I love mine...

How are you getting on with the bass? Any soundclips?

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1407249545' post='2518757'] See, to me that's "clank"!... [/quote] Clank and Growl make easy bedfellows!

Growl is such a loose term as it means so many different things to different people - to me, growl is a Precision or Rick being driven hard (think Live at Leeds or early Rush), whereas to some people growl is the back pickup of a Jazz bass. To me that's burp.

I'm going to send him a message to see if I can pay by Paypal. Under the rues of Ebay he has to accept.

The Darkglass pedals do what they do extremely well but, like any pedal, they're only good if they make the sound you want. The B3K always sounds like a pedal to me. I love the Vintage as it sounds far more like a raging tube amp as opposed to an added-on distortion. However it's extremely expensive. If you have experience of the MXR and like it I say go for it! I haven't played one but the Juan Alderete demo on Youtube makes it sound fairly excellent!

[quote name='TomKent' timestamp='1406841369' post='2515304'] [b]First thing:[/b] I've got a 5-string Jazz bass, currently living its life in a Mono case, however there's a huge chance it'll have to go as hold luggage (as we're flying to South Korea & China/Hong Kong), [i]unless someone can advise me on how to get in as carry on guaranteed?[/i] [/quote] Steve Howe used to buy an extra ticket so his guitar could sit next to him.

[quote name='Sharkfinger' timestamp='1406878610' post='2515469'] Paz Lenchantin. When I saw her in the video for A Perfect Circle's début single (Judith), I thought she was one of the effortlessly cool people I'd ever seen. That bit where during the song's breakdown she quickly ties her hair up on her head. Just.... wow. Edit: Here she is in full glory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTgKRCXybSM [/quote] I hate to burst the bubble but she didn't play a note of bass on that album. Only strings. But in that video, man...

Julie Slick's pretty awesome, a proper rock bassist from the Squire/Wetton school of tone! I do have a soft spot for the divine Ms Auf Der Maur as well.

[quote name='largo' timestamp='1406810564' post='2514906'] Look at the GK Neo 112-ii cabs. Great value, build and importantly tone. [/quote] This! I have two of them.

[sub]Well done mate. There's nothing quite like playing outdoors is there! [/sub] [sub]Beautiful bass too.[/sub]

[url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/[/url] Pretty good by all accounts, usual cheap pots/wiring but easily upgradeable and structurally sound. They seem to have drastically cut down on their Thunderbird-inspired basses, they used to do loads of non-reverse models. Wish I'd jumped on one when I had the chance now!

I haven't tried them but I would imagine the neck dive would still be extreme.

I never found a use for it. Mind you, when I first got the amp I did several gigs with it on thanks to that daft back to front button...

I've owned both. The Euro was heavier but more comfortable - my Rebop suffered with the old neck dive a bit as the body is very light and a bit smaller than the Euro body. I never owned them at the same time so never got to make a proper comparison but I remember them being very similar tonally, but then again, I dirty up my tone quite a bit and the results were similar, both can be brutally aggressive beasties. Clean actives are not the way for me.
