they may not reply immediately i emailed them about something and got a reply within 2 days I think - perfectly good and reasonable timeframe to expect

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1415193654' post='2597670'] That's the problem with GAS: it often bears little relation to reality. I was the same with the Walkabout head: wanted one desperately, finally got one, I think it went back to the seller (WoT IIRC) the following week in a mutually beneficial regret-based transaction. He loves it and missed it, I thought it was a bit 'meh' and couldn't see what all the fuss was about. That's not to single the Walkabout head out particularly, tho: I can't say I haven't done the same thing with umpteen amps, cabs and basses. [/quote] had lots of basses, not had one that wasnt great.still not found a rig that works for me .... yet. Any tips

[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1415208939' post='2597942'] I'd have a listen to them first. You can't believe everything you read on Basschat. [/quote] what? Thats shocking news!

The walkabout is on my list of wanting to try. Im not sure if that would mean I would I like it, I picked up my numb er one GAS amp last week and am not gelling with it 100 percent

mmmmm

Bassassin has one. Google basschat and he posted a bit about them years back.

thanks for that monsterthompson- it's really good to hear the views of someone who's used both the fearless/fearful line and the G3 Barefaced. Through the constant discussion on handles I hadn't heard many reviews of the G3 stuff yet.

I liked nr 1 the best - nr 3 was also nice. But I don't think the lesson is that cheap basses sound good - the lesson is a great player can make any bass sound better than I could make it!

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1414344915' post='2588471'] Funnily enough I was drawing up a shortlist for a 2x10 today and thought the Legend BP102 worth a second look, I also thought the Basslite S2010 looked interesting but is likely to be expensive over here. [/quote] hey! you 3 haven't even got a photo up on the 1x12 design thread yet and you're moving onto 2x10s??!!!

hello from Kirkstall - unless I reply from work in Rothwell!

Just traded an amp for a preamp with Ryan - brilliant guy and utterly stress free trade. cheers Ryan!

please

[quote name='monsterthompson' timestamp='1415032709' post='2595880'] As a former Fearful and Fearless owner and a current Barefaced owner, I'd not say these cabs are terribly similar in tone, depending on the model. I have a Super Compact and Super Midget (G3). Perhaps the earlier versions and/or the Big Baby are closer, but I haven't tried those. [/quote] - you're not getting away with that mate!! come on we want more descriptions and explanations of the differences - and why you switched

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1415000591' post='2595385'] I've really got to stop looking at the marketplace...... [/quote] why what are you after... fancy that overwater 5 string?

thanks for that - it was good to watch - and that Demeter DI sounds good too! Mind you you could do an equally long video just showing your top 19 sounds from the T40!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1414743960' post='2592766'] My PC cabs were built to order and delivered in three weeks. Magnificent handles too... [/quote] why mike walsh doesn't make a bigger thing of him also being an authorised Fearless/Fearful builder I don't know - the PC stuff has a great rep and you can get the Greenboy stuff made... with his v. lightweight ply and expertise - winner in my book. Admitedly my book doesn't have enough money in it to actually order one but hey ho. (and I have no idea about the handles) [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1414845399' post='2593876'] I had the same setup as you dude. Sounds great on tight squeeze stages. This retro 210 gives me a hankering for tall rig again. [/quote] tc electronics being trail blazers yet again?

[quote name='JPJ' timestamp='1414782437' post='2593336'] If your on Facebook, search out TrickyAudio [url="https://www.facebook.com/trickyaudio?fref=ts"]https://www.facebook.com/trickyaudio?fref=ts[/url] Guy is one of the two UK registered builder for the Greenboy US Fearless range :-) [/quote] fixed for you

he's scamming you - who gets a bust guitar and before contacting the seller to send it back goes and gets a fairly expensive quote for repair?

[quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1414625899' post='2591694'] Thank you to for the encouragement. The detailed design spec is not complete but the following are planned: 1. All Solid State with a Class D power amplifier topology. The main reason is that Class D makes for easier thermal management,.To put it bluntly it is easier to keep cool. 2. Power output a minimum of either 250 Watts Average into 8 ohms and 500 Watts Average into 4 ohms or 2 X 250 (dual mono} into 8 ohms.Output on Speakons, no jacks for speakers. 3. Pre amp section. This was designed by Charlie Escher (passinwind on TalkBass) after several months discussion between him and me. Chalie has finished his amp but is constantly refining it.There is a short thread on TalkBass about Charlie's amp here [url="http://www.talkbass.com/threads/a-diy-500-watt-bass-head.1061473/"]http://www.talkbass....s-head.1061473/[/url] Like Charlie, I will be adapting the design but with his knowledge and consent. I should false emphasise that although I hade many discussions with Charlie, he did the circuit design, modelling of circuit behavior and built an tweaked the first iteration of the circuit boards.It is his design. More tomorrow [/quote] on the class D stuff.... do you know what module you're going to use? Question coming from.. they seem quite expensive to the general public.... My old Tecamp Puma 1000 used a Powersoft Digimod 1000 .... which is nice and self contained as far as I could see.... and the same module as in this £200 amp (apparently) http://www.altoproaudio.com/products/apx1000

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1414623454' post='2591644'] It could be any number of things. Fit, finish etc. aside, you can't really give it a decent crack of the whip until the setup and strings are to your taste. [/quote] what wateroftyne says. also my old mountain bike is a lot "studier" than my road bike. But it's horses for courses rather than one being better or worse

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1414429468' post='2589194'] An old-school valve amp is heavy. An old-school bass cab is heavy. An old-school valve combo is very, very heavy. Not measured in lbs or kilo; think moons or even small planets. [/quote] time and gravity bend around them so I hear
