[quote name='MatthewKeys' post='927759' date='Aug 17 2010, 05:15 PM']yeah that's probaly my top pick at the moment but i'm still abit skeptical about the 1 tube in the pre-amp, it just doesn't seem like something ampeg would do.. so i'm going to wait and see what everyone else says about it. Thanks for your advice! Yeah when I was trying it out in the shop, it wasn't peaking when i had the passive switch on so i thought 'why not'... until i turned the gain up, thats when t started peaking badly. But yeah, I tried boosting the gain to the full 8db on the eq and it made the tone even less clean! Thanks for your help! To be honest, i like the both the 3 and the 7 but i would prefer the 7 because it's louder... BUT it's going to be hard to find a good secondhand 7 pro seeing as they only came out early this year! So if there are no 7's available I might have to settle with the svt3 and just wait for a 7 to come up for sale. If anyone is reading this and has a svt7 for sale please PM me![/quote] On my 5 PRO my SD Quarter Pounders kill passive mode so I have to go into active mode and crank it, at the end of the day it doesn't matter how you get there as long as you get the right amount of gain for you. Anyway back OT, I have read really good things about the 7 and it'd probably be the easiest to sell on if you didn't like it.

I think the white, looks smoother.

The guy in the shop where I got my ABM cab from told me Mark King had played through it, could be true as they do get a lot of old tour stuff in there but he obviously didn't realise that wouldn't be a selling point to me.

I'd only been on the site for a few months when I came across an SX P-Bass that I liked the look of (had a Bart Simpson sticker over a bit of solder that had fallen on the body and that was far to boring for Si), I was unemployed but starting a job soon, he said 'come and pick it up when you have the money pay me but no rush', so I headed up to London where he was staying with family, he had bought the SX and his beloved Shuker with him so I could have a play on his pride and joy, I spent a long old while with him, he was a great character, had a great jam with him. Such a trusting, funny and genuine guy, the world is a sadder place without him.

Sold a neck to Rich top fella, instant payment. Winner.

I also know.

I have gone with a bid rather than BIN and see what happens. Cheers for the help guys, fingers crossed I could get it.

While I was at Beedster's house earlier I tried his DB and it gave me the bug. I was looking on eBay and found[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rockabilly-Double-Bass-/160467430904?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments#ht_500wt_1154"] this[/url] , would it be any good?

Oh amp wise it'd probably be a Shuttle with a Barefaced Vintage (I would never have that amp)

I have that but without the pre although it did have one for a bit.

All sounds good.

I'm in Cardiff on Friday, Carmarthen on Saturday and Swindon on Sunday

More like a wizard sleeve.

Cheers for the help guys but I decided life was too short to be bothering with it so I sold the neck.

Why are some people such pedants? What if it turns out this bass is later or whatever? All you're doing is devaluing an old man's pride and joy.

Bought an OS2 from Theo, top fellow, looks after this kit.

Bought a neck off of Al, top guy to do business with.

I bought a neck to replace the one on my P bass special but the neck is bit smaller then the pocket, should I just bolt it on?
