I tried a pawn-shop Mustang in PMT Bristol a few weeks back - very meaty (too meaty for me in fact!) tho' can be tamed by backing off the volume control. Unfortunately, the one that I tried had a fault whereby turning the tone control right down resulted in no sound at all - a worrying QC oversight on a new bass!

Ah! Got it now. Lovely mix of instruments and voices.

My Ashdown experience amounts to regularly gigging an ABM 500 rig for 10 years. I was even on their website! I wouldn't necessarily knock them, but I always had to turn down the lowest frequency control, and I could never get the lovely mids that I now enjoy with my current rig. In the end the weight was the killer.

I'm getting 'This video is currently unavailable'...

Sabian bought my Orange Tiny Terror, paid within minutes of me accepting his offer. Gave me a chance to ogle his 5-string collection and hear his jolly nice Jazzmaster!

I can either file out a little around the terminals, or fill the void with hot melt glue. I'll probably do a bit of both, I dont want sparking here. [/quote] That's very tight! Maybe MDP will lend you his big triangular 'zero fret' file to create some more clearance?

Sounds great! I presume that the 3PDT switch did away with the need to use Boss's buffered switching circuit?

[quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1367352884' post='2064664'] PRS are 25" bang on, supposed to be compromise between the two but I'm a 25.5" scale guy - less cramped! Check out the G&L Tribute Fiorano. [/quote] I have a PRS McCarty gold-top (with P90s) and it really does cover the ground between Fender and Gibson. If I could only take one guitar to play a rock gig, a pop gig, and a country gig, that would be the one.

Competition for MDP perhaps?

Some pics of the bass and the suggested new parts might help.

Nice to see you again Stuart, even if McDonald's was closed for a refurb and we had to make do with Sainsbury's cafe!

Don't see why that wouldn't work. Back in the day, bass players just plugged into 100W or 200W Marshalls with 4x12 cabs. Just be wary of too much gain as that will probably compromise the fullness of the bottom end (fnar fnar).

The answer is in the question! Most cabs are 8 ohm. A head that will deliver 500W into 4 ohm will give more like 300W into 8 ohm, so that would be your minimum power for a single 8 ohm cab. Get a second one if you want to extract full power and a 'bigger' sound.

Ooh... Varies a lot. Sometimes mojo is engaged from the get-go (please address all complaints to the management), sometimes barely at all. Very much related to how we perceive the audience methinks.

Marcus, perhaps you can ease your pain with a Tanglewood Rebel 4k... Or perhaps not

Never had this problem but solely use Macs (ooh that warm feeling of smug self-righteousness - almost like being a cyclist!)

I found it a bit annoying to start with but soon found it un-put-down-able. Of especial interest to those with relatives suffering from Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, strokes, and goodness-knows-what. Re EDIT: enjoy!

[/quote] Aarrgh! A 'smile' on the graphics. Sorry but did you use your [i]ears[/i] or your [i]eyes[/i] to set that!?
