Nope. Everyone I've ever been in a band with have always behaved like perfect gentlemen at all times and been devoid of ego and/or flakeyness. Signed Napolean Ftang Ftang Hatstand

You just need to lose that 10% now. 1mm big Tortex triangles are where it's at.

Good stuff Si. Jack's amp is the one that got me converted. Mine gets its first public outing tomorrow. Huge church hall with a very high ceiling. Be interesting to hear how it copes. The TC cabs have proved a great match so far in rehearsals in two very different rooms. Great old school in your face bass response. Just what I was looking for.

Why not a Burns Bison?

Never had a problem with Shergold's

I worked in a guitar shop part time in the late 70s (when I should have been at school really) that was a main Fender dealer. From memory it was commonly known that of the new Fenders 25% were good, 25% were average and 50% were really horrible. As an example I remember a brown Telecaster that was known as 'the turdcaster' and was unsold in all the time I was there. It was heavier than an anvil, the bridge was out of line and the pickups had virtually no output amongst other faults. It's probably in some vintage emporium for £2,500 now. I'm guessing the 50% ers have had a lot of surgery in the last 30 odd years to get them up to playable standards.

I'm baffled. Mine's got more bass than a dancehall soundsystem. Even through a 2x10. Maybe it's faulty?

My Trace 715X is still in the for sale section for £350 That's a lot of serious combo for the money......

[quote name='jim_at' post='804980' date='Apr 13 2010, 03:37 PM']Do you mean Fat Tube (sample setting in the manual) - as I can't find a 'Warm Tube' setting. Would love to hear what it is.[/quote] Oh yeah Fat Tube. Lost in translation. Bad memory. Lots of drugs in the 80s. I think of it as "warm valve" myself. But it is indeed the Fat Tube setting I use. And what the others say. Used it all the time with the Trace Elliot (with the 'shape' on) and not at all with the Orange.

I set mine up roughly to the presets in the book with a little tweaking. 1- Flip Top 2- Warm Tube 3- SVT Seams to cover a lot of tonal ground. It's nearly always on SVT when I use it for recording and Warm Tube for DI at gigs.

It's LOUD believe me.

Used it again last night. This time with the RS210 in a little dead box rehearsal room. It still sounded wonderful. It works really well with od and fuzz too. I used a Bad Monkey on a couple of songs for some added grind and a Bass Big Muff for some fuzzed madness on another couple too. Heaven. Pushing an amp that's warm and breaking up a little anyway sounds just right. Very old school rock.

Not my genre. I think they're great though. Totally groovy. Love all that Egyptian nonsense too.

Thanks 99 person. Much appreciated

Where's the best place to get one of these? A bit fed up of playing on boomy surfaces.
