GP11 AH250 with an 8x10 cab loaded with Fanes, the whole thing was flight cased and weighed more than the bus, but what a sound. [/quote] Mmmm thats nearly like the gear I use now,I use a 1048 and a 1048h cab,ah 300 head plus a chopped around sb700 will post a pic soon

[quote name='discotim' post='709129' date='Jan 11 2010, 06:10 PM']Thanks for all the input, kind word and warm welcome folks The budget is for the bass only. I'll delve into the amp side of things after that. I've owned a fair few top end guitars in my time, so know what I like, if you know what I mean. That said, I have picked up a few budget jobs and been pleasantly surprised. Thing is, I don't have oodles of time to spend driving around the country testing out all and sundry. Don't get me wrong: I'd love to, but it's simply not practical. I'm after spending a decent amount of wedge to minimise the chances of picking up a duffer. But my experience is only of six string guitars, so I appreciate all your help. Anyone tried an Organic, BTW?[/quote] Only problem with living in lincoln that there are only one or two music shops in the city and not much choice(ie fender or fender copy),so I see your predicament,but if your local pop round for a coffee and try any of my basses if you want,might give you a pointer to something you might like,at least that way your not buying blind.Havent got loads, the usual different scales and neck profiles,which as a guitarist,could be key.

Actually it was 'rumoured' to have been played by trigger from only fools n horses.Totally original bass just had 4 different necks and 9 different bodies,but apart from that totally original.

Live Muse have a keyboard player which might be something to consider in lieu of the backing tracks.[/quote] Mmm. I've seen Muse twice live and they didnt have a keyboard player then,mind you that was b4 the last 2 albums.I was amazed,Matt did it all!Great bunch of musicians. Agree with the other comments but good luck with Mus ic,Muse do Rock live.

[quote name='stevie' post='700746' date='Jan 4 2010, 06:15 PM']Which neo 10s did you use in the Trace?[/quote] Not certain but a friend ran the local music store and BN10s seem to ring a bell.They were err "Borrowed" as it were.At least I got the chance to do a back to back with the other trace and with the MB too all in all it was a majority vote for the 1048,so not just personal preference!

After trying these new style neo speakers,I have gone back to old skool .I had a trace 2x10 with horn,uprated to 400w neo style,yes more responsive but didnt seem to handle the full range,tried it along side my 1048h (also 300w)and no comparison,yes I know the cab is larger but there is no substitute for movement of air,and the neos did tend to break up when pushing the lows,also thats why I got rid of the markbass,but thats just my personal opinion.
