    [quote name='Jimbogubson' timestamp='1459285429' post='3015205'] I'm onto that already! Cheers for the heads up. [/quote] No worries - theres quite a difference in sound between the 2eq and 3eq models. You can sort of get a 3eq sound out of a 2eq but not the other way around. In one of those links above theres a comment linking to a rosewood versus maple neck sound test that Lozz did a while back - if you look closely you'll see that its actually a 2eq versus 3eq test too and shows the difference in sound off quite well. i think the difference is much less to do with the neck and more to do with the eq. If you're local you're welcome to come and have a tinkle with mine :-)

    I would grab a second hand bargain from the classifieds on here This is one is a bargain - (nothing to do with me i might add) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/274868-gallien-krueger-1001rb-neo-2x12-combo-1x15-neo-ext-cab-price-drop-l575/

    I am usually a stainless guy with the occasional foray into nickel territory. Usually i will kill a set of nickels in a couple of gigs, rarely getting more than a month out of them as i like a bit of zing and usually play pretty sweaty gigs. My usual routine is 3 gigs and then a quick dunk in meths for a couple of hours - that normally gets another 2/3 gigs out of whatever strings i have. My current fave strings are dunlop Super Bright SS or EB Cobalt rounds when i am feeling a bit minted. These NYXL strings are now nearly 2 months in with 6 gigs under their belt and they still sound great - thats unheard of with me and especially nickels!!!!! They sounded great from the start on my Stingray - i thought they were pretty zingy (contrary to what others have said on here) and had a really nice fat sounding mid/low mid and its hardly diminished at all over 2 months. Nice smooth feel and noticeably slippier feeling than SS strings. Really impressed so far but not sure i would pay £35+ for them - thats 2 packs of Super Brights - £22/25 maybe but no more.

    Thats a lovely SB14 you have there.......

    In my opinion Sandbergs are very well made and even the "budget" end will outperform most others at the same price points. I've played a few Electras and they are fantastic basses with a good consistency of build and sound - with Fenders, its a bit hit or miss whether you'll get a good one or not. The Electra has a lovely natural wiry zing to the sound but you can dial it out easily if you want old school thud. The necks are awesome too. Well worth a punt and you won't lose much if you decide to flip it later

    Bass GAS has disappeared over the last 6 months or so since i discovered Stingrays. Partly i suspect because i have tried most on my hit list over the last 5 years since my return to playing and to have been fortunate enough to be able to afford to pick something up if it really appeals and flip it if i find something i prefer later. I have been through 3 Spectors, a Fender Blacktop Jazz, a Yamaha BB and just have a mild hankering for a Warwick but my current Stingrays and a Sandberg seem to have sorted me out to the point of not bothering to really look anymore. Cab GAS is cured with a couple of Barefaced and amps sorted by GK and hopefully my new Ashdown Evo iv head. Life will be boring now...........

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1459016556' post='3012929'] I didn't read it properly, I had the Shuttle 6 and not the max. [/quote] Pay attention at the back there.........

    [quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1459011962' post='3012867'] As the OP is talking about a max series head it has two channels unlike the 9.2 or 6.0. [/quote] and that would be why i said "Almost....."
  13. Mudpup
    Bump........
  14. Mudpup
    Almost.......... I have a Gen 3 Big Baby 2 currently and used to use a Genz Shuttle 9.2. and am also selling a MB Fusion! Also using Stingrays so its a pretty relevant comparison.......... Bought the Fusion to replace the Genz as i found the Genz a bit sterile sounding. The Fusion was much more to my taste and has a lot more headroom - the Genz began to run out of steam and the Gallien just has much more grunt about it. Its also a lot more flexible tonewise - use channel B to thicken up the sound and channel A for a more modern clean sound - clearer but not brittle really. PM me if you need more detailed info or are interested in buying the Fusion - its in the classifieds now

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1458859220' post='3011717'] If you're thinking of an Ashdown (which I was too) don't rule out a Mesa Carbine amp. Got myself an M6. Wow! [/quote] I can get 3 amps for the price of a Mesa!!!!!

    Overload light?????????????

    I use a Zoom MS60B - theres a bunch of good modulation effects on there

    Had a play on one of these QT600 heads today in the local shop. They have a second hand one in there but its a bit rich... Thinking about picking up a backup for my Gallien head and it sounded quite nice at shop volume. There's not much info about on these and i wondered if anyone has any gigging experience with them? Looking for a slammy punchy rock sound with some guts - something you can feel as much as hear - and its hard to tell at lower volumes whether it will work for me. The shop wont let me demo it for 24hrs and i'm not prepared to take it blind. Anyone had one?

    [quote name='intime-nick' timestamp='1458064508' post='3004372'] thanks for all the replies - much appreciated. For those with 2x BB2's - do you stack them vertically or horizontally ? [/quote] Vertically........
  24. Mudpup
    I play in a loud twin guitar rock band and use 2 x Big Baby 2 Gen 3 cabs. If it's a gig with noise limiters then I can get away with just the one cab and angle it up a bit but for most gigs (medium/large pubs and clubs not using pa support) I use both. Oh and a 500w ish amp. So I would either go for the bigger cab or ideally save up for the second BB2 to get a modular system.
