Chevins are the bomb The A500 will bridge 700w into 8 ohms all day. The A1000 will bridge 1200W into 8ohms happily. They really are all that! [quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1317752604' post='1394196'] Chevin research A series, hands down the best lightweight amp iv ever used for bass, so loud i was banned from using it at several venues! A1000 is 2 x 600w @4ohms A500 is 2 x 350w @4ohms (only 1u rack space) you should be able to get one for that money or less used easily ....... if you can find one just seen this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHEVIN-RESEARCH-A1000-AMPLIFIER-/360398668675?pt=UK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL&hash=item53e96f4383"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53e96f4383[/url] [/quote]

There was more groove than a ploughed field.

Keys, guit, kit and The Great Man (which I thinks is how we should refer to him from now on). 3 piece horns came on for a couple, harmonica on a couple. It is just mates jamming. The vibe is that good.

Fiesta Red P. Epifani 2xsomething, 10" I'm guessing but it is dark and without geeking it to the max and walking to the front I cannot tell. Obv at the end I will. He has sunburst P as well. Bob Marley, Fela Kuti, Tony Williams covers and other stuff. Hamish Stewart on vocals for "Who's that girl". This has been Owen at Ronnie Scott's for Basschat.co.uk

It would be better still if I was not sitting behind a pillar which is obscuring my view of the great man.

Break after first set. It is proper.

Interpreting a Pino solo gig for a forum full of bass geeks. No pressure there! I will report back [quote name='Linus27' timestamp='1317830554' post='1395133'] Damn and blast you lucky git. Please let us know how it is, what he plays etc [/quote]

I am killing time in the vicinity before going in at 6.30. I am tragically excited I have also managed to get to the Gallery, cross Dingwall off my GAS list (a fine instrument, just not for me) but unexpectedly add Alleva to it. It has been, and is going to be, a good day. If anyone else is going to be there pm me your mob and we can......... um ........ say "hi".

My DB needs are met by that thing in my avatar, and I have an NS5 and and Arco EUB so I am fully covered for the DB esque tone. I like the way my hands sit playing vertically and I also like the curvature of the fingeboard for my right hand. I like the idea of a 41/42" scale length for the fat strings. I'm sure a bottom F# would work quite happily on an EUB but the thought of a fretted one is intriguing. It would be a different flavour.

[quote name='neilb' timestamp='1317666392' post='1393036'] I would. [/quote] [quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1317669842' post='1393132'] I hate her recorded music, always over produced and noisy but live she is something else. I love her when she is singing with a live band, wow just wow. And yes I totally would!! [/quote] Oh, please, do we have to?

Resale value? Not always an issue, obv, but it is pretty low.

I have a Seymour Duncan MM5 replacement that I could flog you.

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1317286404' post='1388938'] You could look for a second hand Hohner Steinberger clone and put it on a stand - would probably work out cheaper. [/quote] I am thinking about the curvature of the fingerboard as well. I do realise that I did not put this in the original post

Anyone tried/own one of these? There are a lot of things that make me more comfortable on an upright instrumental position. The idea of frets as an option is attractive. http://thinkns.com/instruments/omnibass.php
