[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1384011380' post='2271896'] BTW I dunno if youve managed to source a compact already but I'm look to sell one (have 3 of them currently and cant really justify keeping them all ...), I see your in the bristol area and my missus lives there could arrange a hand over in person. [/quote] Got one thanks

Sorted, I went with the general consensus. Barefaced compact and a GB Streamliner 600. I'm let you know if I'm blown away buy it once I get it all up and running. Now I need to find a way to replenish by bank account

[quote name='HazBeen' timestamp='1383837264' post='2269806'] My 2 pennies, buy a better cab first. Save a bit more and then buy a good D Class head (nice and light) [/quote] Thanks advice taken

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1383829369' post='2269648'] I may be open to trades... [/quote] Cool Conan, we can chat later on to see if I have stuff you may be interested in. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1383831678' post='2269702'] Your amp will sound OK with a better cab, so if your budget is limited I'd keep the amp a little longer and get a modern cab. [/quote] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]I like my Ashdown fine so will be hanging on to it. The reason I'm looking is that I have a little orange 50b combo at home that doesn't seem to like EMG powered guitars. I was going to upgrade it and then thought "why not upgrade my main kit instead and move the Ashdown into the house?".

Thanks for all the advice. That's what I was after and its always good when it points in a general direction. I would love to go the Barefaced/Streamliner route as suggested but in reality its too much of a financial stretch. After doing more research I'm pretty sold on the GB Streamliners. I'm not big on over-complicating things so it looks just the job The only affordable option at the moment looks something like the Streamliner 600 and a FCS115T cab. Either that or I'm no going to get a usable system, I'm assuming that my Ashdown cab isn't going to cope see link [url="http://www.musicstreet.co.uk/ashdown-deep-bass-cabinet-p-4099.html?gclid=CIfJ44HZ0roCFafMtAodxnUAKw"]http://www.musicstreet.co.uk/ashdown-deep-bass-cabinet-p-4099.html?gclid=CIfJ44HZ0roCFafMtAodxnUAKw[/url] I wasn't actually planning on buying just yet..but there you go

Did you get it....unbelievable bargain -
Hi, I know very little about bass amps etc. so a couple of years ago came on here for advice for low budget options and ended up with an Asdown 300 EVOii and 15" Ashown cab. I like this very much but as I have spent quite a bit of time upgrading my other gear I have been wondering if I could do better. The big issues for me are: 1. Weight-I have dodgy shoulders so the separate Ashdown amp and cab option works for me. I would consider a combo if it was light 2. Sound-well I'm in a heavy band playing EMG loaded basses for much of the time so need tone, power and clarity 3. Price-well although I don't want to spend much but its not an urgent purchase so I could save up up if I think its worth it. I'm also happy to by 2nd hand and mix and match. I haven't been able to try many amps out yet. I have tried and Ashdown Spyder? and Ampeg combo, Markbass combo and thats about it. The spyder and Markbass were hitting the spot. Any advice of where to look next would be appreciated.

How heavy are these beasties?

[quote name='rushbo' timestamp='1382902688' post='2257851'] What a massive influence on so many artists, from Bowie to REM and beyond. Here's my favourite Lou solo tune from a fantastic period of his career where he worked with the late, brilliant Robert Quine, Fred Maher and the amazing Fernando Saunders on Bass [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpUuWYrv1cQ[/media] [/quote] He favoured great bass players and lines in his work. I guess it fitted with his driving drum beats and minimalist guitar. It was his energy, personality and song writing skills that made him so influential, all backed by a good musical ear and distinctive vocals.

[quote name='Bassdude BE' timestamp='1382803306' post='2256756'] Love this! If this is still around when my Farida Jazz sells i'm definitely intrested. just don't understand why everybody puts those useless, ugly '51 style thumbrests on their P-basses... [/quote] Hmm judging from your picture you need a breast rest on the back of your guitar -
A lil bump from me to me! I'm playing this one all the time as it sits next to my PC, its a great recording instrument. -
Yaay its the weekend bump

No one out there with a partner that needs a megaphone effect?

These are great basses. I like them so much that I have three This one was bought from here. I originally got it to try out the pups and then bought another. I love the sound both active and passive but three similar basses seems a bit excessive and I prefer my blue colouor to the black one. This one plays really nicely and sounds awsome. It is very powerful thanks to the awesome EMG's and 3 band electronics. The bass has issues as someone has clattered the control knobs against something, which has resulted in a lacquer cracks around the tone knobs. This didn't really show up in the pics or from a distance but they are prominent close up. Another problem was highlighted when I bought the guitar, as two of the machine head blades could touch each other. That is because two had been replaced in the past and although they look the same they are a fraction bigger than the rest. Swapping them around has cured that problem so its no longer an issue. So there you have it, an extremely sweet sounding and powerful bass, with quality componants, build and an ebony fretbourd for a bargain price. There are still a few of these going new for the £650+ mark new so £200 sounds like a lot of bass for the money.

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1381778746' post='2243701'] How's about an Alien acoustic? Real one, not a Rockbass. [/quote] Nice offer but don't think I'd play that either so its a no I'm afraid.

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1381769212' post='2243441'] So it's OK to pay someone to professionally relic a bass, but sacrilege to let your mates do it? [/quote] Certainly not! OK I have one but I just bought it to rescue it from further abuse.
