Ash just sent me pics of his 400+ headcase Matamp made for him. Looks awesome, I think I may keep my 400+ now Few things I'd change, gold grills on the side as well as the top over the fans and 2 top handles and finally mine would be red I think Ash is doing this as well, but I'd remove the front handles on the 400+ make it just look like a normal bass amp not a rackmount head.

Yeah will likely do it after Bassday so anyone that is local can get another go on them before going to Matamp andthose that couldn't make Bassday will get to try it all out as well. Cheers

Whilst I dig Motown for the music, I'm not looking to sound that way. If we could arrange something in Manc perhaps around bassday weekend that would be cool, but it's competely upto you guys...I'm not the one lugging around bass cabs [/quote] Well I have my own practice room so whenever you want to come round just let me know. Like I say we haven't compared our 2x12's so can't comment on which would be best for you.

His is made to be more vintage sounding, more wadding inside to give him that motown thump. Mine is a bit more what you put in you get out so I can get the thump, with the right style bass and amp. We've not compared them side by side though, I'm sure it can be arranged if Manchester is close, still wanting to try my main rig with 2 8x10's

Anyone is welcome to try any of my 3 Matamp cabs whenever they want, just shoot me a PM.

Hm, just a random musing, but did your GT200 come with Speakon jacks as standard?[/quote] Yes Speakons as standard one per impedance tap

I have 4 amps and 3 cabs I use in various combination for rigs. Our Innocence Lost Rig Matamp 4x10 Matamp 8x10 Alembic F-1X Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 Mesa Boogie Strategy 400 Practice/Studio Rig Dynacord MV15 Matamp 2x12 Small Gig Rig Simms Watt PA100 Matamp 2x12 Medium Gig Rig Simms Watt PA100 Matamp 4x10 Medium - Large Gig Simms Watt PA100x2 Matamp 8x10 (I can take both heads and power each side of the cab with an individual head) I play with a few people and dep occasionally but my main gigging setup is the Our Innocence Lost one.

Hey man feel free to bring it round to mine and I'll give it a crack if you want. Mine did it straight out of the box. Cheers

Why not get like an old Sound City 200 and get a local (decent) tech to turn it into exactly what you want since all/most of the parts are there for that Hiwatt amp. Also I believe it's quite hard to get the Hiwatt style amps to distort and they just have headroom for days, but this is only what guitarists tell me. Or buy my 400+ Cheers

Get it or give me their number Looks in great condition, all of these were hand so some differences in the build could be apparent, I don;'t think a different scratchplate would make a huge difference, they are so unique and rare these days people are just happy to find them. I'm sure they are going for more than 1k usd on US Ebay

Or laughing at Ampeg who might get peeved

I'll be there, I'm very unmissable unless I get a hair cut

[quote name='chris_b' post='643653' date='Nov 2 2009, 05:54 PM']The top cabs look like 8x8's.[/quote] They are rebadged SWR Henry's

Octaver sounds a little off on Sledgehammer. I want to hear you play the I wish bass line over Wild Wild West now

If you do that I'm not even bothing to learn the tracks I couldn't look more different from Tony Levin if I tried

Matamp will build/recover head enclosures, the more work you do the less they charge you so if you remove all the tolex and old glue which he will tell you how to do, then it will be quite cheap, but you'd have to call for a quote.

How long did the wife allow you to have it in the lounge like that for?
