40hz

Played through one of these the other night and wasnt expecting much. All I can say is WOW. Never heard a tweeterless 15" with so much natural snap and top end. Seriously impressive from a Marshall of all things. However it clearly weighed as much as a small planet, so sod that

My first and only was a 1984 Squier Japanese P. Arctic white with white scratch plate, rosewood neck and the mostly gloriously aged orange neck. Thick, chunky punchy tone and weighed the square root of bugger all! Loved it and miss it dearly.

Lotta love for Stingrays here, however if I ever bought another it would have to be a satin or gloss finished SLO neck. Not a fan of the standard unfinished neck profile.

Yeah I managed to sort it out and get it low and buzz-less. I might very well try your suggestion Chiliwailer, always good to get some tips from other Flea owners as I still feel i'm figuring it out 5 months on. But also to be fair, I didn't mean the Modulus specifically, just active basses in general (my Ray34 and Marcus Miller were the same in this respect).

Absolutely, don't get me wrong, the Flea is a tone monster and the best sounding bass I've ever heard. It's just more 'imposing' than my Fender, but then it would be! . I also thought about cutting a lot on the Aggie pre-amp and try eq'ing from the head, so going to give that a blast next week. Edit - when my new strings turn up!

Cut a long story short, I broke a string at practice last night and stupidly wasn't carrying any spares so I used the practice rooms Yamaha RBX (tidy little bass). I was really struck by how clear it sounded in the mix, almost like the bass seemed to 'breathe' and 'speak' clearer than my active Modulus. I've also noticed this previously with my Fender and various other passive instruments versus the active ones I've owned. Actives seem to almost be less subtle. Anyone else experienced the same thing?

I remember this guy from before, I think it must of been from when he offered you trades Karlfer. As nice as the actual bass is (love the facings) It's not a Musicman and this guy makes no effort to point this out. And yeah, his valuation is somewhat optimistic. I would of said £400-£500 for it.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1428496641' post='2741790'] I think if I was playing a 12-string fretless, I'd need to look for divine inspiration to work out where to put my fingers too. [/quote]

I believe they were suggested to be paired up with the MBE series cabs, of which I have the MBE-II 4x10 version. Neo speakers, 800watt power handling, super light and compact dimensions with more punch than any cab I've experienced to date. Really hits like a hammer. The cab definitely has that signature aggressive presence that GK are famed for.

An older Fender rumble combo. The one with the red LED's. 100w through a 15. Truely awful!

12 years and nowhere neaaarr as good as I should be. Don't worry!

They always were the Sterling by Musicman range. Ray 34's and Ray 35's. Great basses.

Youtube bass demos. Very rare do you find a useful one, the rest of the time it's just self indulgent, smug, samey sounding slappery. Instant switch off. That said the best of a bad bunch are probably the session music ones (even though there's still too much slap and it's all in German xD)

Sorry to hear this chap. I do despair at the human race at times, what an absolute scumbag. I just don't understand how it's possible in life to be such an arse to another human being. Definitely still call the police, might be able to help it not happen in the future.

I don't believe in bad or good technique. Everyone has a different approach and whatever works, works. All that really matters is if you sound great and are comfortable IMO.

I'll take two WAL's for that amount instead ta!

My answer in these threads has always been and always will be Mike Mills of R.E.M and Bruce Foxton of The Jam.

I don't like 5'ers. I have one that is very comfy to play, it's just the actual tonality of those low notes and how they physically sound (brand being irrelevant). I really dislike it and have never gelled with it.

Ambient liquid drum and bass. Chilllllllllled!

I had a mij Geddy Lee that weighed a fraction under 11lbs, truely torturous to play longer than 30mins. It had to go. My mim jazz I now have is a straight 8lb'er. Much nicer!

I had the exact same problem with my 15-180. It's very common and is almost always a knackered transformer. Not an expensive fix and Ashdown are superb to deal with.
