Cheers, James[/quote] Nothing coming up James but plenty in Bucks - my gig list on my website is down at the moment but if you want me to send you a list, pm me. Regards Col

[quote name='alexclaber' post='662387' date='Nov 23 2009, 09:11 AM']Is the Nemesis 15" as loud as the 4x10"? I'll be really surprised if it is! Alex[/quote] . . . . ermm maybe I should've been a little more explicit. I wouldn't know how to measure each cabs loudness - but - I play in rock bands usually using a Trace AH 250. Seldom turn up more than 3 with either cab. I'm having loads of trouble dialling in a beefy sound with the 4x10, but the 1x15 does it for me every time - is it louder? - not too sure - gonna continue to work with the 4x10 though. Just to mention - the 4x10 is the 'RS' version where the 1x15 is the older version.# Col

Have you thought about one of the Nemesis 1 x 15? I've got the 1 x 15 and the 4 x 10 and I reckon the 15 trumps the 4x10 hands down! Very manageable also.

I regularly use a Behringer feedback killer in line with our two monitors - and we hardly ever have feedback problems. I also use a graphic inline - I play piped music through it and try to eq out anything that sonds unnatural, and routinely cut the top and bottom couple of bands.

Don't wanna state the obvious - but you've noticed it doesn't come with a body?!

Looks very similar to my 77. I'll see if I have some pics!

I'm glad someones posted this. Andy Viccars (well respected local luthier and bass player) always reckons you should roll the volume on the pickup back a bit to find it's sweet spot. I usually have mine full on but do roll it back occasionally for quieter passages - but I'm interested - DOES volume level affect the tone?

Or try a tiny dab of loctite on the saddle screw threads.

I seem to remember reading that Sting's was Alder. Mine is ash - I love it and have no problem with the stinglay - but why make it of a different wood from the original - although I gotta say I lurve ash basses!

I had an MM3 5 string - it was lovely and I regret letting it go!

Love the Ash P Nick - bet it sounds the dogs - thought you'd never part with the Ric but I'm still loving the Custom Shop Jazz - one of my favourites!!

Was kidding

Beedster needs one of these - hey Chris - if you drove up to Lancaster to collect it - maybe you could drop the Ibanez off on the way ha ha!

Lovely close grain on this one - nice!!

She's a bootifull beeeaatch!

I've got a Custom Shop 64 closet classic in those colours and it's just awesome. I was playing in a Floyd tribute at the time I got it so bought a set of EMG's to go on it to be like Guys (sad I know!) but they wouldn't slot in without me widening the routs - so I've left it with the originals in. I've got a few really nice basses but this one is definately one of my best!
