TomWIC Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1363653560' post='2015467'] Is that an LTD B-15? If so, what's it like? Cheers Alex [/quote] It is indeed, it's great, always gelled with it really well as my first and only 5-string. I got it quite cheap as an ex-display model, and the pickups recently died on me so I've replaced them with Bill Lawrence P46s which gives it a better grind than the stock pickups, but I thoroughly recommend it!

TomWIC Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 [quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1363653849' post='2015469'] I've got a sneaking suspicion that it's not a real rig shot unless there's a cat present! Effin' awesome rig as well dude, I can only imagine how great that all sounds! That's the coolest looking Thunderbird I've ever seen too. [/quote] Cheers mate, I do love my Thunderbird. Hopefully I'll have a nice shiny white one with Gibson pickups soon too And for the first time, I've been completely happy with my rig, can get a huge range of sounds, from warm and clean to the most evil distortion you could imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] If you like that brand new stainless steel sound, try the new Elixir ones. I've had a set on for 4 months and they still sound proper clanky! They cost me £40, but to have sounded like that for 4 months I'd have had to buy at least 6 sets of D'Addarios! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob.mayzes Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just got this rig together not long ago! Markbass LMII special edition, 2x Genz Benz NEOX 112, MIJ Fender Jazz 75RI and various pedals.

Truckstop Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Here's my recently acquired MAJ/Koch rig. Scored it off ebay for £220 and a 20 minute drive. The ad only showed the 2x12 cab and the head, only mentioning a 1x15 in passing; turned out to be matching! Well chuffed with it. Cabs sound huge and the head has a lovely clean sound to it. Handles effects very well and comes flightcased too. Bonus!

Tweedledum Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1366999121' post='2060186'] Please, more pics of the basses. Nice rig, too. Care to tell us more? [/quote] Thanks! More about the rig? Alright, top to bottom: The BS40 by german manufacturer Klemt Echolette is basically a Fender Bassman clone (what else?), except it uses ECC808 tubes in the preamp and EL34 in the power stage. The amp was made in the mid to late 60s. Echolette amps and cabs were very popular in Germany back then. Klemt sold the company to Dynacord in the early 70s. Marc Sieben, owner and only employee of "[url=http://www.sad-audio.de/]Sieben Audio Design[/url]", uses Fostex drivers for his cabs and refuses to use Neodymium equipped speakers, because he says he just couldn't find one that sounds the way he wants his bass cabs to sound. The biggest strength of his cab designs is the extremely high efficiency. In fact, the 40 Watt Echolette amp is more than sufficient to drive the two 1x12" cabs in virtually every situation, except maybe a large stadium gig without P.A. support.... Plus, Marc's factory is located just around the corner from where I live (10 minutes by car), and his customer support is excellent. The Jazz Bass is a 1974/75 model, 4-bolt, 70s pickup spacing. You can tell by the scars that it has been rocked quite a lot, but not by me . I'm not the original owner. The Tele is re-finished. The gold hardware is original. It sound fantastic: punchy, vivid, very even throughout the whole fingerboard. It's a littel heavy, though, but not too bad. The tone more than compensates for the weight. More pictures of the basses can be found on my flickr page: Tele: http://www.flickr.com/photos/74904201@N05/sets/72157632816558215/show/ Jazz: http://www.flickr.com/photos/74904201@N05/sets/72157630982298768/show/ This weekend, I got me a matching cab for my Echolette BS40. It's a Echolette ET5, housing a 18" Goodmans speaker. The ET5 cab was designed especially for the BS40 and I must say this stack sounds really nice! Up to a certain volume, of course... Beyond that, I cannot distinguish the rattle of the cab from the rattle of the windows in my house....
