I had a TRBX 304 and whilst it is a good bass, I fell out of love with the sound of it rather quickly and moved it on. I have bought a few of the cheaper Ibby SR models and moved them on as well. I would not buy another "cheap" active bass again. If you aren`t happy with the bass, return it now and get something else.

Got one of those plywood covered with pvc style cases. Bit tatty but all catches work and the inside is fur lined Pickup only from Paisley or you could collect it from my work place in Kingston est, next to the old Harry Ramsdens. If you want it give me a shout.

I have a 86 Jap model and they are indeed cracking basses. I haven`t played a Taiwanese one but I would image it would be a very decent bass also.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1430987029' post='2766505'] Well that's done it! Thanks for that... It's quite heavy though! I wonder what the Ashdown clone is like... I suppose if it bursts into flames it'll prove it's an authentic copy... [/quote] You best be careful, youll rip your tights....

Geddy has got to be the nicest man in rock. But he did mention the R word at least twice

I play in an ACDC tribute band. It`s not an exact tribute act though: we have a girl singer who does the job well and our Angus doesn`t dress up in the school uniform anymore as "I want to let the music do the talking" So the singer dresses up in the school outfit! He is good though, the best Angus I have heard. Its great fun to play, just hard driving rock n roll!

Yamaha BB any day. Either a 70/80s Jap model or one of the newer ones. Both are excellent.

Bloomin heck!! The price hike on those Squier basses is shocking. A VM 77 jazz has gone up £35! Sod exchange rates, that is just taking the preverbial. I will never buy a new bass again. Second hand from now on.

Yamaha BB1100s, active on, into a Zoom B2 (used as tuner and a bit of a boost), into a Behringher BDi21, into the effects return of my Ashdown Mag 300 2x10. Just started using this set up and I prefer the tone shaping of the BDi rather than the amp eq.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1428839090' post='2745016'] I have a P bass incoming and I'm pretty sure that's going to disperse my Stingray GAS. At least for a bit, anyway. [/quote] So, back to where you started? Any more info?

Nice colour combo but it needs a black pickgaurd (Runs for cover!)

I ran a Behringer Europower powered mixer for 5 years in the covers band I was in and it never let us down once. I didn`t even keep it in a case and dropped it on a few occasions and still it worked. We bought it second hand and was still going when I buggered off. I had a TC BG250, just out of warranty, that went up in a puff of smoke and I paid £350 for it if I remember. I may get one of the Ampeg clones or the BX4500 Ashdown clone. Just have to sneak it past the mrs if I get one

If he replied through JMB, could the police trace him through his ip address? Worth reporting anyway even if you cant prove it.

[quote name='grumpyguts' timestamp='1428151942' post='2738534'] I spose the only problem is I don't really need 600w at 4 ohms, it results in cab issues I probably don't need. I wonder what it would give at 8 ohms... Looked on the Ashdown website and there is no mention; is this possibly some Thomann only deal? [/quote] I think this is the case. They had a similar deal about a year ago when they were called something different but still Thoman related. I would imagine that they are the same heads rebadged and as Thoman has such buying power, they get them for a good price.

I don`t think you will have many haters cos that is cool as fluck!!

A classic looking P bass. Who needs anything else? Like the engraved neck plate except for the poxy EU stickers.

Well, the guy Mark who owns Bass Direct said in Guitar and Bass magazine last month, "The reality is that, if you are playing contemporary pop/party music from the 70`s onwards, you really benefit from using a 5 string bass." He also says he can see the 4 string, e-g bass becoming obsolete. A bit of a sweeping statement in my view but everyone has their own opinions. The five string seems to have a bright future but not for me.

The only reason for using 2 cabs was to get the full power from my Ashdown head. I will try the 2 of them at the next rehearsal and see if anyone, or me, hears any difference.

I have spent far too much in the Glasgow shop and its always been cool. Apart from the credit card bill

We have a well know company in our place just now telling us how to do our jobs by writing guff to do with various figures on those wipe boards and he said the other day "If you dont have any problems then you have a problem." WTF does that mean????

He/She is my rock. gets right up my wobblly bits!

Right, let me get a few things straight... Whoever this guy was he is now banned? And more people on here like Dairylea more than Brie? I dunno, you go to work and miss all the fun.

I think everything will be ok and will work out fine...unless Discreet and his 15 million or so posts leaves I was bored the other day and had a look on the "Show us your rig" thread. I went right to the begining and there are people there who were here at the start and have legged it for some reason or other and I have never heard of them and I joined earlish 08. The guy whose input I miss is Out to play jazz. He still posts on Talkbass and is no doubt missed by others. But people come and go, such is life.
