Aluminium Hartke Cabs to my ears have a very bright sound. Too bright? Also think they have a 80s mid scoop built into their sound.

Not 15s because I think that modern 12s are capable of shifting the air and creating the depth that a traditional 15 did...oh and they're gonna be bigger..

Gentleman:

Scenario: 4/5 string player in covers/function band, using Fender Jazz and Lakland basses.
Currently using Eden Metro Combo and 2x10XST.
Great amp & cab, but is there a lighter amp & speaker combination that will give me...

A completely flat tone, no scoops, bumps, colouration or accents.
At least 500 watts. Really 500 watts...and yes I know that both the speakers and the amp must be up to scratch.
Quality XLR DI
Don't need/want booming bottom end....
2x10s or 2 12s..don't mind
No need for significant eq functions.
0% need for any grind/grit...although a warming tube is not a problem!
Robust to be used on the road.

I really like my Eden gear. It's very very well made. It's a pro piece of kit, but I'm not convinced that after 3 years of service it's doing my style of "mids-heavy overplaying" any favours.

I think... SWR would give me much the same.
EBS is too gritty
Hartke is too brittle
TC is aimed at a rockier sound
Gallien & Genz equally
And I don't want MarkBass...because I'm called Mark!

£1750 is the max budget, and I'm happy to consider 2nd hand.

What about a Lakland Jazz 5 with Audere Preamp/Barts and some cash....

Is this the newer True Bypass pedal?

Thanks

[quote name='tredders' post='1071303' date='Dec 28 2010, 09:53 PM']I was thinking "Nice, shame about the extra 3 strings I won't use"...

Did someone mention a Lakland for sale? I'm just about to start (half heartedly) looking for a maple fingerboard Bob Glaub....[/quote]

It's a Joe Osborne 5 with Maple fingerboard, Audere Preamp and Bartolini Pups....

Any interest in a swap deal of your Musicman for my Status 4000?

[quote name='Paul Clifton' post='1065327' date='Dec 21 2010, 12:45 AM']and when the drums stop...[/quote]

[quote name='Paul Clifton' post='1062415' date='Dec 18 2010, 12:59 PM']How far would you travel?[/quote]
I'd travel 100 miles if the deal was right.

Second Eden Gear...Built like the a tank and versatile enough to fit most styles.

[size=5]Up for sale is my Status 4000. [/size]
It's a 4 string headless model with the classic phenolic/graphite weave neck. The body is a metallic black with J J pickups. The bass has serial number 0159 which I believe puts it around the 1990 mark. The bass is rock solid and has been a tremendous servant to me for over 10 years.
Wear & Tear:
The gold lettering has been rubbed of the bridge pickup - pictured
A small surface scratch on the back - fairly insignificant on a 20 year old bass.
To be honest it's a lovely looking bass in very good nick..No nasty secrets!
It will come in its hard case.
SOLD SORRY
