Nope, haven't noticed any difference in attitude. Me, I'm very even-handed: can't be doing with any of it...

No experience of the TRB, but I had a 3000A for twenty years, and the build quality and playability was as good as anything I've encountered. Good solid PJ tones from them, and a decent 2-band EQ. I'm kinda sorry I sold it now. IIRC, it went for about six hundred pounds, I'd expect the 5000A to go for a little more...

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1412715062' post='2571368'] I'd like to have a crack at God Only Knows on my kazoo because however bad it sounded i'd always rest easy that it couldn't possibly be worse than what the BBC have just done to it. [/quote] +1... I could lay my hands on a vuvuzela and we could duet...

[quote name='Lynottfan' timestamp='1412714540' post='2571356'] Always wanted to have a go at Just what I needed by the cars, done it in rehearsals, big fan of Ben Orr and I can sing it (just) would love to do it live. [/quote] One of the first songs I played in a band - it was still in the charts at the time... I've always wanted to do Get The Funk Out by Extreme, but Punter Blankness has always prevented us...

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1411251438' post='2557957'] What power amps are you guys using (if any)? I'd like to take ipad, light amp and barefaced cab for gigs and practice. Was eying up the EHX magnum 44 but not sure its loud/clean enough. I'd rather any distortion came from my actual preamp tones. [/quote] I've ended up with a Markbass F1, I run my Sonic Port straight into the front of it.. Nice and neutral amp, doesn't colour the iPad preamp tones, it's loud and very very small. Into my Compact, I haven't come across a situation where it isn't loud enough yet, and I've never pushed it...

God above, that was just awful. Awful.

I've had a series/parallel/single switch fitted to my Delano MM-loaded Shuker horn, and it produces three different tones. The Series setting is much louder than the other two, so I don't use it much (I had the switch put in to get away from this), but I use the other two a lot. I'm going to be fitting the new Nordy Bigman pickup soon (when I get the funds sorted), and that'll be wired with seperate volumes for each coil (each coil is basically a Big Single) instead of a switch...

OK, just found this in a drawer, and I haven't had the amp for a couple of years now, so if anyone wants it, just give me your address and I'll stick it in the post. Cheers, Muzz

At the moment, eight - see signature below...

Completely different song, as JTUK says, the original groove is gone. Didn't like it at all.

Yup, P-Bass. Probably with flats, too...

Don't like that one, but I've had a far eastern Daryl Jones which was great (for a Jazz, given I don't like Jazzes) and the Lakland USA neck I've got on My Thunderland is just sublime.

I had a BB300 for a few years as my backup bass - very well made, no frills P-Bass. If it's in decent nick (functionally working well) I'd pay a ton for it.

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1412025221' post='2565068'] Anyway, back to good looking Gibson basses; [/quote] Now that is very very nice indeed...

I had a Super12T for a while, and tho it's tempting to pick it up by the top handle, I worked with the theory that the side one is the carry handle and the top handle's for rolling it. It'd still be a great cab if it had no handles and was covered in Teflon...I miss mine.

Another plus one for the custom ACS 15s, and I have the cheapo IEMs which fit into them too. Best money I've spent on kit.

Now, I'm very happy with my Compact at the moment (superlight and does what I need very well), and before that I loved the Super12 I had (even more of everything, but just too much for what I needed), but GAS is a bitch, and I've been very keen to try out a Super Compact, but not stonked enough to actually buy one on the returns basis. Imagine my delight to see that Drew at the Manchester Bass Lounge (www.manchesterbasslounge.com) is going to be stocking Barefaced cabs...fantastic. He's only got a Super Midget in at the moment (tho I might even get over to try it out anyway), but there's a Big Twin on the way, and more as he can get Alex to ship them. Anyway, heads-up to anyone up this end of the country who's interested in Barefaced cabs...this could get expensive...

I'd advise trying before you buy: I've had three (and a US SUB), and while I love the look of them, and love the sound of other people playing them, they just don't work for me...

Nope, not for me - I'll acknowledge the skill it takes to do it, but I wasn't sure if or when he'd started. Guitar shop/bedroom noodling isn't something which sounds good to me...

We play this every gig, and I've never noticed any issues with it. Mind you, I've been playing it on and off since it came out...I'd agree about the drummer, though.

Just switched on my iPad and it's appeared from nowhere, like a fart in a busy lift...
