Shockwave

Hey guys. So due to lack of activity in my stoner rock band. I have decided to go in a different direction in as far as ampage required. I am looking for a lightweight Combo, Max budget of 4-500 new or secondhand, cheaper the better. Looking for something along the lines of a great burpy tone. ( I could use sooo many subjective terms, I find it difficult to get the idea across, so I will post a video or two.)

I guess what I am saying, is it possible to get an approximation of this sort of tone with lightweight combo class D equipment with the apparent amount of air being shifted?

I work for a school in Chelsea where I could get a decent rate. However parking is limited. Ie no dedicated spaces. Lots of pay and display. Isn't it free on a Sunday usually? I also have contacts in my old school in the southfields/wimbledon area that definitely does have parking. A little cold there though!

There is a lot of high end stuff flooded in a stagnant market. Either the real special pieces sell, or the usual Fender/Musicman combos. The 1977 Precision I have for sale has had a few PMs put in my way, and I could have easily traded out for something by now. But I am waiting for something to catch my eye, or someone to offer a trade with more cash then trade value. Swings and roundabouts. There is not much free cash flying about, so people who do have it are shrewd and buy things that will sell fairly easily.

Just leaving myself

I'll have my rosewood necked 77

Might be good to have a P-bass corner and a couple of amps to test all the various P's in one place? Would be interesting to feel the variations.

Would anyone be ok for me to put my P bass on their display? Managed it for the past few years but I am unable to bring a rig otherwise :/ Would appreciate it muchly!

As someone who has been involved with a lovely Turkish Cypriot lady for a while, this is another small step towards north Cyprus being recognised. ^^

I was at the counter when you tried that I was waiting for my bass to come from upstairs. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1413678562' post='2580906'] Popped into Wunjos before our gig yesterday. Guy in there saw me looking around, asked if he could help. I said I was just browsing as was in the area, playing at The 12 Bar later. So he asked if I wanted to try any basses out. I said I wasn`t buying but he was fine with that, so I tried a Rick 4003 (really nice it was too). So great attitude from Wunjos, and some really nice basses in there. [/quote]

Picking her up today. Can't wait!

I found the pups on mine to be very good. Loads of output and a healthy grind to it if that's your kinda thing. It was a little noisy but not unworkable noisy. [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1413401927' post='2577986'] The build of the Affinity basses is pretty good, I found the electronics to be noticeably noisier and the pickups to be less powerful than the VM basses, but both of those issues can be resolved with a soldering iron and about £80 spent on a decent wiring loom and pickups. However if I was buying blind I would spend the extra on a VM/CV to reduce the likelihood of picking up a dud. [/quote]

Give an Affinity a try in the shop. You might be pleasantly surprised, I abed a bunch of Squier Jazzes a few months and walked away with the Affinity. It blew the others out of the water.
