[quote name='wateroftyne' post='191546' date='May 4 2008, 12:56 PM']Personally, I can't equate how an amp/cab sounds in a shop to how it sounds at a gig. They're totally different environments.[/quote] Never, Ever a truer sentiment expressed within this forum...... god knows how much cash the lack of this understanding has cost me over the years...... I shudder to think !!

[quote name='chris_b' post='191745' date='May 4 2008, 06:42 PM']I tried the Suitcase and I didn't think it was very good..... then I added the 4x5 extension speaker and wow, what a difference. As an 8x5 set up it sounded great with a very good bass response.[/quote] I owned the Suitcase with extension cab for a while...... In the house sounded great, Bass extension was truely unbelievable..... took it to a rehearsal and that was it..... totally vanished behind the drummer i'm afraid HiFi ? Yes, would make a great studio set up ! Genuinely Gigable ? - No I don't think so (IMHO) The bigger stuff may be a different bag Mark

Just to throw the Mesa Scout into the mix

Pretty sure Lemon Oil is only recommended for Rosewood / Ebony boards....... I'm going to get my Ray Lacquered I think....

2 words....... ! Lane Poor looks bloody familiar..... why the heck didn't you buy mine !!

Just been putting the building blocks together for "Around the World" (RHCP)

For a more modern take on the Jazz Bass sound try some Sadowky Single Coils - I had them installed in a pretty ordinary bass and they transformed it ! Can't go wrong with the Wizards though !!

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='179518' date='Apr 18 2008, 09:24 AM']The only bloke I know who can have bought and gotten a cab home before the shop even has the stock on the floor I was in GG tuther day and they were still discussing where to put the Aggie stock! Go on you may as well get back in there and get the 2x10 to save them the trouble of shufftying the gear about and putting it on display [/quote] The DB210 they have in is an 8 ohm, me being fussy I didn't want to mix impedence or i'd have it home by now !! LOL Nice Nice tone......!! Had Funky Hobbit and Kev Bucket over yesterday with thir toys (Cutlass, Fender Jazz, Spector NS2) all sounded great into the Big Aggie !!

[quote name='Tee' post='179509' date='Apr 18 2008, 09:13 AM']What colour? [/quote] Classic Black / Silver - Very tastefull !

[quote name='Platypus' post='180078' date='Apr 18 2008, 07:32 PM']Think that's as good a stock list as you'd find anywhere in the country P[/quote] Last time I was in Electro Music in Doncaster they pretty much had one of each of the skylines 4s & 5s too !

Thanks Guys....... I've bought an Aguilar DB410 (4ohm) Great Box !! Talk about Grunt and Heft, can't wait to use it live Mark

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='175211' date='Apr 12 2008, 03:15 PM']The Geddy Lee is very good, but I'd instead go for one of the last S1 Jazz basses from Sound Control. They're a lot better - I've owned both![/quote] + 1 for the S1
