The LM2 was last made in 2008. The LM2 and LM3 have been amongst the biggest selling heads for many years now, so the fact that we are seeing failures shouldn't be a surprise and doesn't indicate a latent fault. There will be many thousands of LM2 and LM3 out there and all will give up the ghost eventually.

Perhaps only lasting 12 years is a real fault in itself 🤔................

Do these sound anything like the metro ? Stunning condition....... 

Get an solderless emg circuit in there tho 🤔😁

Got any proper test data? Nope, it's all anecdotal preferences.

 

On the other hand there is one well known trial where nobody could tell the two apart despite insistence that the class D was not worthy of the brand.

 

There's a bazillion Class D amps out there thumping away happily and a handful of non believers raging against the Diabolicalness with nothing but their preferences.

 

Test ????????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thousands of pounds down the drain buddy is all the tests i need. And your saying only a handfull of working bass players using a/b.... Have you got proof of that 😂

Theres some pissy pants here....... One things for sure too say people cant tell the differences between an a/b and a class d amp is just plain stupid. Why would so many people not get on with them if thats the case ? You ,d have to be deaf not too be able to actually name a tone hammer or rh750 ect outright in any test😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice homely looking bass but your going too bass jail for that bridge. I need counselling after looking at that 😉😂😂😂

Haptic feedback devices - woojer, backbeat - and boards, or buttkicker - all alleviate that perceived lack of feel you may have if you had no physical amp on stage. And they can pretty much can do do more than the vibration you'd ever get from a cab.

Thank you sir i will have a look into this witchcraft.....

tbf thats a great looking bass.....

Meh. Be done with it.

 

IEM and go through the PA. You'll be able to hear everything super clearly, not rag your ears... and your band will sound better for it too.

i couldnt ever be without the physicality and presence of the bass on the stage. I have too feel the colour of each note from its vibration. I cant hear with just my ears although my hearing is excellent. Caused much banging of heads over 20 years to be honest in night clubs, bigger venues with sound men, but we were always re booked. Recently been diagnosed with autism in my late 40,s which might explain that.

Thats exactly my gripe with all the class d amps i,ve had. You lose the outline of the bass note, it just goes boomy and the tone kicks in and over powers the low signal when volume is applied.

Fair too also add to this topic that apart from the gk mb800, all the other class d amps i have owned, had a coloured tone you cant dial out. Non more so than the tone hammer and rh750 i,ve sold over the week end. 

No doubt they work for many, out every week, but i think its a combination of reasons people opt for these. Not many have sighted sound alone above tbf 🤔.

None of these heads imo would stand up to a blind sound test comparison ie: a mesa subway against big block ect 

Truly stunning that...... Filthy

Of the four basses I have at the moment (two Jazz, two Precision) three are sunburst, but the white Precision is too good a bass to be bothered by its colour.

fully agreed white fenders can sit in any rack. Soon to be on its way too you sir.............. SOLD

I've got as far as adding a new Vintera Precision to a shop's basket several times, but back off when I wonder how long I could manage looking at the bright red finish (I won't even mention the weird green ones). I always think 'if only they did these in sunburst' - and here it is! 

yh the 2 tone is classic and very tastefull.

The emergence of class D heads had me very excited! 800 watts in small box light box. No more lugging around huge transformers, great!

 

Except apart from the easy carry the rest of the story has been pretty erm stinky poo!!

 

Despite 8 years, five heads and every Eq patten under the sun. I simply cannot get on with the sound at volume. 😬

 

I”ve tried TC Electronics (BH 550) Aguilar (TH500) Tech 21 (VT) Markbass (Tube 800) and finally Mesa Boogie (D800) and no matter if you put a valve in front of them, a compressor before them, a neo or a ceramic speaker from them, or summon a religious cult behind them. They sound too direct at volume to my ears.

 

I tried, but I’m going back to my Class A/B happy place! 😊

1000% agree. Just brought another. Up for sale already. Can get a decent sound at lower volume as soon as i touch the volume its gone and it cant be dialled back in. It just doesnt clean up the way i like.

I think it depends alot on your desired sound. Alot of cats nowadays are tone monsters. Some have almost no bass in the signal. These amps are ideal for them.  Too my ears they just get boomier but boxier sounding.

I like the old school rounded low end oomph from the older suitcases. There is actually a science behind it and it lies with the power supply not the wattage.

Fender classic 50,s series p bass for sale.

Not long had this cracking p bass but the wider neck is causing problems with an old hand injury. 

 Excellent condition apart from a tiny ding at the back of the strap button at the bottom of the bass. Can barely be seen up close. Sounds phenomenal. Looks stunning. The one piece maple neck is top class and should be on every fender.  Comes with the fender gig bag. Sad sale. But a real bargain for someone. Bass can be posted at buyers expense. 

Thats hard too resist.

Hi people, have recently brought a bass with a status jazz neck on and a few other top quality donor parts. The previous owner/modder  has bolted the neck on blindfolded and its slightly off meaning the string spacing is slightly wonky 😒😒😂. I did enough research before buying to know its an easy fix but the guys were US based. Do any of you intelligent beings know of a uk based/sold epoxy thats reliable and drillable. Many thanks for any help offered.

Did a meet up with dave. (atleast one member of the public went home thinking they had seen a drug deal going down in tesco,s 😂). He was punctual. The item was at a great price and as advertised. Didnt even blow the house up or kill the dog when pluging it in. Great bloke aswell.

I used to have this exact setup 20 years ago.  If I had the space I'd love to have another one!

Yep im the same. Wouldnt take much too recover it and swap it for the tv in the front room 🤔😉

That is a museum piece right there

Only ever played one relic, which was the road worn classic 50. I own the normal one and have too say the rounded board edges, sanded neck ect, Did infact make the road worn nicer to play. I will get around too buying one eventually 

that matt blacks tidy tbf

Stunning..... And you rarely see them for sale these days

thats a hell of a cab. Monstrous sound for it size. Wish they,d of had these 20 years ago 😂
