I hope you have a healthy supply of stab vests!

Aroundabout Sound is brilliant as is A Remus. They're the only two worth a visit in Glos/Chelt. Soundhouse is pap as is Millennium Music. Vintage Strings seemed okay when i went in though - but it was only once. Had a very tasty Ric 4001 from the 70's... over 3k though!

Rare and early Trace Elliot GP7 4x10 combo

Correct! Although it is now Sean's westone thunder jet 1! -
Rule of thumb on old trace gear. 1) Incredibly loud, ignore how man watts it is it'll be loud enough 2) Built like tanks 3) Therefore as heavy as one.

I would offer you a trade on a giant trace elliot combo... but it appears that a bad knee and a bad back + trace elliots DO NOT MIX! Best of luck with your health and the sale. That is the best T40 i've seen. -

Bump for price drop. Will trade for combos? -
I really liked my old Stingray 4. Agreed, not a stingray 'tone' par se but decent electronics to morph your tone. Well built and very playable - on par with VM squiers IMO. At that price you're mad not to!
-
I thought i bought this bass in a basschat record. I think it's been trumped! Sold pending the usual to Sean!

Hey Guys, After purchasing a simply delicious Squier VMJ 77 i'm going to move this on to a new loving home. It's served me well - classic P tones in a lovely stealthy japcrap shell. It's basically a Westone Thunder 1 but a limited run in all black with black hardware. Currently strung with flats it does a dub/motown sound beautifully. I'll get some pictures up for you shortly. £90 collected from SW Brum/Cheltenham/Gloucester/London (13th/14th feb only for London) Tom EDIT: Pictures from old thread. Exactly the same condition - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=108267&hl=westone+thunder+jet"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...one+thunder+jet[/url] I may well be interested in a trade for a valvey OD pedal.

Also, if you're considering one, i've been reading up on talkbass about these and it seems there are some QC issues - get one from a shop rather then the net to make sure you don't get a dog!

I A/B'd it with the sunburst and maple with blocks but not rosewood. Full volume on the neck and roll of the tone you've got all the dubby thump you'll need with a bass heavy EQ. The neck on the 77 is also slimmer then on the sunburst one IMO. Just felt rapid! It's also lighter then my old natural VMJ... feels a little slimmer?
-
Aha but that would be a lie!
-
Today i finally clicked with a bass! Sat down and it felt like playdoh in my childlike hands which i could manipulate to play anything i wanted in any sound I desired! I've had a VMJ before but I had a pop on one of the new black ones with white block inlays. My my. Warm phat tones from the neck pup rolled off the tone and a sweet nasal sing from the solo'd bridge. All for 300 smackers. You could call me a very very happy boy!!!!
-
You cheeky begger! I'll have a peek.

I was thinking perhaps getting an active bass to replace the Westone - i could control the EQ from the bass and keep the trace flat with a touch of preshape (it really sings set up like this). The ATK can go from phatness to punchy clang... that could work.
-
If I roll the tone on the Westone all I get is 'plonk' - I think that's the only way of describing it!
-
Hmmmmm but i REALLY love the tone at the moment for dubby magic! I'm tempted by getting a jazz and a sansamp.
-
Heh, maybe! I wouldn't mind a CV jazz... though the neck might be a bit pencilly. The 34 rays or subs seem pretty sweet too.
-
Haha, sorry Zak. Small world!
-
The Westone Thunder 1 is a passive P style bass from the 80's. A beautiful piece of japcrap! I've got it strung with flats. I think you're right - i might have to go down the fx road to get the variety of tones.

Hey guys, My influences include ska, reggae, indie and other forms of contemporary music. I need to be able to flick between ultra deep bass and sything (almost a classic rock 'valve' OD tone) sometimes within songs to emphasise the ebb and flow within a track. What sort of set up would you recommend? I currently run a Westone Thunder Jet into a Mk2 Trace Elliot 4x10 combo. This gives me a very distinctive sound but something very rigid. I was thinking something along the lines of an Ampeg SVT450h into a Hartke 2x15 cab (or the peavey 18+2x10 in the for sale forum on here) Would this suit what i am looking for or should I be looking towards a more high end valve head for a grindy ballsy tone? Tom
