Bass Fumbler

Don't forget young Jan Palak, he burnt a torch against the Warsaw Pact!

+ three for Rattus. Also consider Euroman Cometh by JJ Burnel, fantastic grindy bass lines, guaranteed to rattle your speakers!

Just got a scratchplate off Gary, great service. Would deal with him again.

I play a Jazz with a pick all the time and I also play close to the bridge and have never had a problem catching the bridge pick up.

Just received the GK MB500 Fusion head off Jack. I ordered it on Friday & received it today, with a bank holiday in between! Excellent service, a pleasure to do business with! I'll try it out tonight. Thanks Jack. Cheers Andy

Just bought a Seymour Duncan Studio bass Compressor off Pablo. Paid on Saturday, received today! Great service & communication, I would buy off him again if the opportunity arises. Andy

[i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"I'm in the same camp as you, bub - GASing for a Jazz for a while. And here's the killer, I just missed a MIM Fender on a local Facebook group that went for £300. Could have easily viewed before buying - ruddy typical."[/font][/color][/i] [i][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Was that the black jazz in Leeds. I was very nearly tempted by that too, even though I've got a fantastic MIM Jazz & don't need another one! [/font][/color][/i][i][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]I've just gotta keep telling myself that! GAS is a terrible affliction![/color][/font][/i]

Thanks Karl, I'll bear it in mind.Hopefully I'll take delivery tomorrow or Saturday.

Thanks Frank, that's what I thought, but better to check first. Cheers Andy

I am about to buy a Genz Benz Streamliner 600 amp, which I am going to pair with my two Fender [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Rumble 1 x 12 v3 cabs. The cabs are rated at 500 watts program and 250 watt continuous at 8 ohm.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I just wanted to confirm that they will be compatible and I'm not going to fry anything.[/font][/color]

E Mailed John on the 20th December, ordered a loom for my Squier Jazz on the 22nd and received said loom on the 24th! Fantastic service. I'll be ordering another one fairly soon.

New loom ordered from Kiogon!

I know what you mean about ebay but I found it by accident. Would this circuit be one you would be able to provide Kiogon and would it give the bass more oomph, for want of a better term? Also, what would the cost be. Thanks

I have a Squier Vintage Modified 77 Jazz Bass which has a bit of a thin sound compared with my Mexican Jazz. I have seen this loom on Ebay, which look interesting.

Buzzcocks tonight at Fibbers, York!

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I think the MB200 would suit you perfectly. It's very versatile eq wise and it sounds like to would be loud enough for your purposes. I have one that i use as a backup (to a GK Fusion 550) but i play guitar in a band with another member here - he uses the MB200 up against 2 not hugely loud guitarists playing punk/70s stuff and it never suffers in the mix[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I am that other member! I use the MB200 with two Fender Rumble 112 v3's so I'm getting the full 200 watts, rather than the 140w but when I first go the amp I used it with a 210 cab and it still did the business.[/font][/color]

Thanks, I thought I was right, but when self doubt creeps in, it's hard to believe you're right!

I've posted earlier about having new Fender Rumble cabs and Bonzodog has got me doubting myself about how I connect them up. The Rumble 112 v3 cabs have a speakon socket and a 1/4" jack socket. My amp is a GK MB200, which only has one speakon speaker socket. I connect them up with a speakon to speakon from the amp to the first speaker, then a 1/4" jack to a speakon in the second cab. Is this correct? I think it is but doubt has crept in!

No, I use a speakon to speakon then a 1/4" jack to a speakon daisy chained, which seems to work fine. I'll probably get told I'm doing it wrong but hey ho!

We usually do small to medium pubs, with just the pa for the vocals. There's two guitarists, drums and me and I very rarely go above 9 o'clock on the volume and no ones ever said they can't hear me.
