Fantastic news dude! Peavey amps are amazing, everyone owns a Peavey some point in their career. I used to have a 600W 2 x 4x10 Peavey stack back in the day, they don't make them light but they make them very very solid and that barky aggressive tone is always marvelous, even they're little practice amps sound good! Cheers, Eude

Very nice dude

Congrats matey! Can't wait to hear how you get on I intend to take some reasonable pics of my ACG family this weekend, assuming the light is OK, we all expect you to do something similar Eude

Ah, so you're the lucky guy! Congrats dude, that's one hell of a bass! Eude

Still no pics of this little rig?...

If you can find the other £50, this would be worth every single penny >> http://www.gak.co.uk/en/peavey-tour-tko-bass-combo/26236 Easy enough to move around by yourself, it'll fit in a corsa and it will be VERY loud when compared to the competition, Peavey Watts tend to be a lot louder than regular ones... Eude

Hubba hubba!

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1352107118' post='1858637'] thanks matey, pics indeedy will be provided when we are reunited via the medium of courier service (probably the end of this week)... [/quote] Fantastic! We'll be the only folks with Ziracote topped ACGs, as far as I'm aware Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1351983365' post='1857655'] I went to visit Alan last week and nr 0100 is coming to live in my house!

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1351695267' post='1854307'] There is plenty of debate over these modules. I think the key is that GBenz really know how to make a module give its all with clever technology and cooling methods. I would be quite interested to see the 900 watt GB amps tested. The Streamliner is an absolute volume hammer though. [/quote] That's a good point mate, I don't ever recall folks complaining about the GB's being too quiet, maybe Fender don't know what they're doing, or perhaps they borrowed the means to test wattage off Peavey... Eude

For what it's worth, I've heard that the power stage in the Fender Rumble 350 is identical to the one in the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0. Fender rate it at 350W, GB at 600W... Eude

You could go for an Ibanez Promethean combo (the older style one, the new one is only 300W without the removable head, or one of the HB or Red Sub ones, if you don't mind slumming it ... Small foot print, very small in the case of the Ibby, 500W removable head, 8 Ohm speaker out. Loud enough for small gigs on its own and for on stage monitoring for anything bigger with PA support. There's also the MiBass 220 with their Mi10 cab, would have a similar footprint to the Promethean. Heard wonderful things about the Ashdown MiBass kit. There's always one of these too >> http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=86 EBS Reidmar with one of the EBS 1x10 NEO Cabs? Oh, and there's a few Phil Jones combos which might be interesting, although they're all a bit quiet, more intended for an acoustic environment, and may be a little hifi sounding. Eude

Very nice dude

That is an absolute peach mate

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1351599940' post='1853059'] Hi Bud, I went for 45-105's. They're really nice strings eh !! Kind on the fingers too. I'll soon be ordering another set for my Jazz Bass as well. [/quote] Very nice Must put in an order for some more methinks... Eude

[quote name='Dr Chocolate' timestamp='1351589921' post='1852868'] Absolutely stunning collection you've got there!!! After your fretless GAS you could get a 3 string and a 7 string to complete the set If ever you get bored of playing them, I know of a good home for them... [/quote] Ha ha, thanks man I reckon a fretless will complete the justifiable basses anyway, probably never going to want a 7 string though, bit too big for me, a 3 string might be fun though... Will keep you in mind if they need a holiday Eude

I keep bugging them about making a kick back 1x12 combo with a removable 500W head, with a matching 1x12 cab, or perhaps make it stack nicely with the RS112 cab... Something a bit cheaper than the RH range, with a simpler front end, like the BH250 would be perfect, although I would prefer separate low and high mid controls. I'd buy one in a hot minute! Eude

[quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1351544878' post='1852504'] What a lovely trio ! [/quote] Why thank you All I need now is a fretless...

Nice What gauge did you go for? Eude

+1 for SIT Silencers. They can be quite bright to start off, but never harsh, eventually, they will die down a little and sound a bit closer to flats after a while. I find the mids a bit more pronounced than the regular SIT Nickels which a little darker, but still have a nice growl to them too, maybe try them too. I used to use Sunbeams and Nickel LoRiders a lot and the Silencers are up there with them in my opinion, so I think you might like them. Just for the record, I used to use 45 65 85 105 (130) in DR's, but I prefer a slightly lighter gauge for the heavier strings when using the Silencers as they're a little tighter, I use the following (30 - for the high C's) 45 65 80 100 (125) Definitely worth a try Eude

Slight update, not technically a settee, and a proper crappy phone cam pic, but you get the idea. 3 ACGs makes for a very happy Eude, just need one more now to sooth my GAS... Will do a proper photo, on a proper settee soon Eude

[quote name='scojack' timestamp='1351154274' post='1847889'] Wal pups are pretty unique and have a two coils per string if i remember correctly. I dont know of anyone else that uses/builds them. SGD Lutherie was looking to build them at one point but i dont know if he ever got round to it. [url="http://www.sgd-lutherie.com/pages/pickups.html"]http://www.sgd-lutherie.com[/url] [/quote] I've been following SGD's thread on talkbass for those pickups, its a bickering mess, and really I don't think they'll be on the market anytime soon. I've had a shot of the bass Alan is talking about, featuring the ACG Multicoil Pickup, and it sounded brilliant! I know which pickups I would rather have Really interesting sounding spec by the way. I've always loved the look of the RD Artist, it doesn't rate very highly as far as playability is concerned when you're 5 foot 6 though... Eude
