It's too noisy to use for anything other than practice I reckon. I suggest you look at the Tech 21 VT Bass, if that's too expensive then the Behringer BDI21 is a decent clone of the Sansamp BDDI and is dirt cheap.

I love my 121P, I can only imagine this sounding even better! Will sound better if you put it on the floor though

All looks pukka to me. Has the new style bridge and hard case they introduced in 2008. £500 is a very good price, I paid £520 for a 2005 model a few months ago and I thought I was getting a good deal! The 2008/2009 models are a step up in quality apparently, and have carbon reinforcement inserts in the neck for example to make them stiffer. +1 to the black pickguard, it's the law.

For people playing doom metal and such that want power tube distortion (especially at venues where cranking a 200W tube amp will give the sound man a heart attack), it looks like a good option. Mark Olson over at Talkbass posted some clips of him playing a Precision through an all-tube Orange Tiny Terror (the guitar version) and it sounded great, and loud enough for small gigs according to him. I think it would work well alongside a regular more powerful bass amp if bi-amping with clean/dirty rigs.

Yeah, I emailed them recently for a single low B string that wasn't listed on the site. They gave me a link to order it and it turned up the next day! So check with them if they don't have what you want in stock!

Could be a great recording or practice amp for getting valve distortion at sensible volume levels... although I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't have a gain control.

I would look at the DHA VT1-EQ-Drive: - It has a tube that does a fantastic job of warming up the sound or adding mild grit - It has a DI - It can be used as headphone amp and has an additional line input - It looks like it's covered in blood

Not just that but they also have a theremin with built in delay!!! [url="http://www.hiwatt.com/data/HiwattFX.html"]http://www.hiwatt.com/data/HiwattFX.html[/url]

Check out the new Epiphone Zenith: [url="http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?ProductID=326&CollectionID=12"]http://www.epiphone.com/default.asp?Produc...CollectionID=12[/url] One thing is, I don't think the Ibanez AGB series are proper hollowbodies, they are solid in the middle with small hollow chambers. If you had loads of cash to spare, I'd look at a Gretsch White Falcon! I saw The Dead Weather play earlier this year and Jack Lawrence played one of these:

Ashbory?

I think the latest issue of Bass Player has a review of the 1x12.

I like the Tonefactor 442 Red / Mojo Hand 442 Red / Boomstick Bottom Feeder (all the same pedal, rebranded through the years) which is a DOD 440 clone tweaked for bass. It sounds more like a rock wah than a quacky funky filter.

You should get one of these to go with it:

There's a set up guide on the Fender website somewhere...

I'd love one of these in green:

I've got a couple of recent MIA Fenders and the pole pieces are all level. Even on the replacement pickups they sell. Never seen anything like yours apart from on a Darkstar pickup or a Strat!

I'd love to hear some clips of the full on distortion of this vs the AD140 / AD200.

If it's a passive EQ, I wonder where the flat tone lies? Doesn't setting all knobs at noon usually result in a mid scoop with these EQs?
