I had a 215B many years ago and wish I'd never sold it - best cab I've ever owned - loud and even response. Just about one man liftable, castors on the side and easy to use as a trolley for the rest of your rig. Fitted in the back of me old Metro too.

The Geddy Lee honks, especially with Wizard 84's in it. Try looking for a Jazz with the bridge pup closer to the bridge (early-mid 70's stylie IIRC...)

Me ABM 2x10 combo & it's mate the 2x10 cab sound just chipper, but are at the limit of knackered back solo portability. If I gigged more and could justify it, I'd be waiting for a Shuttle 6 and a couple of Neo 12's like everyone else. Unless I had a roadie to do it all for me of course....

Boss TU-2 does C# fine. The new [url="http://www.korg.co.uk/products/tuners/pitchblack/tu_pb.asp"]Korg[/url] might be worth a look too... It's black, see.

I'm in for the 7 too. Hippy customer service is spot on - they sent me a 1/16" allen key and a couple of grub screws gratis after I'd foolishly believed the sizing on me B&Q allen key and successfully rounded the grub screw on me BT-2.

Try [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20920&hl=microbass"]here[/url], [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=12800&hl=microbass"]here[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=19420&hl=microbass"]here[/url]. IMO EBS MicroBass II is best, SansAmp ParaDriver 2nd best, but I've not played with the MXR. Good luck!

Bookmarked that little fella. In the folder right at the bottom of my 'Favourites' menu, where the wife doesn't look. EDIT: 'Join Now' - that another few quid of me GAS fund down the drain.... :brow:

[quote name='The Funk' post='221071' date='Jun 18 2008, 03:53 AM']Just come up with the main groove/riff, the other groove/riff, a bridge and a vocal line.[/quote] Just?

Gorgeous. NOT!

+loads - woolly schmoolly! [quote name='Muppet' post='220046' date='Jun 16 2008, 05:16 PM']The first was JJ Burnel's rig that was made up of four ABM 4x10s and two what seemed to resemble the Mark King Ashdown Labs heads but in black, not sure what these were.[/quote] They could well have been the Mark King Ashdown Labs heads but in black - see [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/press/releases/jj/ASHLABSJJPR.doc"]here[/url]. But what's he using for OD?

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='219891' date='Jun 16 2008, 02:39 PM']still gassing for bfm onmi 10 though or the tall boy 12. [/quote] Ain't that the truth, this country needs a BFM builder. If I had time / ability / workshop / any more GAS leeway with Mrs Lager that i haven't already used up, I would!

[quote name='lowhand_mike' post='219869' date='Jun 16 2008, 02:22 PM']...like turning my combo on its side so the 10's are vertically stacked. i will also be buying another 2x10 cab to complement it.[/quote] Don't buy an ABM cab if your gonna do this Mike, the 'ergonomic' design of the handles makes it a little wobbly as my foot will testify.

[quote name='bottomfeed' post='219841' date='Jun 16 2008, 01:53 PM']Looking forward to that!.... Mr Rock 'n' f***ing Roll! What Lemmy did on the Hawkwind album, 'Space Ritual' made me wanna start playing![/quote] Totally. Lot of Jazz bass on the early Hawkwind stuff, apparently...

Stunning mate.
