[quote name='umph' post='609316' date='Sep 26 2009, 02:45 PM']generally the quality of pots doesn't affect the sound so much but the taper can differ from pot to pot which can justify spending more on a decent one[/quote] Note i said components not pots. some volume pedals are more than a pot.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='608364' date='Sep 25 2009, 08:27 AM']Jesus, are you not sleeping well? I RESPECTFULLY disagreed. My opinion is based upon the fact that I fail to see how one pot would sound any different to another pot of the same value. If someone can explain that to me, please do.[/quote] Quality of components

[quote name='budget bassist' post='608114' date='Sep 24 2009, 08:33 PM']it's not REALLY that big a gap....[/quote] no it is. especially when the bass will cost over £1k. would you be happy if you could fit a 1mm plectrum inbetween the body and neck of your bass?

[quote name='Zombywoof' post='607307' date='Sep 24 2009, 12:59 AM']Nah, I used to stick it down the back of my trousers near me arse. I think the bass was more worried than me![/quote] won't you kill yourself if you then touch a mic?

the only problem is that they look guff. locking tuners are sweet though

i'd still rather spend the £250 more for a used SR4 2 band but the SBM basses will be awesome for someone who wants a 2nd ray or is stuck in that middle gap. also is it me or does anyone else not like the new MM pickup shape?

there's sunburst

Rush, dream theater, mastodon or pantera

Its easy to slip out the combo if anyone wants pics, I did it when i bought it to see if it needed a a clean but was spotless inside.[/quote] Ah sweet. i'll take some pics.

liking them but having the newer nut ruins it a little for me

I saw you were selling the Rockverb recently.[/quote] my orange that i'm selling is the deposit for my shuker. amp wise i'm not sure. at the moment i have an ashdown abm 500. sounds decent. i'm thinking of running a dual dirt clean rig with the ash doing the clean and something valve for dirt.

[quote name='dood' post='606217' date='Sep 22 2009, 09:43 PM']I'd urge you to see if you can find a Trace V-Type preamp. The schematic is very similar - but I actially think the Trace is a better design - and has an effects loop ;o)[/quote] I love those trace pre amps. i miss my combo. i wouldn't mind finding the schematics and making one

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='606109' date='Sep 22 2009, 09:22 PM']I don't like the heads but the cabs are savage.[/quote] i'm the other way round. i find the newish ABM cabs to be really bad, the MAG cabs to be better and the older ABM cabs better again. a friend had the newer ABM 8x10 and it was so dull and quiet IMO. i've never had a decent tone using the newer ABM cabs. too compact for any real big grunt.

i used a normal rat a month or so ago and it was awesome

tell him that he should go and join some caberet band playing the same songs everyday and getting paid for it rather than being in a punk rock band with the ethics of punk rock being having fun with your friends. tell him he doesn't have to play and the world doesn't depend on his playing then cut all of his strings when he's playing and say 'see, i told you the world wouldn't end. your suffering is in vien'.

i can't wait to get my pedalboard all built up again. looking at a proco rat, line 6 M9 and some kind of synth pedal. plus in time a moog taurus for progz

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='605746' date='Sep 22 2009, 03:14 PM']Yeah the idea crossed my mind, but 2 Strategies would actually be able to run 4 8x10's and my 400+ another 2 In the rack currently is the 400+ and Strategy 400 until I sort out how I'm powering stuff, as I said in another thread going to try a different tube in the 400+ drive section and see if that gives it more headroom and calms the slave down, then I'll likely sell the other Strategy. Else plan is decent preamp such as the Alembic F-2B into 2 Strategies using various wire combinations to power either each side of one strategy or the 2 strategies together, lots of options. I'm sure Matamp will sort the tube preamp, it's an after thought at the moment while they work on their hybrid head and I'm the only person to ask about a preamp so far, so I hope when they sit down and design it they realise it has to be 1u-2u otherwise its a waste of time. I was thinking my rig would look best with 14u shock mounted rack with 4x10 ontop of it and an 8x10 each side [/quote] that would look sweet. i'm contemplating a matamp rig after i get my shuker

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='605732' date='Sep 22 2009, 03:03 PM']What if it had 200 blue led's huh? then you'd want it in a pedal, huh? Man work is boring today.[/quote] 3U is mental! tayste i think you should ditch your 4x10 and get another 8x10 for running both those strategy's. have you got them both in the same rack?
