My MIM Roger Waters Is an absolute peach. Very well put together.

Serious GAS for one of these, glad it got to you unharmed.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1431335275' post='2770012'] Exactly! Horses for courses. [/quote] Yup

After owning a Berg AE212 for a while, I switched to a Gen 2 Compact and Midget on a bit of a whim, and did not regret it one bit.

Thanks for the review, looking forward to hearing this when you are out next with it.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1430585015' post='2762895'] Thanks Raggy, much appreciated, the Hot Rod Thumper I had was almost there, but I think I`ve now found the solution - in buying another bass. There`s a Lakland Bob Glaub on here, ash-bodied, maple neck, Lindy Fralin pickups and from reviews/comments on Talkbass it seems this will do what I want. I just have to get used to a bass without "Fender" on the headstock - it may be traumatic, but I`m sure I`ll overcome it. [/quote] No problem Lozz, sounds like the Lakland will do the job I know where you're coming from re the Fender logo, took me a few gigs to get used to it

I've got a Wizard Thumper Plus in my Frankenstein P you can certainly try if you wish. I'm about to swap the neck and hardware on the bass, so it will be sat round for a while. I have a standard Thumper in my Jap 70's P and asked Andy for something the same with a bit more Grrrrr, and he said "I'll make you a Thumper Plus". It's difficult to describe the sound as it is in a fretless bass at the mo, but it seems to have a bit of poke about it.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1430209720' post='2758848'] As with most things it's a matter of moderation. I usually get a pint in after setting up and that lasts until the end of the first set. I tend to go for weaker strength beers when I'm playing anyway (under 4% usually) and maybe a half in the second set, so over the time I'm at the pub 1 to 2 pints by the time I'm cleared away isn't going to affect my playing nor trouble the breathaliser. [/quote] Same here.

A ported 6x12?

If I ever use a Jazz bass, always run the neck pickup on full and turn the bridge pickup off, both pickups on full sounds hollow and scooped to my ears. But I do love a P Bass

Lovely looking piece of kit there

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1429201042' post='2749178'] Sounds lush. That's quite a dark green though, isn't it? Should work well. [/quote] That has kind of put me off my morning crumpet!!! :/

I like them and fit them to most of my P basses, I play like a thug and they are much stronger than a BBOT, but do not feel they improve tone or sustain (whatever sustain is )

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1429037532' post='2747310'] Unfortunately it's had to go back for a repair, as the power now stay permanently 'on' regardless of the position of the mains switch! Outside of the house I have only used it on one rehearsal, so not enough imo to allow for a comprehensive NAD thread... [/quote] That sucks, hope it gets back quickly.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1428960690' post='2746530'] I have to say the TH500 stood up very well against the Demeter Minnie 800 head on my recent purchasing visit to Bassgear. It also has stuff the Demeter doesn't, like a drive control. [/quote] Speaking of which, when can I hear this Demeter in Swindon, any gigs lined up? I am intrigued

That Sir, is a beauty You've got me thinking about one now!!! (And that's coming from someone who only likes black and maple Precision basses)

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428489323' post='2741689'] so I'm going to stand over here in the corner with a lampshade on my head. [/quote] Normal Wednesday for you then??

[quote name='nickademus' timestamp='1426194836' post='2715617'] If the Big One has an Eminence 3015LF in it then that is causing the problem. I have a similar cab (fEARful 15/6) which has that driver in it and it distorts with all three of my 500w Mark Bass amps (LM11, F1, F500) but not with my Hartke ah3500. Hope this helps [/quote] Cant see it being that really, not having these issues with either a Dubster or a Fearless 15/6 with a LM3.

Love these amps, beautiful tone, just not enough clean power for me.

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1424687016' post='2699063'] I only have one cab so I can only run it bridged I believe. [/quote] In not sure thats the case, check the manual and the back of the amp, the loads are on there.

Not had a problem with mine running bridged. Have you tried it in dual mono to see if one of the power amps is at fault?
