that colour goes well on that stingray

[quote name='ped' post='806500' date='Apr 14 2010, 08:45 PM']Every M2000 I have seen has had some sort of problem :0/[/quote] I bought one when they first came out, about £1600 if i recall was going to be the last amp I ever bought. where have you heard that before didnt like it at all, some issues with the di out, overated in my opinion sold it at a massive loss

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='804761' date='Apr 13 2010, 12:22 PM']I've thought about bidding on it myself but I've not really got the money at present so I won't be getting in your way. I'd say £599 is about max price for one of these. However, if you get to see it up close and decide against it, could you give me a report on it? EDIT: In fact, just give us all a report on it anyway.[/quote] you are welcome to come and try mine Im not that far away if you were interested in the glasgow one

I have one and its a very underated bass The lipstick pickups are at different positions to a standard jazz as the front pick up is much firther forward than the front jazz and the rear slightly nearer the bridge. Its an active bass 22 fret and a different body shape to the Jo so its like comparing a stingray with a precision. Theres a great range of tones. wider than a jazz becasuse of the pickups and active circuitry, I like mine, had it for 4 or 5 years from new and no intention of selling it. I agree with OBBM you wont improve it by swapping out the pickups, but you will devalue it. If you dont like it as it is you wont like it with jazz pickups Is it a gold one? If it is it will be part of a run of that colour done with Steve barr of the dudepit.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='798516' date='Apr 7 2010, 11:18 AM']Quite right Beedster. For the asking (starting!) price I would want original finish, original frets, case candy and possibly a couple of Leo's original screwdrivers to be included.[/quote] what about some of leos pens?

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='792111' date='Mar 31 2010, 04:28 PM']Had a mooch round a local guitar shop today for further research and was told that I should be looking at bigger speakers rather than 4x10s etc and promptly got pointed in the direction of a 2x15 £1000 job by peavey it was nearly as tall as me [/quote] What utter rubbish, and you could pick up a 2x15 peavey or an old HH for peanuts. I use a 2x15, and to me their advantage is that most of them have wheels at the back so its a built in stack truck and no lifting required. [we dont do upstairs] 4x10s have become something of an industry standard, and if you look through manufacturers catalogues theres more 4x10s than 2x15s.

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='789894' date='Mar 29 2010, 08:40 PM']So what you're saying is... if I had a 4ohm amp, and a 4ohm cab, then I'd get the full power.. but if I had an 8ohm amp and a 4 ohm cab I'd only have half, so would have to get another cab to get the full power out of it? And having a 4 ohm amp with an 8 ohm cab would be pointless? lol clueless aren't I edit: and also having a crap cab at any ohms would be pointless too? lol[/quote] I dont think you have quite got it, and some of the other explanations are not not very clear. If you are using a solid state amp, the power delivered by the amp is dependant on the impedance of the speaker cab you are using. published specs for the eden traveller will develop 500 watts into a 4 ohm load and 300 into an 8 ohm load. If you have one 8 ohm cab the amp will deliver 300watts, ie not full power, if paired with one 4 ohm cabinet it will deliver the full 500 watts. However in the real world I dont think it makes much of an audible difference, for lots of technical reasons that alex or bill could explain. I have twice used the same amp [seperately] with 4 ohm and 8 cabinets, in a gig situation, just by swapping the speaker cable and found no significant difference in volume. The normal way to increase your volume is not to use a single 4 ohm cabinet in preference to an 8 ohm cabinet but to use two cabinets so you are using more speakers. Two 8 ohm speakers plugged into the amp gives the amp a total impedance of 4 ohms allowing the amp to develop full power into more speakers. Most amps [but not all] dont like two 4 ohm speakers. Therefore if you buy an amp with a 4 ohm cab, it doesnt really give you much more volume, and it prevents you adding a second cab when you play the albert hall. theres lots of maths in there but i tried to keep it simple Does that help or make itworse?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='789825' date='Mar 29 2010, 07:52 PM']If the Hartke cabinet is a 4ohm cabinet, yes. If it's 8ohms, nope. [/quote] Just check the weight first 4x10s can be very heavy but if you can manage it its probably the best single cabinet solution

[quote name='chris_b' post='788949' date='Mar 28 2010, 10:28 PM']I believe Chris Stainton played bass on With A Little Help From My Friends. That was recorded before, but released after, Alan Spenner joined the Grease Band. This record was recorded several years before Carl Radle's first recording with Delany and Bonnie in 1969.[/quote] You are right it was apparently With A Little Help From My Friends 4:05 Backing Vocals - Madeline Bell , Rosetta Hightower , Sunny Wheetman Bass - Chris Stainton Drums - B.J.
