I DI'd tonight and the next band liked it so he did the same...basically his head was on the way out. I use a Tech 21 Sansamp BDDI....its a coloured Ampeg-ish gritty sound which is pretty good considering all you have to take is a tiny box. I really like the Aguilar Tonehammer and I intend to get one very soon as its totally different. Touring with a sansamp is really easy! Gareth

[quote name='alexclaber' post='590080' date='Sep 4 2009, 07:51 PM']I don't believe that's what they're saying, seems to be more the suggestion that for someone stating "as for cabs, I have no clue where to go" then tying themself into exclusively one speaker configuration is short-sighted. Alex[/quote] Fair enough. There is often an anti-4x10 stance though, so I was just making sure he knew that actually 4x10s are still all good, if you want that type of cab

HS410/AE410 both awesome. Dont let people say a 4x10 isnt necessary. I love 4x10s, and they do the sound I want, and LOUD!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='590030' date='Sep 4 2009, 07:00 PM']Well no Birdy, because an out board preamp will just do what my amp does. thats all a preamp does... i will just have more confusing amp EQ.. It will be done by a pro i know, so will be very neat..[/quote] I heard people mention this. I'd say an out board pre amp pedal is a really good idea plus can use them for DI and other features they have. Just my 2 penneth Beauty of a bass....keep it as it is and get a preamp pedal. Some of those pedals do a lot more/different things to an amp.

[quote name='Moos3h' post='589379' date='Sep 4 2009, 08:48 AM']It's always worth getting in touch with The Bass Merchant too - Darren is good people and his prices are often excellent I too have bought SOME stuff from Thomann before - as long as your goods work ok and the transaction goes okay then you're fine, but believe me, in my experience it's a world of pain when they don't![/quote] Agreed, Darren did me an ace price on the LM3...and I mean ace. I wont put it up. Needless to say he will sort you out, great shop as well.

I agree about the sun issue. Its blazing on the Sadowskys, the Aguilar amps/cabs and the TC Electronics gear. I would not want to buy anything thats been sat in some of this heat weve been having....plus, why put the most expensive basses in the most dangerous place?! They are a dream to play, not my thing when plugged in. SR5....I agree....love em!

[quote name='johnbiffa' post='589263' date='Sep 3 2009, 11:28 PM']If it doesn't sell please let me know, Im in E Yorkshire so collection pretty easy..........also how about a Marshall Super Bass 100 from late 70/s early 80's very loud. I have 2 and 1 is a spare that I never use. John[/quote] Hey Ive got a chap off Gumtree first dibs, then the chap above your post, then if it doesnt sell ill give you a message.

As per the title, this is a very excellent condition Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi USA Effects pedal. Comes complete with the original wooden box, instructions, packing material, warranty card and sticker which is a rarity. Seen one on here for £36 w/o box posted, so with box how about £40 ONO posted? Or £35 picked up ONO. Its a classic USA one, and its mint. PM me any offers....Im on London this weekend (Sat/Sun/Mon) if you are based there. I live in North East Lincs though. Thanks Gareth Edit: Picture added! -
[b]NOTE - In London area 17-18th October...so can deliver for small fee or meet. Alternatively, can meet anywhere on the way from NE Lincs area to London.[/b] Made In Japan Fender Precision '62 Reissue. Colour is Olympic White, guard is Red Tort, fretboard is rosewood. I have had the bass from new, around 1996 ish. It even still have the '50 Years of Fender' sticker on the back of the headstock. The bass works exceptionally well, it is light, comfy, and worn in. Sounds like a Precision should Throaty deep and aggressive with a pick, or roll back the tone and it does fat and warm. Just had a setup and check costing £12...everything is 100%. The has sentimental value, so I dont want to let it go cheap. This bass has served me well, and has years and years left in it! I may well withdraw this if nothing firm has been made. This is the ’62 Reissue model and not a standard MIJ, hence the price. I have been advised that this is just about the right price, but I am willing to negotiate. I have also done some research and these basses were held in high regard at the time, and are becoming quite collectable. Condition: We are looking at an almost 14 year old bass here, but you would never guess it. There is no actual damage to it, just very [u]light[/u] wear n tear. I [u]never[/u] wear a belt buckle facing the bass when I play, no matter what the bass cost me, so there is [u]no[/u] buckle rash. A few light small dings in the headstock that cannot be seen unless closer, few areas of very light ageing, but its been cleaned and cared for. It has great sentimental value, and even though I was a young player when I first owned this, it has always been used properly. All as original, stock parts. Two tiny little dints near the scratchplate, but it hasn’t done anything to the paint apart from leave a little mark, and they are not visible to the camera. Cannot see it at a distance! For almost 14 years old, its doing very well Paint looks great for its age. Give it ten years and this bass will look even better. Scratchplate is in tact and fine, it has the obvious scratches, but if you wanted to you could replace it. Personally, I think it looks good how it is No damage to the neck area what so ever. Smooth varnish finish on the back means this is sooo easy to play. Nice tint to the neck. The rosewood board and the frets are fine. This stays incredibly in tune, all the time. Comes fitted with Rotosound 66 Swing Bass lights…if you want a higher tension and a little bit more aggression, put a normal/heavy set on it. Case: Fairly lightweight hardcase, it has only been used for 6 months. Weight: Light! I have no idea on its actual weight, as I can’t weigh it, but I know it is light and comfortable. Compared to the USA Fender Precision Deluxe I sold a while back, this is much much lighter. I have never experienced any ache or problems back-wise when using this bass. Feel free to test it. Sound: Well, this nails P bass thud and punch without a doubt. I have recorded a fair few times with this bass, and I have always had compliments on how well it sounds in a mix. Believe it or not, some of my latest recordings are just this P Bass, a Sansamp BDDI with a little grit and fairly new strings. All straight into the board. Sounds huge, chunky, fat and grindy. Roll back the tone and you have that classic P Bass thump. . Location: I am based in NE Lincs, but I am willing to travel halfway for trades or sales, (fuel contribution for sales). Feel free to PM me to come and test it. I can post this bass, but it would be much safer to pick it up. Please note: Due to its sentimental value, I will withdraw it if I don't get near what I would like. The majority of the pics are quite dark...the bass itself is quite a vibrant white...but creamy. [b]Price[/b]: £365.00 including the hardcase. EDIT: Very recent setup [b]Trades[/b]: I am open to trades on USA Fender Precision/Jazz Basses 08/09, (plus a chunk of cash from me).

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='588120' date='Sep 2 2009, 10:44 PM']Having used an MXR M-80 D.I. for my passive P and Maruszczck Jazz to give that all important mid control and the switchable boost and distortion I'd strongly recommend it. The Tone Hammer was the other possibility.[/quote] +1 Tonehammer is great. I tested one for ten mins at Bass Merchant and I loved it. Made a nice difference to a passive bass, and the overdrive was really useful and gritty! Really good solid pedal with lots of features. Its now on my GAS list... -

[quote name='thedonutman' post='587965' date='Sep 2 2009, 09:02 PM']I stayed in Durham last night, so this morning I went a little further up the road to Newcastle to go to a few shops with Guitar Guitar in particular, make of it what you will: Sadowsky - "Underwhelming" would be the best word to describe this. The UVs were nice basses but for almost 2k? Nowhere near as good as I thought. Granted, it may be partly down to shop setup (They were all completely out of tune, slightly high action etc) but considering the hype around Sadowskys and my love for Jazz style basses I would have expected it to blow me away. Instead I find that I don't like any of the neck profiles and the tone pretty average. The Modern 24 5 string was even worse, considering I've lusted after one of those for years. The B string was terrible - had no definition whatsoever and the tone left much to be desired. The only really positive thing I can say about my experience with Sadowskys is that the materials used look like they're great quality. The ash on the bodies had nice grain and as did the rosewood on the fretboards. Plus I couldn't fault the construction at all - flawless inlays and binding, tight neck joints etc. Warwick FNA Jazzman 5 (used) - This was also a serious disappointment. It was used but if anything that says even more about the construction. The 3 piece Ovangkol neck seemed to be coming apart slightly - perhaps due to differences in humidity or something? I could feel the unevenness between the 3 pieces of wood when playing. Neck joint wasn't very tight front to back but was acceptable around the edges. For a high end German made instrument the woods used weren't great either. The flame maple top wasn't very well figured. If the body was solid maple that'd be understandable, but it was just a thin top. The bass felt solid in the hands and resonated alot. I guess I just played a bad one - probably why it got part EX'd anyway? Also, what's with the new Warwick nut? By the looks of it the only contact between the nut and headstock is two tiny screws?! Rickenbacker 4001 C64 (didn't have binding or triangle inlays?) Really nice bass. Didn't feel any of the ergonomics issues that other people have mentioned, with the exception of the rather cool looking but unreasonably large bridge pickup cover. The electronics were a bit scratchy but I think it's been in the shop for a long time. Didn't get a chance to have a go with a pick but I imagine it would have sounded awesome - couldn't resist playing some Rush and Yes. This is officially the most expensive bass I've ever seen, held or played - almost £3k? EBMM SR5 - Awesome bass. Loved the feel of it - great B string (on par with my Spector) only complaint would be the pickup design - the sides are curved so resting my thumb there didn't feel quite right. Fender Deluxe Jazz fretless - No "mwah" at all, in fact it sounded rather similar to it's fretted counterpart. No other complaints. I really want a set of flatwounds for my jazz now! Disclaimer - comments about tone are subjective, obviously as I didn't test the basses through multiple amps Maybe I'm subconsciously telling myself I don't like Sadowskys to save myself money. [/quote] Dont worry, this is EXACTLY what happened to me with the Sadowsky. I craved the UV...but I was underwhelmed. My new 09 USA Fender Jazz gives me my dream tone at less than half the price. Weird, isnt it?! I put a thread up about this a few weeks back. Their USA Fender Jazz 75 Reissue was totally different...VERY impressed. Lots lighter too. I still dont understand it...I just think im more of a passive guy unless its a Stingray.

Well I gave them all a good testing out this last week, (most of the cabs on thi thread). The Berg HT112ER/EX was amazingly smooth and low, totally different to my normal sound, which I liked. The other cabs I have are very rock orientated, and his was a very nice tone. The AE112s were great, aggressive and full, but not as full as the HT/EX ER stack. They look amazing, but I can see the spray finish marking easily. The Aguilar DB112 was great, but I might just stick to my DB212s and have something that sounds totally different. Thanks Gareth

I LOVE the necks on these basses. I think I have found my 5 string bass, plus its Jazz'ish too. Anyone tried them against each other? Is the new Fender 5 neck on the P's and J's a lot wider and rounder? If so ill be sticking with the JO or DJ.

[quote name='onehappybunny' post='586545' date='Sep 1 2009, 02:37 PM']Just tried the Little Mark Tube out at Andertons in Guildford. Nice bassy sound, but very little difference between the solid state and valve pre's One of my favourite live sounds was a function band a couple of years back with a LM into two MB cabs, but when I play them they sound a bit muffled (even when going easy on the VLE control)[/quote] Agreed on both counts. LM non tube is better IMO...and the cabs always sound good when others use them!

[quote name='sk8' post='586574' date='Sep 1 2009, 03:16 PM']sounds good. I may have to purchase a bass terror. As you've got an AD200 i woul be interested in a tone comparision. I know its not going to be the same but how close is it, if at all.[/quote] Its a very good small lightweigh head to give you some grunt/tubey overdrive.....it does sound similar to the AD200b, but without the pure tube grunt. Im getting one anyway purely because it works very well. Very light, very small, damn loud. You will like it if you like some gain. It also sounds a lot better than I imagined clean. It doesnt do the full on tube grind like a tube amp would do, but its close enough! Fat, and dirty, thats what it sounds like.
