    Oh my word that is absolutely incredible

    My £250 Yamaha BB425 had a great B string. I completely agree that it's not all about how much money you spend. A badly designed bass is a badly designed bass regardless of its price tag. I've had some great 5 string basses and never spent anywhere near £2000 Granted there should be less basses with bad B strings at that price having spent so much money

    Late Thursday bump Available to post from Monday 15th August and available to collect or meet up from 11.30pm on Saturday night [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/20150718_202306_zpstvamlu0g.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/20150718_202306_zpstvamlu0g.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    That's an absolutely stunning bass. One of the few basses I've never owned is a Precision fretless

    I bought my Sterling without trying one as I couldn't find anywhere that had one. Luckily it's a fantastic instrument and really suits my playing style. Alternatively I could never ever get on with Stingrays. I didn't like the feel of them and could never get the Stingray growl. Turns out I can from my Sterling.

    I haven't heard if my Barefaced cab will be ready in time for a gig this Saturday so for anyone interested in it I'd like to be able to use it one last time before I box it up. If you really, really want it sooner then I will still box it up for you and send sooner if possible. Alternatively, I am playing in Glasgow on Saturday night and you can take it from me at 11.30pm when we finish

    My experience of the Resolites was when I was putting together a Warmoth bass. I must have drilled the holes slightly too small and instead of getting resistance telling me this, one of the screws snapped

    When I played a 5 string I always used [url="http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=142&productname=EXL165_5_Nickel_Wound_5_String_Bass__Custom_Light__45_135__Long_Scale"]D'addario 165-5[/url] strings which come with a 135 B string and this is only marginally lower tension than the E

    I've just had the email to say my new cab should be with me in the next week so I am pre-empting it by putting my amazing Rumble 500 combo up for sale. I've had it 18 months and it has lived in its Roqsolid cover since then. Condition wise, it is immaculate all round. There are some marks to the tolex underneath and I'm guessing that it's when I've set the combo down on a gravel car park but other than that it is tip top. These are incredibly loud combos and if you've never played through one, this picture shows the levels I have it set to for gigs (I don't use the overdrive or any of the shape buttons) [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0067_zpskatuv0gb.jpg.html"][/url] It's rated at 350w on its own or 500w with an extension cab but I've never need to use one. Plus it comes in at a very back friendly 16.5kgs. I still have the original box so posting isn't an issue and I am looking for £400 + £15 postage. Any questions, please fire away [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0069_zpswwjrtpg6.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0068_zpshmqfgdz8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0066_zpscaxl51ju.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0065_zpsy3ziwewy.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0064_zpsffcffoko.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0062_zpszkjwn4fl.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Fender%20Rumble%20500/DSC_0061_zpsmkctx5yl.jpg.html"][/url]

    Plenty of heft. I'll be surprised if it lasts the weekend before being sold
  11. Delberthot
    Fantastic combos these. light, loud and solid build quality

    I had bought this off the forum to go with my Barefaced One 10 but the long wait has had me looking at other options so I've decided to go with something else instead. I haven't used it since I bought it but it's in very good condition and comes with a brand new power cable. I'm looking for £170 posted or best offer [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0002_zpsjplk5glj.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0001_zpsxxzuofxw.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Pedals%20and%20BH250/DSC_0005_zpsacq7powk.jpg.html"][/url]

    I found those strings on a single coil Precision tuned down a semi tone were amazing but yes I can't imagine playing these strings at full tension either
  14. Delberthot
    I've had both and didn't think the GK was up to the job. It somehow felt fragile, that if I took it to a certain level it would break. those were just my thoughts at the time so I decided to sell it after a couple of months. It was a series 1 combo I had with matching 15" cab The Rumble on the other hand feels solid and powerful but a level of power that I don't ever need to push it. Soundwise, the GK didn't do the GK growl for me having owned 800RB & 700RB II amps. From what I've heard the MB Fusion gets a lot closer. It sounded plain and kind of meh to me. Might have been the amp, might have been the cab or might have been both. The Fender sounds a better amp regardless of what bass I've used with it. Having said that I will be selling my Rumble combo in a week or so when my Barefaced cab arrives as I want to go even lighter and don't need so much power. I'll put up a for sale ad when I do.

    These basses are fantastic. I've ended up selling all of my other basses now and kept my Sterling. So light compared to my previous SR5 & Yamaha BB1025. Makes long wedding.function gigs a breeze now

    I usually go for designer labels such as F et F, Jorge & Matt Allan

    That's an incredible price for one of these. Been after a fretless corvette for years.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1468762641' post='3093144'] You use a 110 for low B? Be interested to hear it! Basically, my opinion of these is that if you need to drop mid song, then they are invaluable. Any other use, its just as easy to quickly tune down, you'll learn to do it by ear and muscle memory quickly, I can easily just give my tuning key a quick turn without thinking about it and hit D on the nose. I do have one fitted to one of my basses, I hardly ever use it. But they are very good at doing what they do, no complaints! [/quote] I drop to the B for Uptown Funk and Get Lucky. It still sounds and feels pretty good but if you overcook things you can push the string off the edge of the fretboard when fretting a note due to the drop in tension. A standard 130 roundwound D'addario string tuned to B has a tension of 34.5lbs whereas a 110 Chrome string tuned to B is 29lbs so it's not as big a difference as you would think. I don't use mine much either but I was finding my Stingray 5 to be a tad heavy so I went through the band set list and worked out what I needed a 5 for & what I could modify my playing for to see if I could use a 4 instead. Turns out it wasn't as bad as I thought so sold the Stingray and bought a Sterling instead. Much lighter. I had used drop D for years but I had to learn how to use drop B which was interesting

    I have Chromes and use a 110 E string and a Hipshot double stop so I can go down to D and B during songs

    Have you tried Roland UK? I needed a load of bits to repair a pedal a year or so ago and they were really cheap

    [quote name='paul_c2' timestamp='1469116890' post='3095920']out of tune bagpipes is the main reason why people dislike them, its quite a complicated process to get them in tune!! [/quote] So I take it no one in history has managed it yet as they all sound like a bag of cats

    I too had a TNT160 which I traded a couple of years later for a Trace 7210H combo and then added a 1048H cab. At the end of the 90s I bought a Trace 1153 and Gallien Krueger 800RB.

    There's a thread over on Talkbs about running 2x12" and 1x12" GK cabs but I think they were referring to the neo versions but shouldn't really make any difference. The overall consensus was that they worked great together. The 1x12" sat on top so that you could hear it better to make sure that you weren;t pushing it too hard. I did something similar a couple of years ago when I had a Hartke LH1000 going into a Laney 4x10" and Laney 15". I had the 15" on top of the 4x10" so that I could hear the 15" better as it was rated at half the wattage of the 4x10". Plus the Hartke has a balance control so I could send more to the 4x10" than the 1x15" Plus it looked mighty and sounded fantastic [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/20140705_193535_resized_3_zps63b45515.jpg.html"][/url]
