[quote name='gilmour' timestamp='1349079879' post='1821327'] I haven't done any youtube vids for ages so I guess one's due Just finding the time to do it... [/quote] I've been promising to do some for ages, may as well wait for bass 3 to appear later this year and then pull the finger out... Eude

Amazing bass mate, and a cracking review too! Glad you're loving it You gonna do any youtube action with it? Eude

Looks like a great bash you lot! I'll definitely be there next time, I spent the whole weekend doing DIY in a desperate attempt to get our new house closer to habitable for the arrival of baby no.1. It was painful reading all the fun flooding my inbox, bar all the M25 shenanigans, I don't envy any of you that! Good work fellas and thank you all for sharing your pics too Eude

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1348692422' post='1817097'] God that guy is boring, hardly gets me rushing out to buy one. Plus it would have been nice to hear him play some bass, instead of that pseudo- guitar jazzy chord bollocks that's all the rage. [/quote] He is a bore you're right, the flat cap gives it away Try this one, this guy's a bit more dynamic... http://youtu.be/7arjCw5e35I Eude

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1348677291' post='1816849'] Hope so Eude dude! [/quote] Well if you're ever in Sanderstead feel free to give me a shout, perhaps you could pop round to have a go.

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1348675609' post='1816816'] +1 [/quote] Sorry Maybe next time?

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1348639855' post='1816204'] Damn, I was looking forward to trying the ead :-( [/quote] I know, I was looking forward to showing it off...

I'm out I'm afraid guys, somethings come up this weekend that I can't get out of. Hope you have a good bash and take lots of pics, videos etc... Eude

Sounds great dude! So you've got 2 tone prints on the amp at once This amp seems too good to be true! Oh, pics or it never happened Eude

[quote name='Musky' timestamp='1347656277' post='1803786'] Peavey have had the Headliner available in the US for a couple of years, although with a standard rack width it's not really a microhead. And in true Peavey fashion it's a bit heavier than most other class D amps as well. I don't think the new TNT is available over here either. [/quote] Yup, knew about that one, not a proper microhead by my reckoning though. I've just been feeling a little nostalgic for my ol' 2 x 4x10 Peavey rig I used to have a while back. No way I would ever really need anything like that again, or want to carry it up and down from the loft by myself! You're right, Peavey have a couple of very nice looking tilt back 1x15 combos, 300 and 600 watt I think, TNT and TKO, but they're not available here, tried to order some for a pal who set up a rehearsal studio recently and nobody in the UK could get hold of them, seem the UK distribution is a bit lacking on the Peavey front these days... Eude

[quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1347634362' post='1803396'] All they need do is make some kind of killer poweramp, with a slot just right to fit a character series pedal into. Class D, pick your prefreed voicing, have a couple, swap between Ampeg, Orange, Marshall etc in seconds. Sw***y. [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1347633466' post='1803372'] I agree on the Class D Tech 21 lightweight amp. Why don't they just make something LM2/3 size and go from there?! All it needs is the front panel to have the VT bass/Sansamp controls plus a mute and a few extras. Combine it with some clever engineering and a quality power module, and there we go! [/quote] Yup, splendid ideas! I can't figure out why Peavey haven't produced a decent class D based microhead too. Weren't they at the forefront of getting super small power amps on the market? Well 1u ones anyway. I loved my Peavey gear when I had it, for a solid state setup it sounded bloody marvellous, was just a little bit heavy. Would love to see a Peavey Microhead and matching 1x12 cabs.

[quote name='Dr Chocolate' timestamp='1347548817' post='1802317'] Nope. I'm still blaming you for all my GAS! [/quote] Fair enough

[quote name='Dr Chocolate' timestamp='1347548366' post='1802311'] Cheers Dude, she really is dreamy to play. Of course it's all thanks to you and your 33 inch vision! [/quote] I can't take the credit dude, I think Rickenbaker might have to, I think they were the first ones to do something close to 33"...

Man, that is one sweet bass!

[quote name='Bo Millward' timestamp='1347238387' post='1798439'] I've got a DHA VT1 EQ too here's a recording done with it: [media]http://soundcloud.com/harmonyofthought/youre-the-worst-instrumental[/media] I'd highly recommend it, its the most important piece of kit in my rig next to my bass! [/quote] That was awesome mate! Cracking tune, and tone

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1347292653' post='1798921'] Any old amp will do Nick - but the better the quality the better the sound Ideally I'd like to take a line out of the amp and then run the laptop through the PA - is that possible? Or I can just DI into the PA but a bass amp will give a better balance of thd the sound - let me know - PM if it's easier M [/quote] If I can make it, I'm happy for you to use my Promethean, or put that through my EAD cab. Eude

Very nice mate! Scroll basses rock, as do 33"ers. Going to be watching this one closely Eude

My only concern with the above 2 suggestions are that they're a bit old school compared to what you're used to...

Not much experience here, but you could always try the custom route?... Quite a few manufacturers make custom shorties these days. There's always this too >> https://www.acguitars.co.uk/Available/8/ Another option might be to find an off the shelf shorty and have a someone either build a slim neck for you or shave down the stock one? Good luck and I hope the wrist injury isn't too bad Eude

[quote name='MrT-Bass' timestamp='1346331684' post='1787946'] Thanks for the tuppence eude...I've spoken to MCRuiz and will hopefully be getting to check one of the 5ers out over the weekend. The principal of the neck sounds great and it's good to know there isn't much adjustment needed. My only other concern is the sound the bass will make in terms of the clarity of the pickups, but it sounds like they should be pretty transparent and the rest is down to me I guess Tiernan [/quote] I don't think you'll be disappointed. Lots of clarity available, creates that modern J tone very easily and obviously you can dial back to get something a bit more trad if you must The variety on tap with the East EQ should have something to please everyone... Eude

[quote name='MrT-Bass' timestamp='1346267663' post='1787295'] Great...thanks for the answers. The asymmetric neck sounds really interesting. Tiernan [/quote] It rocks! It doesn't require any adjustment, immediately feels more comfortable than any neck you've played before. It's not really noticeable on a 4 string however, but on 5 and 6 strings it really comes into it's own. It's much more ergonomically suited to your fretting hand too so it should help keep things like carpal tunnel syndrome and other hand related problems that bassists can get at bay. Just my 2p Eude

Looking good man!

I agree with chris b, 2x 1x12s would easily outpace a crappy to medium quality 4x10, but not a Markbass one. How about trying two of their 2x10 lightweight cabs? At 33lbs, they'd be a very easy one hand lift, even with a dodgy back >> http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=37 That might get you pretty close, and it'd give you the option of taking just one cab if the gig doesn't need too much power?... Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Xtof' timestamp='1345818371' post='1781978'] it is a 32' length scale. Patrick built a 6 string bass for himself, with a scale length at 31'. The low B sounds so huuuuuge!! :-) [/quote] Glad to hear it man, I'm a huge fan of sub 34" basses, I play 33" ones, 5 and 6 string, but would love to go a little shorter Eude

Great man, worked just fine! What scale length is the non piccolo?
