Rollin Thunder

got mine yesterday played it all evening g, playing with settings. this is serious low end monster, wouldn't think so for what is a super light bass. it does any Frazer, john Entwistle and everything in between. great bass for hard rock classic rock/metal/ prog, punk, reckon it will slap a bit as well,( but that not my thing and other basses probably do that much better.) very much plays like a T Bird but coil taps give it another subtle dimension. its a bit lacking in mids, but some eq evens it up. better with a 50 G string than a 45 as well. its got a great neck, thin but not too much long but not too long. cannot go wrong with these Gibson usa made at £600 anyone thinking about it, just do it. i love it. played my Ray34 afterwards and that sounded like an elastic band on a tin can in comparison.

[/quote] yes i have, very similar, thats why i went for it, the Tbird's are not the best to play standing up when you have some belly on you. its a fair swap i'd say. specially with a slightly heavier Gauge steel string.

Just ordered a new 2017 EB, £599. from Andertons. couldn't decide between the fender dimension delux or this, but went for this, as i have played it and liked it, plus every video of it, it sounds way better than the dimension, which does not sound too different from my fender jazz. looking forward to it arriving soon.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1499206853' post='3330037'] You might find that the 115 ends up not being heard, plus the addition of a 410 is likely to change the eq. Most recommend getting the same cab again if you already like the sound of your existing cab - doubling the sound really is grin-inducing. But many use a 115/410 combination and love it, so I can`t see why it wouldn`t work. If you can get a good deal on the MAG410 then go for it. [/quote] works really well, £120 for the 410 cab, yes it did appear at first that the 410 drowned out the 115, but when i unplugged the 115 it did distinctly loose bottom end, plugged it back in and hey presto. got a really nice all round sound now. very please. only downside with ashdowns for me is they are a little quite compared with some other brands. like a hartke.

Price seems to vary, gear4 £190 pmt online £136. I paid £136

ordered signed sealed delivered. and very pleased with it. so much you can do with it. my big muff has much more full on grind and than this, but that's not what its for. I have the distortion level set at 1am blend at 11 and the drive at around 10am. this gives a great subtle distortion but keeps the bass dry mix at the forefront. effect set at pre eq. eq set at 2am bass treble at 1 the mids at centre 12. overall volume at around 2am. compressor on but on at low level as i just like a bit of compression. plenty to play around with but for this price cant go wrong.

do they have to pay music man for copyright, as its a complete copy. looks nice. hope it plays well. might have a look at there p bass

[quote name='captainfele' timestamp='1497538135' post='3318965'] Hi everyone, a friend of mine used to have a white Encore P Bass in the 90's. I think it was slightly short scale or a student model. Pretty sure it was made in India too. Has anyone got an idea of the model number, or better still have one? Cheers. [/quote] ive got a black one, and uprgaed the pickups recently with seymour duncan sp3. its for sale in classified at £120 (ono) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/307025-p-bass-customised/
