  1. Having used one the other night I’d add in the Peavey MiniMax, has a very warm rounded sound in the mix.
  2. I’ve not had the II Pro version but the I Pro and the US Standards before them allow for a very good low action and the setup/hardware is exactly the same. As such I reckon the posts above about a lot of relief in the neck are spot on, chances are the owner doesn’t know how to set up the bass (I was just like that many moons ago with similar action) providing the truss rod works ok once the neck is adjusted I’d expect those saddles to be raised a bit, I’ve never had mine all the way down like that on numerous basses with the same setup/hardware.
  3. It depends, in my last band when I used to tour I’d take 2 US Precisions but for regular gigging it would be a US to gig and Mex as a backup. Now in my current band I’ll be taking 2 Squier Mustangs and gigging whichever is the same colour as the guitarist is using.
  4. I’m glad Last Christmas is No 1, I think it’s a great song. I don’t think it’s indicative of anything, I remember in 1986 the Xmas No 1 was Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson, originally released in 1958.
  5. The Japanese ones have J width necks. As do the Squier Classic Vibe 60s, which are very nice basses (I have a couple of these for gigging). Unless it’s gone our very own @FinnDave is selling one on here.
  6. Very near. As some on here may know I’m Precision mad, but had to make the change to short scale this year due to back issues and I’ve not been disappointed in any way with the sound of the Mustangs.
  7. Yup it’s funny but sometimes a certain brand or gauge of strings can really bring a bass to life.
  8. I wouldn’t have been that bothered about the fretboard scratch but the ding on the back of the neck, no, not on a brand new bass, that would go back.
  9. I had two V2 Tech21 Para Drivers, one I just preferred, it seemed to be more alive and have more sparkle to the sound than the other one so I used that one for live work and the other for home use. Similarly with my Ashdown ABM600s, had two, both great but the first one just seemed to have more about it but I couldn’t say exactly what it was.
  10. Congrats, I kept on looking at this one and wondered if it would end up owned by a Basschatter (other than myself, I showed amazing levels of restraint for once).
  11. Reviving an old thread, I’ve just got in from rehearsal where I used one of these and I really liked it, had a really nice solid sound to it that was great for the classic rock that we do.
  12. Yep, good call, Eden cabs are very nice.
  13. Adjustable tweeter screams bass cab to me
  14. Same here, in my youth I tried to make it, did a UK tour and swiftly realised it was my hobby and what I did for enjoyment, didn`t want to make it my day job so quit that band and took a few years off playing. No idea if I would have ever made it (tho given percentages probably not) but I`m convinced I made the right decision as music has similarly been my escape and since quitting the booze my main source of enjoyment.
  15. Same here, I use the RM500 and it’s a very good amp, the gruntiest Class D amp that I’ve used. I pair it with two of their PRO NEO ABM210s - or at least would but every gig since I’ve had them has had a provided backline.
  16. You can, just be mindful of the ohms thing. In all likelihood the amp will be 500 watts at 4ohms, and there`s a good chance that the cab will be 300 watts at 8ohms (but do check). If this is the case then the 500 watt amp would deliver approximately 250, maybe 300 watts to the 8ohm cab so this should be ok, but obviously keep your ears finely tuned to make sure you`re not overloading it. If the amp is 4ohms then you can connect two 8ohm cabs to it or one 4ohm cab (I know, whoever made this up did it on purpose to be confusing).
  17. Nice one Chris, I`ve got the same, primarily as a backup/fall-back option should the sound-person not want me to do the pre-amp/amp-less thing. I`ve only used it quietly at home through an Ashdown PRO-NEO ABM210 but I thought it sounded very nice.
