  2. NEW PEDAL INCOMING!!! Mesa Bottle Rocket en route!

      Yes! They're stunning, never seen one in the flesh but it's probably for the best! :biggrin:

      I had a white one. Absolutely stunning bass. One of those 'wish I'd have kept it' ones, but as I play 5's now it's just as well.

  4. Really digging some Blondie basslines in this lockdown. Nigel Harrisons tone in Dreaming in particular is lovely. Definitely flatwounds right?

      I have not had the pleasure of seeing Blondie live and in person, but I have seen Nigel play a few times in his previous band ...Silverhead.

      Oh yeah:

      Thanks for the tip.  I learned something from that.

      Blondie set list, that's not a bad idea, love Clem Burke as well, rhythm section rules.

  5. Revisiting lots of old gear recently.  Now im really gassing for a Burns Bison bass!

  6. So obsessed with Leigh Foxx's live tone on the T In The Park vids from 2011 im starting to GAS for a Sepctor!!! But im a dyed in the wool P bass man!!!!!

      It does sound very good though. Big and fat. Give it a try. You might like it!

      Good lord that tone is thick

      Hello from a newbie  ...

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

      not a BF fan im afraid, tho have never tried their 2x10

    3. Bigwan

      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.

      I have an orange 115 doing nothing, its in black and has never been gigged mint condition, am only in blackburn if you want to try it out

  11. 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

      Pow....that's been my life story, mate...you forgot to mention how when you have the cash, nobody wants to sell...

      'When you have the cash'... nope, don't understand that at all. :D

    4. lowregisterhead

      lowregisterhead

      Buy it. Then the lack of cash will focus the mind beautifully on rooting out and selling everything you haven't used for years....

  12. the bass tone on "Queen - Keep Yourself Alive" is this weeks addiction.  The low notes either with lovely valve breakup or a small speaker at its limits.  Lovely!

      I think he used Acoustic gear live.

  13. The last rehearsal with my Ampeg V4BH before it goes up for sale to fund my latest bout of GAS :( 

    1. discreet

      discreet

      Eeek! You're going to miss that, for sure. Bad time of year for me to be buying stuff otherwise I'd have that particular goodie. How about I take it as a gift in the spirit of the season..? :D

      Oh no. GAS strikes again! What have you got GAS for now Pow_22?

      My advice?? Try one and get over it - every Mesa I've tried has disappointed me...

      400+ is a great amp, used mine for years.

      i've just 'picked up' a mesa buster 15" combo and it's incredible! i do love the mesa tone, currently got a walkabout and had a M2000 but finally i've got the real deal. Real tone comes at the cost of weight!

  15. Todays GAS - a Squier 77 Jazz Bass in burst

  16. Todays random bass musing - could I get a Precision Bass Lyte, put active EMG P/J pups in and also stick a Spector Tonepump in it?

    1. Bigwan

      Bigwan

      Why couldn't you?

    2. Deepbass

      Deepbass

      Do they sell the circuit separately ...?

  17. torn between the new burst Squier 50's P bass (single coil) or the Squier 70's P bass...hmmmmmm

    1. kodiakblair

      kodiakblair

      Single coil every time, normal P-basses are ten-a-penny. 

  18. Unexpected NAD - Warwick Tubepath 5.1 en route

      Marc S

      "unexpected"? Did you fall into the shop, and your credit card accidentally slip into the card reader? ;)
      Happy NAD - don't forget to let us know your thoughts on how it performs :)

  19. Unexpected NAD.  Im my quest to downsize from my current ampeg rig - an Ashdown Touring 550 2x10 Combo

    1. SpondonBassed

      SpondonBassed

      I had to check just in case you had woken up with three this morning after a visit from the goolie fairy.

      Now I realise my mistake.

      I like Ashdown.  I hope you get a blast out of yours too.

      I like combos. I'm a big fan of making things as simple as possible at gigs. Bass, strap, lead, lightweight combo. Set up in less than a minute. Everything flat, turn it up, bingo. Play set. Pack away in less than a minute and gone. :)

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

      "Who says flats cant go on a jazz!?!"  no-one. it's an urban legend - just like saying a swan will break your arm. No documented evidence anywhere (swans or flats)

    4. EssentialTension

      EssentialTension

      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.

  21. Why is it so hard to find a 4ohm sealed cab in pub friendly size???

    1. acidbass

      acidbass

      Is sealed a benefit in small spaces?  Always wondered.

    2. bassbiscuits

      bassbiscuits

      My Schroeder 1210 is pub sized, and a sealed cab, and 4ohms, and more than loud enough for most gigs.

      They're a bit hard to come by tho.

  22. Anyone here grab the vintage SVT that went on ebay for £850?  Was tempted and fairly local alas house move at the moment is eating all my fun funds

  23. Anyone know how to get a previously locked for sale thread re-opened?  I withdrew my P bass but something has come up that means i want to advertise it again

  24. Been offered a deal on a head and cab, seller wont split tho.  How in demand would an Ashdown 2x12 cab be??

    1. TheGreek

      If I had more space...

  25. Cash Converters in Dartford with a ltd edition Skunkworks SVT! Never seen those sorts of things in my local crack converters!
