Has anyone gone from lightweight back to heavy?
krispn replied to AndyTravis's topic in Amps and Cabs
[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1482592555' post='3201674'] So what's the big rig??? I have the TTE500 also, and I've on the fence with it to be honest. It is great, but there is just a little something missing. [/quote] The TTE is a fine head which I've happily gigged for ages but I remember deciding once I got my car I was getting heavy transformers in metal boxes And after a few changes this is the rig! Same cab as I'd use with the TTE (sorry the 212 is in its cover - it's a neo cab and is super light btw) but I do sometimes use a small fender 110 combo for super small gigs. The big rig sounds fantastic and it has power and headroom for days. It's 800W@4ohm and the cab seems to sound better with volume. I've used it in pubs and theatre gigs and it's been perfect. On a side note.... I tend to lift correctly, only take what I can reasonably manage and try and keep myself relatively fit and healthy. I've done loads of manual handling courses with work, only lift when I need to and use a roller case for the 'rig'. I normally only use one bass at a gig. My two main gigs suit each bass. The 5er on the choir gigs and the 4 string on the other pub gig. -
Another flawless transaction. Nick you're a gent!

Hacking again that lovely Squier Matt Freeman: from Jazz to simply JJ

Surely this bass should be renamed the Hack Freeman JJ 🙃 -

I was lucky enough to grab a Dingwall SuperPZ5 from these very forum pages. It's a 5 string P with a great neck, it's lightweight, great intonation and it sounds like a P bass it's got a cool tone knob which can do p bass, thump and a 'scooped' slap sound should one desire. It's my only bass and every time I consider getting another bass I play this and find myself asking do I really need another bass. Am I GAS free? Nope but this is like Subutex (Subutex is an opioid receptor modulator that is used to treat people with opioid addiction). Basically buy a Dingwall P5 and you've basically got a mixed partial agonist to prevent you buying another 'unnecessary' bass.

I've a TTE500 for the grab and go rehearsals but my main gigging venue has no stairs and parking right out front so the big rig -preamp poweramp set up - comes to those gigs as well as the bigger Gigs I sometimes play. I love the sound from the big rig and while it's heavy my Tecamp 212 isn't and it sounds good to me on stage. I'd love to get my hands on a couple of DB112 cabs but honestly the 212 is doing no wrong for me just now to justify a change. -
Rooler case bought from Kevin Perfect for my needs and in tip top condition. Cheers

Bough some string - easy transaction and arrived exactly when he said they would. His feedback thread speaks for itself...all 9 pages

Bought a pedal from this local bass chatter. Had a couple of lovely chats and the whole process was great. Meeting folk who share an interest is half the fun buying face-to-face. Hope to do business again soon!

For sale is a 5 string set of La Bella Deep Talkin Flatwounds XL Scale (38" ball to silk) 45-128's. Got these off Old Horse Murphy but I prefer my Lakland (GHS) Flats. He only had them a week with minimal use. They were on and off my bass in a few days - I actually had to put the round wounds on for a gig and the GHS flats are going back on. I paid £37 but lets call it £35 posted. Bank transfer preferred! Cheers

So I've had this from new and would consider swapping for the transformer version. Not the Lundhal but the Iron Core A.K.A Cali 76-TX The Germanium version was limited to 100 units (mine is 37) and when you dial in the germanium drive it offers a really pleasing filth to the tone. Possibly this is better suited to guitarists but I found it to give a great tone for those Muse bass lines gobs of fuzz and tight compression. This would be for a swap only and I'm not interested in other comps. I just think I can make more use of the features in the TX version and I find the TX-L to lack some of the character of the TX Mine has been on my pedal board since I got it some some scratches on the side but purely cosmetic. It will come with the original (numbered) box. Thanks for looking.

I'll stick my oar in. Mark bass TTE 500 is an all valve pre amp (and analogue power module). I've pm'd you about mine which I may sell in the new year! It can sound growly with the gain driving the pre amp but has a master volume to keep things balanced.

The effectrode is great and adds a nice warmth. The Origin is great too. Budget will be a factor but the suggestions here are all good starting points. Ovnilabs is a great resource. Search google and prepare to be overwhelmed with good info
