WHUFC BASS

I'm not a fan of Korn at all or of Fieldy's sound to be honest but this really is a playable bass. I'm going to get a pre-amp for mine at some point and improve the sound.

I'm still on a hunt for a 5 stirng fretted that I like and I loved my trb6.[/quote] Hmmm.... I love this bass, espcially for playing live with. Its got a huge sound so I don't think I'll be shifting it for the foreseeable future. If for some reason I do, I'll let you know. oh and have a free bump too...

I've got exactly the same bass and agree with you about the stock pre-amp. It definitely needs changing. I bought mine for the same price advertised here so with the new pre-amp this sounds like a bargain. Its a great bass to play, really comfortable neck too.

I'll definately have this if its still available. Whereabouts in North London are you?

Imagine my disapointment when I didn't get one Nice to meet you mate, the rig sounds great. The neighbours are going to hate me very soon!

I've got a TRB5 with Nordstrand Phat Stacks and Audere pre-amp. Got it for £300. Hated it when I first got it mainly because of the surfboard neck. Now its my favourite live playing bass and sounds absolutely killer.

PM'd.

He's selling the amp as he's kind of come to the end of the road with it, been using it for over 10 years so is looking for a new sound...[/quote] Funny that because I heard the same thing from a death metal guitarist who's band uses our rehearsal studios. He'd gone for a Peavey JSX after the 5150 as he said it was more versitile. [quote name='tombboy' post='503689' date='Jun 2 2009, 12:25 PM']I think Eddie has a warped sense of humour... the combo weighs a bloody tonne and they gave you one poxy little handle on the top!!! [/quote] You are not kidding there. Mine weighs an absoloute ton and if it wasn't for the great sound I'd have got shot of it ages ago - but I love the sound so much. Hence the reason I want to get a 5150 head. [quote name='ashevans09' post='503789' date='Jun 2 2009, 01:54 PM']Damn straight. Moreso than Rectifiers IME.[/quote] I never got on with the Mesa stuff at all for guitar. The 5150 has a more creamy distortion as well as being warmer sounding. [quote name='Kongo' post='504017' date='Jun 2 2009, 05:24 PM']LOL actually that was the downside when my guitarist went for one...We use clean sounds too and well...the Peavey only does grit...Distortion even on clean haha! So he bought an Orange Rockerverb. :)n Unfortunatly...this amp BLEW my bass rig appart...it just couldn't keep up...So I had to change mine aha...still am! Damn Orange amp...LOUD! Great if you want the grit but it's worth saying that modern metal bands do use clean for sections too.[/quote] Burn the heratic! Clean just ain't mean ha ha! Never really heard much of the Orange stuff but what I have reminded me of the Marshall type crunch sound which I just don't like one bit. I know they are legendary amps and so many bands have used them but I've used JCM 800s, 900s, DSL2000s, TSL2000s and never really got anything out of them that comes remotely close to the 5150. I won't even metion Marshalls, solid state stuff which to me just sounds horrible.

[quote name='Basszilla' post='503205' date='Jun 1 2009, 07:19 PM']No worries Ci, looks like it's sold pending now anyway. Yeah recorded the entire album with the 5150, they are great amps. In fact i've done a bit of recording with it recently on bass and it sounds evil! Too big to fit to my pedal board tho otherwise i would of had it The combos are supposed to be beautiful sounding (less wattage yeah?) wouldn't mind hearing one of those in action.[/quote] The 5150 is a monster amp. Yeah the combo is 60watts which belive me is plenty loud. I swapped the stock Peavey speakers for Celestion GK12-100 and a Celestion Classic Lead. Its the best amp for punk / metal / hardcore that I've ever heard or played through. The only thing that comes remotely close is an Engl. The clean sounds ain't fantastic but who the f*** wants clean guitar??

Them Series 6 heads are very underatted. I am finding myself being drawn back to Trace Elliot over all the new gear that's coming out. Its the one brand you know you'll get a decent sound out of.
