Awesome, looking forward to the new album. Wondering if I should drop £45-60 to see them in December

I went for the Orange TB500 in the end by the way, only had one opportunity to really try it out so far but very happy! Cheers for all the input

Haha, nice! I hope so man, just trying to sort some of the practicalities out.

Hey man, great taste in music! I'm in a band just trying to get off the ground up in Dundee, but we don't have as much of scene for this stuff up here (unless they are well hidden from me). Trying to sort out a trip through to capital city to see Bongripper next week! Anyway, glad to see more doom around, welcome! G

Sold some cables to Laurence - nice guy, fast payment, all good! Cheers!

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1365936506' post='2046109'] here we go - one Rat Tail!!! [/quote] Looks awesome man!

The PF800 is one I am considering too. To be honest I'm leaning back towards the Orange after all this, I think I read a post of yours here Ant that made me consider the Ampeg in the first place. You obviously know what you're doing with dirt! There something about the simplicity of the Orange I like, and a few folk I admire are using them for the kind of music I have in mind, I've tried a few things out with these guys that have all been considered too aggressive so looking for a warm solid bass tone. I'm all about 'set it and forget it' so lack of versatility does not bother me. To be honest I'm sick of thinking about it, need to stop worrying about gear and get back to playing, I'm sure every amp mentioned in this thread would do the job!

[quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1365929413' post='2045980'] As said before, I like to have control over the amount of clean and blend to taste. [/quote] Yeah man, I would too, if I get a fancy custom one (which I would love to do) I'll definitely be getting a clean blend! Better having it that not anyway - you can always set it 100% wet. Meant to say in the last post I've seen them on a few others so he does do them

I've had the Rat Tail, Green Stache and Demon King and haven't found any of them to be lacking low end. That said, I am thinking about ordering a customised Demon King and would probably get a clean blend added just for kicks.

Any thoughts on the Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 for the above?

The knobs fell off!?

[quote name='plunkrock' timestamp='1365751580' post='2043771'] I noticed there's one in the marketplace, veeeeeery tempted... [/quote] Er... No there isn't. Could have swore the ad I was reading on my phone was still available, the search continues!

Cheers for all the ideas guys, I was up late looking at videos etc. and the Genz Benz Streamliner 900 looks/sounds awesome, came across the review on Shep's site so there's a pretty hearty recommendation on it working well with pedals It has the headphone port and aux in as well, which is important the more I think about it, I live in a one bedroom flat with a girlfriend who does not enjoy the same music as me I noticed there's one in the marketplace, veeeeeery tempted...

Ah, cheers, that was one of the main things I was wondering, clean to get the sound of the pedal vs. pushing a preamp tube... I'll have another look at the MarkBass stuff!

I'm looking to put together a rig for a heavy sludge/stoner 3 piece (Torche, Kvelertak, Melvins, etc.), I fancy one of these wee micro jobs but can't settle on which one - unfortunately I don't have anywhere nearby I can give them all a go so have been doing a lot of reading/listening online. What I haven't seen anyone comment on is how well an amp works with dirt pedals, I have a Fuzzrocious Demon King that is on 100% of the time, does anyone have any thoughts on, or experience with one of these micro heads that brings out the best in your pedals? I don't have a whole load of cash so I'll be getting the head just now and plugging in to a cab at the rehearsal place we hire and other people's cabs at gigs (seems to be the done thing around these parts) until I can save up for a Barefaced. A few I am considering: Ampeg PF-500 (headphone port is a big bonus here for practicing at home!), Orange Bass Terror (Guitarist has a Dual Terror and it sounds great), GK MB500/Fusion, Aguilar Tone Hammer. Any comments are appreciated!

Had a band practice last night and it looks like this Grey Stache could become a regular feature at Bass Chat as I've had to put it in the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/204723-sfx-micro-thumpinator-and-fuzzrocious-grey-stache/"]classifieds[/url]! I love it for taking it up to the next level but it didn't go down so well with my mates and after trying a few settings it was obvious it wasn't going to work out. I'd love to keep it but I can't really afford to have it just for noodling around in the house. I have truly sacrificed myself to the Demon King though, I'm flogging all my pedals and rocking the DK and a tuner!
