Which Amp to keep?!? Trickfish Vs Hellborg
attackbass replied to attackbass's topic in Amps and Cabs
Yeah, I would definitely need to wait until that stock has been sold. I think the preamps are gone and maybe some of the poweramps, some seemingly have had dodgy ones that they returned. I still see people trying to sell the stuff for £2000 upwards tho including GAK. I could imagine UAD or Brainworks modelling the Hellborg pre/power amp at some point, I'm sure it'll be a modern classic! -
Which Amp to keep?!? Trickfish Vs Hellborg
attackbass replied to attackbass's topic in Amps and Cabs
Haha thanks! Yeah I'm not desperate for the money and I'd prob be losing money if I did sell either now. Then again as a full time musician it's nice to have as much money in the bank as possible! Haha I might gig the Trickfish for a bit and see how that goes and mix it up a bit and see what really works best! -
Anyone ever had a similar problem?! After unsuccessfully trying to sell my Trickfish rig I decided to plug in yesterday and remembered how great it sounded. Very warm, deep and tight and worked really well with the darkglass vintage ultra. This was followed by plugging in my Hellborg rig, switching between Hellborg and Trickfish cabs and i eventually came to the conclusion I love both. I love the warmth and punch of the Trickfish but love the clarity and slight compression of the Hellborg. I love the differences between the 2x10 Trickfish and 1x15 Hellborg CC and LC cabs. They both equally look cool. I think what I really love about the Hellborg is the Poweramp and the cabs, the preamp is very nice but maybe too clear and precise for comfort. Which makes me think maybe sell the Hellborg pre and a cab and keep the power amp and one cab for a cool practice rig and keep the trickfish for lugging about rehearsals and gigs. I would say usually this a nice problem to have but the space it's all taking up in my room is insane and the daily anxiety of selling one of them and then later regretting it, especially in the case of the Hellborg as it's no longer in production. I miss the days where I had an ampeg and that was fine. Haha.

Is this the weakest line up ever for Glastonbury?
attackbass replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Played that twice years ago now, when it was called wasted once at Blackpool winter gardens and a second time at Morecambe.. My overall memory of it was seeing oi punks littering the streets passed out, standing behind ex footballer Stuart Pearce as he entered the venue and then playing a set where we had quite a lot of cans thrown at us.... We were a punk/hardcore/funk band and by that stage had all started to wear all white on stage. Was a fun gig, you should have a great time! -

Letting this killer preamp go! In excellent condition, including original tech 21 pedal supply and Tin etc Amazing sounding versatile preamp! Does the Dug Pinnick sound but can be dialed back to create some of your own sounds. The bonus of it having two channels is that you can also get a warm punchy clean channel too. Also features a tuner, compressor and a headphone amp/socket for silent practicing. I've recently been just turning up to gigs with this and plugging straight into whatever backline via the effects return and it really does work well in those situations and received comments from other bands about the sound. Don't really want to sell it but another purchase means it's up for sale! £200 delivered or picked up

*** OFFERING THE COMPLETE RIG FOR £1050 - RIG CONSISTS OF THE BULLEAD .5K AMP AND THE TRICKFISH 210V CAB - This will need to be picked up from south wales or surrounding area - could meet potentially somewhere if coming from further a field **** link to the ad for the cab is here - Trickfish Bullhead .5K amplifier for sale. This is a very stylish and seriously nice sounding bass amplifier. Featuring a Michael Pope designed preamp and EQ section mated with a great sounding Class D power section, this amp is very light and portable whilst still very loud and punchy at 500watts. The EQ is very musical and set flat the amp has a natural warmth, with a thick low end and smooth high end tone. The DI is very high quality and is also very smooth and not harsh at all. I spoke to the late Richard Ruse about this and he told me they use the highest possible components possible throughout the amp. Other features include a mute switch, hi/lo input switch, aux in, headphone socket and FX loop. Amp is in good condition and has been racked in a flightcase for most of the period I have owned it. There's a slight scratch/dent on the top edge. This isn't viewable once racked due to the nature of the amp sitting back in rack with the rack ears attached. There's two spots where the case has rubbed against something in the flightcase and a bit of paint has slightly worn away. Doesn't effect the amp at all and is in full working order. Includes manual, rack ear kit and original box, so can courier it within UK. Reason for sale is my small studio room in my house is starting to look a bit like a bass store and it's stressing me out!! I am also selling the Trickfish 210v cab which obviously matches well with this amp! £600 plus courier costs within UK or collection from Cardiff or surrounding area. £600 delivered fully insured by courier. Or local collection and will negotiate on price. Thanks Thanks for viewing.

I do a lot of fucntion gigs and I have gone down this road of buying pedals to recreate sounds, help fill out the sound when a client doesn't book a full lineup. I eventually played one gig with no effects, just a tuner. Did not miss the effects at all, in fact it was much more fun solely concentrating on playing bass and enhancing the songs musicially. Haven't looked back since doing it. For me , effects are more usefull in a creative situation where I am writing/performing original material... or if you REALLY need to have that sound. Also, I found the temptation to go full on Tim Lefebvre in Uptown Funk or great... and rightly got some looks! haha

Recently sold Tony an amp on basschat. A very understanding and helpful guy as the amp arrived not working as it should. He was very nice about it where many maybe wouldn't have been and checked the amp inside for any damage and also gave it 24 hours to check it hadn't just gone into protection mode. He returned the amp promptly when we agreed the issue wasn't fixable and I refunded him, and did a very good packing job too... Took a while to open it again. Despite the obvious problem with the amp, he did not doubt me that the amp was working when it left me and we resolved the issue together and would happily sell to him again. The amp is now with a tech hopefully getting fixed!

FGN Fujigen Mighty Jazz Private Reserve Bass
attackbass replied to attackbass's topic in Basses For Sale
Hey @Marcoelwray I really haven't played any jazz basses that aren't fenders apart from the FGN. None that were memorable anyway. Compared to my US Fender 75 Reissue the FGN has as similar sort of vintage tone but more solid and modern in terms of having a lot more low end and high end, increased sustain and just more responsive to your playing. It's probably a more comfortable instrument to play and sounds like a bigger fatter, vintage Jazz bass. I've read people comparing them to sadowsky but I can't comment having never played one. The fit, quality of build, components and finish is amazing. There is a video on YouTube of session bassist Garth Fielding playing and raving about the basses. My brother in law has a 2000s jazz us standard and it blows that away. For a huge rock tone, they sounded incredible through my old orange 8x10 and ad200b compared to my jazz, my neo classic fgn jazz or lakland p bass. We used to play a lot of 500-1000+ venues in Europe and it just sounded thunderous. Huge punch and attack, and I think the frequency range of the bass was just bigger if that can be a thing, that's what it felt like anyway. -
