    Possibly. Preamps and FX pedals are not the same thing so it depends on your entire signal chain. But you can experiment with the kit you have - run your BK7U straight into the FX Return on the LM3. That will bypass the LM3 preamp.

    I'm now using my Supertwin with an Ashdown RM800 Evo2. It's now the only bass head I own and it seems to go with the cab very nicely.

    To use with a different preamp. A standard bass head has a Preamp and a Poweramp in it. But if you can't get what you want in a single box, having separates might get you there.

    Now I need £3000 as well!

    EBMM don't state the wood type anymore. That started when the extra light ash they were using for the Stingray Specials began to run out due to a wood infestation in the USA. Since then it's been "select hardwoods" on the description of the standard models. String spacing on the ray5 is 17.5mm at the bridge.

    Demeter Minnie 800D power amp is tiny and great. https://www.demeteramps.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=92 GR Bass Pure 350 / 800 https://www.grbass.com/portfolio/pure-amp-350/

    I bet they could cut the price in half and keep the same profit margins if they weren't paying New York rent. I've played a couple of them and although they were excellent they weren't any better built than a Marleaux for a quarter of the price (or lower).

    This thought occurred a little while ago. At the moment my favourite bass is my Sandberg TT4. I love to play it. It's a Superlight so it's really easy. When playing at home I set it up for both pickups or the bridge pickup and get a trad jazz sound out of it. Then I get to rehearsals / gigs - playing the same songs that I've been practising at home, and all of a sudden I prefer a precision sound, if not a P bass itself as I like slimmer necks. There's just something more grindy about the P that fits better. Often I'll play the TT4 anyway but use the neck pickup only and EQ it completely differently to get close to a P sound. Or I'll take a precision. It is the same tunes / arrangement and I'm sure the good old Fletcher-Munson curve comes into play, and I suspect I play harder at gigs than at home too. Anyway, it was just a thought!

    I often use a One10 with my big band - medium loud drummer, and a load of brass / reeds. It's fine. I use a mid heavy precision sort of sound for that. Not massive amounts of lows.

    The interview is excellent.

    Shaved. Wait, what was the question?

    For me it's the trombones. Noisy barstewards, the lot of them!

    Only 12 months until my Lionel gets here.... Not that I'm counting down the days or anything!

    I like light strings. Either Ti Flats or D'Addario Pro Steels 40-100. Sometimes I'll use 35-95 Prosteels too but I never go heavier than 40-100 on a usual 34 scale bass.

    I've got a Hotone Thunder Bass head (5W!!!) into a One10. That tiny Hotone sounds just like a proper SVT. It's quite remarkable. I see no reason why the Ampeg wouldn't be a good choice.
  18. fretmeister
    That Vox looks interesting!

    My big band doesn't have a PA!! 2 dozen brass and reeds is still smegging loud though.

    How chunky is the neck on the JMJ model?
  21. fretmeister
    Does it do anything more than a trusty LS-2?

    Basic interface, Smartphone, AmpliTube free. Amplitube imports songs from iTunes for easy practice

    I put a set of US ultralights on a £140 Jim Deacon precision!

    plumbers tape is the answer. I’ve done that several times.

    I've not bought it for ages. I used to have a sub but it all got a bit samey.
