  1. [quote name='Sibob' post='621093' date='Oct 8 2009, 10:23 PM']... 4) [b]Sadowsky Metro MV4[/b] - I think it was an MV4 anyway, Ash body, maple FB, dots & white scratchplate. The bass was obviously built brilliantly, the ash of the body and the lacquer that finished it were a joy to look at & hold, the wet-look of the body was a stark contrast to the neck though, which was a very plain maple finished in, what I'm guessing, a satin finish, almost looked unfinished, very 'matt'. The bass sounded fantastic though, it took me about 1 minute to find a tone that was very useable, thick yet growly. The preamp was extremely versatile (aside from one dodgy pot) and overall I was very very impressed. I'd be interested in trying it in a gig setting, because depending on it's sound in the mix, I'd definitly consider one.......and I hate active basses lol. £1799 though.....harsh[/quote] Sadowskys are great basses and, as it's been said many times , it's in the mix where the Sadowskies really shine so, if you liked it when you tried it, you'll be pleasantly surprised how good they sound in a band situation.
  2. I'm thinking of running my effects into a second amp, mainly for distorted sounds. I'm currently using a Classic SVT through a Bergantino NV610. What's the best way to do it? Which amp should be enough to pair with my current amp? Guitar or Bass amp? What's the difference between using a second amp for effects or just one amp with a blender pedal? Any experiences? I'm a bit lost here so any input/advice from you guys would be highly appreciate it. Thanks!

  4. Last night I headed down to the Concorde2 in Brighton to see Skunk Anansie. It was a warm up gig for their upcoming tour. The venue was packed as you'd expect and the atmosphere was amazing. All I can say it's...Wow!!! I was blown away, they are in top form! Although the sound could have been better, they played really well and it was a gig to remember. A couple of videos, not mine, here...not very good sound though: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHOuBEJZeM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDHOuBEJZeM[/url] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRg26RSLhI&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRg26RSLhI...feature=related[/url] Cass is an awesome bass player, I love his playing, very tasteful basslines and very tasteful use of effects...He's pedalboard was huge! Twice the one from Ace (guitar). Basswise, he used a Musicman double pickup, not sure if it was a Stingray or a Sterling, you can see it quite a lot on the second video I posted. He also used a blue Lakland Darryl Jones 5 string with rosewood fingerboard for a couple of songs. If you have the oportunity to catch them on tour, don't miss it!
  5. [quote name='0175westwood29' post='617698' date='Oct 5 2009, 05:34 PM']thanks man just found a wicked vid that explained it to time to start looking for a cool little amp. that i can rackmount above my pro 6 :-) andy[/quote] A vid? Where? Just asking because I might go down the same road soon
  6. Yes, I'll be there...I missed it last yer because of work but this time I'm off and I'm definitely going.
  7. [quote name='leebass69' post='610903' date='Sep 28 2009, 03:11 PM']I'm pretty sold on the idea of one of these rascals Paubass, still waiting for a buyer for my 210 combi jobbie. Honestly thought it'd gone by now![/quote] It's a great sounding cab, you won't be dissapointed...Drop me a line if you sell your combo
  8. [quote name='leebass69' post='609681' date='Sep 26 2009, 10:36 PM']Hiya, am I right in saying your 610 sounds 'bassier' than the 8 due to the cabinet being ported??[/quote] Yes, I'd say it has much more controlled low end than the 810 and also a better response on the high end, very clear.
  9. [quote name='NJE' post='608323' date='Sep 25 2009, 08:43 AM']Any news on the website anyone? I want to know if/when i can order one?[/quote] Me too!!!
  10. [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='608081' date='Sep 24 2009, 07:53 PM']how many watts can it handle?[/quote] 600 Watts... All the info here: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt610hlf/index.html"]http://www.ampeg.com/products/classic/svt610hlf/index.html[/url]
  11. Back to the top! Still looking for a new home
  12. [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='598790' date='Sep 14 2009, 10:31 PM']I just got a message back from them saying that they have someone now.[/quote] Really? What a shame! I was hoping to, at least, do the audition but I sent them two messages since they placed the ad and I didn't get any reply at all.
  13. After having many doubts regarding price and if I really want to sell it, I have decided that yes, it has to go. I'm selling it for £425... It's in really good condition and works perfectly. It'a great bit of gear! Anyone interested? Get in touch, please.
  14. Very tempted by this bass...If you don't mind me asking? Are those pots original ones or they've been replaced? Just asking because the one on the left looks too new and different to the ones I've seen before.
  15. Anyone interested? It's a great cab and it will make someone a very happy man
  16. [quote name='bassmeg' post='575897' date='Aug 20 2009, 06:24 PM']I guess your settling into your berg then Pab? How are you finding it? I have decided not to part with mine at the mo, sounds too good! Good luck with the sale man! Laters.[/quote] Yes Chris, I'm keeping the Bergantino...I'm well impressed with this cab, it's smaller, lighter, louder...well, and more expensive too, but worth the extra money in my opinion. You've made the right decision keeping yours, sounds too good!
  17. Definetely up for sale...I'm not using it anymore and it has to go.
  18. I'm a bit late to the party but, please, could you add me to the list too? I'd like to try it! Thanks!
  19. [quote name='cetera' post='559152' date='Aug 3 2009, 12:56 PM']Anyone got a Berg NV610 and/or a 70's/80's SVT head they can bring along? How about a GK 1001RB or 2001RB? [/quote] Not sure yet if I can make it but, if I can, I'll bring along my Bergantino NV610 and my SVT Classic head, sorry not 70's/80's though
  20. [quote name='YouMa' post='557747' date='Aug 1 2009, 01:08 PM']...the geddy lee jazz is very thin necked.[/quote] +1 I think the Geddy Lee is the bass with the thinnest neck I've ever seen, it's a shaved down jazz bass neck...very comfortable and easy to play.
  21. I also tried swapping necks on my P and jazz basses recently and I came across the same problem but, in my case, it was all down to string height, adjusting the bridge saddles solved the problem.
