[quote name='AndyTravis' post='791340' date='Mar 30 2010, 11:31 PM']when i get them in, i'll do a 2 pager, a real in depth thing for everyone. 21 frets...winner.[/quote] Awesome ....be very interested to hear your thoughts!

Its an EB bass...therefore it will be uber powerful and very very well made. I still think the shape is cool in an odd way....but thats good. Who gives a s*** if people think its odd...if you like the look, test one out Clearly EB and BMW went out of their way to make a very unique bass....and they have!

I think ill be leaving it at least 6 months to see what the reviews are like and try a few out.

[quote name='Heartbreaker' post='790802' date='Mar 30 2010, 05:01 PM']4[/quote] That's fair enough...does seem heavy for a £1300 deluxe model. The old one I had a few years back weighed a lot for me...I was hoping they'd sort that out!

[quote name='Heartbreaker' post='790767' date='Mar 30 2010, 04:30 PM']Just got back from trying out one of these new 2010 American Jazz Deluxes with the intention to buy. Hmmmmm! I thought the word Deluxe meant top of the range, hardly weighing in at a heavy 10lb. You would have thought they would have specially selected bodies represnting nice grain & light weights. Obviously other Deluxes will vary slightly weight wise but 10lbs sure aint Deluxe to me. Both my 96 Custom Shop American Deluxe Jazz & 02 FMT Jazz weigh in at 8.5lbs each, what I'd expect from a top end bass. The active / passive switch is a nice touch although it was the new N3 pups & new eq that I was primarily interested in seeing what difference or improvements there were compared to the SCN & Noisless set ups of its Deluxe predicessors. Overlooking the terrible (NONE) set up, to my ear I thought there was very little difference to notice if any. I'd have to realy test it out alongside my other jazzes to realy see if there were any real difference but on that all important first play opinion, I'll not be handing over my hard earned wedge just yet, not even if it was 8.5lbs. I was hoping for some real noticably differences in tonal ability. It will be interesting to hear from others who currently have the pre 2010 Deluxe basses & try a new one out.[/quote] Interesting! Thanks for letting us know....I sure need to test before I go ahead. 10lbs to me seems pretty normal for a full sized 5 string...was it a 4 or 5?

[quote name='KERMITNT' post='789451' date='Mar 29 2010, 02:49 PM']cheers mate thnx i didnt know the finish thing. Just tell me something what you think of getting a markbass 12 inches ny121 on the bottom it will work out? on top rs210 and on the bottom my markbass ny121?[/quote] Hmm....might be ok...probbaly better with a matching RS112 which are quite good prices also. Its neo and ceramic mixed....not sure what results this would yield. If you did try it and pref the TC cab the NY121 is a great cabinet anyway so would sell well if you felt the need to.

£370 is about right for an RS210....they might be the older finish cabinets...but you can request the new finish. Im pretty sure the latest ones, and the older ones, are all 400W capability for the cabinet. If thats what you meant lol.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='789135' date='Mar 29 2010, 08:45 AM']Oh, hell aye. The Walkabout is unique with those big, pillowy notes (which is why I'll never sell mine) but so far I'd say the TC is also warm and fat, but quicker and clearer. That said, I haven't ventured into the realms of the TubeTone yet. I think I'll probably only need it it fatten things up a very low volume, or when recording. There's certainly nothing processed-sounding about it...[/quote] I completely agree. I expected a more processed sound but it was the opposite. After trying the Shuttle 9.0 before hand, this amp was exactly what I was after. Mine has an issue with the power socket in the back which is causing other problems (the cord just almost falls out which is a bit worrying) but TC is has been very good with the warranty and they are sending a new unit. Other than that, which I presume is just my bad luck, the amp is spot on. I cant really use mine until the new one arrives so Im without it for a bit, but this has just proved to me that TC are one of those companies its safe to buy from and be looked after.

[quote name='Toasted' post='789250' date='Mar 29 2010, 11:16 AM']I have the IP112ER and EX112ER. They're great.[/quote] Whoops I didnt even mention the IPs. If I had the money I would opt for an IP and pre...but I think its going to be passive cabs. How are you finding the EX112ER?

Thanks for the advice so far! I have actually tested them both before but I still can't see which would work best! The ER weight isn't an issue really...it's more which sounds fuller I guess. What is tempting me to the ERs is the more sweeter horn and the fact they arent as fragile. The AE line looks very well made but like my TC cabs i'd be worried about scuffing them ESP considering the cost.

Pls move to amps!!

AE line or ER line? In addition, is the AE line of 'coating' on the cabs as fragile as i imagine it is?

4 or 5 string?

Sounds like fun hahah. Im pretty busy with 2 bands at the moment but ill have a think.
