Bassman Sam

R.I.P. BB King and thanks for the music.

Not wanting to p*ss on the bonfire but wouldn't the different pickups and preamps on each bass make more of a difference? The basses would all need to be the same model with the same pickups but with rosewood or maple necks to be an accurate test.

True Lozz but I'm going to have to try every combination. I think my head will explode.

I'm now the proud owner of a Line 6 LB400 bought today off the forum. I'm not going to be able to fire it up in anger until Tuesday. I've downloaded the manual and I'm looking forward to getting to know it. I also have a Zoom B3 and now I'm wondering if I'm going to be in tech heaven or hell. I've always been a plug in and play guy so I'm now getting a bit worried I'm going to get totally overloaded by the tones I can create Any thoughts?

Just bought Shaun's Line 6 LB400. Great condition, like new. Easy transaction and a nice guy. Highly recommend him.

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1430517259' post='2762334'] certainly was Scooby [/quote] I've seen you live as well in the late '90's somewhere in West London. Great gig and cracking band as I remember.

I've been in two. First one was Wishbone Ash tribute in the mid '70's before it become really popular to be a tribute band. The second in the '90's was a Quo tribute, Piledriver, later change to Counterfeit Quo. They are still going and getting some huge gigs. We played with John Coghlan as Coghlan's Quo a number of times doing theater gigs.

I had a really bad cold at a gig and noticed a large line of snot connecting my nose to the mike during the second number. I was spared any bad comments due to our drummer having a epileptic fit during the next song and falling backwards off the stage. The audience thought it was part of the show.

Good luck, break a leg, not a string etc. Looks like a great set list and I played The Ship many moons ago, good gig. Oh, and enjoy yourself.

Great story. Now don'the sell it again.

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1429832709' post='2755495'] Thanks for posting this, I've seen many of Scott's video lessons but not this one. Very helpful. Scott Devine is a beacon of the bass conmunity, he truly is making bassists better. [/quote] +1. I use his free Tube videos and they help a lot, thinking of subscribing to he paid for lessons. I'm 60 but it's never too late to learn and the old dogs, new tricks is bollocks. I'm learning to speak Thai at the moment.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1428174979' post='2738877'] As an ex - Ricky addict, with a long list to my name, you have to please provide a sound a sample of your 4003 through the Rumble. GAS officially re-ignited..... [/quote] +1. Thunderbird sample too please. Bloody GAS.

Lovely.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1428011049' post='2737139'] They need to be stacked in the right order! [/quote] Which order produces the brown note best? My public liability insurance excess may be affected.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1427991799' post='2736826'] I can chip in here as well. I bought one back in February - read some good comments both on here and Talkbass (I'm now in the Rumble Club there! ).Actually, it's also well worth a read, as there's hundreds of posts and good info. It sounds glorious on it's own, and I have gigged it that way. I also bought a Rumble 115 (15" cab) a bit later to add more umph....not so much volume, but sonic depth. TBH, you can easily get away with the cab as is. Stick the 15 under it, and you have instantly more of the same in abundance. Tone heaven! I changed over from Markbass to these, and I for one far prefer them. They just sound so much more, well, bassy. I use the vintage setting all the time, it gives you a lovely valve-y growl, real old-skool. Just to help - here's a photo of mine I took with my USA P Bass - [attachment=188174:20150306_201428.jpg] ...and here's a sound-sample, recorded a few weeks ago in the studio with same P-bass, and Rumble amp and cab mic'd up - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA-xHT-cUC4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=mA-xHT-cUC4[/url] Let us know what you decide! [/quote] SB, you're not helping me GAS for a Rumble. I'll looking at the 200 watt version as I only jam now and then. Do you know if there any difference apart from the number of watts? Nice playing and I love the track BTW, what strings are you using. Love that tone.

The black one on the bottom doesn't match. I'll gladly take it off your hands.

My MIM Standard P-Bass tuners do their job as required, I must have got a good one. I want to change the bridge to a Goto 201 though. I just like the look of them.

I have a MIM Fender Precision with Seymour Duncan SP1 pick up upgrades. Fabulous bass and as good as my last USA P Bass. I can't fault it.

I was roped into this thread but you're all poles apart. Edit before the grammar police attack.

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1425674889' post='2709726'] Can you give me a lift , Ive only got a small rig, honest [/quote] I know, we've met.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to give one of these a go on my p bass.
