Unless I really really liked the material that would be my response too.
-
Fave cab I’ve ever had was my Marshall VBC412, though my Ashdown ABM410 EVO-IV wasn’t far behind.
-
I’m sooooo tempted by the Ashdown LB550.
-
Jon bought a bass from me, great comms throughout including letting me know of safe delivery & receipt. As a side note has a great avatar and taste in music!
-
Nice looking bass that
-
Some form of Spector with two soap-bar humbuckers or a dual humbucker Stingray would be a good place to start.
-
I’ve found that with the gear I’ve had that had presets they were just too full-on, and the levels of the preset effects needed reducing by at least half for my tastes.
-
I think you’re right Ted, I have lighter gauge strings on my Jazzes than on my Precisions and I enjoy playing those more as a result. I think after years of my style being hard hitting/hard fretting I’m going for the easy life from now on.
-
Protection Racket or Mono. Mono get sold on here a fair bit so can be picked up at fairly good prices and imo are the business.
-
Yep, I think Markbass cabs pair very well with passive Precisions but there’s no doubt that Barefaced are a step up.
-
That is a great looking Jazz, congrats

SOLD: Ashdown ABM600 evoiv as new and hotcovers padded cover
Lozz196 replied to la bam's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I had one of these, best amp I’ve ever had. If I were in a gigging band I’d never have sold it. Powerful, incredibly versatile, and light enough to carry about easily. -
Did your parents/family help with your musical life?
Lozz196 replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
When I saved up to buy my first bass, £45 which was a fair bit of dosh in 1980, my Mum & Grandparents bought new my first amp. Other than that nothing at all, but help at the start is worth much more imo. -
In my old covers band the guitarist had that very same rig, sounded great but what a ‘mare to move about. He ended up with two Marshall 1x12s and if I recall correctly an a Orange Terror amp and was just as loud as before, but sooo much more practical.
-
I reckon it would have in the hair-metal late eighties.
-
I used one years back, with the matching 4x12 and it was loud enough for indie/rock covers with guitar (Les Paul & Marshall half stack), drums & keys.

Interesting new project brewing, excitement builds
Lozz196 replied to uk_lefty's topic in General Discussion
Sounds good, and go for guitarist 2, it will be like looking at a photo negative when the band are on stage! -
A good bass into a good amp. Nothing else needed IMO!

You are Eric Cantona! -
As soon as I saw this thread my suggestion was going to be the Ashdown RM210T. I have a pair of them, they sound great.
-
J Bass pickups? Where to start! So much choice!
Lozz196 replied to barrycreed's topic in Bass Guitars
I’ve just ordered a set of Fender Vintage Noiseless for one of my Jazzes, so I’ll update on here once they’re in and been out to task. -
Well last night I used both the .73s and the .88s at rehearsal and in the mix not much difference, but the .73s were just much more enjoyable and easy to use so sticking with them.
-
At present it’s Fender Jazz bass into (studio owned) Ampeg amp/8x10, not even a tuner, aside from a clip-on. Should add, at present am doing classic rock in a band with guitar & keys, so leave any kind of effects to them, my job in this is to stick with the drums.
-
You’ll work up your biceps with that amp Tim, but it will be worth it, they sound awesome.
-
If I recall correctly Dave Swift does the opposite, flats E to G, roundwound B for greater clarity in the mix.
-
My steels are 50-105, whereas nickels are 45-100 so can’t say exactly re the feel due to higher tension, but sound wise yes it’s same as regular nickel/steel comparison, nickels warmer & steels edgier.
