    I like it :) Pretty close to my ideal. Main reason I never took the plunge with the MXR comp is that it didn't look like the attack went slow enough.

    well you're the king of the SFX nano so that's very good of you to say. To be really really honest I like control just so much on my comp that I am not sure I would swap the MXR out unless I could be sure of the right functionality. The SFX does look tidy though and my board would just be so pretty.

  2. if the geezer has £1500 and wants to spend it on something lovely then Barrie has just pointed him in the right direction - Ampeg B15N. Oh yeah! Then it begins. Only problem is you need a fcuk off good bedroom to deserve one o them bad boys. I imagine Molan Heights as a trendy loft or baronial mansion, with its vintage fenders, Foderas and Ritters. Maybe we're OK cause "Pete Bigmatch" sounds like a guy ready to do business.

  3. i hate myself for a few things but one is my blind spot for some obviously great music - keep trying but hate Dylan, and keep trying Steely Dan and while I dont hate them, they just dont do much for me. I will follow the links and try again now I am older still.

  4. Yeah, assuming you will be doing a reasonable amount of headphone playing, I think the preamp, recording style set up is the way to go, with a wee combo for practice. Do you record? songwrite? videos? Anyway the [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Pre_Amplifiers_Phil_Jones_Bass.html"]Phil Jones Bass Buddy[/url] is an excellent tiny preamp with decent features including compressor. I loved mine. Obviously you could go mental and get a SWR MM pre or an Avalon!? That's would be a total luxury. In terms of combo, some good suggestions so far- Roland, ashdown, markbass - but if you really have a bit of cash, then a [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/PJB_CUB.html"]Phil Jones combo[/url] might be a decent option? Small, very good sound. The Cub is designed to sit by a desk or whatever so you could even use that for your headphone work, avoiding the need for a pre? There are bigger PJ options. I would maybe add in a B3 for FX.

  5. Just got a nice long instrument lead fro Dave with neutrik silent jacks (1 straight 1 right angled). It arrived almost before I ordered it and it came with the reassuring aura of total expertise and professionalism.
