[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.

[quote name='Clarky' post='859220' date='Jun 6 2010, 07:57 PM']I am thoughly enjoying my recently acquired Nash JB-63. Such a great, worn-in feeling instrument. BassDirect are going to stock them (4 on order) but until Mark gets them in, here's another site (a German one) which stocks some nice examples for you to peruse. There's a very Pino-ish 63-PB amongst them. And for the anti-fake Fender brigade, they are now using 'NashGuitars' as the headstock decal. [url="http://www.station-music.de/index.html"]http://www.station-music.de/index.html[/url][/quote] Nice!

Its finding the right 12" that isnt overpriced that is my own personal annoyance....

[quote name='Chris2112' post='858146' date='Jun 5 2010, 01:42 PM']I like Guitar Guitar, but I do think they need to overhaul their bass selection. It's a bit middle of the road, and the top line bass stuff just seems to be Ricks and high end jazz basses. I'd like to see them get some cooler stuff in to match their awesome guitars.[/quote] They do have a great shop in Newcastle, I must admit (and I realise they have expanded so business must be great!). All Ive noticed is their pricing seems quite a lot more than everywhere else. Eg a Stingray is £1300 from them, whereas elsewhere in Newcastle its £1169. They must have a fantastic business plan as theyve managed to be the No 1 Sadowsky importer, and they have the Lakland importing contract. The store here has a LOT of super Jazzes in stock, and some cool Aguilar/TC/Phil Jones bits n pieces. I am also spoilt as their guitar stock is phenomenal; customer shop Fender Strats/Teles everywhere. Ive only bought one cab from them and some guitar effects/power supply. Great service and when the power supply had a problem they gave me a new one no problem.

I went in to their Newcastle store today and had a look. The Suhrs seem awfully expensive for the overall 'look'. Some of the Sadowsky's are very pretty though. They must be doing very well, despite their high pricing, as they seem to be stocking a LOT of high end basses/guitars. Some of it I would not have on general 'shop' display if im honest. They also had the new TC lower priced 1x15 combo....its a great price if im honest but its HUGE! Great if you are on a budget

Ah...right. Hmm. Ive not got a digital MB amp, but Ive got the TC. The sound of the RH doesnt go through the cab; its just the actual unit itself I believe. Im pretty sure any F1/F500 owner would be able to sort this out. Put a topic on talkbass....someone over there will answer really quickly

The digital amps of the modern day can make quite a funny 'zip' noise when turned off. The TC RH450 does this. Its sounds futuristic; I like it. I tried another RH450 and it was exactly the same. Im pretty sure that virtually all digital amps make a whoosh or zip when then are turned on/off. It may also be your fan powering up or down.

Good idea...

[quote name='Pkomor' post='856666' date='Jun 3 2010, 10:59 PM']I dont, but I mean that even with no bass plugged in or the volume turned right down on the amp there seems to be an inherent hiss through the tweeter. I might be making too much of it![/quote] Ah, I see. Hmm, I know JTUK and plenty of other Basschatters have these cabs. they will chime in soon and help I reckon. Its probably nothing, but best to always check

I owned a modern 810E (Ampeg) for about 9 months. It sounded pretty lame at low volume levels. When I bought the Aguilar cabs, my ears suddenly starting hearing so much more! I vote for two 4x10s. One 8x10 is a real pain to move unless you have friends who will help all the time/live in a house/can store it safely in a practice room/have a big enough van. As with most gear, it was the 'hype' from seeing bands that made me get an 8x10. I didnt like it. My advice? If you want a powerhouse cabinet, get a stunning 4x10 (4 ohm) or something like the Berg NV610. Youd be surprised at what the TC RS cabs can do; its the height advantage that makes them sound HUGE.

Hmm Its a Ray with an F500? Do you have you mids/highs boosted a lot on your bass?

Hi! What do you mean by hiss? There is a certain 'noise' with nearly all tweeters, especially if you run your treble high and have the tweet on full. My DB212 makes a VERY slight noise near the tweet but you have to really listen for it. Thats with a very similar LM3. Usually I have tweeters on max 1/3...or off.

Im doing a similar thing with a Stingray I want to order to replace my Classic. It would be White body/black plate/black pickguard/maple board. Purely as the other EBs I have coming are rosewood and I like a mixture.
