    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1343823445' post='1755744'] I just love the look of these amps but too heavy for me. [/quote] Shows how far bass amps have come, when a 13lb head is regarded as heavy

    As above please, what nut width do the 4 and 5 string versions of these basses have?
  3. franzbassist
    This bass is now on hold pending payment

    For me, Neil Murray in his Whitesnake days, and Martin Turner of Wishbone Ash.

    [quote name='Rasta' timestamp='1343143545' post='1745984'] Interested in a swap for my 51 RI P bass ?

    Hi folks My Veillette wears La Bella black nylons that are 38 3/4" from ball end to silk. While I like the strings very much I fancy trying something else, but almost all extra long strings seem to be 38". Anyone know of anything that bit longer? Cheers Gareth

    Hmm, tempting.....

    [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1342183949' post='1731032'] Personally, I'd get a 10 or 12" lightweight cab to go with the Reidmar. Even in an acoustic trio, you might struggle with a 60W amp (I certainly would). [/quote] I agree, a nice EBS Classic or (2nd hand) Neo cab would be ideal.

    Not even sure this should qualify, but this is what I have at my feet for each gig...

    [quote name='chilli' timestamp='1342050245' post='1728925'] SA Dual Expression pedal --- Subdecay Echoboc --- SA BEF Pro --- ss/bs TAFM --- SA MWD Pro --- ss/bs TAFM w/gate [/quote] What do you think of the Soundlox pedals? I love the look of those two.

    [quote name='dincz' timestamp='1342090338' post='1729307'] When you say harsh on the ear, do you mean when running at sensible volume or when at or approaching clipping? [/quote] Sensible volume. I just much preferred the XLS's tone, as did my band mates.....
  15. franzbassist
    I've had both and much preferred the sounds coming from the XLS. I found the IPR hellishly loud but somewhat harsh on the ear. Also, unless they have changed the design, the IPR1600 isn't bridgeable in the traditional sense. Insead, if you use just one speaker output it gives more power to that output than if you were using two.

    [quote name='Opticaleye' timestamp='1342011718' post='1727984'] I disagree that the head is not versatile in the sense that the sound it produces can be used in most genres. [/quote] You expressed what I meant far better than I did in my rushed off post!
  17. franzbassist
    I'm [i]loving[/i] my TTE500. It's not the most versatile head in the world, but the core tone is fantastic, and as per Mr Muzz above, it's as sexy as hell! Yes, I took the badges off....

    [quote name='paulie' timestamp='1341955290' post='1727113']I love it but I tried one of these Randy Jackson heads in Bass Gear and the sound suited my style[/quote] That one is mine now, along with two of the matching cabs. Absolutely love these heads.

    Thanks Nick. Decided not to "go large" and stick with my Nano, but have a bump on me!
  20. franzbassist
    Not interested in any other makes, but if you have a BSX Allegro 4 and fancy a 5, please let me know!
  21. franzbassist
    Yum yum
  22. franzbassist
    I would recommed Phil Jones Bass for this bass - very clean and transparent tone.

    [quote name='hollowsbass' timestamp='1341683945' post='1722797'] I know you cant see me but I'm hanging my head in shame as i type this. I have now watched your video, i didnt notice it was one, i thought it was a photo... I thought it was a well explained demo but would have liked to have heard you drive it a bit harder, you almost did but backed off. I think you are in your garage so i guess it wasnt possible?[/quote] Haha, you do know I was only teasing... Worth noting that, try as I might, I could never get mine to go gritty [quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1341682935' post='1722766'] Utmost respect to your playing WB but the reason for the reference was I'm after some Old Skool "Phat" tones from my next amp and your videos display the nice Honk that the Spyder has. Is it a one trick pony or is there some "mellow" tone to be found also. [/quote] I think a lot of the honk was due to the fact that it was a P bass being used. I used the amp with all my other basses and never thought it was inherently "honky". Great amps, lovely warm core sound with a simple user interface, but actually nice and versatile.

    [quote name='hollowsbass' timestamp='1341680670' post='1722720'] Well I have havent seen the video threads you mention[/quote] You mean the video I posted in this very thread to assist you in your sale? I'm hurt

    [quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1341673647' post='1722599'] I think it was a bog brush by the look of it [/quote] Should have been mocha then?
