Thank you for clarifying the way the pickups mix at the jack sockets mate! - Is that the same for all the models? For some reason I thought that using one socket only mixed the two outputs but I must have gotten confuzzed! Maybe it's ric-o-sound I've got lodged in my noggin!

p.s. One day I'll put some pennies aside and get an Attitude bass!!

That's correct - Billy Sheehan runs two rigs, without going in to too much detail, and to over simplifiy, each rig is fed separately by each pickup. The front pickup (neck) supplies all the 'super deep low' and the P pickup everything else. I think when you use the other (nearest) output you should get both mixed, but if you use both outputs at the same time you will get a feed from each pickup separately each ith its own volume control. Thus, if you use just the furthest on it's own, due to the limitations of hardware and wiring, you will indeed just get the P pup output.

Congratulations Chloe!! x

Yeah, I agree with that - it was really soon and before any large number made it to the UK I believe.

Hey guys, I just have to chime in - and can be corrected if I am wrong - but if you are wanting a Steve Harris bass tone, you need neither a Pod or a Sansamp. Steve played a large part of his career with just a Trace Elliot preamp, straight in to power amps and then 4x12 cabs with EV speakers in right? No modelling or crazy gubbins. So I'd say, the only think you might want in the set up you have already to add the signature clicky top end might be a graphic equaliser pedal. The P Bass with an SD pickup like Steves will do the rest for ya! - Turn it up loud and play lightly.

Oh sorry, missed a bit! Yes, I had the 145 specifically made by Newtone strings to get enough tension in t'other F# tuning, but moved to Warwick when the 175 gauge became available in the UK. Now Rotosound make 175 gauge as well, then I go get from them. But I'm not doing as much low tuned metal right now, so I may even have a go at a high F tuning! Hmmm... Maybe.. I prefer the lower notes though!

Doodle was designed specifically to handle a low F# right down to woods, construction and electronics. I think it was a success! total design time must have been about 6 months as Jon and I sent messages and phone calls back and forth. Speaking of tone, I just got back from another gig in London wih an engineer loving the tone straight off my Shukers! Very pleased about that!

Wow, 2007! Was it really that long ago!

I'd agree with the above, I have a second hand F1 that is use as a spare/ back up head. It's great because I can chuck it in my gig bag, but it's powerful enough to look after itself when used in my big rig! It does indeed come with rack ears and I think the 2nd hand prices make it very attractive even to use as just a power amplifier! So very light!

As I have a preference for Speakons for speaker connections I bridged my LH1000 and daisy chained from the head to the first 410 and out of the first in to the second. If you want to make use of the balance control then option A will allow this. It is disengaged when you bridge the two 500w power amplifiers together for option B I'd not do option 3 even if you do use the balance control to attempt to mute channel B. it is infact still outputting signal, but you won't have a speaker connected.

Sweet!

I'd take both the eBay lister and the TalkBass posts with a pinch of salt as it says nothing about how the cabinet or indeed about how the gear is being used. e.g. driving excessive low end (sub frequencies) in to it. I'd say that about any person making general comments about any gear. There's no fact in the reference to the power handling. I could make a speaker cabinet 'fart out' with not a great deal of power which could lead to premature failure of the speaker. Or maybe, just unlucky, the guy had a faulty cabinet? It does happen after all.

Guys! Check out my full review of the head and matching cab (with video) in the free Guitar Interactive Magazine! The review starts on page 179 here: [url="http://licklibrary.ceros.com/iguitarmag/issue5/page/179"]http://licklibrary.ceros.com/iguitarmag/issue5/page/179[/url]

We've maintained the 'no commenting rule' throughout as not everyone has managed to maintain the decorum of BassChat when it comes to the peaceful and friendly environment we have here. - I mean, we're not a 'stereo-typical' forum - certainly nothing like any other I have been on. I'd urge potential buyers to stand by Caveat Emptor and to do their research before parting with your cash - you'd do the same when you bought a car right?? And basses are a WAY more valuable commodity than a motor!!! ha ha. I think it is right to drop the seller a line and have a polite chat about the price - If they are a n00b then it helps to invite them in to the community if we are supportive. If the thread has gone awry then contact myself or one of the other moderators. Use the report button, which is very effective - all the Mods get to see the report and we can then deal with appropriately. I think that if anyone is selling an item for too high a price, then they are probably going to realise it's on the high side if it doesn't shift. and finally, those selling kit - as Pete says, doing a bit of homework - use closed For Sale ads to see if you can find similar pieces of gear and their prices - or indeed Google. It is your friend!

Awesome! Thank you! - I was looking forward to having a nose at that Bass actually! - I was very pleased that it lived up to the hype around it. Infact I'm pretty pleased that I've not had any duff kit to review yet!
