You can get a really wide range of sounds out of it, from a sort of clean acoustic bass vibe to a full on overdriven/distorted sound. Comes with a compressor and synth bass FX. Really good at low to medium volume, although I haven't cranked it up I lent it to a friend to play in a medium size Church setting and she said it really held its own (although being a Church they weren't playing at ear-splitting volumes!) You've obviously seen the makers blurb? - [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_LDSTUDIO10.html"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_LDSTUDIO10.html[/url] Worth waiting for a previously loved one to pop up IMHO.

You can pick up a new Line6 Lowdown 110 for around £150, and secondhand ones pop up in the for sale forum here! An excellent practice amp, and really small (12" x 12" x 12") I'm very impressed with mine. Hamster

I'm looking forward to trying a little giant, but find the front panel to be a complete dogs dinner. The combination of knobs and sliders for the EQ to me is very counter-intuitive. Have knobs OR sliders, not both! Hamster

I haven't played any Indie basses, but have been quite impressed with their acoustic and electric guitars for the price. Hamster

16 + 4 in parallel will give you an approx 3.2 ohm load, I think the LMII goes to 4 ohm minimum? Hamster

You didn't want to start a topic like this now did you? - You don't want to do it like that!

Apart from being Redhill's premier bassist, he's a thoroughly nice chap who gave me a fist full of money for a bass I was selling. Cheers! Hamster

How long has the allparts neck been on the bass, what strings are you using, and what's your playing style?

Agree with most comments above. Too many ads in the USA mags. BGM is more home grown, but reviewers should praise/criticise where due.

Hi Lizzie Enjoy the forums! Hamster

Hi Gav Welcome to the forums! Sounds ike a good gig there for you - work & play! Enjoy Hamster

Mark is a really nice guy, I've only had a brief chat a couple of times but he comes across as a very genuine guy - and of course a great bassist. I'd crawl a mile through broken glass just to stick burnt matches in his poo Hamster

Gonad insurance soared when these cabs first came out, and they sparked a thriving hernia repair business which you've probably heard of on TV & radio Hamster

A good price? - If selling - £400 - £450 If buying - £350 - £400 Hamster

I've also sent a message to the buyer pointing them to this thread. Hamster

[quote name='silddx' post='234771' date='Jul 8 2008, 09:51 AM']I've bought a number of things from the Stratosphere on ebay, should have what you need. Real Fender necks, bodies, everything. Good prices and great service from the States. [url="http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/reliablefender"]http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/reliablefender[/url][/quote] A +1 for them - great service. Hamster

I was going to say the same as Wooks, but he beat me to it Just a +1 for the above then. A Zoom pedal will give you what you want, and will give you more ideas about what you can do. Hamster

With most stuff on ebay, the serious bidding is a last minute thing. As long as you're happy with the reserve amount (and it's a realistic reserve based on completed auctions) then let it run. If it sells you'll get at least what you want if not more. Hamster

Ummmmm - Alien Amps Ltd - Nice work. You should start a thread to suggest names for the product range: The Tribble The Darth Vader The Quark The Predator The Little Predator Hamster
