I thought you were getting a new bass? Haha! Love it, it looks awesome

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='358653' date='Dec 19 2008, 11:26 AM']Dont assume that active basses are always hotter than passive basses either. Some passive basses can have really hot pups and outputs. Some active basses dont have super hot outputs either just the ability to drive long leads or sometimes a balanced output. Its always best to use your ears.[/quote] Indoodly. My cheap Vester J copy had a hotter output than my old Groove 5 and pretty much matches my Retroactive; my Groove fretless in passive mode has the hottest output EVER. Honest

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='357913' date='Dec 18 2008, 01:52 PM']Good value basses, the Jack, and a nicer shape than a Status. **covers head and runs for cover!!** [/quote] Run faster

Trace Elliot V-Type 1x15 combo. Light? Not really - 30kg - but it has castors Loud? Yup Tone? For days

Whooop, Katie!

It's got level controls for "Normal" and "Octave" signals, just turn them up??? I never had a problem with volume

[quote name='bremen' post='357689' date='Dec 18 2008, 11:17 AM']Even if the preamp is overdriven to ridiculous levels you won't damage it.[/quote] Good point

Welcome to the forum! A couple of qs: what budget do you have? what music do you want to play?

It shouldn't matter, as long as you're not overdriving the preamp too hard it'll be fine. Use your ears I always plug my active (18V) Status into the passive i/p on my Trace, always have and always will, coz there's enough headroom. On an Eden Nemesis head I had for a short while I had to use the active pad or it would overload the preamp too much. Each amp is different, so just use your ers

Nice! Do it

Now that I like! Very nice

[quote name='alexclaber' post='357006' date='Dec 17 2008, 02:39 PM']... a 2x15'...[/quote] Now that's a speaker config you really could call the Big One!

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='356888' date='Dec 17 2008, 12:53 PM']As a famous player (I think it was Jamerson) once said, the funk is in the fingers. You can buy all the gear that player X uses, and believe me stick around here and you will see plenty of clones, put if you dont play like they do you wont sound like they do. The Ox always sounded like the Ox no matter what he was playing, even though some people did not like his later sound it was always Ox sound.[/quote] Slightly OT but following on from this, there's a thread on TB at the mo about Rocco Prestia needing a new amp - several guys are saying how they've seen him play Edens, SWRs, GKs etc etc and all the time just sounds the same. Same with me, I can play Ashdowns, Hartkes, Traces, etc etc and still always sound sh*t

[quote name='johnnylager' post='356917' date='Dec 17 2008, 01:27 PM']Aw f*** it, Friday probably! [NHS pay day][/quote] Good man!

I gave into temptation and, as a Christmas/ well-done-for-paying-off-a-chuink-of-CC-bill present I bought one from Coda on Monday, it arrived yesterday and immediately went into hiding in my old Trace head's flightcase so that Nic doesn't notice immediately It won't get a proper going over til Sunday's wedding but I have to say I'm dead excited! So when are you giving in?

Found a good way to solve problem #2: Sell a pedal, take another one off the board so the PSU is only supplying 3 pedals now. Clever!! Problem #1 less sure I can do anything about if it's a dicky switch, it's all so tightly crammed I'd probably bugger the whole thing up. Did discover that the battery my colleague had put in was deader than lime green tank tops with orange shirts though. Not sure if that could have affected it...

You have to be able to play backwards for that Sorry, not helpful. I actually have no idea what equipment was used on that, really must watch the Classic Albums thing...

Just sold my EBS Octabass to Dave, dead quick and easy, thanks! Hope you enjoy the pedal

I'll keep offering this as another amp suggestion coz I think it is so bargainous: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26831"]Hartke LH500[/url] Mine turned up today, can't wait to plug it in!

Good to see it's arrived safely!
