I've run two combos at gigs. Works well and leaves lots of room for really full tones with the added plus of being able to add effects or distortion where they'll be heard and not mess up a clean low end. The sound men that i've used a bi amp rig with didn't really mind as we only had one guitarist at the time

£500 would get you a good quality copy that is easier on the wallet when it gets stolen or scratched and can be made to not only look the same but sound it as with a lot of MIJ copies

It's the headstock shape and truss rod cover shape that are trade marked but also any reference to Rickenbacker at all isn't allowed. I've been looking at putting my Ibanez back up just as a '74 Ibanez with only body shots

Ad pulled from gumtree again. Music Radar ad pulled and banned me for life, bit extreme

I already had the first ad pulled, which oddly appeared on a gumtree ad on facebook but my current one hasn't got the R word anywhere. Looking at pictures of 60's models mine has all the same details like the binding, fret marker material and thumb rest but high gain 70s pickups which oddly enough have a fuller tone which for a copy is very odd.

I think it's modeled after a 60's model because of the thumb rest

Just the one truss rod, i can send you some detailed pictures with all the bits that would get the ad pulled

Just had my faker ad pulled by gumtree

I might be looking at selling my faker in a few weeks depending on something white and or 70's coming up

I'm all for DI and or preamp as it works for everything but given the number of modeling amps coming onto the market it seems strange that no one is using them in the bass world. Can't really say i'm a fan of modeling myself but it has started to be used by a lot more people.

I went to a gig last night, the venue must have been about 1500 people max. After watching the main support play with a very nice looking backline of white EVH stacks and SWR 8x10s the roadies removed it all and didn't replace it with anything. I'm guessing the headliners were using either amps mic'ed backstage or something like Fractal Audio Axe-Fx with in ears. More and more touring guitarist seem to be switching over to Fractals or version of because of the ability to sound the same from gig to gig, the bass player from Meshuggah uses a Fractal but do any others use similar devices? and if so which ones? Line 6 did bass modeling amps but have discontinued them i'm guessing through poor sales.

thats lovely, who made that?
