    Haven't seen one of those in a long time!

    Think it was last year that Fieldy didn't tour with Korn (new child). His dep? Ryan Martinie, formerly of Mudvayne... Just a bit of a step up in the bass department... And then there was Trujillo the younger (aged 12)...

    The clips sound bloody awful...

    Great price. This won't last long.

    [quote name='machinehead' timestamp='1507734519' post='3387599'] Is that price from Mesa themselves? If it is, you could read the specs of the side of the transformer and try to buy a replacement from Farnell, RS or the like. (Input V, VA, output(s) V, VA etc. It's a toroidal transformer I think? I think it might be cheaper but certainly worth a try. Frank. [/quote] Hopefully the specs ARE printed on it - a quick google for Mesa Walkabout Guts shows a pic from "that other well known bass forum" (https://www.talkbass.com/threads/amp-guts-photos-official-thread-lets-see-those-pics.513929/page-32) with specs printed on the side of the transformer, just not clear enough to make them out!

    You could probably have someone wind one locally cheaper than that. If you can find the specs of the original one that is.

    Jeez for a minute there I thought I'd wandered onto TB by mistake...

    If you've had hands on it you're a step ahead of the rest of us. Only question that matters - Do you like it enough to pay what is being asked?

    The TH350 uses the same amp module as a lot of the 500 watt class D amps (b&o icepower 125asx2). It maybe doesn't have the fancy power management/compression handling of some other 500w heads, but it'll be roughly in that ballpark volume-wise.

    [quote name='devinebass' timestamp='1507660127' post='3387085'] Nice bass! [/quote]

    Thanks guys! It's the total opposite of my ACG 5 in terms of simplicity. None the worse for it might I add.
  13. Bigwan
    Beautiful! I wish I got on with Jazz basses...
  14. Bigwan
    That's pretty dire...

    I think Josh is narrowing his product range. His first release was the P15 - little B15 preamp in a box. He's done a lot of custom building over the last year, including other valve pre designs. Some really interesting stuff.

    Line 6 Helix.

    [quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1507544179' post='3386127'] Bought a Helix LT this weekend (Absolute were doing a stupidly good 0% 24 months finance deal and a good price). I got them to get it out of stores for a gander and my other half said, "Just buy it...here's the deposit". :-) Patched to the latest spec, just got to find the time to actually set it up now. [/quote] Why can't I find this deal online?! A conspiracy I say!

    [quote name='ProjeKtWEREWOLF' timestamp='1507565531' post='3386379'] I've played/owned several really nice basses, but sold them to fund....oh god, i'm sorry....drums. [/quote] It's OK man. You're home now.

    I'd be looking at setup/strings/nut for your issues. Wouldn't be swapping out pickups or adding a pre without that as the issue could remain. Also I'd question whether you need a pre for the flexibility you're after. Pick tone and motown sound are both achievable with a P pickup and tone control. Add in bridge pickup and maybe a switchable EQ curve (pedal) and you're sorted.

    iRig HD2

    Bigwan replied to ped's topic in Accessories and Misc

    I'm using a focusrite itrack pocket as an interface and it works well. Originally intended for iPhone as it double jobs as a stand, but works well for the iPad too. I found the original iRig was stupidly noisy on my old iPhone with a lot of crosstalk, especially on guitar with distortion, but I haven't tried it on iPad yet...

    Hi folks, Relentless GAS has taken hold. Lots of things have broken in my house recently (oil boiler and american fridge) and car needs some expensive work doing. As a result I have to part with something, and this ACG is unfortunately worth more than anything else I'm willing to part with. For the price of a bitsa you can have a hand made bass made by one of our own! This is the bass Alan donated to his local cricket club to raise funds via evilbay auction. It doesn't actually feature on his website for some reason. RRP for this was stated in the auction as £1100. ACG Finn 4 Top: Goncalo Alves Body: Alder Finish: MLF (minimum lacquer finish) Neck: Asymmetric Neck Profile / 3 Piece American White Ash Fingerboard: Indian Rosewood 24 Fret With Zero Radius Dual Action Trussrod Carbon Reinforced Alloy Side Dots SIT Powerwound Nickel Strings. Weight: 7.5Lbs Hardware - Goth GB720 Tuners Hipshot Type B Bridge 19mm Spacing Hipshot String Tree Dunlop Dual Design Straplocks Electronics - ACG Custom Wound PB Split Coil Volume Tone Series / Parallel Coil Switching Via Mini Switch FREE Fusion F4 Gig Bag Included This is my 3rd ACG and doubtless I will have more. Alan's work is exemplary. The following photos are Alan's as I'm about the worst photographer on the planet, but condition is as new. This does the P thing very well and sounds and plays better than my USA P with a little more variety with the series/parallel switch and a nice growl I assume from the Ash neck. But I'm kind of wed to my Fender... It was a wedding present from my wife after all!!! Price doesn't include shipping, but get in touch and we'll see what we can work out!

    I wish I'd known how much variation there could be in one type of bass and not condemned all P-basses because I'd experienced one sh*tter...

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1507469635' post='3385638'] Not for me. I guess it will depend on your basic tone. [/quote] Also true. It's such a personal thing the perfect envelope filter. Really getting suggestions won't get you very far til you try them!
  23. Bigwan
    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1507411837' post='3385367'] The problem with that one, for me, is that the effect is a lot louder than the input signal. I like it, I owned THREE... but each time I let it go because of the volume issue. [/quote] Absolutely true. But I find that in the mix the volume boost makes the effect more useable. It's one of those effects that makes bass disappear behind everything else.

    I wouldn't take it out on Andertons. The price of the Helix seems to be in a state of flux at the minute! Still sorely tempted by a Helix...
  25. Bigwan
    Damn, I know somebody looking me to build them one!
