I had the squire and i gota say it was one of my fav basses allways played and sounded great. only thing i didnt like was the cheap pickguard.

Nice job, i just got an Epi EB-3 short scale in arctic white. Started on the mods. Converted to string through. Turned the bridge pickup round to move the poles up from the bridge and fitted Picato Flat tape wounds (can use standard scale thanks to the string through mod) Might convert to a tune o matic bridge. when i saw the bass i thought i would swap out the pickups too but to be honest it sounds great (I have changed the pots n caps too). very happy with this bass. will post some pics soon

[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1351673196' post='1853907'] Thanks for the reply, I am running it through an Ashdown LB212, which sounds great, but I currently have that up for sale (feeler) with the Little Bastard head. If they go I will need to replace the cab. In terms of requirements, I would currently be using it for home and bad practice, however I am slowly progressing toward gigging,first live dates should be happening next year. Would appear that it might be a good idea to try the RS112 now and then add another at a later time as you are looking to do. Cheers [/quote] I have read that the RS112 + RS210 make a good pairing too so I mite try this befor I settle on another RS112. I have also read that it is better to stay with drivers of the same size (whitch to me makes a lot of sence) and that a pair of 12s will give more output than a 4x10. I did concider the BC cabs too but as my main aim was small form factor and just one cab i decided to go for the best i could afford and what i think is still the smallest form factor 1x12 cab.

[quote name='basskit_case' timestamp='1351238266' post='1848973'] Any thoughts on a suitable cab, cabs for this head? Currently using it with the Ashdown LB212, but considering selling that with the Little Bastard head, so would need a new cab. [/quote] I have the RS112, very lite, small footprint, nice tone (IMO) but not cheap! I am going to get another soon as funds are available. Best thing to do is take your head and your bass and go and try a few different cabs. Just remember to keep sight of what the cab is to be used for. IE home practice and jaming with friends (thats what i use mine for) Band practice and gigs will need a bit more cone area. Hence my plan to get the second cab. If your only going to have one cab concider a 4 ohm cab.

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1351201252' post='1848754'] Just into a single 1x12 8 ohm cab so I accept that it s not running at maximum power output but then again neither is the Mark Bass when I use that! Playing funk/soul stuff. Interesting that it sounds good with guitar! [/quote] The MarkBass little Mark III dose have twice the power output as the BH250 though lol, bearing that in mind i would say that was a good resault !! I would like to know how much louder it is with 2 1x12 cabs (im thinking of getting another RS112) Have you tryed ith through 2 yet ? Did you get a foot switch to go with your BH250 ?

[quote name='Gunsfreddy2003' timestamp='1351167194' post='1848131'] Got mine last week and used it on Tuesday - great sounds, great build and the Tone Print function is awesome. I had to have the volume at just past 3'o'clock to cover our drummer so not sure that it would be up to the job of replacing my Mark Bass LMIII but then that is not really why I bought it! Will be good as an aid to rehearsing at home though with the aux in and headphones out sockets. [/quote] What speakers did you hook up to and what was the total load (IE 1x12 8ohm) ? What kind of music? I had a bit of a jam round at a m8s on sat night with mine. We tryed my friends Strat through the BH250 n RS112, boy dose this ever make a good sounding guitar rig. Tone prints and outboards worked realy well (Vibrato works very well with guitar). We were mainly playing Niervana covers.

[quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1349769679' post='1830148'] I'm seriously choking on one of these - first I thought/ black/white then the white/black special version and now I'm thinking the single pick-up- God I annoy myself!! Good to hear about it - what about the scale - does it feel small? [/quote] Im a big big fan of short scale basses, so to me it feels fine. moved to short scales to help combat a neck problem i have. couldnt belive how much i like the feel, ballence and sound. Most of the things you will read about shorts are bull. there just as deep, the strings are not floppy and you can drop tune. I have three now, a mustang (with tape wound strings) Landing L2 (was on flats but just put tapes on coz i liked um so much on the mustang) and the tele (swaped the strings on this the day i bought it for Fender 5250ml) I think it will be getting tapes too !!!

I would say its kinda old school sounding, but then im playing finger n pick onto tapewound strings so it aint guna sound hifi lol. the RS112 is a bit boomy in my living room so got it set slight cut on the bass slight boost to the mids and treble kinda 10 oclock 2 oclock 1 oclock sounds realy good up to about 10 oclock on the volume, then the light fitting starts to rattle n things fall off the wall !!!!!

the bh250 heads are pre loaded with the updated firmwear, its only the bg250 that needs the update. there are updates for both the droid and iphone app so check your app has the update, Basskit had the same prob with the iphone app

if you get one then the foot pedal is well worth the money too.

Nice, very nice

Got me a black one of these from Absolute music last week. gota say its a very nicely made bass, didnt have to tweak anything at all and i mean anything!! All screws done up tight (unlike my mustang which came with a buz n a lose neck) No buzzing from the frets or electrical hum. Paint work as good as gold and the finish on the neck is superbe. Only down side, its a bit heavy. Tone wise, I realy like it. The humbucker at the neck is fat and just a bit muddy in a nice way. the jaz at the bridge is bright, but the output is quite noticably les than the neck pickup. together the sound is very nice. Im thinking im guna have to get the single pickup version in blond too. Still got the roundwounds on her at the mo but im thinking tape wounds might be the way to go PS Dose Iron man very well on the mudbucker

Try a Fender Bronco, fantastic little combo, think you will find one in amps n cabs for sale

Had mine for a couple of weeks now. Love the sound. Love tone prints. Build seems very solid, no funny noises from mine. I havent tryed it through anything bigger than my RS112 8ohm cab, but at home that is loud at just 1 quater volume. Had an ampeg pf350 befor and that was def not as loud into the same cab. Into a pair of 12s or a 4x10 at 4ohms I think this would be more than enuf loud for most things and if you need more theres a Di on the back [attachment=120451:P9180017.JPG]

I got one kicking about to take to m8s houses, light yes, loud not realy but its only 10w into 2 five inch speakers, tone well i think it sounds quite nice in a crunchy sort of way. Made we think about looking for a vox amp, a full size one that is !!!!

[font=times new roman,times,serif][size=5]Hi all[/size][/font] [font=times new roman,times,serif][size=5]Just tried my first set of tape wounds, was curious to see how they would sound and feel. OMG why had no one told me about these. I put them on my mustang. Love the way they feel and sound. I have the Picato custom bass 50-105s a slightly heavier gauge than i have used before, also they are standard scale strings so i did have to cut them down a bit, mustang strings are a pain for scale length with most short scale strings being to short thanks to the strung through the body designee. The sound is far more natural and less metallic than the rounds with slightly less output and more thump making the sound more percussive. I think its the feel of the string that impresses me most, no finger noise at all so slides sound fantastic.[/size][/font] [font=times new roman,times,serif][size=5]Think im guna have to go n get another set to try on my Landing L2, another short scale[/size][/font]

Got mine just for home, but i gota say its much louder than the Ampeg PF350 that i had befor through my RS112. I would say it realy depends what you hook it up through. IE with a single 12 its not guna cut past a loud drummer, into a pair of 4x10s your guna be drowning out the rest of the band. If you can, go n try one.

yea thats the one, they are about 39 quid. got mine from Absolute music in Poole.

I would say its well worth getting the foot switch, it makes the tone prints far more accssable and gives you the extra tone print. I have been using the drive and the chorus lots, I like the octaver too. Just a shame theres no reverb. All my basses sound sweet through this amp (mainly grunge, punk, metal. Finger n pick. I dont slap) my one criticism is that you do get a noticable drop in volume when you engage a toneprint I had the Bronco amp too, loved it but couldnt keep up when mates came round to jam.
