[quote name='alexclaber' post='258010' date='Aug 8 2008, 12:45 PM']I see Treblerock is no more. What about the place that was opposite it? Also gone? Alex[/quote] Wow!... the place opposite was 'Pro Music'.... now that was a long time ago!

Bristol's never been that good for music shops.... since [i]Sound Control[/i] got their teeth in & blew the smaller places out the water... Electric Ladyland has been going for years in Old market if your looking for vintage instruments Mickelburgh's in Stokes Croft has a Warwick dealership (the Basement) & I guess it's worth checking out what Reverb (ex sound control) has to offer in it's clearance sale...

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='248926' date='Jul 27 2008, 02:49 PM']I doubt there are many that will be able to give a real world comparison of these cabs and most of us will probably extol the virtues of the cabs that we have [/quote] .... I'm liking me new Berg AE112's ....to my [i]biased[/i] ears it covers "a great deep smooth sound but still with enough detail" perfectly!... & god... it's so nice not breaking out in a sweat carting them up & down me stairs on a hot gigging day!

[quote name='Tengu' post='241308' date='Jul 16 2008, 10:19 PM']Finally got some pictures of my rig that don't suck. I tend to use just the 2x10 for most gigs, just adding the 15 when I need some extra volume. I'm sure that the talk of phase cancellation etc is correct but I still like the sound I get from this set-up. I always DI the head into the PA so what the audience hears is dependant on that anyway.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='240658' date='Jul 16 2008, 10:01 AM']Hi Folks, Just bought a Peavey T-Max head from Dave, better known around here as 'bottomfeed'. All in all, it was a completely hassle-free transaction; the amp's great and exactly as described, well packaged up and Dave's a really easy person to deal with.. So am happy to recommend him to fellow Basschatters when buying/selling gear on the Forum. But on top of all that, he somehow managed to get Parcelfarce to deliver the amp to me in 24 hrs instead of the 48 hr service I paid for, which was amazing! Thanks Dave! Nik[/quote] Well thank you kindly sir!.... Glad the T-Max arrived safely.... & all is well with it Parcel-Farce may have delivered the goods promptly ..... but their idea of an AM pick up was 8pm!!!

[quote name='Galilee' post='237399' date='Jul 11 2008, 03:49 PM']Which begs a question. If her grandfather is John Paul Jones....[/quote] Yup.... Grandpa actually is JPJ!.... funny thing is, I taught her '7th nation army' - white stripes... which she picked up very quickly...(she really does have potential!.... & only 10 years old!) with emphasis on playing the G/A bridge with alternating 'walking fingers' of the right hand & she came back after seeing grandpa.... & said... 'grandpa gave me a tip about playing that'..... .'Oh yes... I say, '& what was that?' 'he said I could play that bit with one finger if it was easier!....' well.... what can I say?! ha!.....

[quote name='Funkmaster' post='237348' date='Jul 11 2008, 02:49 PM']LOL - I thought I'd seen this topic before! Still gives me a chance to tell this story again! I'd snap one up if I saw one again too. Where do those old bases go. You go into music shops and there's any amount of old guitars - but where are the bases? David[/quote] OMG!!!!.... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JEDSON-TELECASTER-COPY-VINTAGE-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ310065513949QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item310065513949&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318"]Ebay Jedson bass!![/url] I can't believe he wants £129.99 for it!!!! "This bass guitar is about thirty years old and hard to find in good condition.Everything is in full working order and the adjustable action is very playable.It would be perfect as a starter bass guitar,or for more professional use in the studio for that 70's large single coil sound....." [b]'professional!?'.... 'Studio use!!???'... 'the adjustable action is very [i]playable[/i]'????!!!!? [/b] .... WTF!?! LOL!

Isn't there one of these already?!... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=22006&st=40&p=225802&#entry225802"]Here[/url] ah well.... the more the merrier!... copy/paste.... etc... Yes... the Jedson bass.... a short scale pile of w@nk! .....but it looked kinda cute!

A young student of mine gave me one of her grandpa's plectrums as a present recently!.... [b]JPJ[/b] ! (if anyone wants [i]slightly[/i] cheaper memorabilia than the rig at Christie's... I may consider selling!... )

Yeah.. I'd be interested to hear what ppl think now they have 'em....... I was the guy who ended up with the ex-demo [b]neopak 3.5[/b].... I'm well pleased with it, though for a moment I was worried that it might be a bit underpowered... but to be honest it kicks it out as much as my T-max did (& that was 500w into 4ohms) I guess the neopak is similar to the shuttle 6, EQ wise anyway.... it was pretty cool when I plugged in with everything flat...(& I'm glad it's not as compact as the shuttles!... my failing eyesight needs bigger knobs, these days!) but I reckon I'll still be tweaking it from gig to gig for some time.....

[quote name='Funkmaster' post='224714' date='Jun 23 2008, 09:04 AM']Mine was a horrible, horrible short scale Jedson bass - with those horrible slidy on/off switches for the pickups - which invariably got knocked, muting the guitar, when plucking entusiastically! It was 1973 and it was £19.50 from Contact in Leeds. And I was 15[/quote] Yes.... me too!..... I was 13, what a horrible bass it was! (though I wouldn't have known it at the time) I didn't really start to learn how to play till several years later... it sat in the corner of my room trying to look cool for a couple of years... I eventually sold it at school... & got an Audition bass from Woolworth's, £10 coz it was shop soiled & had a string missing... Then the journey really began... can't find a pic .....

[quote name='Josh' post='225096' date='Jun 23 2008, 03:37 PM']Ooooo errrrr what happened to the ol' Peavey set-up Dave???[/quote] Hi Josh..... How you doin? .... in the process of selling me old Peavey/Trace gear Genz Benz & Bergantino! ...like Garlic Bread, it's the future!

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='224449' date='Jun 22 2008, 09:00 PM']That looks great, any soundclips?[/quote] no, sorry!.... ..... might get round to sorting some.... Genz Benz & Bergantino do seem to compliment each other very well though... had a job getting what I wanted out of those cabs before the neo-pak arrived

[quote name='steve-soar' post='224279' date='Jun 22 2008, 05:20 PM']That's what a bass rig should look like, as tall as the bassist.[/quote] ...But my GB & Bergs is as tall as me! ...... if I was a midget it would be! All that SWR..... [b]monster monster!!![/b] must sound teriffic!.......

[quote name='steve-soar' post='224105' date='Jun 22 2008, 12:54 PM']Ooooh, that's nice, how does it sound?[/quote] I'm Chuffed to bits with it!... it's warm, Phatt, punchy as hell & has a clarity I've never known before.... & oh so very portable!..... (which was the original reason I started looking for a change....)

[quote name='backwater' date='Jun 20 2008, 09:42 AM']gigged with a peavey 2x15 and head for a while - I got my rig for free from a band I worked with as they couldn't lift it - the 2x15 was referred to as "the wardrobe"![/quote] [quote name='johnnylager' post='223402' date='Jun 21 2008, 06:55 AM']Mark IV head - brutal! I had one of these through a Sunn 2x15 and it was awesome, best bass sound I ever had. Why did I sell it?[/quote] [b]Brutal indeed!..... & You could hide your dead grandmother in that bottom cab![/b]

Here's the new one!....[b]Genz Benz Neo-Pak & Bergantino AE112's[/b](..with trusty 'Ray) 1st gig with it last night... the affair begins!...

another sweaty bastard here!.... I wipe down with 'fast fret' after a gig..... I think it helps with the life of 'em but can sometimes leave a 'rubbery' feel to the strings (!?)
