Speakon Cables - what you using. ?
Steve Browning replied to dmccombe7's topic in General Discussion
Fellow ClearTone user here. Excellent cables and good service from Stewart. -
I am no expert but I wonder if, as things are moving in the right direction, the thread is locked for now? I am sure there's no real danger but we haven't got anything more we can add to the story and it would be awful if there was any chance at all that this thread could assist the alleged fraudster. Just suggesting caution and it looks as though our actions have had the desired effect.

It could be stuck on an island with Tom Hanks.

I am presuming she's asking the same question on Singerchat.com? 🙂

I would only make the suggestion that you think beyond the immediate need. I would expect the price differential between buying to cope now with what you may want in future to be sizeable. Certainly in respect of mixer channels.

Interesting. What note is the open top string?

How would you describe your tone?

Mr Pot, may I introduce Mr Kettle? -
How would you describe your tone?
Steve Browning replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I'm sure you're not actually implying that I don't but I am fortunate enough to have had enough compliments about my sound to suggest that I am achieving both our objectives. -
How would you describe your tone?
Steve Browning replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
John Deacon on Queen II. That's my sound. -
I would just say scratch the itch and get it out of your system. I have loved the sound out of my (variously) Marshall, Sound City, Orange and Boogie all valve rigs but my current (valve pre/digital power stage) gives me the same result (to my ears). I clung on to my first Boogie amp for years and realised it just wasn't going to be used again. I didn't need to.

Please know that I absolutely hate you (jealousy).

I am very glad to have been a help to you and delighted you are (seemingly) as happy as I am with my Mesa gear. Good luck with the search for a trolley. As you say, not heavy but more bulky than anything. I carry one in each hand but negotiating doors can require choreography!!
-
Glad to hear you're pleased. The TT will reduce the weight but not the tone.
-
The Monique pre-amp, especially, is a wonderful looking piece of kit. Absolutely agree with you. Enjoy the new rig.
-
I really don't imagine you'll be anything but delighted. I have always been wary of mixing speaker sizes but am completely reassured by Andy's explanation of how the Subway series are designed to work together. I keep thinking of getting a 2x15 and 2x12 and moving on the two 1x15s. Common sense is maintaining a slight lead at the moment!!
-
It's all subjective, of course, but I couldn't disagree with you more. As I have said, my Mesa journey has taken me through a number of different amps/cabs but I've retained (to my ears) the same sound throughout that journey. I have also said that I struggled with the eq when I first got my Bass 400, in the 80's, but perseverance has paid off handsomely and I've saved a fortune over the years.

I'm as happy as Jack when it comes to the volume control. Always flat out and I vary the strength of my plucking to achieve dynamics. It's not difficult to play at a whisper with everything flat out.
-
Can't help but think 'Boom' doesn't conjure up an image of nicely controlled output! Boom is the last thing you want!!

I stopped taking my old Precisions out on the road a little while ago and. initially, used Fender Japan 70US models with Bass Doc tort scratchplates live. I swapped out the pickups for Kent Armstrong Vintage P's. I was asked (by Simon at SVL) if he could build a bass for me and I ended up getting two. They are copies of my 66 Precision but in a finish based on the mocha/black combination of late 70's basses. If it weren't for Simon I would still be using the Japanese basses as they are extraordinarily good and consistent (never bought one having played it first and every one has been brilliant). Here are the oldies and t he Japanese basses together - the other is a Classic 50s. The 66 is, as you might imagine, is in the middle of the front row.

Not one but two Wilkes basses on ebay this week...
Steve Browning replied to W1_Pro's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I had one of those and would kill to get it back;. The pickup was a little smaller than a 'real' Stingray and was a little microphonic but a wonderful instrument. -
Not in any of the pictures I can find.

Issue after fitting Retrovibe Stinger
Steve Browning replied to Steve Browning's topic in Repairs and Technical
It sounds brilliant. Really pleased with it. Even on a Sub it is close to what I remember from my old Stingray. -
Anyone recognise this rack case/know similar models?

Issue after fitting Retrovibe Stinger
Steve Browning replied to Steve Browning's topic in Repairs and Technical
OK. It's a short. I took off the control plate (wiring intact) and it's fine. Thought I'd been careful fitting it but obviously not enough. As you were folks.
