  1. My role in my 3 piece band is based all around punch and poking through the mix but at the moment I feel my sound is lacking in that department. My Markbass is a great cab and does have some thump but not quite the extremes I'm chasing. I'm interested in peoples experience with cabs that have a strong 'Pop'. Other aspects of tone are not so important and I really want to stay in 2x12 territory for weight and portability reasons. Cheers in advance
  2. I'm a big Musicman fan but, to me, these are painfully dull. Imo etc etc.
  3. [quote name='StuartCrawl' timestamp='1461524733' post='3035439'] Great. Panic over. I assume you don't get the same sort of noise through your cab when plugged into it? Thanks ☺ [/quote] I can't recall having noticed it through my cab, only the headphone socket. Enjoy, it's a brilliant little amp!
  4. Yep, mine has done this from new. You can hear something physically click inside too. Just the digital power module switching on I think? I could of course be hideously wrong
  5. I tried a set once on my old Yamaha TRB4. I was distinctly underwhelmed! Died fast too. :\
  6. I personally couldn't care less if it has a signature on the headstock, being a signature model wouldn't put me off buying a bass. A good bass is a good bass and 99% of the audience wouldn't have a clue anyway!
  7. I used to own a Carlsbro B150 4x10 combo, it was my first 'proper' amp. It really wasn't that bad! Celestions, compressor and a graphic eq! It was bloody huge though and I remember having to clear out dozens and dozens of dead moths that had made their way in the port. A punchy amp, Certainly better than the 50w Torque combo i used at school!
  8. I absolutely love Flea but that is just AWFUL.
  9. Dave just bought my TC mini Flashback, a thoroughly pleasant and straightforward bloke, quick payment and no nonsense. I'd definitely do business again. Enjoy it Dave!
  10. I don't like anything that looks remotely vintage and behave like a moth to anything that has twinkly lights or is lit up like a Christmas tree. I love loud colour schemes like Markbass or the Alu Hartke cabs, that new Peavey MiniMega head too #GAS.
  11. Keep the head, flog the cabs and buy a strong, lightweight 4x10 with big power handling! I had a GK neo which was a one hand carry (just about). Also as Lozz says, I doubt those mismatched cones are helping matters much.
  12. Just sold my beloved Jazz to Andy, a very friendly and polite guy, easy going and fuss free. Prompt sale and payment with no messing about. Deal with total confidence!
  13. I use a TC BH550 with a Markbass NY122. I wouldn't worry about anything volume wise. I thought the new BH series were supposed to be genuine wattage anyway? It certainly sounds like a 550watt amp, if not more! It easily crushes the old LittleMark 250 I had. On that note, it's a much clearer and more hi-fi head than the Markbass, which was very refined and warm sounding to my ears. Neither tonally better or worse, I personally just prefer the clarity of the TC.
  14. Enjoy! She's a good'un!
  15. [quote name='Lw.' timestamp='1460370929' post='3024983'] If any Warwicks ever become collectable it'll be the pre-89 ones but I wouldn't be spending loads on them at the moment - there are substantially better ROI's out there. What you do get is a really high quality, nice sounding bass for not a lot of money. Assuming that's the sound you like. If I were getting a YOB bass it'd probably be an early streamer. [/quote] Snap. My plan for a YOB bass is an 86 Streamer!
  16. Owned from new. Unboxed. In very good condition and barely used. Would make a great first envelope filter, it has a disgustingly funky tone! Would recommend using PSU with it as it eats batteries like Pacman in a pill factory.
  17. In as new condition, used 3-4 times since I bought it. Unmarked with original box stickers etc. Beautiful sound, selling due to having a TC BH550 with toneprint, which covers my delay needs! Cheers
  18. I'm now using 35-95 gauge Elites after years of 45-105 and I wish I'd made the switch sooner. I find the lower tension much more comfortable and more responsive to playing dynamics. I have to say, i haven't noticed the sound being any thinner either.
  19. [quote name='Bass Fumbler' timestamp='1460135248' post='3023011'] Would you consider posting & if so how much to post to Harrogate? [/quote] Yeah, I'd be happy to post, I should of said in the ad, need to find a suitable box though, think I've actually still got the original fender one in the attic! I'd cover the postage, so no worries there.
  20. Welcome! I'm up in sunny Chipping Norton!
  21. Owned from new and as standard. Complete with soft case and all original case candy and bumf (even my original receipt) lightweight at around 8.8lbs. In very good condition with a few minor dings, the worst of which is on the underside of the bass (as seen in photobucket pics). Really resonant and growly tone. Set up with a low buzz free action although it could do with new strings (though I'm sure any potential owner would do that anyway). Sad to see it go but I just don't use it since I bought the Warwick. Bass is located in Chipping Norton, happy to meet somewhere or will deliver within a fairly large radius for small petrol contributions. Needs to be gone within 10 days or will withdraw from sale. Bills to be paid! Cheers! [url="http://s1194.photobucket.com/user/flea100/library/Mobile%20Uploads"]http://s1194.photobu...obile%20Uploads[/url]
  22. There are a lot of people asking way, way over the odds for non-original vintage Fenders. You see a lot of those taking an age to sell, if at all. The totally original stuff has now hit such a value, it's not being sold to bass players per se but more as investment pieces. Imo,ymmv and all that.
  23. Just bought Jon's Musicman USA SUB. Couldn't be happier with the transaction. Prompt comms, friendly and a pleasure to deal with, a true gent! Deal with total confidence. Cheers Jon!
  24. I dug into this ages ago and it turns out it was some little known, London based producer that played on the album version of Space Cowboy. I'll see if I can find the relevant link again!
