Bump

Greetings from sunny gravesend!

I've had a few conversations via messenger with the guys from whitesnake uk. Very helpful and approachable chaps.
Perhaps make contact with them and ask if they've played it before etc....?

I have a Marshall vibratrem which I was given a good while ago.
They are surprisingly easy to find at a good price- only around £40 new

The best simple headphone amp I've used is the ehx one. Cheap, sounds reasonable and incredibly portable.
Since the op didn't specify anything further than simple headphone amp, the ehx fits the bill admirably.

Run run Rudolph - particularly the lemmy version
There are a couple of hard rock/ metal versions of songs out there.
We wish you a metal Christmas albums seem to be the best 😉
Certainly more fun 😉

3 five strings
1 fretless
1 acoustic
1 eub (ish- dean pace)
17 ish four strings iirc
Mainly p type, different tunings, purposes/ tones

Tim smith.

I am using an older x2 rack mounted system, with the receiver on my amp.
I run a 20 ft cable from the receiver to my board and 20ft back to the amp. And I run the cable around the edge of the stage, so I can keep a clean, clutter free performance space.
There is no significant loss of high end ( I am very fussy about my top end) or latency.

James Hetfield gets loads of props as a rhythm player, but he is a great lead player as well.
The first solo in nothing else matters is him, and there is a fair bit of footage around showing him play lead.

If you believe it to be a beginners instrument, it would be worth trying to find out what the retail price is currently.
As a general rule of thumb, secondhand value should be reckoned around two thirds of the original price.

The mxr micro amp is a clean boost. Works well with bass
Another option is the ehx lpb1- but this can add extra gain, and will colour your tone ( but not necessarily in a bad way😉)

I had the same trouble with my ironbird.
In the end I found and old grab stand which closes around the body of the bass.
For cases - dean produce a large bass gig bag which is large enough to fit my razorback and ml basses comfortably

So. I tried it at a show with my Ozzy tribute.
I was switching between my bfd, muff, and orange juice for the sabbath stuff.
There was no issue whatsoever with either low end loss, or disappearing in the mix.
To use a bc buzzword- this muff has heft!
previously, I had not been a big big muff fan ( having tried most sub species), but this pedal changes that for me.
A huge win at £75 ish

I've had one for close to 20 years.
It's been heavily used carrying weighty instruments. Sure it's a little threadbare, but I still trust it with my gear.

So if fired it up yesterday with my smaller pub rig.
Sounds lovely, and totally holds the low end ( as many have already noted)
As an occasional fuzz user ( I much prefer overdrive on a bass) I found a nice useable sound very quickly, and will probably get some use in my bands to really cement the sound.
More updates as time progresses🤘🤘

I have acquired one, and all being well should be able to fire it up today.
Looking forward to it!! 😄😄😄😄😄🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍

One heading my way.
Thanks for the heads up!

I'm totally with you on the who thing. A few great songs, and four awesome soloists.
It works, but I just don't get all the hype tbh

Florence and the machine- awesome musicians that work really well together, but what a terrible shrieker.

I'm kind of torn with the rush question though- love geddys playing, and I believe it carries the band in many ways, but I just can't get past his early vocal style. The only album I actually can listen to relatively often is snakes and ladders. He actually doesn't sound like a nasal mess to me.

.

If there are, they will not be mine 😉
Mine seem to to reside in my wife's handbag 😳

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but the bc rich testicle rest headstock is the ultimate candidate for me

Lol

That is a thing of beauty.
I'm sure it'll sound as good as it looks.

The head is a 200w not 100 as mentioned.
Still a bloody good rig for the money!!
