    Hi Nik,

    So you are getting on well with the Roscoe Beck? Good stuff. I agree about Peavey gear - every bit I have tried has been brilliant, and seemingly very under-rated in terms of output power. There is a review of their new Neo 4x10 in bass Player mag and they like that too - great gear at great prices.

    Alright Stickmatey,

    I spoke with a Line 6 employee at Music Live and also to someone who works there via email beforehand, both said they could neither confirm or deny rumours' whilst various people have told me it will be around the first quarter next year.

    I was also under the impression that is was basically an XT pro with a few extras, but apparently it's the hardware (processor) that has been greatly improved over the previous version, meaning the tones are more efficiently produced and have more of what I guess you might call headroom. There has been some discussion about it here [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=365610&page=4"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...5610&page=4[/url] which is all very interesting. I am skeptical about it sounding 'better' as I am so happy with my XT I don't want it to sound any different to an extent, but will definitely buying one anyway.

    Cheers

    Hi Dave,

    That sounds like a good plan! I might add that even at the fairly dirty sound it still had plenty of bottom and definition, so I could hear the nuances of each bass coming through which was really nice. Would definitely be interested in trying out any others you build - and the paint job certainly set it apart from everything else on the stand!!

    Cheers

    Hi Dave,

    I was there on Saturday and did watch a couple of people try it out through the Berg 610. From what I heard it sounded very full but quite dirty - we had a go at calming it down but were not too familiar with the controld and so on - we found that by turning the 'Bright' switch off and easing back on the treble it warmed up very quickly, so I should have liked to have spent longer with it and exploring it. It struck me straight away as a fascinating piece of kit.

    Oysh Oysh!! Another bass? What's wrong with you boy.

    I can't WAIT until the X3 rack is released (new year apparently). Will DEFINITELY be checking one out, but like I said to you at some point, I don't see how they can improve the actual sounds at all! Now I have lived with mine for some time and used it all over the place, I am really happy - and just when I thought I was safe, the X3 comes along and rocks my unstable and GASsy little world!!!

    I highly doubt I would have paid to get in this year - £17 or something apparently? The London Guitar Show I went to with Kiwi was even worse - even more crowded and even LESS bass things! Remember the 'bass studio' advertised as a 'heaven for bass players' was an empty room with 3 men gathered around a markbass 610. Laughable.

    Great to meet you too mate, you had some stunning skills. The Pilot bloke is Flanker. You could also have described him as the one who salivated over everything on the stand!

    It was a great day and the atmosphere at the Bass Direct stand was just excellent. I had a brief wander around during the day and came running back to the sanctuary of more 'grown up' players who weren't hell bent on making a godawful racket. That was until I had a go, of course.
