I bought a Crest CA9 years ago, after reading loads up on it. It’s mainly beloved over on Talkbass- though is very heavy. Bought it cheapish, to try out and scratch the proverbial itch. I’ve had loads of power amps over the years, and it’s absolutely great on bass. There are loads of mentions about the reasoning behind this- that it’s not a flat sound, and by a sort of quirk in the design, works well on bass guitar. I bought it with the view of being sceptical, and then moving it on, but it’s really good. The only issue is the weight, and also the fact that it’s very deep in size- meaning you have to look for a suitable rack. I found a 2U Boschma rack on their site- very heavy duty moulded plastic one. But I’m not sure that they’re still in business or not. I use it with a Sonic Farm mic pre In front of it, and sounds really good

You had one of those a few years ago didn’t you? As did I. Debating whether to get another again- they are awesome amps

Sadowsky Japanese Metro MV5 - Lightweight with VTC (5 String Jazz) - *SOLD*
E sharp replied to d_g's topic in Basses For Sale
If I could sell my bass, this is one of two that I pick from to replace it. These are great- just got a Japanese Metro R24 Modern in on a trade. Quality wise, there’s not a fag paper’s difference between the US ones. As I said before- it’s a difficult time to sell at the moment. Someone’s even started a thread about it. This bass is really as good as it gets if you’re after a 5 active Jazz. -

Caveman Audio BP1, a very, very, very short review...
E sharp replied to bassmayhem's topic in Amps and Cabs
Same here. Ive been running- bass into small board with SFX 2 band EQ, compressor, Sonic Farm, then power amp and speakers- lovely sound, with hardly any EQ. The Caveman has been on my radar, but unsure if to spend the money on something that might not make a lot of difference. The bass pre-amp rabbit hole you can go down is massive, if you had the funds -
Northern Soul Classic but ?Dodgy Bassline?
E sharp replied to Mykesbass's topic in General Discussion
I play in a Northern Soul band, and this is one of the ones right near the end. I mix about with the line a bit, as you do, and it always goes down well -
Rob is great- I love his playing. Came from good stock too. Also echo what’s been said about- so inventive with his playing

Just seen on Facebook, that he was Robin Malarkey’s father. He’s another awesome player

Is that yours Brian? Always liked the look of them

Those all valve Nexus heads look a real bargain at the price. I tried the all valve route with a Handbox, but found it under powered. The Nexus looks like a kind of British version of the Mesa one- at a fraction of the cost

The Bass Gallery have these. I doubt you’ll find a better lightweight top notch P or J for this money

Truly terrible covers of the good and the great
E sharp replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
That was a cover of a cover then. The original Tainted Love is a Northern Soul classic -
Not quite the same, but still a Series 6 model. By chance I clicked on Facebook Marketplace early this morning , and this popped up for £120 - saying in the next town. Clicked on the ad, and it was in my village, about 30 houses down from me. Messaged there and then, and bought it when I got home. Last Trace gear I had was a Series 6 AH300 over 20 years ago. Wanted a Series 6 combo for rehearsals. Just the job
