Sounds about right, considering the LB30 is £1,350. But they're both still a tad on the expensive side, to say the least...

First gig for a long time last night. From my side of the stage it was pretty good, a couple of fluffed notes due to nerves but nothing serious. On the opposite side of the stage it was a different story. 3/4 of the way through our 4th song the guitar went very quiet. Me, the drummer and vocalist finished the song whilst the guitarist messed with pedals and cables. But things were terminal for his 15w Laney valve combo, looks like a valve blew. The guitarist from the support band ran off to his car and brought back his amp and cab so we could finish our set. Which made up for the fact the bassist turned up without his rig...

So full of sound, full of tone ,that i don`t want any other amp for the rest of my life, worth every gram it weighs [/quote] That is my dream rig, you lucky sod!

Mike Watt and a little bit of the rest of fIREHOSE:

The guitarist in my band bought the R24 last week, we'll be trying it for the first time a week today. Tonight's rehearsal is for a gig tomorrow night. I'm trying to get him to bring it tonight anyway, so we can at least give it a try...

I can use both, but much prefer using fingers.

So it's tone that's different to you're own? Would have to be Justin Chancellor's, do I get all his equipment too?

If Saturday is a better day for people I'll see what I can do...

Saturday is no good for me.

[/quote] Noooooo, I've avoided being near these for about 18 years for a reason!

May 1st is good for me. I can bring: MarkBass LMII 4X8" 1x15" (both basically Ashdown minis) Fender Steve Harris P NS Design NXT4 EUB Random selection of pedals

[quote name='dan2112' post='1093444' date='Jan 18 2011, 07:56 AM']a bass terror[/quote] Good man!! I just hope I'm around when this happens...

[quote name='cocco' post='1092774' date='Jan 17 2011, 05:14 PM']What else can people muster?[/quote] All I've got to offer is a MarkBass LMII, a 4X8" cab, a 1x15"cab. My Steve Harris P and my NS Design EUB. I'll bring them if anyone is interested. If someone has an Orange Terror Bass they could bring then I'd love to try one out... (if I haven't said "sod it" and got one by then)

[quote name='dwh87' post='1092754' date='Jan 17 2011, 05:04 PM']I am guessing this bass is good by the positive reviews. I saw a new one today for £775 and might get it.[/quote] Yes, it is good. Very good! £775 is a bloody good deal. Most of the prices I've seen recently have been £1000+

I odered strings from them last year and they were very slow. I emailed them a couple of times to find out what was going on, I got no response until they answered and email to say the strings had been sent... 2 days after I'd recieved them...

I'm interested too...

Hmmm... It's a little bit bland...

I've never owned one. I bought my first tuner a couple of years ago, after 20 years of playing, which was a behringer rack tuner. Then I switched that for a Polytune.

It'd be easier to sell the one you have and buy the blue led version...

They fit perfectly on my Fender Precision. Of course, it is a Steve Harris Sig P. They also fit fine on my Squier JV P. I don't imagine you'll have problems...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1089498' date='Jan 14 2011, 04:26 PM']IMO, you're on a hiding to nothing. Roll the blend right back, and A/B it against the bypassed signal. That darn cut is still there... Roll the bass and treble off (theoretically boosting the mids, relatively speaking), and it just doesn't sound right. The Para DI won't help, either...[/quote] I rolled it back to 30%BDDI /70% dry signal last night and it sounded pretty good, bit of a scoop but not too dramatic. I can live with it for a while... But you've answered my next question, about the Para DI.

Michael Pitt:

That's a nice looking bass! When I was younger I wanted a pearl white one after seeing Billy Gould playing one...
