[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1363612921' post='2014695'] I did think about that but decided no [/quote] Birdseye Maple cover?

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1363608497' post='2014578'] Think you are right about the silver. The graft is great as its all black but not sure I want black on this [/quote] Excellent taste

What colour hardware you going with again? Normally it would be black for me but for some reason I think chrome might look just right on all that purple, plus it'll set it apart nicely from you none-more-black Graft version

That's going to be a peach matey , albeit a purple one. Looking forward to seeing this develop!

[quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1363376647' post='2012164'] everyone should own at least one warwick - they're epic Obviously I'm biased, but the thumb is a classic and believe me, they lack *nothing* in the sound department [/quote] +1 Nothing missing whatsoever from Warwick in the sound department. The ergonomics can leave a little to be desired, the Thumb in particular, but I still love the look, might see about a medium scale Thumb is I ever win the lottery... Eude

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1363263503' post='2010595'] There's more info on the other Show thread - in Off Topic I think. I can't be more helpful myself as I know the guys from Proel (Cort distributors) and have been sworn to secrecy. But it's all on here if you have a look. [/quote] How very mysterious...

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1363258491' post='2010498'] Just had a look at all the photos I took at the LBGS, but I don't have any of the Cort stand I'm afraid (probably didn't take any because there were too many people standing in front of it at the time). Sorry. [/quote] No bother, thanks for taking the time to check

Bit of a shot in the dark here, but I don't suppose anyone noted what the microhead was in use at the Cort Booth? I only noticed it in a photo on Facebook but I didn't recognise it...

Wow! Thanks guys! Lots of good info there! The Promethean does do exactly what I want and I'm probably an idiot for considering moving it on but I really just fancy a change... Eude

Hey there, thinking out loud about amps at the moment, I'm considering moving on my Promethean P5110 Combo for a reasonably loud (up to about 500W max), reasonably small amp head, as I already have a nice EAD cab, but I'm wondering what's out there with an Aux In and Headphone Out. I've really come to rely on these features now and don't think I could be without them. I've been looking at the Markbass Big Bang, bit pricey though. The TC BH250 looks pretty good, but the EQ might be a little too basic - would like separate low and high mid controls or at least a parametric mid control, it's potentially a little quiet as my cab is only 8 Ohms and I'm very concerned about build quality. I like the look of the Ashdown MiBass 2.0, but have the same EQ concerns as with the TC. So what else is out there folks? (Before we start, [i][b]please[/b][/i] don't suggest buying any amp plus a headphone amp, I'd rather have it all in one compact box, hence why I've posted looking for some input...) On a side note, there was an interesting looking microhead at the Cort booth at the London Bass Show, don't suppose anyone knows what it was?... Thanks you lot! Eude

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1362669988' post='2003113'] I don't understand why bass players want deafening amps. You just need it loud enough to compete with the drums - then it goes through the PA. In the old days 100watt was considered more than enough. Now its 500 watts, etc. [/quote] +1

[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1362586170' post='2001727'] I've seen them in Red Dog Music in Edinburgh. I tried one there - really enjoyed it. Thinking of getting one when it comes to gigging again (or when I have that much disposable cash to get the 2x10 also!) Got a brilliant tone from it (using a 70s reissue jazz bass). [/quote] Red Dog is a fair ol' distance form me these days since I left Edinburgh I've just checked the TC site and GuitarGuitar are TC Dealers, the Epsom one isn't too far from me and is a great shop too, very friendly folks and reasonably sized bass department, may just pop along if I end up not going for a Big Bang... Eude

[quote name='baseline9' timestamp='1362585573' post='2001718'] I have the IPOD / MP3 connection on my TC head, you can also plug it into your PC sound card or any interface with the right input. I found it's probably the most useful feature on my amp as I can rehearse in silence and play along to songs at the same time, no more waking the kids up or annoying next door! I also use in conjunction with an MBOX and protools for getting ideas and "my amp sound" down. I use it that much I got rid of my little practice amp. Went to a gig on Sat and the bass splayer was using a mini mark combo, was very impressed. Cheers. [/quote] Cheers for that mate, I've seen the TC head, the BH250, right? I like it, but there's a few things missing... I'm currently using a 500W head and although I'll never ever need it's full wattage, 250W would feel a bit too much of a drop as I'm only using one 8 Ohm cab. I also love the sound of the MarkBass LittleMark and really like the separate Low and High Mid Controls. You never know though, I might end up with one yet, who sells them here in the UK? Eude

[quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1348926044' post='1819830'] Finally have a working Big Bang ! The last two had a fault with the headphone out. Basically, when you plug the headphones in the power LED flashed & this could be heard throughout the headphones ! Not any more. Very happy with it so far. Definitely warmer than the F 500. Couldn't say which I prefer at present. Will have a few gigs this week so that will be the deciding factor. I will try & post a video comparison soon as. [/quote] I see you ended up moving yours on, any particular reason? I'm thinking of picking one up, I loved the sound of my ol' LittleMark and would go for one again but I really need the Aux In/Headphone Out. I've heard from many sources that the Big Bang sounds a lot warmer than the F1/500, is that the case? Do you reckon it's similar to the LM? Thanks dude, Eude

[quote name='kurcatovium' timestamp='1362583127' post='2001679'] Do you know approx. price tag on this one? I'm afraid it will be out of my limited budget... [/quote] Best email Alan here >> http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Contact/ Or drop him a PM on here, his user name is [b]Skelf[/b] I think you'll be pleasantly surprised Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1362581541' post='2001645'] Youtube? link please...always nice to see Alan's creations getting a work out! [/quote] Here you go... http://youtu.be/kV6mH7lj9x4?t=5m19s

[quote name='mcruiz67' timestamp='1362580875' post='2001629'] ACG vote!! Fretless at the show was responsive, light, looks great. Hmmmmm I might have it!! [/quote] I saw a video of you absolutely blazing on that thing mate, amazing Eude

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1362385906' post='1999085'] Check out ACG on here too (affiliates section). Alan does some stunning s/cut basses. [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Gallery/[/url] [/quote] +1,000,000 [quote name='ead' timestamp='1362556920' post='2001129'] How about this, in stock now so none of the agonising waiting [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/Available/46/"]http://www.acguitars...k/Available/46/[/url] [/quote] I had the pleasure of trying this bass out on Saturday at the London Bass Show, it was absolutely amazing! Compact, versatile and lightweight with a wonderful tone and incredibly flexible preamp. If you're in the market for a fretless singlecut 5 string, I really don't think you could do much better! Eude

I used to own a 5 string Bolt-on, the neck dive wasn't SO bad, but it was very heavy, I think the heavier the body, the less chance of neck dive, mine did a little in comparison to basses I've owned since, but at the time it didn't bother me at all, what did bug me though was the reach to 1st position. I'm just a little guy though 5 foot 6, and 12 stone (all muscle...), so I guess that would have had a lot to do with it. If I'd known at the time of ordering that I could've had a 32" bolt-on neck as a custom option, for what wasn't much more cash at the time, I'd probably still own it... Eude

Love the striped fingerboard idea, very cool

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1360671107' post='1974207'] Four strings are quite sufficient for me unless I'm playing my 5-string air bass, but that can be a bit tricky due to the added complexity [/quote] Cool, that will be a lovely bass, Alan makes some incredible instruments, as you know. Got a real soft spot for a bit of Wenge myself I've got 4, 5 and 6 string ACGs, but I'm best at on my air 3 string bass
