Ahh, may well have been an Alembic - though I'd seen the bis 'S' symbol of a Smith headstock, though as you say may well have been the Alembic one [quote name='Bassman68' post='953643' date='Sep 12 2010, 03:49 PM']Think you might find it was an Alembic he was playing? Brilliant gig tho, would love to track down a DVD of that concert 'cos it didn't seem that long on tv....[/quote]

[quote name='molan' post='952391' date='Sep 11 2010, 12:27 AM']Lol - only problem was that they were a grand back then Much cheaper now - yay [/quote] Hmm, how much do they sell for now? I thought they were still a grand

Barrie, well I tried to tell you that, back in June, when I said "Perhaps the Staccato model would have suited you more.." [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=69137&hl=Staccato&st=222"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...cato&st=222[/url] [quote name='molan' post='952022' date='Sep 10 2010, 05:13 PM']So - little addendum to my TC Electronics thoughts. Having got close to a sound I wanted out of my RH450 when rehearsing I was still coming up a bit short on my old favourite '80's mid-scoop sound. Still lacking that top end zing I've always liked. Went out and read lots of reviews & comparisons on the Staccato '51 and decided to take the plunge and bought one to test back to back with the RH450. I have to say I'm amazed at how different they sound 'out of the box'. I knew the frequency centres had all been changed & the top end had been opened up but the core sound of the amp seems different to me as well. Feels like there's some compression dialled in even when it's set flat & maybe a little more drive through the TubeTone as well. I'm very happy to say that the base sound with everything set flat is pretty much exactly what I was after - couldn't believe just how 'right' it sounded to me. I knew I'd like some of the top end but was worried it might be a bit too bottom heavy for me having read about this in some reviews but it's just great! The factory setting wasn't actually with everything set flat, it had the compression & the tube tone at 12:00 and this sounded very nice too, touch too much compression (although this was quite dependent on which bass was running through it). I then had a go at replicating a 'stock' RH450 tone, got vaguely close but still hearing more top end, may need to play with that a bit. Of course the big clincher is the colour - I haven't seen a single pic that really does the bright metallic red finish any sort of justice Anyone else here got/tried a Staccato - I haven't spotted any yet?[/quote]

Right, I'm on it now - this better be good [quote name='Hoppo75' post='952293' date='Sep 10 2010, 10:18 PM']If you have, check out Lello Panico and the Fritz gang (Album, Out of the blue). For me some excellent quality music, kind of Jazzy, Bluesy and Swingy stuff with some rather lovely bass playing from Tim Fritz (also the singer and plays a Jazz). Definately worth a listen folks.[/quote]

Just watched that gig on Sky Arts (Hammersmith Odeon -1985 ) myself - really enjoyed it. Haden't realised Norman Watt Roy played a Smith bass, in those days.

Bought a Trace V type pre from Merton recently and couldn't have been happier with the whole transaction. The preamp arrived today, well packaged and sounds great Cheers Martin

[quote name='JMT3781' post='946238' date='Sep 5 2010, 03:21 PM']35" scale? i had 2 for 3 years and always thought they were 34's! Crikey if i didn't notice that perhaps 35" isn't as much as a problem for me as i thought it was :S[/quote] I had a 5 string and it was 34 scale also. I believe 35" is available as an option on the 5's

Which one do you enjoy playing most? The way I see it, that's the one to keep

[quote name='PURPOLARIS' post='926871' date='Aug 16 2010, 08:30 PM']I bought my USA Jazz FMT from the states and paid $1000 for it when the list price here was £1300. The £ was 2-1 then too. I'm sure I only paid £70 customs charges on that. You win some, you lose some[/quote] When you're getting 2$ to the £, you always win..

Was really shocked when I read this earlier today, Its just so sad, My sincere condolences to Si's family

[quote name='yanto' post='924194' date='Aug 13 2010, 05:50 PM']There are some shockers out there but ones that spring to mind are the bloke out of the Stranglers,[/quote] Can't say I've ever been shocked by Jaen-Jacques Burnel's playing, always loved his playing and tone on the Stranglers songs

Good luck mate, looks like you found a really good gig now! P

That sounds proper vintage Fender right there

Yep, Good luck on all fronts]
