[quote name='Daz39' timestamp='1487592648' post='3240942'] You need to read Neil's books to get an insight into his character: curmudgeonly, shy, passionate, curious etc. I have The DVD of beyond the lighted stage to watch yet, I did enjoy their tour DVDs though. 'We couldn't have done it without the soup!' [/quote] Yeah, I've read 'em all. The shy / passionate thing I get, but the whole 'Every show is the ultimate test of endurance and ability...' mantra is pretty tedious. You're a drummer, man.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1487589036' post='3240889'] The more recent 'Time stand still' is a different story though, actually quite sad to watch if you're a die hard fan. [/quote] Yep, it certainly is. Neil came across as even more self-important than I expected in that.

...Beyond the Lighted Stage is on Netflix. Well worth a watch for committed and casual fans.

Martin will let you try the YI200 if you pop along to the workshop. Take your cabs.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1487356069' post='3239310'] I've spent good money on lightweight gear and have convinced myself (I didn't take much convincing) that I am totally happy with my class D amp and neo cab sound. It is entirely possible that a 60lb amp and a 100lb cab might give me a sound that I prefer very slightly, yes. [/quote] It's not that black-and-white. There are various shades of weight inbetween...

[quote name='Davo-London' timestamp='1487204442' post='3238098'] IS NO-ONE LISTENING? I said that I don't like flats. I have nickel rounds on any bass with strings! HOWEVER, even though I don't like anything about flats (feel, tension, sound) I do like the 750Ns. Most of the posts here rant about their pet hates with flats. I agree with all of them - that's the whole point. Am I going mad ... [/quote] Thread title fail.

The IV's are actually rarer than the V's... they were built more recently, and the hardware was a bit more refined. I loved mine, but I just fancied a change.

Classic flats - they belong on a P. They're definitely warmer and less clangy than Chromes (well, as clangy as flats ever get), but loads going in in the mids. They feel smooth once they wear in, and they're not too stiff or floppy. I would still be using them, but I currently use GHS Precision flats which are a bit cheaper, and IMO almost identical.

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1486924115' post='3235582'] Now I'm looking for a non class-D that doesn't weigh a ton. [/quote] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-handbox-bass-amplification-new-to-the-uk/"]You're welcome.[/url]

Mine will probably outlive me.

...and here's my contribution to the thread. This one drives me MENKLE.

Definitely give the Maruszczyks a look...

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1486643197' post='3233464'] Karen Carpenter was a drummer apparently. I didn't know that. [/quote] Not just A drummer. She was usually THE drummer. A bloody good one, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ie1WWWOxhMs

Joe Walsh? Cheese? :-0 For me, I've got a real soft spot for 70s LA cheese. Afternoon Delight, Let Your Love Flow, that kind of thing. Fab.

My two OBBM cables with mute-y jacks have lasted for years and years.

In that case, definitely check it out :-)

You haven't given much info about your requirements so technically you're going to get a list of amps that people own :-) but, I recommend you check out the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/282884-handbox-bass-amplification-new-to-the-uk/"]HandBox R-400[/url]. It's a great BG head, and I'm aware of at least one DB user who loves it.

LOL @ Fender pt. 2: http://www.pmtonline.co.uk/fender-fsr-limited-edition-59-american-vintage-stratocaster-natural They're trippin' big time.

Here's another Q4n clip from last night. Murky lighting, and I've had to crop it to cut out a pint glass :-) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DgAoBXyxtY[/media]

Who's custodian of Duck's '59 these days?

Quite... By the way, Leszek's mentioned that there's only one R-400 left, and it'll be the last one for a while while he concentrates on the development of his tube & Class D heads.

Ooof... I don't need a 100w tube head, but... I think I need one.

LOL @ Fender: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/299615-fender-noir-redline-precision-bass Just do some decent colours and stop mucking about, man.
