[quote name='Mzungu71' post='693648' date='Dec 26 2009, 12:10 PM']Post Christmas bump[/quote] thats a lovely bit of kit but i too have nothing to trade :-( unless your interested in genesis push irons lol.. -
errrrrrr.. wanted something lighter than me flightcased svt classic..so thinking was if its that good buy it then flog the ampeg.. so...i bought one from live music in peterborough, for a very reasonable £450, with its fabbo padded flightbag. in the shop it sounded awesome, like the unholy bastard child of a first gen point to point wired hiwatt and early ampeg ....had to have it at the gig that night it was plenty loud enough, but just didnt deliver the bottom end of me all valve ampeg..which was to be expected really. Dont think me mesa cab helped being a Ev loaded 4x10, there aint many amps can tame the bugger, a 2x15 may have made a world of difference but i aint got one.. if i was in a financial position to have it as a second amp would have undoubtably kept it, but can only afford one, so the ampeg stayed, and the orange went back to the shop next day. fantastic little amp. far better value for money than my ampeg was all those years ago.....but i guess i'll have to grow old (older)with the heavy 'un

love my Ev loaded diesel 4x10 cab to bits, paired to me SVT classic best fourbeeten ive ever heard IMHO. weighs a bleeding ton and then some, especially as mine is flightcased, but can just about lift/slide it into the back of the van on me todd. no pain no gain...

making a chinese bass sound like an american one...

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='690079' date='Dec 20 2009, 07:42 PM']I agree with Mr. Foxen in that I usually tackle the bridge first when upgrading instruments. Pickups next. Bear in mind that if you are trying to replicate a much loved bass this is near impossible. If you simply wish to raise the game of the weaker instrument this is much more realistic. I wasn't that impressed with the handful of HWY1 instruments I tried but I know there is a lot of love for them. It could be that you've got a particuarly good one[/quote] ...or dodgy fifty year old ears... -
making a chinese bass sound like an american one...
ogri replied to ogri's topic in Repairs and Technical
good advice mate...is the badass bridge that much better? have tried altering the relief in the neck so the action is higher and the strings twang bassier acoustically but still cant get the deep bass tone the highway has [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='689951' date='Dec 20 2009, 06:09 PM']If you are really curious, get yourself some hardware swapping in to find where the tone is. I reckon the Badass is a major. Then the pickups.[/quote] -
buddy, i ran two amps for a while an after trying various expensive solutions bought a second hand roland gp8 guitar effects processor with pedal board(about a grand new back when it came out in the eighties!)for a hundred quid off me local shop and just used it as an active signal divider. worked brilliantly, and was good fun messing about with the effects when there was nothing on the telly..:-) when i sold it got me 100 sovs back too... [quote name='trent900' post='684357' date='Dec 14 2009, 07:33 PM']This is all brilliant, thank you guys. I suppose I've got a choice. Build something myself for about £160 and get exactly what I want, or just buy this: [url="http://www.altoproaudio.com/index.php?template=3&id_prod=28&id_padre=122123629051816"]Altolink[/url] I suspect it will come down to the state of the bank balance post new year! The altolink is obviously the sensible option! Thanks again guys. Jon PS. Lfalex, if you ever want rid of your SVP let me know...[/quote]

i absolutely love my highway one jazz bass, and swear it sounds better than a standard yank, or at least has the exact tone that i want. recently, i bought a squier classic vibe in white/tortoiseshell, which is a great little bass, but back to back the highway has it beaten(much as you would expect) hands down in terms of tone. highway ones are berluddy expensive now, at least 250 sovs more than mine was a few years back, so was wondering if there was a simple, straightforward way to make me classic vibe replicate thetone? visually, the highway one has its badass two bridge instead of the standard one but thats it. both got the smaller machine heads....both got alnico pick-ups but im guessing the yank ones may be better..or is it just the sum of everything( woods used, wiring etc) that makes for the sound? cheers dudes paul

[quote name='The_D' post='441652' date='Mar 22 2009, 12:42 PM']Wouldnt mind knowing this too. I have been waiting for a decent wee 2x10 for a while to pop up at 4 ohms. Definitely interested.[/quote] dimensions and weight? good grief you lot are picky..... its big enough to house two ten inch speakers packed tightly together, weighs less than a 25kg bag of cement, takes a normal jack and it presently abides with me in peterborough ..... -

[quote name='Jarhead' post='437698' date='Mar 17 2009, 07:21 PM']Haha, thanks. I saw it and just laughed my a$$ off. Not to sure about the Ashton, never heard much about those, but like you said, it's a practice amp, and I'm looking for something with real power and tonal quality, and from the little I have heard about Ashton, they aren't what I'm looking for.

selling this because we have two sets and one set is ample for every venue we do and we gotta raise dosh to upgrade pa.. "proper" rig with controller(we just use it in standalone sound to light mode which just requires plugging into the mains and noise lol) and heavy duty stand(which was the best part of 100 quid on its own!) the quality shines through on the colours that cheap colour changers just cant put out properly(ie blue) The RoboColor III offers 11 dichroic colors plus white. Strobe between adjacent colors for immediate color changing possibilities or use color splits for more psychadelic effect. Like the RobColor II, this popular color changer can be controlled by any DMX 512 or Martin RS-485 controller or can operate as a stand-alone unit using built-in programs or in a sound to light mode. The RoboColor III uses a 150W discharge lamp with a 2000 hour life expectancy. in a nutshell.. 4 lamps h/duty stand rs-485 controller all leads 150W discharge lamp 2000 hour lamp 11 colors Strobe effect DMX or stand-alone mode goes in a car easy when packed down recently re-bulbed, no issues, putting it here cheap before e bay two hundred sovs...
