As Spartacus has already said, it's tonally very flexible, with the semi-parametric e.q really handy for making very quick tonal adjustments as it allows you to cut/boost anywhere from 40hz to 10khz! The enhance control allows you to dial in a very good 'scooped mids' tone which is instantly very pleasing to the ears, but IMO, takes too much away from the natural 'bite' in the sound that this amp has. The Edge control does provide a very useful valve simulation, which I like to use as it dirties up the sound of the amp, but in a good way. Some of the other features are very handy too; the mute button, DI out with adjustable level, gain boost which is great if you have basses that have very diffferent output levels ( which mine do) and the footswitch comes in handy too. Another great feature is that it will run comfortably at 2 ohms and give you the full 650 watts, which is terrific for someone like me who has two 4ohm cabs. The only crticism I have is that the NA 650 has a well-documented design flaw in that is not completely silent; it has a slight hum which can be quite annoying when using the amp at low volume levels.. I took it to my amp repairer and he tried to remedy it with some extra sheilding, but it didn't work at all! Otherwise - a great amp!

Some beautiful looking gear there; real quality! Looks like a lot to lug around though, so I hope you've got some roadies to help you out??

[quote name='Sean.Robinson' post='518387' date='Jun 19 2009, 01:51 PM']That is beautiful though i cant decide whether im more enviable of the bass or that it seems to have being completed on time, you are indeed a lucky man [/quote] +1 And indeed the fact that the bass is in part, a present from Mrs Clarky... How lucky can a man get? Gorgeous looking bass and one to keep for sure!

[quote name='Stingray5' post='519407' date='Jun 20 2009, 04:12 PM']That's one seriously good looking and sounding bass. Good clip too, showing nice tones for finger and slap styles. Tasty! Cheers, Steve[/quote] +1 Great bass and very impressive & enjoyable clip, thanks!

Brilliant looking combination!!

[quote name='dood' post='513029' date='Jun 13 2009, 11:02 PM']^^^^^^ Yes, totally agree. Beautiful sunburst P - perfect with the maple board![/quote] +1

The Goodfellow is a fantastic looking bass and, having played one quite similar, I know that they sound amazing!

Very nice indeed!!

[quote name='BarnacleBob' post='511671' date='Jun 11 2009, 10:45 PM']I only buy it to hide my copy of Huge Juggs ( a celebrated journal of note ) which also contains pictures of t*ts BB[/quote] Not all bass players are boring!

Thanks folks! The voice of the people has spoken and it seems like it'd be a good move.. Stickman - will send you a PM! Thanks again...

[quote name='Bassassin' post='509292' date='Jun 9 2009, 05:31 PM']Dennis Dunaway (original Alice Cooper Group) - to my ears simply the god of pick users: [i]Gutter Cat vs The Jets, Blue Turk, Halo Of Flies, Billion Dollar Babies[/i] etc etc. Outrageously good. Other plectrum deities (in addition to those already mentioned): JJ Burnel, Steven Severin, Tony Butler, Peter Steele, Russell Webb, Hooky, Jason Newsted. It's probably fair to say most of my favourite players are pick users. Jon.[/quote] +1 Love Dennis Dunaway! And Barry Adamson, Leigh Gorman, JJ, Carol Kaye and many others already mentioned here.. I equally love lots of other bass players who don't use a pick. It's all down to how good the individual musician is IMO and how you connect with their sound and style of playing!

Thanks folks! That helps a lot.. Never hear of the Wobo before but it sounds like a very good unit, though perhaps it's a little more difficult to get hold of than the Boss and a bit more expensive! I think that the LS-2 will probably suffice for my needs and the fact that it can also be used as a volume boost is a very attractive additional feature. I'm just a little concerned by the fact it may affect your natural tone (though the Harmony Central jury seems 'out' on that point).

[quote name='sturm' post='508477' date='Jun 8 2009, 07:41 PM']very nice, porn indeed that spectorcore looks the dogs[/quote] +1 As does the Tokai....

Hi Folks Just wondering what the Boss LS-2 is all about; what people use them for etc, etc. I was thinking I'd like a pedal that would allow me to be able to alter the signal chain in my Effects board from one effect to another, without having to pull all the leads apart.. Is it right for that sort of thing? Thanks for the help! Nik
