I've had one for a while and do like it. I wouldn't say it's any better than a Comfort Strapp myself but each to their own. Strangely I'm moving towards leather again

The TC RH450 has a great sound, not at all thin and not at all 'puny' despite the 450 watts (its only a number). You probably need to try it. TalkBass have a long thread with overwhelming positive comment. Peter

Hiya Mark If you run two cabs in 'apparent series' i.e. one cable to the amp, 2nd cable from 1st cab to 2nd it is actually a parallel connection i.e. two 8 ohm cabs give 4 ohms. The 1st lead will take all the load too so needs to be decent and OBBM cables do it with ease I'm sure. Peter

In my opinion if you buy the head w/o the pedal you're losing out on the versatility of the unit to a large extent. Not only is the tuner much less user friendly but the tonal variations and level of tubesim are either there or not there. The gigbag is good value too. The cabs? Meh.

I'd say it's nowt like Line 6 gear in that it does a good job of being a great conventional solid state amp with no 'digital signature' and a very healthy 450 watts indeed. It replaced my LMII with ease. I'm not a fan of Line6 'simulations' btw. The tone is fairly warm and when you take into consideration a great tuner, multi band compressor, useable tube sim, 4 band semi-parametric and with the pedal 3 easily accessible pre-sets I think it's actually great vfm too.

I want a BMW R1300GS for a fiver but I don't think I'll be lucky

Unjustified? Mind me asking why?

I can only see one bass in that 1st picture Rich, it's a Status it's got 5 strings and a phenolic board. Everything else is outshone

I must admit to thinking that Yamaha had a completely flawed marketing strategy with the 'Super BB' range at the show. Don't get me wrong I love Yamaha gear but a bolt on passive BB for over £2k just because it's made in Japan?? The standard BB range just aren't different enough and I don't think the name 'Yamaha' on the headstock has ever been that popular however well made these basses are. Expect to see huge discounts as per usual.

Bass Direct have an offer at the mo: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Home.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...lists/Home.html[/url] 2nd hand price is commensurate with new minus a bit Quite high demand I'd guess so not hugely cheap.

I know where you could get a real 'personal' signature bass for a lot less than that Peter. And it's have an asymmetrically profiled neck without the fancy terminology

Yes, once due to the string vibrating against the edge of the bridge. The larger string makes this more likely. Worth a careful look see?

I don't see the 'cluttered' thing. I think it looks quite stunning. I do always think that semi acoustic basses almost always fail to achieve what they set out to. Steve (Tayste_2000) may disagree as I saw him jamming with Yolanda with his double Darkstarred DeArmond

Hiya Alex A mighty welcome fine fella

I've never heard of them. I wonder if you mean D'Addario?

I think that from my perspective all the noise and general cacophony was much, much more than made up for by the event itself, the chance to see people like Yolanda and Nathan play and best of all catching up with old friends. So thanks to Steve, Gary and Pris for an overall great day despite the 'sound control' issues. I feel that if you let the volume put you off going you are missing something very rewarding, that's my thoughts anyway.

In Nigel (Clutterbuck's) defence we were worried that his percussive playing would send us slightly insane as we were next to him. Truth is that wasn't the case, he did a few fairly quiet short demos and one more lengthy one later on on the Enfield stand but he was by no means the culprit at Bass Day. He seemed a bloody nice guy too to be honest. I recognised some guys from last year one of whom was towing his lady around while he slapped everything he could get his hands on. She looked even less impressed than she did last year It wasn't so much the slapping that I and others I've spoken to found oppressive but the combined drone that seems to emanate from everywhere and nowhere. In fact the Bernie slapfest in particular was more subdued that last year, or maybe the drone drowned it out? After about 5 hours I not only had a headache, to be expected, but I also felt physically sick. Maybe it was the classic case of everyone thinking 'ooh it's loud' and turning up their gear to compete, at 30 second intervals?

Martin, did we meet? Sean, nice avatar, I'm jealous.

[quote name='poptart' post='663491' date='Nov 24 2009, 09:43 AM']I also have the bass that Nathan was playing at Bass day for sale at a very special price. See you all again next year ;-) Mark[/quote] Mark That was a fine looking and sounding bass. Someone in the audience was talking to Nathan about 36" scale and yet I believe that the BBNE2 is 34" scale according to the spec sheet. Is that right? Peter
