Not super old ....But got a bad monkey back on my board, sounds pucka through a valve head

I'm keen to try one of these, looks quite cool as well :-)

they have gone back to the traditional fender style P headstocks. I had a Japanese hardpuncher just after the lawsuits ( more pointed headstock) and it was sublime :-) intrigued by these new ones also

I'm definitely going :-) i have a new set of flats for the raffle and ill have a dig around for other bit's.

Sold my VT bass to Dom.. wonderful Basschater to deal with, no worries here :-)

My absolute fave P bass pup. Wonderful for cutting through with Rick and punk, big output, with them being mid forward they seem more articulate ( to me)

i love them 50's necks . nice bass man .....would have kept the gold plate if twas mine

What amp do you normally play? ...Just out a curiosity :-)

That is identical to the year head I had. I have to admit when I first got it I set everything noon and was quite deflated........ After a good noodle with my band "that sound" was there. Don't take a solid view from that one amp mate, hope you have the chance to have a good play on another

What kind of SVT was it? I found you need to drop the low and boost the mid on my CL with the low and high engaged it sounded phenomenal! Excatly the tone I heard on many a great album ( nirvana etc etc) very growly. Could it be that actual amp was a bit pump in performance?

I just sold my OC2 to Perry .....lovely chap to deal with, no worries here :-)

bought a sould food from Dave. great com's and a hastle free deal :-)

Excellent :-) primarily Count me in ( need to check the diary ).more than happy to bring my Fender super bassman 300 head and ampeg cab for anyone to try , with a bundle of pedals.

I heard one of these at the Fender roadshow few yrs back and it was a thunderous tone with clear mids and highs. Nice one. Maybe i should look at that instead of the AD200b head altho i've tried the Orange and liked it a lot. Dave [/quote] Obviously(as always) you should go with what sounds and fits best for you :- )........ but i just couldn't dial a great tone (for me) with that orange head , i found it far to bass heavy and too much low mids( thats with knowing flat is around quarter/full/quarter on the low mid high). I play Drop C in a loud band , i couldn't get that head to keep clean enough to cut through without distortion! and the head was properly biased without fault . I highly recommend you try the bassman out if you have the chance to before you buy as it is really in another league imo . it's a very versitile amp that most tones you could think of can be found with ease ,with a splendid weight behind each note. i find it easier to carry than the orange even if it is a touch heavier :-)
