[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1419976591' post='2644612'] It's the volume control on a passive bass that I don't understand!!! [/quote] when used with the input of a valve amp the volume knob has the ability to change the tone as well I think. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1420111365' post='2645591'] But I do think you would or should sit down and work out what the things do and how you go about getting your sound. Otherwise, it is just the same as forever tweaking your pedals... When I see people doing that, I get the imrpession that they don't know what they want or how to get it.... A few sessions in the beginning working on those things should eliminate a lot of that. [/quote] this. My Streamer has an ACG preamp in it. 8 Knobs to fiddle! It takes a while to get to the point where you know what you are listening for and just change it without thinking.... it takes longer to get to the point where you set and forget....

[b]Basses:[/b] OUT: My tomato soup bitsa Jazz based around a 1992 Squier Japan backup bass I hardly ever played... IN: BB1200 from 1977 - only the most amazing ebay accidental buy ever! [b]Learned: [/b]Yamaha make good stuff! [b]Skinny string things:[/b] OUT: Yamaha SG400 plus a Line 6 wee amp IN: a special acoustic.... [b]Learned: [/b]I'm still trying to learn guitar and sold a dreadnaught the previous year and kept the electric as it was easier to play... it sat and gathered dust. So that went. I soon got an itch for a guitar and decided to get a smaller bodied acoustic for fingerpicking. You know the unbranded random stuff you see on ebay.... saw something in one of the photos and took a £300 gamble... that paid off with an amazing copy of a early martin scalloped braced OM (I think) hand made by a fairly well known luthier..... man does it sound sweet and is probably as close to a Fodera standard instrument as I'll ever afford - even if it's not a bass! [b]Amps:[/b] OUT: Tecamp M210 Roland D-Bass 210 Ashdown APM1000 Tecamp Puma 1000 Warwick Hellborg Preamp [b]IN: [/b] Roland D-Bass 210 Ashdown APM1000 Warwick Hellborg Preamp ACME B2 Thunderfunk 750a Zoom B3 [b]Learned: [/b]Still not found what I'm looking for.....but a bit closer to finding it. anyone want to buy a thunderfunk or ACME? Oh and the Zoom B3 is a pretty good little box.....

not a million miles in design from Warwick's Hellborg Sig. Can't be bothered to look but probably priced about the same too.

[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1419892161' post='2643785'] 12 Ohm you mean. I have since had a go with a MiBass 550 too and get the same thing. [/quote] whats 4 ohms between friends? :-) Yeah you would expect them to br the same, are you going to do the crossover thing alex meantions on his website to make it a 4ohm?

I have no idea how the power management on the tc head is interpreting a 16ohm cab.... probably not a goix match

[quote name='Jenny_Innie' timestamp='1419634153' post='2641550'] Does anyone else, other than me, actually have one of these? I'd like to hear their thoughts. [/quote] I think you nay need to kick off the reviews jenny! Would love to know how it sounds

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1419252954' post='2637983'] Might actually be because you are a sh*t hot local band with a great reputation and loads of gigs on the books, ya pudden nut [/quote] turn up as in arrive or turn up as in turn the volume up?

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1419441266' post='2640034'] oh, I thought you were joking. Fair enough [/quote] to be fair I would love a big baby or big twin but the first thing I would do is take that logo off... but then I am a graphic designer snob....

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1419327958' post='2638720'] Looks like a port to me.. if it sounds good on the bottom like that it makes sense to put it there as it means the front panel can be smaller... which is always good. My PC cabs sound good and are light but they are pretty massive because of all the porting on the front. Anyway, hope it sounds good, post a review when you get a chance. [/quote] wouldnt it be the same size and the ports the same size however they are configured?

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1410776110' post='2552873'] Just snagged a blonde piggy-back Bassman after much searching, so thought i'd get some of my stuff out for a pic, so we have 3 x bass and rigs to add to this porn thread; '52 Precision and '52 TV Bassman, '58 Precision and '59 Bassman, '61 Jazz and '63 Bassman [/quote] only just saw this. amazing!

awesome thanks for sharing

talk to 2x18 -he had an issue with the switches on his. When it used to be mine I never had a problem. (BTW 2x BB2 - must be awesome!)

I was almost GAS free, then I paid my scrip for basschat and soon enough things were changing.... I ended up with a Warwick SS1 which is just "me" in bass format. Love it. A very old Warwick Thumb my wife gave me is awesome and is going no where, and a BB1200 which is amazing, ebay bargain - put bluntly if I sold that with the money I couldn't get anything near the quality... so going nowhere.... so GAS free! with basses.... still trying to work out what I want as a rig... never played through a all valve setup and keep finding myself attracted to things that are too heavy with Glass bottles, or wanna build my own cabs, and preamp and... oh but cannae do anything at the moment as I spent most my bass money on a thunderfunk....

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1418910189' post='2634732'] After around 6 years, I can finally play for about 45 mins a day on good days. I know that I could get a cheaper bass, well, I have one but to have a top end one will be cool. [/quote] you're paying enough that you can be picky.... why not see if you can find the bass that is best for your RA so you are able to play it longer? (I'll admit I don't know what it is, but I guess it's some kind of joints or muscle thing that bass playing can aggravate? may be utterly wrong there)
