I am thinking about getting another Hartke LH500. I had one at the start of the year but traded with my 8x10". I tried one at a practice the other week through a Peavey 4x10" and really liked the sound with the Thunderbird. I would like to have the chance to do a gig with one before I think about selling my Gallien head to make sure it is what I want and I don;t have the money to buy the Hartke and still have the Gallien. I wouldn't expect anyone to loan me their amp but I am unsure exactly what to do.

Unless you don't like the feel of your bass then there's no need to change. I have lots of love for the Thunderbirds but if you want one with a neck close to the Jazz then you need a Goth as they are narrower than the standard one Totally out of fashion as well so you can pick them up pretty cheap at the minute. I am a firm believer that as long as a bass can be adjusted to your liking it can be played live whether in your front room or on stage. You could probably pick up the rig I am using second hand within your budget ish. I love Trace Elliot cabs and have had loads of them. A lot of people are in lightweight mode so anything that weighs more than a cigarette paper is going for silly money. There is so much information available here and most of us are glad to be of assistance if you need any info to get yourself up and running

I've always wanted one after seeing Jack Bruce play one with his fingers from many moons ago. Hmm wonder if He'd have gone for the Gibby if the paint was actually dry on his after The Fool paint job

is it just me or does the colour of the body compared to the scratchplate make the bass look like one of those £50 jobs off Ebay?

one amp and 2 4x10"s so I can use 1 cab for gigs with PA support and bring the doom for the rock stuff

Very useful and interesting as well as showing pictures of some beautiful and rare models - Bound neck maple fretless Jazz anyone?

As part of their New Year sale at the beginning of the year they were advertising SVT IIs for £800 so I thought, brilliant, just finished the Christmas gigs, big pile of money, I'll have one of those. I emailed them to see if they had any and the guy responded by saying that he doubted that they would get any in - well don't advertise something at a fantastic price that you can't sell.

Right, just back from the gig. when the boost was full on it was so close to what I wanted but I just needed that tiny bit more so am going to have a look out for a mild overdrive pedal to just take it over the edge cos at the minute its Close to the Edge

I used to split my signal between guitar and bass amp when I had the 12 string and did exactly that and it was very good.

Hmm, its possible that I may already own the solution to this. Whilst browsing the GK manual, all of the suggested settings for different sounds feature the boost control at the 12 o'clock position so I've just plugged my amp in with one of the cabs and cranked the boost control up and its really dirty. Jeez I've used these amps for so long I never realised they could go that dirty. What an idiot. I'm going to try it out at tonight's gig to see what it sounds like at gig volumes.

Has anyone else noticed that most online shops have no or little stock of anything Behringer right now and most are quoting estimated arrival as next year? This thread is not to bash Behringer, merely to see if anyone knows anything.

There's a guy on Ebay selling ready made PCBs I don't like to derail but I will anyway How easy is it going to be to attach everything else to this such as pots, jacks etc? [url="http://shop.ebay.co.uk/icecreamterror/m.html"]http://shop.ebay.co.uk/icecreamterror/m.html[/url] Sounds like a good idea for someone like me who's confident soldering pots but with no experience of PCBs and 10 thumbs

every time - I took one of mine out briefly during last year's Motorhead gig. Deary Jesus, it was hellishly loud. totally unbearable. There must've been a lot of deaf people in Glasgow for a good few days after that one

The Rickenbacker 4004LK couldn't be further from the one he became famous for using. Fair enough he plays this one live now but the age old question is - is Lemmy's original one real? I don't think anyone's had a close enough look at it to see if it is. i may have a chance to ask in a couple of weeks time.

I buy stuff from these guys from time to time. They do a lot of different printable paper. [url="http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/"]http://www.craftycomputerpaper.co.uk/[/url] In fact my Goth T-Bird now has a white scratchplate which is simply white matt adhesive paper with the bicentennial Bird on it stuck over the original

Definitely. If I was closer I;d have it. One thing you'll need to be careful of is that you may not be able to add a second cab as its 4 ohms and most amps only go as low as 4ohms. Richardd is selling a Peavey amp for peanuts. He;s in Lincoln but I'm sure couriering it would be dooable as they go down to 2ohms so you could add a second 4 ohm cab in the futue if you needed it

Heard it all before Still, nothing beats the thrill and anticipation of having something new and shiny winging its way to you, for about 5 minutes
