[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1471591391' post='3114167'] Good work. A lot harder than it looks to speak so well for over 10 minutes! [/quote] It didn't feel anything like 10 minutes when I made it. If I were to take out the bits where I repeat myself, it'd probably be 2 minutes long. :-)

[quote name='xroads' timestamp='1471588432' post='3114149'] The sound in the video brings out the character of the basses very nicely - how did you record this? Using a mic or direct via DI? [/quote] Cheers! It's all from the same source - a camera-mounted Rode Videomic Pro.

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1471455029' post='3113194'] P.S. I should clarify the comment "[i]very to the point demoing[/i]" I mean you're keeping it focused while remaining fairly casual/natural on camera. Good work. Got to say the 'burst pickups are more my thing - they sound glorious. Here's a link to what I think they might be: [url="http://www.bass-parts.com/epages/61038859.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61038859/Products/%22H%C3%84USSEL-PB%20%28ABS%29%22"]These[/url] From [url="http://www.bass-parts.com/epages/61038859.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61038859/Categories/Pickups/%22Haeussel%20Pickups%22"]Here[/url][/quote] Thank you! I've not done anything to camera before. I just concentrated on not talking at my usual breakneck speed. :-) [quote name='Danuman' timestamp='1471472078' post='3113359'] Good god. I didn't need to see that, I really didn't. The blue/green one is absolutely stunning. Just gimme one of those with the same specs as the sunburst and I'm done with GAS. Honestly.[/quote] That's what I thought when I got my first one. But it opened the floodgates. I'd buy another if I had the cash, even though I don't need one... [quote name='cana.dan' timestamp='1471516997' post='3113556'] Great video. Really loved the tone of the LPB one, what flats do you use? [/quote] Cheers! They're GHS Precision Flats - basically, the same as Lakland-branded strings.

Thanks, everyone. [quote name='Marsik' timestamp='1471452752' post='3113173'] Nice vlog! The pronuncination is almost correct [/quote] Ha! I'm willing to be corrected - where am I going wrong? :-)

Hey gang I thought I'd dip my toe into the murky world of being a YouTube (whatever that means). Here's my first attempt of an occasional series - a review of my Maruszczyk Jakes. (YouTube's being a bit funny at the mo, and I'm not sure the embedded video below will display. If not, [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq64dgNIrD8"]here's the link[/url]) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq64dgNIrD8

Ah - just done a bit of digging and there's a suggestion that embedding via <object> has been switched off... iframe needs to be used instead. Seems a bit severe if true..

I spoke to soon.. it's happening to me now, too...!

I tell you what, though... what a great tune!

Hmm... vids aren't displaying properly. [url="https://youtu.be/Jq64dgNIrD8"]Here's the link[/url].

Here's a video review I've made of my two. Apologies - I forgot to put my posh phone voice on, but hopefully you can all understand me :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq64dgNIrD8

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1471364419' post='3112526'] I doubt he went near a wolf. It looks like a photoshop job to me. [/quote] [url="http://www.hackettsongs.com/blog/steve142.html"]Howwwwwwwwl[/url]

I've had two of these (Don't ask). Lovely things that don't have the whiff of 'mass produced' about them that you get with Fender and even the CS models these days. Enjoy it.

I've had good results with the Scarlett. It's a bit keen to clip so I have to keep an eye on it, but it works fine for my needs..

I haven't read the thread, but I love the tune. It's a great jazz anthem, and no-one cares if the bass part is shabby.

Nice to see a couple of new suggestions here - the usual suspects have been done to death on FB etc. Here's my nomination, released only last year: LOLz

You'll be back 😉

There wasn't enough going on above the boom - in the low-mids - for me. It felt all top-and-bottom. IME, obv.

They are truly marvellous, aren't they? The perfect live cabs, IMO. I just couldn't get on with the Streamliner in general. To me it sounded like a big bag'o'wind.

FWIW, I'm using Opera on mobile and it's fine...

I do pro gigs and hobbyist gigs, and I've got a 'proper' job. It's just gigging, innit.

[quote name='colleya' timestamp='1470946104' post='3109586'] That would be this one then: Nice to meet you Muzz - traded my TH500 for his Walkabout and had a good chat. I'm slowly morphing into WOT! Following on from our chat about the Delanos I was coming on here to ask for advice about alternatives, they're too harsh for me so I think swapping them out is on the cards. At the moment I'm considering the Maruszcyzk house pups, haussels or maybe asking Mark to see if he'll do me a set of limelights (love the sound from those). Does anyone have any advice/opinions? [/quote] The Haussels are mellower than the Maruszczyks. The latter are also pretty hot, too. They both sound great IMO.

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1470938188' post='3109517'] Actually got to lay hands on one last night, (it was a sunburst P5), and the build quality was exemplary: certainly as good as a good example of the real thing from the US, if not better, and delightfully, erm, light. Wasn't too keen on the Delanos, but that's just me. Have just spend waaaayyyyyy too much time going through every pic on the site, and unfortunately there's nothing that appeals visually, but again that's just me, so I can say as someone who won't own one (and therefore without axe to grind) that I was very impressed by the quality of the one I played. [/quote] Better than US, I'd say. I can't fault either of mine, and knowing they were built by people gives them the edge (IMO, of course!). Just out of curiously - what sort of style / config would appeal to you?

[quote name='sratas' timestamp='1470482882' post='3106302'] Had a few class D amps, markbass and genz benz. Even the supposedly mighty streamliner 900 sounded like heavy plastic compared to my SS and Walkabout mainly. I am convinced that the widespread generation of smps-class d amps are not suited for bass guitar amplification, whilst being a contemporary standard for FOH and other applications, but only because obtaining 5000 watts of pure class AB is now unacceptable. Massive weight, I have zero doubts that a conventional high power SS stage would be better even for sound reinforcement, but in these days carrying lightweight high power gear has raised the bar forever. For bass...still no. Waiting to try the newer class D dudes like B amp, glock etc etc but I'm so tired of these anemic boxes that I have no urge to do it [/quote] Seriously - check out the HandBox R-400. It made me sell my Walkabout.
