I'm not using mine at the moment as goi g for a warmer more old school sound, but they are fabulous amps and extremely loud!

Opened proceedings at Giants of Rock, Minehead with Stray yesterday. Nice friendly stage crew and a fabulous crowd. Used my Bugera Veyron Tube again and loved it. Decent monitor mix and a great craic afterwards. Was a bit disappointed with Hawkind, who were one of my old all time favourite bands but loved The Quireboys - first time I've seen them.

Suggestions for a lightweight 5 string under £500.....

Have a look at the Mahogany bodied Sires - I think they're the V3. They come in pretty light apparently. -
Butlins Giants of Rock weekend (not going now)

Stray bass here. No, no info other than what's been touted on the Facebook page. Looking forward to opening on Saturday on Reds. We were actually offered the closing slot on Sunday when Gun pulled out but that made it awkward for a couple of our members. Really looking forward to watching Hawkwind, just a shame they're a direct clash with Diamond Head who I used to quite like back in the day. -

Agree - I think on the ABM's the gain alters the tone.

Provided much mirth in our band!

Thanks Merton. The sub harmonic generator wasn't switched in but the deep switch was. I've messed about at home with the pre and found I could drive it a bit harder than I was before it clips. I won't be using it on Saturday but will prob take it to a couple of dates on our Feb tour to see how I get on!

Surprised no comments on this - anyone got any thoughts - particularly on the volume?
-
Despite the power rating claims - and that's been done to death elsewhere, make no mistake that these are bloody loud amps. I'm using mine regularly with Stray who aren't exactly a quiet bunch of shrinking violets, and the volume on tap is ample.

I'm happy!

600. It's 220, 600 and 2.5 khz on the valve one. And I'm already pushing the mids a bit on my VT Bass pedal. It obviously depends what you're aiming for. I'm looking for a big old school overdriven valve amp sound without the faff!

Just used mine at rehearsal and wound the mids up full with the selector in the middle position. Sounded bloody fab. Next trip out for it will be Giants of Rock next Saturday.

Beautiful. My first bass was one of these and if I can find a decent o e at the right price I'll snap it up!

Yeah thursday night - tickets in advance or on the door. Wow, would be glad to welcome a basschat posse!

Thanks Al. Funny abut the recording, a guy called Alex Cohen (Alex Humbug) approached us at the gig and asked if he could record it. His hobby is recording/collecting/trading live band recordings. He set up at the back of the room with a pair of mics into a portable recorder and did his stuff. Our keyboard player sprinkled some magic dust on it afterwards and voila!. We're co-headling The Garage with Ken Pustelnik's Groundhogs on 12 March!

Here's Stray at The 100 Club with 'I Believe It'. Bass isn't very clear in the mix but I'm using a Bugera Veyron T

Love the maple board!

Tempted even though I've got a valve one!

Love mine!

I used to use a pair for gigging. Really nice. I sold one and now use the other under a BF Big Baby. Probably overkill to be honest. I'd only use one for tiny venues.
