[quote name='Beedster' post='767290' date='Mar 7 2010, 08:49 PM']I think the Fender's quite weighty also?[/quote] Roughly 20kg the TV 12, which is about 4kg lighter than my Orange AD200 alone. The 210AV cabs seem to be about 12kg. How light is the head, about 5kg?

Thanks for coming back to us on that. I'm sort of considering one of these, or a Fender TV Bassman 12", as a nice home/possibly recording/possibly light weight small gig rig. I get the feeling the Fender might have a more pleasing tone, but there's something about the micro VR - i love the look of it, plus you can add an extra cab. I'll be recording with its big daddy this weekend.

imo the VT pedal does a very good job of emulating the SVT sound.

I'm going the opposite way. I may likely be selling stuff soon.

[quote name='bass5' post='742959' date='Feb 12 2010, 12:03 PM']...my question is: why is it that I am having so much fun with this cheapo Squier compared to all of the other more expensive ones listed?[/quote] A. It has exceeded your expectations. B. You've realised you don't need 'bells and whistles' to have a great bass (it's a precision after all)

I have the T-REx Junior as well. It's perfect. No hum etc. Don't buy cheap, as you will just end up spending more on another one. Get one with isolated outputs (like the T-Rex).

The DB series cabs are great. I wouldn't tinker with mine.

Some Fender sound bites here. Quite useful, as you can select different mixes to hear - full band/drums & bass/bass only. The songs also feature the different TV amps and different Fender basses ('51P, AM P, RW Jazz, Deluxe Jazz). It says what the gear is on screen too.

They're part of Dawsons.

So essentially false advertising, without even any small print. Looks like the sort of online people i like to avoid.

er, lol. They've priced the 150W 10" the same as the 350W 2x10 Has to be a mistake.

That looks like a Frank Bello bass in the Slither clip.

DI box into the PA then

Perhaps something like an Ashdown EB180 and use the DI out into the PA for a little more volume? I'd say you'd need at least 150W (ss).

Tahiti 80 - Puzzle

I found a few more short samples (mic and then XLR out) [url="http://en.audiofanzine.com/bass-guitar-combo-amp/fender/Bassman-TV-Series/reviews/"]here[/url] (scroll to the bottom of the page).

You're not alone. I'm also interested to hear the 12". From the sounds of the vid, they do sound reasonably fat though, but that guy always plays quietly. It would be good to hear it in a band context.

Wunjo appear to have an [url="http://www.wunjoguitars.com/index.php?sid=4&mid=1"]Ox bass[/url] - a strange Fender neck/Charvel body Precision (second one down). Not sure if he ever played it though.

I hate it when drummers change the tempo. I also hate it when they get offended, when i tell them, as if it's impossible for them not to keep it constant. As well as playing in bands, i've played to a drum machine for over 15 years, so i know what a nice, solid, non-fluctuating beat feels like. I agree, we bassists hear everything, while all other parties generally only listen to themselves.

So many amps, such little space.

Thanks. Yes, i'd also like to hear it with a passive bass too. I think it's 5kg MacDaddy. I wonder what the wattage is at 8ohms.

That'll be the Bath store of Vintage and Rare. There's also Angel Music on Denmark Street too. It's upstairs, above where the old Music Ground was.

Do you come up with your own stuff and or play other instruments? I'm really enjoying my band at the moment, as i feel we're really progressing. However, at some point it will end. When it does, time that was dedicated to the band wil be dedicated to recording my own material. At the moment, i just voice memo record ideas and keep them. Eventually i plan to record them properly.

[/i] Hey, I'm not talking about singing 'Yesterday' on the top when playing bass-part... I'm actually talking about singing[i] to what you're actually playing[/i], cool? [/quote] You mean like this chap?
