      I'm not sure Andy.........  All I know is, on earwigging some of the more senior bassists on here, the consensus seems to be, weight assists tone........

      It's a myriad of parameters..........  I had a Genz Benz Focus 115 with a 210 on top before..... now it's 2 112's and that alone is a life changer...!

      Glad you like them my friend, my loss is your gain, they are fab cabs and I cried a few tears when they left my owner ship.

      Please don't tell us you are on the quest for extra heft...?

      Heeheehee

  2. Some people have style and money..... Some people have no style and no money...... Some people have style but no money...... Some people have money but no style..... Discuss?
  3. Nice.......... Love the blanket under it too....... GLWTS
  4. If I were you I'd buy a VM 1977 Squier Jazz......... I had one and it was so light and lovely to play.... It had all the qualities my 1977 Fender had except the price. The necks are lovely and the block inlays are really nicely done.... Then, when you're ready to sell the world alight, I'd pick up a pair of EMG pickups for it... they're active but require no routering or mucking about. They come with the control plate and cost about £200. It will sound amazing and you won't look back. Happy new year.....
  5. Happy new years guys and gals........ I was watching a video with Bobby Vega and I then stumbled across this site............ Anybody got any of this new gear?
  6. That would make sense........ I bought it from Will, a session bassist who used to work at Bass Direct.
  7. Anybody fancy going halves on a pair of DB112's?

  8. I'm going to look him up right now.......! This site is an education.........
  9. It's got to be In For The Kill or Bandolier by Budgie...... Then the jazz......... anything by John Coltrane.......
  10. I'm with you with Automaton...... Great album.....
  11. Thank The Lord!!!!!!!!!
  12. On top of that, I got a new flat mate in the late 80's and he was like "You're alright Chewie, but you need to get into this....." and he dropped me a couple of Budgie albums. Bandolier & In For The Kill......... Man, that was a seminal moment. Burke Shelley's voice and his P-bass........ Life changer......
  13. I was mad into Talking Heads..... still am now......... the movie of Stop Making Sense was the first production which made me cry with joy. I didn't know what was going on........!! It still gets me on my feet now. I know it's not a seminal bass album but It changed my life. Corny but true.
  14. Totally agree with Penthouse and Pavement............
  15. Definitely BSSM by RHCP although I also love the underestimated One Hot Minute......... Emergency On Planet Earth Betty Davis and They Say I'm Different by Betty Davis.......... Dad Man Cat by Corduroy Fantastic by Wham! I still can't accept that's Andrew Ridgeley!! Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables Anything with Tina Weymouth........
  16. You must be upsizing?
  17. Mother of God........!!! I would love to have a little twang on that.......!!!
  18. That jazz is the Don.....
  19. 1991 Warwick SS1 delivered today.  Can I wait till the 25th?

      2 days, 11 hours and 30 mins to go....and counting.

      Houston, we have a problem...

  20. That'll be you told, then. Ha ha..........! I really felt that crackle of tension too.....! Perhaps they had the same girlfriend??
  21. Cheers GuyR, That's good to hear...... In a nice way........ Actually there was a Belgian guy on here telling me it is a tell tale sign of originality. A bit like shrinking scratch plates... Just more scary!!! I took it to a guy in Bristol called Martin Bailey......... he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and reckoned I had the relief too tight..... I wonder if the position of the neck to the body might need a fart of adjustment?
  22. Cheers BassBod, I'm gonna give him a bell.....
  23. Thanks for all the info fellas.........
  24. Maybe they didn't prime the wood before the paint job?
