Kev

ye id like to give JJs a go, as well as a cheap sovtek valve 12ax7wb, they both interest me, tis indeed fun!

well, Mullard tube came today, safe to say i wont be using the EH again. As soon as a i put it in and switched it on, the difference was massive, the eh just sound brittle next to it. The mullard wasnt nos, but from the looks/sound of it it hasnt been used much. its the one with the shield logo with british made printed on it, bit worn off by can make it out. My particular valve is lower gain than the eh, which benefits me if anything, sounds fantastic, so much more character than the eh, more transparent and warmer (better bottom end and less highs) . id still like to experiment with more valves, but i cant see anything beatin the mullard.

pm'd

ouch lol got the valve through the post this morning btw, in the proces of putting it through its paces now, sounds dynamite, doesnt look that used, and sounds immense, il never be using the eh valve again

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='226769' date='Jun 25 2008, 03:54 PM']What bass is that? the hardware looks like a Ovation Magnum, but the body's different...[/quote] looks like an sg that been on the atkins diet!

has anyone had that trace head yet?? tempting for £100..

theres a guy in the bass classifieds selling a peavey grind 6 for £200, buy that

nice intro mate, nice to see a YES fan on board! welcome to the forum

any reason your upgrading to the bass with the slightly warped pickguard and £450 is more than a bit expensive for the slab of wood the sub bass essentially is specially for the passive one, is that a mirror pickguard??

feel free to anyways lol

behringer v amp has mixed review, general consent is that its great value for money, but you get what you pay for, apparantly notes sustain poorly on some settings and do that awful glitchy digital thing, iv never played through one so i cant confirm this, but iv read several reviews that do an auto-wah is an effect that mimics the rocking of a wah pedal back n forth. the speed and depth of which can be set. personally i prefer an envelope filter, or an actual wah pedal

lol indeed just bought myself a mullard valve, il update this page on the results of that when i get it thru the post tomorrow

why thankyou

nah its definatly real, just looks used

once rid of those knobs i think id love that!

thumb looks gorgeous, if it had an extra string id so want it

lovin the sr5, nice basses you have there

well too late, bought now, seems to fit in with completed ebay listings, so if it dont work out il at least get my money back

well i bought it anyways, i figure looking at past ebay sales if i dont like it, or if its noisy or sumit il get my money back easy enough, its used but has been tested properly and apparantly has no leaks or anything so it should be okay
