Had Aguilar in the past and liked it. Was in my list of possible replacements

Interesting the low mid does work fine on my, could be batch specific. To be honest the tone of these amps alone wasn't to my taste either but used a sansamp in front of it which worked well

Agreed, tube tone sounded awful too, more fizzy like a cheap OD pedal

Bought a brand new RH750 about 5 years ago after seeing good reviews and being very pleased with my Classic 450. After two gigs the knobs fell off (known issue) and now after only a handful of gigs ( use iem and no amp 95 percent of time) it lost power and sounds like 30w if that. Yes it had been cared for and carried on a padded case etc etc. Looking at comments now suggest it was never 750w anyway and many reports of unreliability. TC have now discontinued the range and probably with good reason, ruined their reputation to me, would avoid TC products, shame as they used to be world beaters. Terrible customer service, well zero as they never respond 😂.

Have to agree with sammybee re the equipment choices. The SM57 is the most used mic in the world of recording and for good reason. Only thing I'd say is that it won't record the low end of the bass well, that said if you combine a 57 on the cab with a DI signal you can get great results. A mixing tip is to use the low from the DI (everything below 200hz) and the high from the mic (everything above 200hz) especially for a distorted sound. Another tip would be to record the DI signal clean as you might find it doesn't benefit from too much distortion, you can always add in the software later to taste. As for the software, if you're on a Mac then Garageband is a great starter software, very intuitive, if you're on PC then think FL studio is free, or cheap.

Saw this on Gumtree, 96 USA Jazz for £350. I immediately responded saying it was far too cheap and would happily pay more, alas someone got in first and bartered him down to £250 as it had crackly pots FFS 😂 Probably took the shirt of his back too...

Well after a quick look on the sellers FB page I see a pic of him playing the same bass with a different neck on it. I say "same bass" unless he had another with exactly the same ash wood grain. Think if you're going to lie about what you're selling try at least to make the thing look authentic ffs 🤣

Yes never seen an all original standard USA like before either. The seller was going to send me the serial number so I could try and check it out but, but hasn't bothered so maybe that answers the question

Hi Basschatters. I am looking at a 2000 Fender Jazz standard bass that unusually has blocks and binding. The bass has the silver logo rather than the black usually found on 70 reissue models. Not got the serial number yet to run it through the database. Has anyone come across this before on a USA standard model? Cheers
