    There are no delays or reverbs for the BH series as of yet. I just use Spectracomp and tubedrive!

    [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1476826290' post='3157676'] I believe ive just seen a V7 on Jools Holland. It looked (to my old eyes) like the bass player with the Temptations was using one. Could be wrong through as i dont really know my basses and haven't seen mine for a good few months. [/quote] I thought it was too.

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1476801468' post='3157360'] Get proper ones. You cannot get new ears. I am talking from bitter experience. [/quote] I use the boots foam ones, they provide a 30db cut I believe. That's pretty good as I understand it? I could of course be horribly wrong!

    I'm not a fan whatsoever of nickels (although I did use them on my Modulus Flea). Even out of the packet, they just feel dead and lifeless. As Ghost Bass mentioned above, fresh, they sound like steels do when it's time to change them. I love the harmonic richness, punch and detail of steels although they can vary massively on feel. D'Addario Prosteels and Flexsteels feel relatively smooth to me, whereas Rotosounds are horrendously grabby (almost tacky) and harsh. IMO, YMMV and all that.

    I think that is a really cool looking bass! I think it'd look even better with more vibrant colours.

    I'll begrudgingly share my amp if I need to but my basses are totally off limits. As others have said, I'd never even ask someone myself if I could have a go, etc.

    [quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1475524505' post='3146689'] For a rock band it is hard to beat a Spector. Queensryche, Alice in chains, Skid Row, Cannibal Corpse, Judas Priest and a host of other well known and iconic rock bands' bassist all used and still use Spector basses. I'd say you go for a EURO 4. It has PJ pickups, active electronics, slim neck, contoured body. They'd fit into your budget even new, but used they go around 800-900 GBP (or less sometimes) It will give you different tone options compared to your P bass. [/quote] I second this. My Euro 4 was the best bass I've ever owned and I miss it dearly. Tone-wise IMO, they are utterly untouchable in a rock setting. Snarl, crispness, presence, bags of punch and a focused bottom end. Absolute bargain at the price they go for.

    John Entwhistle-lite.

    I use an NY122 in conjunction with a TC BH550. It's a superb cab that easily provides sufficient bottom end and power while staying clean at high volume. I've used it on some big outdoor stages to great effect. A real 'One cab solution'. For what it's worth, it's beautifully built too.

    So painfully generic. Doesn't float my boat at all.

    Warwick Streamer Stage 2. Played one years later and really didn't like it.

    Insane pricing.

    Bump.

    2009 model with the revised profile neck, So super slim (almost Ibanez SR like). In almost mint condition barring a couple of haze marks on the finish. Complete with soft case and Warwick user manual. AAA Flamed maple body with Ovangkol neck. Wenge fingerboard. Bell brass frets. JAN3. MEC pickups and 2-Band preamp. Very lightweight at around 8.5lbs An utterly phenomenal bass that I just don't use anymore due to the acqusition of a stonking Musicman SUB that suits my disco/funk covers that little bit more. No point in having this gorgeous instrument sat around doing nothing. Not interested in trades unless it's a mint and lightweight Fender Marcus Miller. Would MUCH rather collection or a halfway meet and would be happy to accept a little bit less to pay for your fuel. I am based in Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire which isn't far off the m40 so it isn't a tough trip by any means. Cheers for looking! Edit -No idea why the pictures have orientated the wrong way, will post up higher res shots as soon as poss.

    I bought a bh550 on Doods advice and couldn't be happier. Clean, clear and crisp tone almost to the point of being dry (but that's exactly what I want sound wise). Tonnes of headroom and power on tap with excellent build quality and finish. Useful little features like a mute switch and the toneprint system only sweeten the deal. Highly recommended.
  16. 40hz
    Argh! I'd love to buy this back. Let me see what I can do.
  17. 40hz
    You'd bloody hate D'Addario Flexsteels then!

    [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1463747036' post='3053792'] That particular SUB is possessed! There's something special going on with that bass........hope youre enjoying it :-) [/quote] Absolutely Jon! It's a ridiculously good bass that I bought from you with the idea of having it as a good quality backup to my Warwick Streamer LX. It's turned out to be easily the equal of it and in some ways I prefer the SUB. So much of that Stingray vibe but ballsier! Absolutely bloody steal at the prices they go for!

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1463692252' post='3053479'] Yeah, I wish they sounded that nice when I played them. [/quote] I had this problem for ages too, Lozz. I bought (funnily enough seeing as he started the thread) Mudpup's USA SUB. It's a 2 band and sounds quite different to my old 3 band. In conjunction with more subtle EQ'ing (as opposed to the common method of maxing everything) I'm now getting that sound myself!

    My Musicman SUB I recently acquired was doing this too, just restrung it with plenty of winds round the post and it's been fine since.

    Let's talk Behringer

    40hz replied to isteen's topic in Effects

    I have the bass overdrive pedal, it's more distortion than overdrive though. It's held up perfectly to 8 years of use and gigging and sounds great. No complaints here.

    Punchiest 2x12

    40hz replied to 40hz's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Thanks again guys, some really helpful stuff as always . I had a browse on the Schroeder website and really like the look of the 3x10 (don't see too many of them). Any experiences with this cab and comparisons to the 2x12?

    They're my favourite band ever, but, in light of the output 'By The Way' onwards, I wasn't expecting much (Detest Stadium Arcadium and I'm With You) but this actually pleasantly surprised me. I have high hopes for the new album now that Josh is established and out of his shell, he's a brilliant musician.
  25. 40hz
    I love the track (Burn the witch) and same as you really, a late bloomer when it comes to Radiohead. I'll be burned at stake for this (Pun intended) but I only like their output from ' Hail to the Thief ' onwards.
