    [quote name='Legion' timestamp='1391341331' post='2355897'] All round amazing bass. Best fretless I've ever played to be honest. The body is a single piece of mahogany with a stunning koa top. The neck is quartersawn, flamed birdseye maple. The fingerboard and bridge are made of lovely striped tiger ebony. Weight is a ridiculous 5lbs13oz. These seem to be pretty rare over here, and if you want one new you will have to get in line at Bassdirect, wait a few months, and then pay about £3500 for one in this spec (Koa, matching headstock + fitted case) Looking for £1800 shipped (no trades sorry). I'll be very sad to see this go [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycN9x_5MqHQ[/media] [/quote] Looks just like the sort of bass guitar Ovation would like to make Seriously though, stunning sounding instrument

    [quote name='doctorbass' timestamp='1407583215' post='2521991'] I had the same set up. i used the head with various cabs, and with the 15E it sounded very close to a B-15. Fantastic tone!! [/quote] It is pretty lovely for sure, and yes, B-15 can be done pretty easily as well as a whole lot more (and at about 5 times the volume). Head only now for sale and I'm open to sensible offers. I can probably post it at a push and, within reason, at buyer's risk (by that I mean that I will do everything I can to ensure that it gets to you in one piece including packing in a large wooden crate).

    What a lovely looking rig, and I've no doubt a pretty impressive sounding one also. Would that be a cab in one hand, head in the other, and bass on the back job Stu? C PS sorry to hear you're moving on, life is a journey after all

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1407586485' post='2522043'] How come you keep on selling all the rigs I want? This, the PJB and the Ampeg! Maybe I want too much or maybe you have been sent to tempt me! [/quote] I am the devil Dunc . Now sold so temptation is out of your way Chris

    [quote name='Mike' timestamp='1407231394' post='2518486'] I'd love to check it out at some point Chris - not sure when I can get to Canterbury though. I'll check the diary. What's your availability during the day on a weekday? [/quote] Hi Mike, I'm on leave for a while from Monday 11th so could certainly arrange something in the daytime with a bit of prior notice. Cheers Chris

    [quote name='TheG' timestamp='1407198508' post='2518352'] I tried out 40 basses when looking for a new one and one of these basses came in the top 2 best for me. [/quote] Thanks G, it was reading similar comments that prompted me to buy the Concerto, and it certainly doesn't disappoint.

    [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1407097084' post='2517342'] Stingray button pushed, graphite button pushed, modulus button pushed, is there any reason other than the wife why I shouldn't buy this bass? [/quote] No

    [quote name='roonjuice' timestamp='1406929802' post='2516097'] These amps really are the Cadillac of valve power sections. ANY pre u clag in front of it will sound amazing. They also make OUTSTANDING Hifi amps. Hell, I'm considering buying it so I can have 2 of em in stereo for my Hifi at home!!! [/quote] Ha ha, living next door to that would be fun

    [quote name='mxm' timestamp='1406976155' post='2516362'] I guess this used to be mine too - masses of power and sounded great paired up with either an SVT pre or (slightly mentally) an EBS valve drive into a Marshall VBC412. Sold it to fund SVT Classic, as you do. Brilliant bit of kit. [/quote] It sounds pretty lovely with an SVT pre. I also ran a Tech 21 VT Bass into it and it sounded, well, huge. It takes even a passive bass quite well but am looking to run an East preamp straight in to see whether it happens. If so, it may be staying with me

    My V4B allows me to play in East Sussex even when I'm in Kent. My SVT-300 allows me to play in Wiltshire from the same location. They are bothn frighteningly loud and having once been foolish enough to plug in a bass to the SVT running into 2x15s and turn it up whilst only standing a few feet away, I cannot conceive of a situation in which you'd ever need to wind it up in anger, not unless you were on a very big stage. I have no idea where the manufacturers wattage war started, but having gigged with 30w tube amps back in the day, and having returned to gigging about 10 years back and seeing bass amps rated at 1000w - 5 times the power of the PAs we used to use - I couldn't believe how loud things must have got. But they weren't. IME many of the higher rates non-tube amps above 400 or so watts are both underpowered and almost unusable beyond a certain level anyway. When I say unusable I mean the tone deteriorates dramatically as the volume goes up beyond a certain level. Most tube amps just keep going, OK, they get grittier depending on tubes and signal etc, but the tone is generally usable all the way up. Anyway, short answer to the question is yes

    +1 for mics, combo versus separates is a non issue, it's the quality of signal chain that matters

    [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1406841478' post='2515307'] I forgot to mention moses, I have heard some conflicting reviews on their necks but I have seen them come up on eBay from time to time. I do fancy a modulus and can't help thinking that they could well be a good investment if held onto for a few years! [/quote] I mentioned Moses as the brand not to buy - for the reasons you mention - not as a consideration (it's the brand I couldn't recall in my first post)
  23. Beedster
    Moses
  24. Beedster
    Status and Modulus are both outstanding if installed professionally/competently. There us a US brand to be avoided at all costs buy the name escapes me

    Hard to see on my phone but is that a rosewood board? If so, nice!
