Not my cup of tea either, but still impressive - I bet Jaco and Victor Wooten weren't as good as that at his age!

Must be a mistake, they are £1799 on their website! [url="http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/ampeg-svt-vr-bass-guitar-amp-head.html"]http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/ampeg-svt-vr-...r-amp-head.html[/url]

Maybe they priced them up wrong? Cheapest I can see online is £1441! I have a mind to buy all their stock and resell them on eBay!

You need to read this site mate, loads of compressor reviews written by Talkbasser Bongomania: [url="http://www.ovnilab.com"]http://www.ovnilab.com[/url]

The VT is great for that clanky grindy Ampeg tone that sounds great with a pick. The Catalinbread SFT is my pick for a more furry-vintage-fingerstyle-B15-Motown-era sound.

One thing to remember is that the AD200 is not flat with the knobs at noon - sounds best to me with treble at 10 o'clock, mids at 12, and bass at 2 o'clock.

Get the Behringer BDI21 as a backup!

Iron Ether Oxide?

Just emailed Ashdown to see if there are any differences between the LB-212 and VS-212 apart from impedance, they confirmed they are the same The Little Bastard with a pair of VS-212 would make for a monster 4x12 vertical stack alright!

It's only just come out, but there some very positive reviews on Talkbass. It has all the controls and metering of a rack compressor too!

I found the Fender 5's too wide at the nut, but the Yamaha BB415 suits me perfectly. Try another bass!

I pair mine with a Matamp 2x12, sounds great and its the perfect size for the head. Doesn't handle the deep lows of a 5 string as well as the Orange ported cabs though.

I like the look of that MC6, it can go in the fx loop and sit on top of most micro heads without needing a rack!

I might experiment with compression again... this video of the new MXR Bass Compressor shows a clear improvement in the fingerstyle sound:

Drape some fur over it and disguise it as a dog?

I've been listening to and playing mainly rock, grunge, stoner and doom metal, but now I am hooked on playing along to old funk and motown on my P-Bass! Jamerson has become my favourite bassist.

[quote name='Jerry_B' post='1315746' date='Jul 25 2011, 02:07 PM']After alot of trying and testing (not a cheap experiment!), I've found that lower guage LaBellas do the job for me. They don't go dead as quickly as alot of others (Status, for example) too.[/quote] I've just put some LaBellas on my P, don't like the sound right now, can't wait for them to go dead! TI's are my favourite at the though.

As low as you can get from a standard Levy's strap for me. But not as low as Rob Trujilo:

I've got an RBX270 that I've gigged with plenty of times, it's actually a bloody good bass! Don't worry 'bout a 'ting.

Dunlop nickels are my fave roundwound nowadays, much cheaper than DRs too!
