Hearing Metal box for the first time, those deep dark rumblings started me off. [attachment=184198:286826_10150270852836016_1500921_o.jpg] and at the grand old age of 51, still trying.

All credit to TC, I posted about the combo's arriving busted (bought it originally from Thomann) and TC arrange collection and delivery of a working model. Those were when the BG500 just came out.

That sucks. I'd also guess they sent you out a return or it was badly handled during transportation. I feel somewhat guilty for pushing them so much. I had kind of the same thing with a TC combo I bought, I had to send 2 back before I got a keeper and still have it, been fine for around 5 years now.

Sorry to hear that, very disappointing. No buzz's or rattles on mine.

Love it Del ! Here's how I have mine stacked for the bigger gigs, (gramma pad under it)

Look forward to your review. I just have my set flat most of the time, so it's an easy starting point.

I think and I could be wrong! But from what I have read the Fender v3 500w 210 combo runs at 8 ohms (around 320 watts without an extension) and spreads the load to 4 ohms and the full 500 watts when an extension cab is used. Not sure about the MB stuff.

The go loud and keep the punch as well. I have used the combo alone for a lot of pub gigs and never found it wanting.. I just like it more with a 12 under.

Not sure this is any help but, I have a few mini stacks, a GB shuttle 6, tone Hammer 500, a few cabs GB Neo 212 and 2 Aguilar Gs 112's. I like to swap and change a bit... But for the last 6 months I have been using the rumble 500 combo and love it, at larger gigs and rehearsal I stick the Aggie 112 under it and it gives me just the tone I like. I'd suggest if you possibly can try one out first before you move any of your gear on. MB gear is used a liked by a lot of people.

NP Lozz, glad someone else enjoyed it as I did

Anybody rate this bass wise? I know I'm behind the times but hadn't heard these versions. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--3IOWYwc7g"]https://www.youtube....h?v=--3IOWYwc7g[/url]

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1423855171' post='2689838'] Squier is the new Fender... [/quote] Think that already happened in the 80's. I love my Fenders (there I said it)

Congrats and well done. I'm the opposite unless I'm digging in I don't feel the force. I do use some palm muting and soft thumb on a few numbers tho.

Lots of great Albums on here so far and a few I will have to check out. For me it would have to be London calling. Never got tired of listening to it since the day I picked it up in 1980. Edit, funny I did wan to mention Exodus and Grin and bear it as well.

For the Kids and Groovers, eveyone needs it! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDwtQ75YUkE&feature=youtu.be"]https://www.youtube....eature=youtu.be[/url] Digging out my old 45's.

In my opinion you can't go wrong with a Jazz in the arsenal.

That's what I have been using a clamp.. not GoPro but a knock-off brand. Nice vid and.. good idea Urbanx sticking ti down that end of the guitar

I have only played a few covers live and always try to put my own twist on them and never anything too demanding. For some reason I seem to struggle more with slow tempo ballad type songs .. even our own. Trying to be tasteful on what and what not to play, as well as dropping in and out, the amount of space you have to experiment with and how bad you can sound getting it wrong lol.

I like that.

I guess it depends what P bass-pickup combo you have. I have a 51 RI Precision that I put a Lindy Fralin pickup in and the sound really changes a lot when you play with the volume pot. I guess it's a very hot pick-up, it's almost like a pre-amp or overdrive knob! My other P-basses are always on full or then off when on standby.

[quote name='sammybee' timestamp='1422569343' post='2674289'] Well after a couple of weeks wearing flats, quickly came to the conclusion that the 'Ray is better with rounds. Anybody fancy a set of EB flats cut to fit a 'Ray? going v cheap.. [/quote] Told you so But never say never.

[quote name='tinyd' timestamp='1422466609' post='2673086'] I'm pretty sure that this Kay was like mine:- [/quote] That was my first one as well, got it S/H for 5 quid. I'm sure I was ripped off : Edit I found a picture of me playing it. .[attachment=182331:286826_10150270852836016_1500921_o.jpg]

My advice, don't take lsd before the audition.. I was stupid enough to do that once .

I had one of the MiK's, well made, nice sound and a joy to play. (whilst seated for me) I just couldn't get on with the strap pin positions and where that put the neck when I was in the standing position. Was sad to see it go but as I didn't want to use it live it had to go. Might be a good idea to make sure your comfortable with that.. It was one thing I had never even thought about. edit smelling
