Not sure of the weight at the moment but based on Merseyside.

Ffs, that’s worringly close to me. Hopefully it weighs a lot.  

Please tell me it weighs as much as the moon and you live in Alaska ?

Keeping this now. 

Please withdraw. 

Ok no espresso available as my machine is on the blink. Does anyone know anything about Gaggia Classics ?

In light of this I will now ship to the UK or Europe at buyers expense but you must have good feedback on here and pay by bank transfer. 

Will happily fly it with me to most euopean destinations providing you pay for the seat (for the bass!) and you pay up front. Germany especially welcome, danke! 😉

No trades now I’m bandless, I have way too many bases as it is. 

Oh I like this !

I’d love to have that head, I imagine it’s rather heavy though ?

Hi , you have a demo video of this bass ? .....THANKS 

Sorry, I have nothing of it on stage that I can find, and I don’t really have the equipment to get a recording of it unless doing it through line6 Sonicport floats your boat. 

If you’re in the UK you’re welcome to try it. No tea available, I can’t stand the stuff, quality espresso available though 😉

Lol, I’m not sure my playing is a good selling point for this guitar. 

I certainly don’t have anything of it unaccompanied. 

@timmchale2009

Ah man, don’t do it. They’re truly special. 

List price has just nudged over 2k btw

On closer inspection it isn't the Terror Bass that is in his live rig but four AD200s. Pics here. https://orangeamps.com/artist/john-mcvie-of-fleetwood-mac-2/

 

Please excuse my ignorance, but why would you need four heads in this day and age, what with front and side monitors etc ?

Oh well, off to be evilBay it goes !

I was somewhat surprised to see Fleetwood Mac's John McVie has chosen the new Terror Bass for his recent stage rig. Obviously this guy can play what he wants no matter the cost. Perhaps I should check the new version out. I tried the old one and found it a bit limited tone-wise but maybe the new Clean switch allows more variation. I quite like John McVie's tone usually - just a simple, warm tone that works.

Very interesting as one would assume he doesn’t lug his own gear about. 

What cabs was he using ?

You and most other people who bought one... 😀

I actually really like those amps, ignoring the middle ‘starship enterprise’ bit. 

Light, powerful and has a real tube (iirc)

It's worth mentioning that the Magellan does also have a dual Contour control which, while it's a little vague as to numbers, does add to the shaping possibilities, especially around the mids.

And none of them come close to the frankly intimidatingly bonkers array of knobs on the Genz Shuttles...that 12.2 was just boggling, to be honest... 😕🙂

I had one of those, couldn’t figure out the knobs, sold it. 

Was very good with everything on 12 though !

Oh dear, doc. Because the mids, the mids, the mids, for the bass player that's where it's at

So I’m told. 

I don’t understand the relationship between the dials on a four band eq, or how tone stacks work. 

I just play the things !

Cards on the table. I don’t understand eq I never have, if it’s anything more than bass and treble I get lost !

Could be ...

I use the tone on the bass to control the treble rather than the amp. 

 

Drive level depends on the bass used. I turn it up until I can hear drive then knock it down again a smidge. 

 

The tone flip switches are important.

 

the bass EQ isn’t always quite that high but never far off either- depends on the room.

 

b3k model as said.

 

into Barefaced One10 which is quite vintage sounding too.

 

And last week I was playing Van Morrison’s Moondance with it. Nice walking line to play. 

Interestingly bar the bass that’s the settings I happened upon last night that I was quite happy with. Probably less drive also. Actually I had the blend over 12 o’clock also. 

Worked very well.

Saw the comments about the M900 - do you want a photo of my settings? 

I'm using a passive PJ with it and I'm very happy with my big band sound. Chunky bottom, enough space in the mids for the trombones, and a little treble, and with a touch of wooliness provided by the B3K circuit.

The VMT circuit should be the better choice for this... but it isn't. Far too much mids clashes with the other instruments. The B3K circuit does it far better and with less EQ mucking about.

Yes very much so, thank you !

i also very much agree about the b3k being generally better sounding for more vintage stuff (which isn’t what you’d expect)
