[quote name='obbm' post='83002' date='Nov 3 2007, 12:00 AM']Maybe Basschat should take the lead and have a stand. Just look at the variety of equipment we could wheel out It would put the manuafcturers and distributors to shame..[/quote] Watch this space .

No cash here either - but i'll be pimping basschat to every stand I go to .

If it were on a thread it means they are currently writing a post - on the front screen i'm not so sure..

Corvette $$ here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7598"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7598[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7780"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7780[/url] And I quite like the Jazz 24 - loads of balls to them.

Seem fairly pricey to be honest - these look better value to me: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/layla_bassguitar_kit_pstyle.htm"][url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/layla_bassguitar_kit_pstyle.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/layla_bassguitar_kit_pstyle.htm[/url][/url]

Miller's website still says he uses EBS though.. [url="http://www.marcusmiller.com/faq.html?category=2&faqid=28&color=8"]http://www.marcusmiller.com/faq.html?categ...=28&color=8[/url]

Sounds a bit too serious for me... can't hurt to email I suppose.

There's alot less than there was - maybe they haven't finished ? Either way - a new website doesn't mean their customer focus will change. This bit on the main page tickled me [i]"The Bass Centre's commitment to service applies equally to professionals and enthusiasts alike"[/i]

They're ok - do some good budget models but the higher end models are often out shined by bigger names unfortunately.

I expect I shall have a nose .

Probably ped - we all know how he likes to make 'home videos'.

I'll be there Saturday after 10am or so, will be spending a little while at BassDirect stand with poptart and ped so will see people there .

Very well done - it's something i've been learning extremely slow for a little while. You seem to have it alot better than me .

I've used them for a while - have moved to the EXLs though. I found the ProSteels were amazingly bright, but lost their brilliance too quickly compared to the nickels.

Ok I picked up my ABM300 from kevcooke today (cheers Kev !)- sampled it initially through a Warwick 211 Pro cab using a custom shop Warwick Vampyre NT5. It sounded anything but 'woolly' to me. Plugged my Stingray into it too, superb and bright sound. Now then - I got it home and tried it through my MAG210 - sounded nice and bright again, I seem to be missing the woolliness ! Admittedly, neither of these tests were at gig volumes so it isn't a complete test, but I can't see it being majorly different. Certainly there are brighter cabs available, but they don't sound muffled or lacking to my ears.

I'd say you might be heard but it'd sound a bit naff. I think you'd be better off with the MAG210, I assume your reason for selling it is it's heavy and a pain to lug ?

Yep BGM is the best out there as far as i'm concerned. It has it's US counter-part but that's usually 75% adverts, with a few reviews and interviews chucked in for good measure.

My RBX775 served me well, i'd consider it a mid-ranged instrument and sounds and looks great. I defretted it this year as I didn't want to part with it but had better fretted basses (Jazz/Stingray). It's likely to be a keeper.. since 2nd hand Yamaha prices are stupidly low. The BB614 I had i'd GAS'd over for ages, it was a great instrument but like some people say, didn't have that vibe a Fender can have.

£13 an hour ? That's pretty steep ! I pay £9 an hour and could get £6 during week days.

I get the pleasure of a Peavey TNT115. That on it's own would be ok if it wasn't so knackered.. it's apparently 250w (4ohms) so is more like 150w on it's own. It's just about enough but is often a bit farty sounding..
