classic. What excuse did you give when you were on talkbass whilst on holiday?!

Great collection!

[quote name='Doddy' post='860607' date='Jun 8 2010, 01:03 AM']The Nova Repeater does for sure. I'm pretty sure that the Nova Delay does too.[/quote] +1 It also has the option to 'strum' instead of tap the tempo....which I prefer. I spent ages looking and realised I actually prefer digital delay, (which was a shock). I do like analog for some 'dirty' repeats and self oscillation, but I use digital for writing.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='860857' date='Jun 8 2010, 12:04 PM']Cheers Rich. Its funny but im not really a Jazz guy but i am looking forward to getting this. Probably because its so cheap i feel i have nothing to loose. A bit OT. I had one of the original JV P's. black with maple neck. I got it for £199 at the Wapping bass centre when they first came out. I never realised they were so sought after until l i took it in to the Bass centre a few years ago to get it set up. To me it was a cheap bass that had no re sell value so i had never bothered selling it and it had been in the wardrobe for years (while i was playing keys ). I ended up selling it to the BC (probably got a bit ripped off) and got my first ever Jazz with the proceeds (a HW1). EDIT: Just found out the shop i ordered from doesn't have it in stock, even though they said they do (no, its not GAK ;-). Order cancelled and ill need to look elsewhere. EDIT2: Re ordered. Ive only been back off holiday for less than 12 hours, its been hectic lol[/quote] Welcome back to GAS Dave!

[quote name='AirTightEddie' post='860377' date='Jun 7 2010, 09:26 PM']Thanks for all your info, it was alot of help. I scored myself a brand new Orange stack and I'm one happy plucker. It sounds awsome. I haven't got to grips with it yet, just had one band practice, with it all set flat and my Stingray set flat too is sounded amazing instantly, cranked up the gain and the dirt was sweet. Can't wait to gig with the beautiful beast.[/quote] Good choice

Hi all This is advice I want to redirect to a family friend who is after a decent powerful combo. So far, the main combos he has checked out are the ones offered by Markbass. He wants: Quality tone Lightweight Small footprint Aux In/Headphones I am also quite interested in the views on the Shuttle combos. The Shuttle 9.0 was not what I was looking for, but thats purely as for a head on its own, it didn't offer me what I required at the time. I look forward to your views I realise GB combos are NOT cheap, so he wants to be careful on that front. Thanks

I think TC have become strict on pricing, hence the RH450 amps and cabs have returned to a normal UK price

Just let them all DI....and dont worry about it. Its not your fault they havent got a rig.

Just say no. I have before. I will lend cabinets to people I trust, but thats about it. They would have to help me out.

Nova Repeater (TC) No nonsense, great great delay! Ive been looking for a small delay pedal with digital and analog simulation built in, and this pedal nails it. It also has some other great features. You wont get a better delay for £120. Comes with its own power supply as well. Im very happy with it and it works well for bass or guitar, (although I bought it mainly for guitar).

[quote name='Platypus' post='858752' date='Jun 6 2010, 11:45 AM']Mark at BassDirect has all the details up: Bergantino AE212 - £829 Based on the hugely successful AE112 this vertically oriented cabinet is designed as a one cab solution for those looking for a big sound with low weight. With sparkling high end details, plenty of mid-range energy and deep low end the AE212 will deliver a huge sound in a relatively compact and easy to move cabinet. Utilising Bergantino own custom Neodymium drivers you can expect to achieve effortless and controlled sound at any volume. We suggest using a minimum of a 500w at 4ohm amp but this cab will thrive on amps of up to 1000w. Stack a second cab on top for a really massive sound where appropriate. New for 2010! Model AE212 specifications: •2 x 12" Custom Neodymium drivers with 7 oz magnets •high intelligibility 1" tweeter •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control •power handling - 600 watts rms •frequency response: 40hz - 18khz •sensitivity: tbc db @ 1 Watt/1 meter •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 4ohms •dimensions: 31"H x 18-1/2"W x 15"D •78cm x 47cm x 38cm •weight: 55lbs/25 Kgs •This cab works well with high power amplifiers from 500 - 1000w at 4Ω[/quote] This cab looks excellent, and Id like one. Buttt, the weight/size factor for me is making me second think it. I wanted this to be super portable and lighter than my RS212 and it isnt....damn! I suppose it will sound awesome though. Back to the drawing board. MBass NY122 4 Ohm might be the answer.
