[quote name='Dave_the_bass' timestamp='1390175670' post='2342388'] Infinite shape feature is more than a gimmick, it really does help to get anywhere from a traditional British Marshall sound right through to a modern heavy weight distortion. [/quote] Can it do Fender?

[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_nile_rodgers_hitmaker_strato.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...aker_strato.htm[/url] Have you seen how much Fender are asking though? The pricing is consistent with their other signature custom shop models but for me the attraction would be the sound rather than the bragging rights or living some kind of disco fantasy. Hopefully they'll do a MIJ version. The Marcus Miller basses were very popular because they made the right noises and were priced at a level that was accessible for real musicians rather than middle aged mancave heroes.

If the tool was used with a MIDI pickup and convertor, it might result in more consistent tracking.

Next on my GAS list is a Series 2000 5 string....hoping the basschat faeries will make contact...

Lovely find...thanks for sharing

We can't just take your word for it...although the fact that its all acoustic and capable of a strong reaction is interesting in itself. Got any clips?

For the most part they're very solid performers and great value. I don't like gritty amps so they're traditional models aren't to my taste. But the MK head is a bit of a gem and definitely shouldn't be dismissed considering what they go for if/when you find them.

And don't forget the Sunburst Band either. He's the UK's equivalent of Gene Perez after all the work he's done with Joey Negro.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1390257653' post='2343362'] All these are absolute filth! Is that a Kahler on that MSG (my favourite trem)?[/quote] It's Yammie's own take on the Floyd Rose called an RM Pro - standard issues on MSG Deluxes and Customs. I'm struggling to put the thing down to be honest, there are so many nice noises to make out of it. The low output was because I had the humbuckers split. When both humbuckers are on full, its like a very good Les Paul.

[quote name='DaytonaRik' timestamp='1386277069' post='2298266'] My main guitar - Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro Elite. They were always seen as a poor-mans PRS [/quote] Are you kidding me? Have you seen the used prices on Ebay? I don't know of any poor man who could afford one of these, let alone a PRS....

Here's one I picked up today. I'm a bit gushy over it at the moment so will keep the hyperbole under control... [attachment=152856:Yammie MSG.jpg] I love how funky it sounds and how it looks.

Wow...what a treasure trove. I actually tried something like the set up described in the TH2 vid - basically going comp ->vol -> chorus -> split into A/B with A clean and B overdriven. Worked really well and the volume pedal allowed good control of the tone between clean and dirty.

[quote name='randythoades' timestamp='1389782597' post='2337763'] I still prefer the simplicity of the Zoom though. 4 presets, always consistent at any volume you like. So, in a roundabout answer to the question, with any amp or effects unit I now try to find my "signature sound in my head" and just make small adjustments and stick to 3 or 4 similar patches. [/quote] For all the gear Steve Lukather has, he's got pretty much the same four types of patches on all his songs too!

Jon Shuker would be a natural choice but he's in the Peak District.

[quote name='zapp' timestamp='1389640239' post='2336471'] Is it my imagination or did RDJ sound remarkably like Sting?.........overdubs?? Surely not. [/quote] Well, he's singing a Sting song so the melody will be similar (sort of speaky)...and Sting sings in an American accent...in the true British rock n roll tradition... I love the space in Stings songs. He's an amazingly elegant song writer.

Glad it was appreciated.

Perfect transaction with David - great comms, outstanding packing and delivery.

yeah I'd always assumed chorus after distortion, but that TH2 vid does it the other way around. The MPX is a swiss army knife in terms of routing options. It's possible to do stuff with it that makes you wish it was over 16 and came from a liberated family.

Thats probably because people like us talk them up on forums. I've seen prices shoot up on graphite necked Alembics because of forum activity. Having said this, that particular amp is in spectacular condition. There's another for sale at the moment so don't be too disappointed even if its not in the same nick.

Got any pics/vids? I've seen them for sale as well and wondered what the clean sound was like.

I like to dress up like Mark King and slap my Pangborn in front of the mirror. "Lessons in luuuuuurve...[BAD PANGBORN! BAD PANGBORN!] when will we ever learn...ALAN MURPHAY!" Yes, its a real Pangborn - not a special name.

Why do players like P90's? I'm curious and uneducated...

Have you been tempted to refinish it?
