I think the MXR El Grande or the MXR Blowtorch are also ok with active basses.[/quote] Agreed on the Blowtorch... And Max's Red Dragon am Micro Fuzz are fantastic!

My AB-Synth by Fuzzhugger is the most brutal crazy sounding fuzz I have ever heard and it loves Active Basses. It is very sensitive to the input volume and I find if you roll the volume off on the bass by about 20% it is the biggest Fuzz around!

Oddly my Neo cabs (EBS) are a little mid-shy, and to get any honky-ness I have to EQ mid into them! The total opposite of your soundchap's takes on Neo speakers! Maybe my ears are shot as well. From whats been said it kinda sounds like he's an old-schooler who knows, loves and trusts the big fat warm old speaker sound… most modern stuff sounds sooooooo different to the old Peavy, Trace, Orange tone that most engineers face day to day and become familiar. I've had a few engineers tell me how 'odd' the EBS Fafner sounds… which is crazy, as its clearly the most amazing amp ever made ;-) Its just 'unfamiliar to them'. If he hears too much mid. turn the mid down! Don't change your rig!

Yeah Max has a few tricks up his sleeve! :-)

Bear in mind not everyone has a full band. If it was you and an acoustic guitar, no srums… would you really want a large loud amp… or something small. Different music, different venues, different sound men! Also bear in mind that Wattage doesn't always relate side by side with different amps. If you play through a 150W EBS Drome combo, you will find that it is actually LOUDER (and cleaner at loud volumes) than many 300W amps… Its down to the technology used. The different being that the Drome is £800 odd for 150W combo! Shep

Awesome news... If he's stuck into it then fingers crossed it won't be long! When are you going down next?

Awesome! Mine next!!!! That's news enough!!!

Been a while since the last update… you're slacking Russ!

[quote name='lozbass' post='892098' date='Jul 11 2010, 05:34 PM']Err...now with far better images (still not great i'm afraid!) A lovely bass for noodling moments - a nice slim neck and easy to get around on[/quote] Lovely. One of the nicest Overwaters ever.

[quote name='KevB' post='893511' date='Jul 13 2010, 10:43 AM']Yeah I have a special tech that looks after all that stuff for me. They're worth their weight in gold... [/quote] Mind you that hat is damn special as well!

[quote name='KevB' post='891091' date='Jul 10 2010, 09:37 AM']Taken last night. new band to me (only 6th gig) and a chance to don my newly aquired hat. Rther a sweaty gig but people were coming up and saying how much they'd enjoyed it afterwards so must be getting a few things right... [/quote] Nice bass that! Bet it plays nice ;-)

[quote name='eude' post='893130' date='Jul 12 2010, 08:10 PM']Hot Damn this is coming on fast [/quote] Agreed! Compared to my experience in custom builds to date, this is what you call speedy service!

Some more fresh pics from Robbie... Neck pocket routed and ready to go...

[quote name='Higgie' post='891910' date='Jul 11 2010, 12:30 PM']Really liking that Bugcrusher! Instant GAS! Just checked out the site and apparently no longer in production. B*llocks [/quote] Hexe still make the bitcrusher III for €199, which I hear is just as good! Shep

If you refer to the BG500 210 (or 115) then yes. I received mine last week as I was lucky enough to win one from TC! I have played the RH450 and thought it was 'OK'. The combo however is fantastic. It seems to be more sensitive to adjustments in volume and tone. The amount of volume on tap is absolutely crazy! To my ear this is tonally much tighter than the head and cab as separates… maybe because that cabinet is specifically for it, but all round I am VERY impressed. Should have some sound samples this week.

I want a bugcrusher… that sounds awesome :-)

Matching control cavity cover...

The BG500 arrived today. Lovely bit of kit. Only had chance for a quick test and so far I'm very happy. Tonaly it is totally different to the EBS sound I am used to but the combo's ability to handle the low B is very reassuring. Given this is going to be used exclusively for my drum and bass project I am very happy. The EQ storage ability and the tuner is a great touch (shame that have not theought about us 6 string players though as it tunes B-G). I have been asked to do a full review which I shall do and post in the review section after a proper rehearsal tonight and also to record a short vid which I will do later, which I understand will be for the TC Electronic YouTube channel. It will be shockingly bad as its though my iPhone, but I'll do it all the same. They were also kind enough to send me a Tee Shirt and Keychain Lanyard :-) More pics etc when I have time...

Cheers bud! It's nice to get some more pics… You loose touch with whats happening without them and it had been a while as he's been so busy (must be nice to be popular!). Fingers crossed it won't be long until the next update! Shep
