Why is it under the heading 'Enterprise routers' instead of Bassguitars? As is his other Stingray. Very curious?

I think it should change it's name to [url="http://www.bassgeeks.co.uk"]www.bassgeeks.co.uk[/url]

Tut, tut.....always put a reserve price on whatever you sell. Of course you could just pull it?

The TC Classic 450 sounded VERY loud when I played it through the BC212 I used to have. I could never get the same volume when I played my ABM through the same cab (may be due to the weird compression circuits the TC uses to get more volume out of less watts) . So far I've played the MiBAss loud only once through an old Ashdown 4x10 provided at a gig I play at regularly and it sounded loud and clear. I'll be playing with a rocky 3 piece on Sunday through my ABM Neo 15" cab in a venue where you need to be LOUD so it will get a good test. I'll bring my ABM with me 'just in case' and I'll post on how things went next week.

Great stuff.

This looks like the right fittings and measurements. I've bought it for my ABM head so hopefully it will fit. I'll report back when I receive it.

They used to use what was called tick tack bass a lot in the sixties where one bass was used for the deep part and the click was added later by doubling the part using a early 6 string bass/baritone guitar. You can get a similiar sound by damping the strings at the bridge with foam and using a pick.

There's a lot of posts which I haven't read yet BUT you do need to get down to the nitty gritty and find out why he re-recorded your tracks. Because if he doesn't like your playing you may as well find out now rather than when he introduces you to the new bass player the day before the band starts the european tour. Because if it happened to me I'd assume the writing was on the wall.

Ooooooh! Email from Alex compact on the way. He says should be with me next week.

There is no words I can possibly say that describe how awful that lot are. I thought it was a shred at first. They'd all been at the hospitality bar/drug dealer for a long time beforehand methinks. But then I always thought Mitch Mitchell was crap anyway.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1338208814' post='1670773'] Im beginning to think i may need to try another MiBass 550. I had one briefly but it didn't stand up to the ABM... maybe i should revisit... [/quote] I originally bought an old UK built EB 150 1x15 combo 6 years ago and really liked the sound (still have it and still like it). The ABM gets the same sound but with more grunt and the MiBass is very similiar with really versatile EQ (I think Ashdown call it semi parametric). There's almost a compressed quality to the sound (although there is no onboard compressor) which makes it really punchy and so far I'm very happy with it. I'll be playing wiith a loud rock/blues band at the weekend so will see how it gets on but I'm sure it will sound great (and it's insanely light too which is a bonus).

I just didn't like the sound of my TC Classic 450. It sounded as if there was a big frequency gap where the low mid should be which meant it just didn't have any punch. I sold it and got an Ashdown ABM which sounds great. I've just bought an Ashdown MiBass which is 550 watts and only 5lbs in weight. It's loud and has loads of punch and sounds even better than my ABM. I would definitely recommend it.

Sound is very subjective. Some people love the super Hi Fi sound you can get from digital amps and others love a bit of grit in their sound. I've bought and sold four amps in the last 18 months looking for the sound and portability I wanted and I think I've found it now with the Ashdown MiBass I've just bought. Two of the four amps I had were fitted with valves in the preamp and two weren't. If you're going for a rocky sound or you're planning on playing Stranglers or Motorhead covers turning up the gain and getting a distorted sound may come in useful for you but if you're not it's probably a bit pointless. I certainly wouldn't pay extra for a valve preamp.

I'd love to play 'Hit me with your rhythm stick' but I've never been in the kind of covers band that would have played it. I did a dep job once and I got to play 'Black night' by Deep Purple which was definitely one of the songs on my bucket list.

[attachment=108803:3981_Fender_Geddy_Lee_Jazz_3_Tone_Sunburst_T007864_a.jpg] I disagree but of course different strokes for different folks.

This Sir is a travesty! Only Jazz basses are allowed to be seafoam green.

If the Geddy was set up properly you would notice that the neck is the thinnest neck Fender make. Whether that's a good or a bad thing depends on your preference. The pickups on the Geddy are vintage US built ones which can sound a bit thin when on the Geddy because the very thin maple neck does affect the sound (I know as I have a Geddy neck on my Jazz at the moment fitted with DiMarzio 123 pickups which sound anything but thin when teamed up wiith a rosewood neck). Of course as Squiers get better and better people are asking this question more and more i.e. are we getting any more value for our money when we buy a Fender instead of a Squier or are we just paying for the Fender name? Good question!

Change the tuning on your bass. I recommend F# Eb C A. Then try to play those old boring licks of yours in the right key...........that'll get the old grey matter working overtime.

I sign as Elvis Presley.

Bought Stevie's MiBass a great price and very nice it is too. A total gent.

Have just played first gig with my new (preloved) MiBass and it sounded great. I was worried it wouldn't have the grunt I wanted but it has plenty of volume. It has a very punchy sound almost like it's compressed. I much prefer the sound of the MIBass to my old TC Classic 450. I may have my Ashdown ABM up for sale soon at this rate.

Wecome. Those Silver series Squiers Jazzes were nice basses. I have one still.
