Played through the rehearsal spaces ancient Peavey TKO 1x15 combo last night. With my flats loaded P bass and a DHA Bass Drive pre-amp it sounded bloody wonderful!!
-
Do old schol thumpy type flats (i.e not Fender/D'Addario bright types) without a completely dead E string exist????

@discreet seriously funky playing Sir! What was the HB PB-50 mod...?
-
@Kevsy71 Thanks... that one (v2.0) was just a headstock reshape and a Herrick Alnico Tele 51 pickup upgrade. My most recent one (v3.0) has a Herrick Neo pup, a two-saddle through-body bridge, Wilkinson tuners and a refin in shoreline gold https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/319730-hb-pb-50-modded-version-30/ and is also strung with 9050M.

Massive Ampeg B15 bargain spotted.....all the way down in newbury tho
-
That moment you see some gear you want but have to shift old gear first and it just doesn't seem to sell. Keep checking on the gear I want to make sure its still available aaaarrrrgggghhhhh
-
Never bought from Andy Baxter Bass but the 1973 P bass on his site coupled with their Divido monthly payment scheme is sorely tempting me!
-
Finally caved. MIM classic 50’s P bass purchased on reverb last night. The mrs is gonna go absolutely ape! 😬

Hmmm, an Ashdown CTM 30 through an Ampeg 410he, giggable for small/medium pub gigs with no PA support?

I used a 30 watt rated Ashdown Little Bastard with my Markbass 2x10 and 1x15 cabs for a single gig, I found it was nowhere near loud enough and switched back to the Markbass head at half time, I have to say I was disappointed as we were much liked by pub landlords as a decent covers band who didn't play too loud! So the fact it couldn't even manage a pretty restrained covers band gig in an estate pub meant it was not going to be any good at all for bigger gigs
The amp went back the following day!

Who says flats cant go on a jazz!?! They go on EVERYTHING for me!

From the inception of the Jazz Bass in 1960 until the mid 1970s, Fender fitted flatwound strings as standard.
Jazz Bass with flatwounds and a plectrum, was a very common sound throughout the 1960s and 70s.
If someone doesn't like it then that's their business, but to say it can't be done is stupid.

Stuck picking a cab to go with my Orange Bass Terror - Orange OBC115, Orange OBC410 or Ameg 410HE??????

Totally, TOTALLY different from the 12" cabs. Sounds like a miniature Ampeg fridge. Haven't played a Terror with mine, but knowing the Terror as I do (I've had 3 of them!), and knowing how the Two10 sounds with the other amps I've had (Ashdown ABM, CTM15 & 30, Mesa Walkabout, Ampeg PF-50t) I'd say it'd be a match made in heaven! Certainly worth trying if you get the chance.

Mani selling off a load of gear at Hanks on Denmark street. Love that Ric 4005 but over £3k for an Epi Jack Casady just as it was his?!?!?!
-
Kept it simple last night. My 1974 Precision straight into a 1966 Ampeg SB-12. Beautiful beautiful tone
-
Desperately trying to find a drive pedal to get me that tone in The Fratellis song Halloween Blues! What a tone!
-
Anyone used the Maruszcsyk own brand flats at all? Looking for thump (not modern Chromes type twang) but NO dead E
-
Todays amp gas - Mesa 400 Bass (not the + version mind)
-
NBD - 1978 Tokai Hardpuncher (burst/black/maple) THE best P bass ive ever played. Just stuck my usual flats on and WOW! Pics and thread to follow
-
Really digging some Blondie basslines in this lockdown. Nigel Harrisons tone in Dreaming in particular is lovely. Definitely flatwounds right?
-
Hmmm, do I sell my Ampeg V4B to fund a Mesa BB 750?
-
Took my Orange Terror Bass MK1 to rehearsal last night to be met with the studios in house Ampeg fridge. Excitedly plugged in.......pure mud Ordered some rounds to help (this band doesnt suit my usual flats) and may look at valve changes in the OBT. Very disappointed
-
I had the original MK1 amp for around 12 years, then all of a sudden I stopped liking the sound of it. It also sounded very muddy, even with new strings, treble turned up etc etc. Not sure if the amp had changed, or just my ears/tastes changed but I ended up selling it.
I then ordered one of the new MK2 amps, and I didn't like that either so it went back.
I still have the SP212 cab, but bought an Alpha Omega 500 head to go with it

Hopefully this will help https://www.talkbass.com/threads/orange-terror-500-bass-eq.1417858/

The last rehearsal with my Ampeg V4BH before it goes up for sale to fund my latest bout of GAS
-
Just watched the Made Of Stone DVD and currently obsessing over Mani's live tone both with the Casady basses and the more recent 70's Jazz basses. Lurrrrrvely tone
-
Might be needing a gigging head again soon and the Laney Digbeth 500 is tickling my pickle
-
Last night I FINALLY got THAT sound that ive been chasing:-
'78 Tokai P Bass > Flatwounds > Peavey Alphabass > Ashdown 1510hx with a signal being sent FOH via an Ampeg SVT Tube DI box. Amazing!
-
