Not really. I own BOTH. I *know* the difference. It ain't snobbery...

really if you try both AB'd... tell me I'm *actually* wrong and I'll bow before you.

[quote name='ped' post='390130' date='Jan 24 2009, 12:33 AM']Really? You are being serious? Are you drunk?!

Kind of a sweeping statement I think you will agree. You are entitled to your opinion, of course. But wrong ;0)

If your XT sounds like a broken 60's Hiwatt then may I suggest you aren't using it properly!

Lol one of the specific settings on the bass pod pro is a broken speaker... have you even listened to the pre sets in there? Listen dude, I may be drunk, I may not. but the Aggie 680 beats any semi pro line 6 gear into a cocked hat... Nuff said! You can flame on all you like, but I'm right. even the mods on this site aren't immune from being wrong.


"9D Broken Speaker" useful? You decide...
"8B Sample and Hold" Just because it can, is that a good enough reason to? I'm not convinced
"14C Dopplerganger" Tell me ANYONE ever used this?

As far as I know Line 6 users arent a minority, and as such aren't afforded the protection of law which other minorities enjoy; So the way I see it is "Duck Season, Wabbit Season, Duck Season, Wabbit Season, LINE 6 SEASON!!" Stick to your bedrooms, nerds! And don't worry, I make computer games for a living, so I know what nerdism is all about!......

[quote name='ped' post='390123' date='Jan 24 2009, 12:18 AM']Are you saying all line 6 users play in their bedrooms? I hope not![/quote]

erm yeah I think I am. I have a Bass pod pro XT and I *think* It's currently in the bedroom.


Don't misunderstand... The Line 6 is a great Toy and kind of useful for studio work. But the Aguilar DB680 is a a piece of *real* bass gear. It won't model tha sound like you're using a broken speaker in a 1960's hiwat cab... <ish> and you won't get a plethora of effects, but it does give a great no nonsense sound, which IMO is pure bass tone.

Edited to offend Line 6 users less lol. (I was actually lightheartedy mocking bedroom bassists, not Line6 gear)

These don't seem to be everybodies cup of tea... but for me they are second to none. No shitting, if I didn't have 2 already, I'd buy another... I fact I *so* couldn't live without this gear in my rack that I'm *CONSIDERING A THIRD*! They aren't a smooth modelling, forgiving 'disto' sound, ....they are unforgiving and don't offer any distortion or easy playing, so you gotta *really PLAY* ..but they are warm smooth and offer a natural compression for real players, and when you do play accurately the sound is fan-f***ing-tastic!!!

WARNING! bedroom bassists, stick to your "Line 6 modelling gear", cos this pre takes no prisoners.

Aye you could be right. In which case I apologise. I just figured that if everyone just got on with it it could have happened with no harm done. "Done and done".

[quote name='wesfinn' post='379582' date='Jan 13 2009, 08:07 PM']surely if its all illegal, then everybody could 'club together' to buy the bass so that it would technically be owned by all the people who paid. that would then jsut be a straight sale right? then its up to those people to decide if they want to 'give' the bass to one person and theyre way of doing so is to draw the names out of a hat to make it fair, that way there is no financial profit gained, it's just a bunch of nice people who decided that they would give away theyre share in something.[/quote]

EXACTLY my suggestion on page 6

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='379564' date='Jan 13 2009, 07:54 PM']The name is drawn out of a hat at random. To me that sounds like a lottery with 100/1 chance of “winning”. Anyhow, if I wasn’t “nominated” to keep the bass at my house then I wouldn’t agree to it being kept at anyone else’s [/quote]


Winning? no... the successful applicant would simply be the curator of the communally owned bass. Their extensive responsibility/duties would involve regular waxing and the strings would need to be kept fully articulated on a weekly basis. The charge to the owners for this service could run at £10 per week for 99 weeks after which time the charge would be equal to the value of the bass. Payments could be offset against the value of the bass. and non payment would result in the bass being kept in leiu of payment.

(Edited because I missed the intended humour in the post.)

[quote name='benwhiteuk' post='378419' date='Jan 12 2009, 11:00 PM']I think you've just defined what a lottery is?[/quote]



no. there would be 100 owners. They all just agree that one person keeps it at their house ...indefinitely. How is that a lottery?

So while a lottery might be considered illegal, would there be any legal issues if say, 100 people decided to club together to buy a bass, and the person who got to keep it at their house was randomly drawn from a hat.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29683&hl=aguilar"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=aguilar[/url]

i was looking to use it for recording only but it's more of a gigging pre-amp imho...It is brilliant though and all the functions are very useable.The treble control sounds like it maybe needs a clean otherwise totally as described in Doctor B's thread.If i was gigging i'd definitely be using one of these!
i've had good fun trying it and a/b ing it with another piece i have so i'll cut my losses on the fuel i used goin to pick it up so same price £600 or £620 with the rack case.no offers ,is a BARGAIN!!!
Not really looking for trades.Wouldn't really want to ship it.I'm in the n.west uk/n.e. wales area

too clean for your taste? and what the heck is the other piece you AB'd with...?

[quote name='HarryPotter' post='368730' date='Jan 2 2009, 07:10 PM']Good headphoes I got, I still use my old Senheiser Ovations that I bought in about '96, and they cost a fortune back then.

However it's looking like the Microcube RX - They're £100 at stagebeat right now - that's almost too good to miss.[/quote]



I can't recommend the Bass trainer highly enough to be honest. I have both the CD and the MP3 version, and the CD one is the better sounding of the two, but the MP3 is handier.
You should give thought to this because its a great sounding device and makes silent(almost) practicing so easy. You get lots of effects and a tuner thrown in with the CD player and practice amp facility too. Winner!

hah that foiled me.

I only procratinated cos I'm really looking for another 5 or 6 string at the moment. Otherwise I would've made an offer immediately on this. They don't come around 2 often. My last one was new old stock and cost nearly £900. ...but is worth every penny IMHO.
Good luck with the rest of the sales dude.

I already own 2 DB680's ...and I'm such a fan I'm even considering buying this as a spare for my spare. (no jesting, I could not be without this pre-amp now)

Well, I have to say that I tried this bass, and it was absolutely TREMENDOUS!!! The sound was second to none. I tried it alongside the Dolphin, and the sounds are definitely different. About as different as two Warwick basses could be actually. The Dolphin was in my mind a little reminiscent of a "P" in as much as it has that distinctive sound you *feel* rather than hear.
...But this bass was harder to liken to the sound of any other bass, it was more like an angry Rotwieler that had been pumped up on steroids, then poked continuously for an hour with sticks. It growled like no bass I've ever heard before. And I own a few basses all of which are supposed to be growly (and indeed they are) but they are nothing compared to this bass.

...And to that end I ask you Waldo, what sort of cash price are you looking at? (If you can be tempted to sell outright)

I don't care for the shape of the Corvette, but the sound of this one, alone makes using it worthwhile. Plus, as they go, this is such a great example. The photo is good but the wood is so striking in the flesh (as it were). I dunno if I should be helping to sell this bass, since I may be interested myself in the New Year (once I get paid again) ....so I'm gonna be quiet now.

Ditto!

There are two kinds of people in the world ....ones with LOTS of bass gear and others who get regular sex at home.

<I suspect there might be two other groups as well, ones that get all the bass gear and all the sex (but I believe them to be mythical creatures, with stars in their hair, and riding unicorns, probably)
...And the other group of unfortunates are bereft of gear AND sex. yes, pity them....
I think they're called 'Trainspotters' or 'Students', but I never actually saw such a wretched creature in the flesh.>

Well... Therein lies the secret. I don't have a money sink. (Wife/Girlfriend/Significant other) 99.5% of my income is spent on the necessities in life, like bass gear and alcohol, ...and I squander the rest on food and rent.
