    Dammit! Couldn't you have shown up 2 days ago? I've just bought Mr Hamler's Lakland... Good luck with the sale anyway. And welcome!

    What's the string spacing at the bridge on this bass? I know Pedulla offer 2 options (17.5mm or 19mm).

    Very nice. Quite fancy this...

    [quote name='ezbass' post='346196' date='Dec 5 2008, 10:15 AM']A great sounding head to be sure, but definitely no lightweight.[/quote] I stand corrected. I thought it would have been out-weighed by the hartke LH500 - but the LH500 is 10.5 kilos, the abm is 14... the wooden case probably adds about half of the difference. Strip out all the useless tosh and it's be even lighter! I feel a wee project coming on... Anyone got a spare ABM going cheap?

    I'll probably get flamed for suggesting this, but I'm using an Ashdown ABM for my simple tone machine. It's lighter weight than some of the other suggestions here. Valve drive on 12 o'clock, pre-shape on, eq off. Only gain and volume to worry about then. As far as I'm concerned Ashdown would do well to release an amp with gain, valve/clean blend and volume AND NOTHING ELSE. There are thousands of guys looking for a simple bass amp - that could be just the tool and surely more useful to them than these mythical 'little giants' we keep hearing about...

    PM'd you

    Ah. I thought the way you were talking you were wanting to join the 19mm club... I've come to realise it's the only spacing that works for me on a 5 string.
  9. Bigwan
    "Reasonably wide string spacing" and "'Ray 5 or G&L L2500"? Not the basses for you if you want a wider string spacing mate. Speaking from experience.

    I ordered 3 sets of Elites from them a while back, but they were out of stock. It took a while for them to come in but they kept me informed via email while I was waiting.

    What's the string spacing at the bridge? What are you GASing for btw?

    Oh how I wish this was a fiver!

    Played this one (or its twin) in the gallery a few years back. Entirely unimpressed. The Emperor 5 was a different matter... I was about to sell Granny for that one...

    A stonking night last night in our 'nemesis' venue (2 separate stages - drummer on 1, everyone else on the other!). Floor full from first not until last. Usually the place is empty, but this was our first Saturday night there and it was standing room only. And the ladies... oh the ladies... there were a few 'bum' notes, if you know what i mean :brow: Roads were awful and I wasn't crawling into my pit until nearly 4 (finished at 1), but well worth it and we've been booked for 2 nights a month in the place next year after last night.

    [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='340324' date='Nov 29 2008, 10:15 AM']I played a new Lakland JO 4-stringer the other week. Lovely bass with through body stringing, etc., but it had very narrow string spacing. Definitely not 19mm. Is this normal on Lakland jazz models?[/quote] Very strange. Mine is somewhere between 19-20mm...

    [quote name='jerseytrev' post='337836' date='Nov 26 2008, 10:49 PM']hi do you rate the jo against the dj as i am going to try both[/quote] Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I've never played a DJ. The DJ is a slightly different vibe (70's jazz rather than 60's). I've never played a Laklnad I didn't like (some more than others though - the hollow just wasn't my thing, but i'd like to have one in the house 'cos they look so cool!). I'm thinking about moving on my Bongo5 and replacing it with a Lakland 5 string.

    [quote name='raze' post='340321' date='Nov 29 2008, 10:12 AM']What sort of thing are you looking for changing it for ?[/quote] Preferably cash! It is awesome, and very lightweight for its size (only weighs 2 pounds more than my 1x10 ashdown combo!), it's just much more poke than I'm ever likely to need - but the GAS had hold of me at the time and wouldn't let go! I'm not in dire need to replace it with anything as my Ashdown combo is enough for any of my current gigs (supplemented by an Aguilar 1x12 if the PA gives up!).

    Hi guys, I'm considering selling my Tech Soundsystems 4x12 cab. I'd be looking in the region of £500 plus postage for the cab. Details of the monster can be found here: [url="http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html"]http://www.tech-soundsystems.com/eng/home/index.html[/url] under 12" section. The cab is 8 ohms, but is very sensitive so volume and 'not using full power of my amp' has never been a worry. I can get pics for anyone who's interested, but it's basically as new (never gigged - only used at rehersal a few times so hardly broken in). Just too big for my current requirements. Cheers Ian

    Bump for price drop - Now £175 inc postage!

    [quote name='flychris' post='338832' date='Nov 27 2008, 07:16 PM']here is mine : tecamp Puma 500 (6lbs)+ XS112 for small gigs (22lbs) / + S212 (41lbs) for bigger ones [/quote] The new look of the tec amp stuff is starting to grow on me. I have the older Tech Soundsystems 4x12 and it's an awesome cab!

    [quote name='lefrash' post='338854' date='Nov 27 2008, 07:36 PM']The bass is my ideal bass, and I doubt i'l be changing/upgrading any time soon.[/quote] Yeah, you say that now... just you wait... everybody here's heard that one before! Welcome, btw!

    Bump

    www.ax84.com www.18watt.com The theory's the same for guitar and bass so both these sites will suit you - ax84 has a bass project I believe.

    No matter what bass I receive into the collection, my Skyline JO4 is the benchmark it's measured against. Fantastic bass.
