I have a Dean 8, love it! Cannot us it all the time, but am really glad I have it in my arsenal. Pulled the naf EQ out and replaced with passive VVT though, much better.

In addition to what was said in this thread, NOBODY can do it all equally well. Some can't do anything well, some have a few bits they excel at (I stick myself in this group), some can do a lot well, but even the most complete player will not be as complete in all areas. In my opinion music should be about getting the best out of yourself and more importantly expressing yourself, at whatever level, and if you find bits you excel at good on you. Chris is a solid player in Muse and his skill shines through, if he is outside that setting to me is pretty irrelevant as he is the bass player of Muse, not the bassist with Chick Corea. I only resent him for his effect on the Akai synth prices

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1432724060' post='2784246'] Would I fit in a funk band? Not really. Then again, I have no interest in being in a band like that. Everyone concentrates on what they need for what they do. It's just logic really. So to criticise someone shouting "one trick pony" is merely oneself looking at one's own proficiency in the mirror.

Welcome to the dark side, we don't bite

I find the Providence Dual Bass Station very handy. But you can also roll back on volume knob of your SB or boost the JB.

Hey, not seen one for years. My 1st bass was a white one...... The only bass I could afford in the music shop , great little bass and fond memories.

Steve bought a GB Focus 210 off me. Good comms, fast payment, totally hassle free. Simply put an outstanding BC member and I would not hesitate to deal again. Cheers mate.

Thanks Steve, it was good all around , off to your feedback page now.....

Awesome finish and just so stupendously large it must flap trousers..... your fuzz pedal will love you.

I am an absolute sucker for gear, but for some reason the Multiamp doesn't interest me in the slightest. Probably has to do with the fact that 1. Markbass and I do not seem to get along all that well and 2. the all in one thing scares me, what if it breaks (I had the same thoughts with the Kemper profiling amp). That said, good review and taste is everyone's personal prerogative!

Generally 1 210 is not enough for anything bigger than low sound level rehearsal/small pub gigs, 2 210s are, 2 112s are in my experience.

SOLD! Genz Benz Streamliner + 2x Focus 210s
HazBeen replied to HazBeen's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
It is 390 for the amp, 130 a piece for the cabs, excl shipping. At this stage though I can only offer a "will keep you in mind", if I decide to split. [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1429891409' post='2756109'] I could be interested in one of the cabs (price depending) if you decided to split. [/quote] -
Not entirely sure about this, but lets check interest. I have this as a 2nd rig and I have to admit I am not using it too much, whilst it is a great sounding and very light rig. Cabs come with Roqsolid padded covers and are in very good optical condition, only a few minor scrapes. Head comes in a padded case, and apart from a few scuffs still looks very good. Looking for £650 for the whole rig, including speaker cables. Would prefer not to split but may be willing if I have buyers for the loose components. I live in Holland, shipping would be around 50£ to mainland Europe and UK. Pls check my feedback for an indication how I ship my stuff. Or trade for a 610/412 or similar. More pics upon request, the cabs and head are not in the same location so attached a pic from a recent gig. Vertically stacked.

I support Bootsy666, although the maths don't lie and BFM's advice should put a stop to it sometimes you have to do what you have to do. If (when) it turns out not to work the cab could easily be converted into a forward facing 4x15 that would work well. Also sludge/stoner fuzz walls of sound require something that does not necessarily fits convention or even sanity.... Go bootsy!

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1429218593' post='2749477'] I was refering to the M2500 being polite. The 1605 is actually not very polite (all the others are). There may be a delay getting one though, as i just did a trade on a Geddy Lee Jazz! [/quote] I got it, I meant that an M2500 isn't the no holds barred monster the L2500 is, but it will still bite you b@llocks off. A little easier to use in multiple band settings.

The 2TEK version was Gen 2. I owned several Gen2's and a Gen1. For me the Gen2's are probaly best bank for the buck you can buy JB wise. The Gen1 I liked at the time (it was my 2nd bass), but aimliked the Gen2 more, just slightly better quality build. 30 years of use will leave both looking better than your average Fender, very good build quality. I saw a Gen1 one in a Houston shop last year, 300 US...... Cheap as chips.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1429140027' post='2748541'] Not sure I like the sound of polite, I like a bit of a dirty sound for quite a lot of the stuff I am doing at the moment (covers mostly, tend to be a bit cleaner for my stuff). [/quote] A polite L2500 sound will still be face melting compared to your SRs IMO. I play in your face rock with it... No problem.

Mostly fingers, also pick, also thumb and fingers for an upright like sound, some slap........ Bottom line, whatever feels right and you think is/ sounds best.

Mesa/Boogie Diesel R5410 Powerhouse 1000 Opinions
HazBeen replied to RedSlap's topic in Amps and Cabs
Personally I think bi-amping is a waste of time and I stopped doing it in mid-90's. In the olden days it made sense, but the current bass speaker/cabs are so efficient it is simply not needed to get a full-range/ well rounded tone. If you do want to biamp, the 800RB is perfectly suited to do it. You need a lot less watts for the highs than you need for the lows, 100w is more than plenty. 300 RMS is roughly what most D class heads put out in real terms, I would say enough for most situations. The "weak" comment is incorrect. I your cab can handle much more power it would not necessarily sound weak if you use less. -
Eminence 3015's would work. Although the maths do not lie, the cab may be pretty well suited for the sludge/stoner I have just enjoyed checking out.... Although a 4x15 straight in the cab you have just built and then another would work better.... Interesting link for you to read. http://www.markpercy.co.uk/cabinet.htm

Come over to Holland for a weekend in Amsterdam and drop by our rehearsal studio, I have a M2500 (USA) as my main bass. It has a slimmer neck than my L2500, I do not like big necks and it feels very comfortable. That said, you have Ibbies so most necks will feel a little chunky in comparison perhaps. Very flexible bass, great feel, great tone..... An L2500 in a suit, a bit more polite. Compared to the several Stingrays HH and HS 5-ers I owned I prefere the neck and tone of the M2500. Thomann has a 30 day return policy.......

Great basses!
