Both now sold

I would do a search on Talkbass for posts by KJung relating to Schroeder as he has extensive experience with them. They're still something of a rarity over here.

The amps he always recommends to partner the 115+L are Markbass, which he describes as an ideal match due to the voicing of the amp and the EQ points. I imagine the 112+L has a similar voicing to the 115+L

+1000 What a great song. It never fails to send shivers down my spine

[quote name='lonestar' post='978253' date='Oct 5 2010, 12:56 PM']Thanks for sharing this.
What a great rhythm section. For me Steve Hackett leaving was the final nail in Genesis' coffin[/quote]

I agree. I think Hackett was a greater loss creatively than Gabriel. You can definitely hear how Tony Banks becomes the dominant influence on ATTWT but it's still a very good record. There are half a dozen cracking songs on there and listen to the fretless playing on Undertow. A great example of how a bassline can make a song.

Phil Collins takes a lot of undeserved flak for the decline of Genesis. Trespass and the rest of their unreleased material from around the same time sounds all quite bland and uninspired to my ears, with the exception of The Knife and White Mountain. The classic Genesis lineup was born when Hackett and Collins joined. Selling England by the Pound was a quantum leap forward after Trespass.

Listen to what Genesis produced post Gabriel compared to what Gabriel himself produced after leaving the band and I think it's obvious who the main creative influences were.

Gaf bought my Berg AE210. Very nice chap and easy to deal with.

LMIII still available

Same bass an'all. It certainly does sound good.

I'm not replacing it with anything. I'm sorry to say that I'm giving up playing live, at least for a while. I've just become so uninspired by the band scene around here and I've got a lot of other stuff on, and at the moment I just can't dredge up the motivation to carry on with it.

If I could find a band playing music that I could get more enthusiastic about, like something a bit funky or even some decent originals then I may feel differently but everyone seems to be playing the same old guitar driven pap and I find it all rather tedious.

Agree totally from a bass players POV, but these polls are always just a popularity contest at the point in time of the poll, and JP played in a genre that never really entered the consciousness of the wider record buying and poll voting public.

Replied

What a great looking rig. Much better than the normal nondescript boxes, and I love the look of those chromed Ashdowns

Bump for LM3

Bump

It did indeed and thanks for the reference

These don't need a lot of introduction.

The Berg is a great cab, very clear and modern sounding. I've used this on it's own for practise and small gigs and it's more than loud enough or stack it with a second one for the ultimate rig of doom. Cover included.

It's in immaculate nick with no chips or dents. It's rated at 500watts, 8 ohms and weighs only 40lbs. £475

The Markbass is less than a year old. Pretty much the same as the LM2 but has an improved limiter and a very useful level control for the DI out and jolly snazzy yellow knobs. Immaculate condition. Complete with original box, GigSkinz bag that has lots of useful compartments for leads and other bits and bobs, mains lead and heavy duty Speakon to Speakon cable. £425.

Collection preferred but I can meet halfway within reason

Bump

So is it finished yet? These sound very interesting

I bought this new within the last year. It's had very little use and is in new condition. It's boxed with an external PSU and a good quality patch cable.

It's got a whole load of effects and and a stage tuner but the most useful feature and what I bought it for is the drum machine. It's not programmable but has enough different beats and rhythms to provide endless inspiration for home noodling.

[quote name='iconic' post='931180' date='Aug 20 2010, 06:00 PM']ohh dear I thought I had these Sterlings sorted, thinking Sterlings were lower cost Musicmans?

I don't use eBay at all to sell expensive stuff - but I was just about to list a Concept 2 Rower, which should go for about £750 - £800, when I thought I would check the fees.

Pretty much the same here. I only use Gumtree or Freeads ( or whatever they're called now)

Although you don't get the same instant exposure as ebay the ad stays in the listings for longer so someone searching for that particular item will find it. The last few high value items I've sold have all sold via Gumtree for the asking price and have been collected without attracting the tyrekickers that seem to inhabit ebay.

[quote name='Roob' post='927791' date='Aug 17 2010, 05:42 PM']I had this idea in my head that by shoving twice as much power into the cab it would shift more air, this is of course not the case .[/quote]

Actually it does but probably not as much as you think.

Is the LH500 not a single channel amp? So what you're looking at are two speaker connections in parallel, not two separate outputs. So plugging them both into one cabinet although harmless would also be pointless. They are there so you can connect two cabs to the back of your amp and get the full output because the amp would see a 4 ohm load (provided they were both 8 ohm cabs).

I'm very interested in trying this too so add me to the list.

I'm surprised they haven't been assimilated by the Borg* collective yet

* Gibson/Fender/Loud etc.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='902377' date='Jul 22 2010, 09:26 PM']In which areas were they better built than the EB?[/quote]

I only compared them to the Ray they had hanging in the shop but the finish on the Honeyburst Ray34 was more attractive then the Honeyburst on the Stingray. The grain showed through better whereas on the Stingray the finish looked quite opaque and dull and the woodgrain didn't show as well.

It also played better but again that could just be down to the setup on those particular basses.
