(you know what i mean, i mean i dont mean fit i mean just fit ok)! goodbye![/quote] Yes it's the new look TE stuff (now owned by Peavey) I was a little hesitant at first, not being a huge fan of Peavey bass amps, had a couple over the years and they didn't do it for me. However I think they've given the guys at TE a free hand to produce an update of the classic TE products and I think they've done a good job. The 1210 is pretty heavy, but my last cab was a GK 410RBH, which was v. heavy. The 1210 isn't as heavy as that, so I'm happy, and it sounds fab, which is even better

Thought you guys might like to see my new TE rig...if you look carefully you might just see that me jeans are flapping! The TE1210 is basically the AH500-12 head plus 2 x 10 speakers in a nice combo. I've teamed it with the compact 15" cab 1518, which means that you can access all 500W....mwha ha ha! OK it's not a great photo, I'll try and get a close up soon, but I thought I'd start with this one....enjoy. [attachment=14510:TE_Rig_JW.jpg]

[quote name='jonthebass' post='301153' date='Oct 7 2008, 11:46 AM']Welcome to Basschat. I'd love to see that old P of yours, don't tease us! Cheers, Jon.[/quote] OK, I hot footed it down to the studio and grabbed these few pics of the P Bass, just for you! I always wanted a bass that was born in the same year as me - hence the 1961. Quite hard to find these days, so I was surprised when I found this one at The Bass Gallery in London. I was even more surprised when my fabulous wife bought it for me It's basically all original apart from the Volume and Tone Knobs - one was missing and the other was pretty well shot, so I got a couple of replacements (I still have the remaining original one of course!) The other non-original part is the thumb rest, it was missing. I found a good quality replica, fortunately the original screws were still in the pickguard so it all ties in nicely. Other than that it has real mojo and sounds PHAT. Enjoy. [attachment=14475:P_Bass_Longshot.jpg][attachment=14476:P_Bass_Body.jpg][attachment=14477:P_Bass_Hea d.jpg]

So settle in and join in the conversation, it always has something to offer. Jake[/quote] Thanks jake I'm new to Alembics, got mine about 4 months ago from the USA Guitar Centre in Tonbridge, nice bunch of guys there - They have a lot of Alembics - they are the sole official importer, they claim. I love the feel of the bass, not to mention the tone Love it!

Patience Grasshopper, only the worthy may see it.... Actually you can see a bit of it in the photo...the white one. I should be able to grab a few photos of it in the next day or so. Watch this space. Cheers

Hi All Just joined and thought I'd make myself known. Will post some pics of my basses soon, once I get round to taking some photos that is! In the meantime you'll just have to imagine what these beauties look like! Fender P Bass (1961), Stingray 20th Anniversary (1996),Ricky 4003MG (2005), Alembic Orion 5 String (2007). As with most of us I guess, I've had plenty of basses in the past and have regretted selling most of them, including various Overwaters, Status Graphites, Fender P & Js and Stingrays - but hey needs must at the time of selling. I now have a small but perfectly formed collection of wonderful instruments. The latest is the 'ray and I'm well pleased with it, gonna be my main gigging bass for years to come I reckon. Love to hear from anyone, lets chat bass!
