    After advice on this forum I got a Mag Evo2 and a separate 115T cab and am happy with it. They are solid and yet not to heavy to move around and they give a nice sound. I also like the amp adjustments. Simple and effective EQ control.

    Thanks Paul very generous indeed!

    Bumpity bump!

    Very nice! and if the pickups sound anything like the jazz on my XB your in for a treat. It has its own distinctive but very usable sound. I hope that we'll get a review?

    [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1351192979' post='1848591'] As Pinball mentioned, I'll be coming along to this. If anyone fancies a go on anything in my signature, let me know and I'll make sure I'll bring it. If you're interested in buying either of my Bass Collections or my Dean, let me know too! [/quote] Well I always like the sound of your amp and Overwater

    Anyone going that would be interested in stuff for sale as I could being along? [b]Aluminium Warwick bass case[/b] for £50? No keys unfortunately-I have too many cases. I think its Rockbass from memory. Original [b]SandsAmp[/b]-not mine but the guy wants £100 for it. A old P[b]eavy 15" BW cab[/b] that weighs a ton. £30 My [b]Crafter acoustic bass[/b] thats for sale on here £250 ono. Once I restring it with nylons I'll be taking it to work to play at lunch times and removing it from the for sale section. I'll probably bring my Sandberg or Crafter along as I don't have many pedals. Could bring the Carvin but I have the action set high as I like it that way.

    Well it is a very pretty bass so it it plays as good as it looks you should be happy

    Thanks, I inherited those on my fretless bass and like them a lot. I'll be sticking with them on that.

    Hi, a bit of a strange one this. I traded this with Mauro quite recently. I wanted it for a music project that didn't happen. [i]Note: Mauro also bought it for a project that failed to happen. Obviously a lucky bass![/i] Still it is a nice playing instrument in "as new" condition. Not only that but it is a stunningly beautiful piece of kit. Unfortunately I don't have much time and can't see me ever having time to use it. I mainly play 4 stringers and could use a back up so if you have something to trade-either a similar quality electro/acoustic lead guitar or an electric bass fretted or fretless. It gets good user reviews on line so a bargain I think.

    [quote name='fretlessguy' timestamp='1351368243' post='1850644'] As far as ABGs go, I cannot tolerate the bright phosphor strings. Too much finger noise and way too twangy. I prefer light gauge flats or tapewounds for less stress on the soundboard. Be sure, especially with the tapes, that they can fit through the bridge if that is how they are installed on your bass. The acoustic basses with the big bridge pins are not usually a problem for thick tapewounds, but you might need to enlarge the slots in the nut. My current acoustic bass is a Carvin AC40 fretless with Fender tapes. Sounds wonderful. [/quote] Good advice I hadn't thought about strings fitting an acoustic style bridge. Nice guitar you have there. I have only ever seen it in pictures.

    I saw them two weekends in a row at Knebworth in "79", to he honest I wasn't that into them. Punk was fresh and made them seem outdated then and I was more interested in like Led Zeppelin. Those were the days!

    Sounds like "Rabbit" to me!

    Are they really children? Its too mechanical for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSedE5sU3uc&feature=endscreen

    [quote name='Angel' timestamp='1351280685' post='1849761'] I REALLY don't like the scratchplates, but it looks brilliant without them! lovely bass [/quote] +! and a very useful pickup combo. I would have been after this if I didn't have a Sandberg in the pipeline already.

    I think they sound great but I have had a Schecter, 3 Spectors and a Dean with active EMG's and would swear that they sounded pretty similar. I would have imagined that the guitar construction/make would have made them sound more different but there you go! Two had brass nuts which made them sing a bit differently but not much. You live and learn.

    Thanks, Re: Volume? There seems to consensus that acoustics need a boost!

    I love the sound from these basses, I played a new one a few times and it hits the spot for me-no space though. Good luck with the sale!
  21. Pinball
    Great looking bass, good luck with your sale
  22. Pinball
    Interesting Crafter comments.. Mine is a great looking 5 string that plays well. Maybe I got lucky. There is another thread on the go that also highlights the problems people have getting acoustic basses to cut through the mix without amplification. Horses for courses!

    [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1350942192' post='1845498'] I do love the feel of that Ed, nice track. Your link's broken so here's the right one: [url="http://soundcloud.com/mole-music-1/supersonic"]http://soundcloud.co...ic-1/supersonic[/url] [/quote] Thinks for sorting me out and for the comments.

    ooh here you go, a bit minimalist as its me, a bass guitar and a box of slug pellets! [url="http://soundcloud.com/you/tracks?q=supersonic"]http://soundcloud.co...ks?q=supersonic[/url]

    Congratulations on your new bass! Yep they got it right with the Standards.I was avoiding the P basses until I picked an oldie up 2nd hand recently and I now love it. I imagined I needrd more pickup and sound options but in practice it makes the sounds I want. The same applies to the new ones as recently I found myself comparing everything in a shop to the Fender Standards. Why because they hit the spot for me!
