Practice amp heaven 

Really enjoyed it, great production, nice bass tone (just right for the song), great playing and a cracking tune

Nice cover, seldom one too. I enjoyed and you bass did sound fat..👍

Where are you getting 'My Sound' from?

From the Thunderfunk very shortly 

I decided to gain my own real world experience and pulled the trigger on the fine looking Thunderfunk in the classifieds here. Looking forward to it immensely…

I found this one mis-labelled in the video notes. Recorded on a zoom by the looks.. it sound bloody massive here..

Agree. Sometimes I want clean and uncoloured, sometimes I want the amp to impart something extra. In this aspect the Glock can do everything whereas the Trace may be a little more limited … hence no decisions yet

I really do fancy trying a Glock. The level of quality and no compromise approach sells it to me, but I´m used to amps that colour a bit hence the thread, so your comment about the Glock can do everything is kinda what I´m wondering about. And I´m really curious about the Thunderfunk on here too. The eq looks really versatile.. I just wonder will these amps give me thick, warm,  if I want it?

I get it its a very subjective thread and the only answer is already stated. Buy what you like. But of course it's often not possible to try, especially used. 

Sounds like buy it, try it, move it on if not, is the best bet..

I don't know where you've read that stuff,

just talk bass and other forums. Just punters putting in their two penneth

Can i get some real world experience or advice?

I'm in the market for a new (used) amp. My bass amp experience i can count on one hand but include Mesa tube amp, Ashdown, Old peavy SS amp, Tecamp and Markbass. I think all of these coloured my sound providing varying degrees of warmth, fattnes etc. What i am wondering about is how amps which are so called HiFi amps, or are designed to deliver clean sound only or 'the sound of your bass' actually sound and work compared to Amps which are designed to colour you sound? Do they 'suck out the vintage' from old P basses (as i have read), are they only good for Soap bar basses (as i have read) or not that suitable for this genre or better for this or that. Can a decent EQ section warm things thicken things up? Do they need to be warmed up? Just throw a tube pre amp or other pedal infront? 

For me, i enjoy my vintage basses and have a couple of boutique basses with my current collection pretty much covered by P basses, J bass, Yam BB and a stingray and TKS 112 cabs. I play usually guitar based bands of various forms but pretty much rockish based. My skills are somewhere in the intermediate area (no pro here) and play mostly pubs and gig venues usually through the PA.. There are a couple few intriguing amps for sale on here and locally to me that are 'clean amps' such as thunderfunk, Glocks, Aggi AG700 Epifani, Eden..  I really fancy any of these, but then i get cold feet about it and think i need a Mesa Walkabout or Ampeg or Ashdown or simillar.

Any thought please? Real world for someone at my level... 

Cheers

Jay

I´m really intrigued by it, but not a single decent video I can find. I would love to see a demo of the EQ and the other features...

Any thoughts on a price for just the head?

Are these class D?

Cheers Jay, hopefully not long for you now with the R-400.

Have to say that's a nice bass collection you have there. Peavey and a Gibson (Ripper or Grabber ???) What's the one at the front with the angled pick up. ?

Dave

Ah.. my secret weapion. It’s a Peavey T20 with the Peavy super ferrite pick up. The bass isn’t the best in the world, but the pickup is 💪🏻

Anyone have any R400 news? 
I’m experiencing a bit of radio silence from Leszek at the mo’. 
 

At last Dave, great news 👍💪🏻

My R400 stage animal sounds sublime at low volume too!

My R400 sounds great at really low practice/front room volume and achieves a lovely valve overdriven sound at any level.

It's comments like this that make me gaze off wistfully into the distance.. I've been on a 4 week waiting list since April for an R400.... getting close now though

Fair do's but when you receive a new amp at home and you have neighbours both sides, there's not a lot of opportunity to crank it!

And who’s not gonna plug in a new amp immediately? 

It's gonna be interesting to hear feed back on the mid control and frequency selection options. 

Assumption that its an active mid control, center flat cut/boost.

240 useful for boosting

600 useful for cutting although I reckon the previous 1k is a cut sweet spot for Jazz and P basses..

Mine is on route to delivery depot overnight and guess what ? Parcelforce are on strike tomorrow. 

How lucky can i be. I wait 3-4 weeks for an amp and the day it will get delivered there's a strike on.

Unbelievable, just unbelievable.

Its times like this i just want to cut my bloomin wrists and have done with it. 

Dave 

 

AAww Dave, we share your pain.. unbelievable

Congratulations sir, it certainly looks the bomb 

A stonking bass.. I sold mine recently 🙄

Of all my basses, it was the G3 that my band mates commented on most... In the rehearsal space it was the one bass that (i'm gonna say it) cut through the mix best.

It doesn’t get much better than a Läkland neck. Looks beautiful. GLWS

Hmmm Red n Rose… one of my favs. I love these basses too. I got a 71P and I’ve back to backed with a Nate Mandel. they got the neck spot on.
