    Although at 48 you have a few years on me I'm just in the process of learning Paradise City for my new band, not a song I've done before although it seems easy enough and I can't bloody wait to play it! Age is no barrier, at the same time I'm learning some Kings of Leon and some Fleetwood Mac so it's as diverse as it can get! You go for it!!

    [quote name='dr.funk' post='432637' date='Mar 12 2009, 06:22 PM']£150 - what a bargin! I bought mine with a rackcase a year or two back for £250 and it has served me very well. Solid beast and a very nice clean punchy tone. My sound had so much more weight behind it compared with my old SWR Bass 350. I am hoping to sell mine at some point, can't believe they have dropped in value so much [/quote] And now it's mine and it's an awesome piece of kit.....cheers Chris! Minimal fettling needed to the eq, boost the tube a bit more than the solid state and it really punches through. I have the graphic on (nice lights) and just gave a little bit in the mids and a bit on the bass contour and all I needed was 2 on the master to get through git,keys,drums and vocs. It's amazing that Hartke made such a brilliant piece of kit and gave it the compressor from hell, still if I need to I'll get a pedal.

    [quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='454158' date='Apr 4 2009, 03:16 PM']I don't know what more you could do. I haven't owned or played an SX, but from the owners on here they all say how good they are for the money. It should surely be a great starter for anyone wanting to move onto playing 5ers at little cost. And if they want to mod it, there's plenty of room for updating without having to remortgage. I wonder if Lake Placid Blue is not the new black?[/quote] Agreed, and to be honest it's good enough for an experienced 5er player too, I'm only selling because I'm an active bass fan and I'm not confident enough to start messing with pick-ups and circuits myself. Oh and I've skint myself buying another amp

    [quote name='Rich' post='442388' date='Mar 23 2009, 01:17 PM']Hi Col What's the string spacing at the bridge? Looks narrower than the usual 3/4"ish Fender spacing.[/quote] Hey Rich, how ya doing? I've never really understood about spacing, is it literally that I measure the gap from side to side? Usually I just go on the if it feels right it's ok. I'll have a look when I get home. Col

    Also make sure the extension cab is the right ohmage to get the best power out of the combo, I would imagine it needs to be 8ohms.

    Just to say I saw Billy do a demo of his new preamp in Exeter to about 100 people a few years and he blew me away. Always been a fan of his playing, Niacin, Mr Big especially. Met him afterwards and he was a top bloke, signed a ton of autographs and spent a load of time chatting.

    Unless our very own Doctor of the Bass got it wrong its a 1! Great bass whatever it is I had a 2000 before and regretted selling it so its back to a brand I know and love.
