SOLD - Carvin RL210-T 2x10 cab
molan replied to Can'tthinkofausername's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I know someone who's after one of these - I'll let him know -
Very nice indeed Definitely a great guy to deal with too!
-
I saw a few of these at MusikMesse - they really stood out on the Marleaux stand. Looked very cool
-
The soul / jazz / funk cruises have been going for over 10 years - some pretty good people on these. Marcus Miller and George Duke areregulars, also this year there's Tower of Power, David Sanborn, Oleta Adams, Earth Wind & Fire, candy Dulfer, Gladys Knight, The Whispers, Sheila E, Ohio Players, Billy Paul, etc. etc

On the Fender front - I heard a dealer near me placed an order for no less than 6 new Custom Shop basses at the show. . .
-
This was the highlight for me - absolutely stunning in the flesh! So much so that I had it on 'reserve' for 24 hours but then decided I really needed a fretted one: http://www.ritter-basses.com/instruments/2012/1246-5.jpg

It's rising. . .

Depends which ones. There are some ok quality Fenders but there are also some really nasty cheap ones

[quote name='james' timestamp='1365486300' post='2040119'] Sounds like Paul Turners don't suppose you know how much it will cost? [/quote] Don't have a price on this yet [quote name='dafonky' timestamp='1366129597' post='2048742'] Ok I would like to have an LM 4-string, ASH, but with a Rosewood neck instead of the maple neck ..... did you ever see such an AC bass ? I would trade for sth else or pay cash for a second hand one..... [/quote] Jimmy will make an LM bass with a rosewood board but I've never seen one. Everyone seems to go for the 'snap' of ash / maple on the LM series.

Really good heads. Well made, reliable and, for me, a great all round tone. Pretty adaptable too and work well with quite a few different cabs
-
I've been to the factory where these are made - small production batches, lots of handcrafting. Everything I saw was seriously nice
-
B-15 sound but louder, lighter and hopefully a little bit cheaper
molan replied to matybigfro's topic in Amps and Cabs
I use a B15'at home and have an Aguilar TH500 for live use. It's obviously not the same but it's the closest I've found so far. -
High end cab owners, your assistance please.

Coming to a dealer for a straight in-store head to head soon: Bergantino CN112 Bergantino CN212 Bergantino HD112 Bergantino AE210 Aguilar SL112 Aguilar DB112 Aguilar DB212 Aguilar DB210 Vanderkley 112MT MarkBass 121H MarkBass 102P Bag End D12D ATS C312X1 ATS C310X1 ATS UL210C Now that could be a fun afternoon running a string of different 10's and 12's all in one place! - hope the orders and sales don't overlap and that they all arrive for a full on session at more or less the same time! -
They aren't released yet but the new Aggie P looks cool http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_pickups_AG4PHOT.htm I have their mid 60's P pickup and really like it. They seem to be really going after the pickup market now and every one of their pickups seems to get really good reviews

I have to admit that I tried a Streamliner but couldn't get on with it at all. Sounded boomy and mushy to me and not at all like a classic vintage tube head (which was vaguely what I was expecting). I'd certainly give one another go with a different cab set up though to see if it was an issue with the Genz cabs. However, I'm not sure i could ever trust a GK head as a regular gigging tool. Just too many stories of their heads having quality control issues. I have a feeling it's the Shuttles rather than the Streamliners but it's certainly enough to put me off owning one

Silver or black face?
-
I'm guessing this isn't currently residing in the UK? Is fully insured shipping included in the price? -
Where is your gig - might be someone here that could loan you a higher spec rig for the night?

I have to admit I'd never really considered a BB until quite recently but the shop I help out at 1 or 2 days a week has a pair in at the moment, a 2024 and a 2025 and I've been really impressed with them. I'm mostly a 4 string player and keep going back to the white 2024 for a quick play whenever I get a spare 5 minutes. I've tried it through a few different rigs and it seems to work well with both more traditional sounding heads and cabs and some of the real high end, ultra transparent, setups. I reckon it would be a great gigging bass

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1365836918' post='2045010'] Fair comment. It is a bit lazy not to look at a fingerboard and decide for yourself BUT saying that I'm not doing it commercially (contrary to indicators ) and I'm sure they have more pressing matters than to check detail that customers give them. [/quote] Funnily enough the "is it rosewood or ebony" debate comes up surprisingly often. There's a luthier out there that uses, as standard, an ebony that's very brown and looks just like rosewood. It sounds great but many players don't want a brown ebony so he has to offer either a more traditional black ebony or he has to artifially tint his brown ebony to look black. Conversely I also regularly see super dark rosewood that looks like a lovely piece of ebony Either way - I'll make sure that people don't take stuff as described by the owner or at face value whenever possible

[quote name='groovygibbo' timestamp='1344344322' post='1763068'] It is a faded autograph by TM Stevens, he's such a nice guy! [/quote] I'll second that - one of the most open and friendly pro-players I've met Bass looks cool too!

It's Candy Apple Red - it is Jimmy's take on this colour so maybe not quite the same as a Fender. In fact I've seen a few modern CAR Fenders and they are a much deeper red than this one. Jimmy's looks more like it's been around for a while and has some fading (this is how it was from new but, with a nitro finish, it will fade a little more over time). It's a great bass. One of the very best AC's I've ever played - and I've played a few! Personally I like the RA series as I'm quite a fan of early 70's Fenders with alder bodies but the 70's pickup spacing

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1365594504' post='2041471'] The shop will have been lazy and done a Google search for details and identified that (fretted) fingerboards are maple or rosewood... not many fretlesses so they likely won't realise that they would be ebony. [/quote] You can be so harsh John I think the shop took this bass in as a part exchange and were told it was rosewood by the owner who'd had it some time. Generally they wouldn't take something apart that's been bolted together for a long time for fear of woods moving around and unsettling the general feel and action. I have a feeling they will stand corrected and update their policies in the future
