Pow_22

Must admit im in the ''not for me'' group. They try to hard to sound like Valve amps to the point it sounds like some has jabbed a screwdriver thru your speakers. Its not valve 'break-up' just a cheap sounding distortion. Ill stick to my valve amp

Recently had the volume and tone pots changed in my bison. Things have been fine since then but last night i plugged in and all i got was crackling, this was before i even touched a string or owt! It calmed down a bit but then kicked back in. Ive tried my other bass through the same lead/set-up and there are no issues so definitely seems to be the bison. Moneys tight at the mo so wondering if anyone can suggest possible diagnosis before i send it back off to my guitar techs.

ive got the fireglo one. Amazing deep and fat tone. Needs a good set-up once you get it but after that its a VERY sweet bass

you mention you found Hartke's good? Have you tried the HA5500? I had one recently and loved it, only moved it on as i wanted an all valve effort

off on a completely different slant here but Retrovibe RV4? Very comfy body, lightweight and very thin, precision feel neck with two bloody whackin MM style humbuckers in it?

isnt the Little Bastard an ALL valve unlike the orange?

running my thru an old Fender Bassman 2x15, sounds the muts nuts

4005 - my dream bass. Please make me one too

ive got a B120 Mk4 and love it, run it thru a Bassman 2x15 and it sounds immence, mines loaded with 6 x Mullard EL34's, not sure what pre-amp valves are in it tho, never looked

Rickenbacker 4005. My dream bass. One day Pow, One day [quote name='Ovo' post='1234271' date='May 17 2011, 01:39 PM']OMG, this one is SOOOOOoooooo COOOOOooooooooooooool...... [/quote]

Just had a look at the Tradetang website. I know they are fakes but i cant help but love that hollow body EB2 style bass.

Tom bought a slightly used set of DR Fatbeams off me recently. Very smooth transaction and absolutely no issues. Pleasure to deal with

Took me a while and a set of Thomastik Flats on my Retrovibe to convert but now everything ive got is flat loaded and i was the staunchest user of DR Fatbeams going!

i had its big brother (HA5500) and ran it thru an Ashdown MAG 410 and MAG 115, amazing sound. I played at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester and every one of our support bands had brought their own amps but ended up using my rig due to its sound. Only reason i reluctently disbanded that rig was major valve GAS

ive recently been converted to flats and restrung my bison with Roto flats from my old faves DR Fatbeams. Both are the same guage but now the action at the body end of the neck appears quite high. The truss rod on a bison is a bit strange in that i have to remove the neck to do it. Meaning that technically i would have to adjust, then re-fit the neck just to see if ive done what i wanted. Now im pretty tempted to just take it to tech but after 20 years of bass playin i thought its time i got over my truss rod fear. As the action has gone high at the neck end im assuming i need to TIGHTEN the rod as opposed to LOSSENING? If so im just going to take the neck off and give it a tiny turn and then re-fit it. It played superbly before my string change so im assuming its just a mini adjustment and not a full set-up issue?
