  1. I've only ever had the jam ripply fall so I'm not sure how it compares to others but I use it for a cover of '24 hours' by Joy Division. I have it on about half way, with the speed on about halfway too. It gets way too wobbly if its on full, I'd probably start feeling seasick.
  2. Moderators, please ban anyone mentioning ABBA songs in this thread
  3. Nothing else matters - Metallica Just pipped to the post by LeftyJ so... Rape Me - Nirvana
  4. the flight of the bumblebee - Rimsky-Korsakov
  5. On checking the Seymour Duncan website I notice the Classic stack on page 1 and you are correct sir, they are noiseless. I did like the short clip (with SVT cab sim) and I'm tempted. Do you have them in a Jazz? Or did you just swap the bridge pup out of a BB or another PJ?
  6. I'm after a noise cancelling pup. From their website, it appears they only have 2 noise cancelling pups, the 'Apollo' and the 'Hot Stack'. would you have either of these?
  7. Has anyone swapped out the bridge pup for a noise cancelling single coil? I really love the tone of the bridge pup on my BB434 soloed but I then have to put up with the hum, which I really don't like. I am thinking of getting a single coil shaped noiseless pup but don't want a change in tone. I've listened to one by Seymour Duncan online, its near but not quite, at least that's what my ears tell me. Anyone done this?
  8. I have two practise set ups at home. In one room I have a Fender Rumble 15, which I almost always use with headphones, and often the aux in comes in handy too. It doesn't sound great but its a practise set up, it's good enough for that. In another room I have a one10 cabinet and a small head, in my case its the Trace Elliot Elf and the Barefaced one10. This sounds much better and both bits could be used for gigging, should that be necessary. This rig isn't too loud at all and with all the EQ flat, it doesn't get boomy in the room its in. Both set ups work well for their intended purposes. The Fender Rumble has a headphone out and Aux in, which are important for practising. The Trace Elliot Elf has the headphone out but no Aux in. I have to use the aux in on a pre amp pedal for this function if I need it. The Markbass and Ashdown would be a great little rig but the Markbass has neither headphone out nor aux in, so bear that in mind. A different small head with both these features may be more suitable for a mini practise rig. I would always go for a separate head and cab because the separate parts could be swapped out for something else if necessary, like keeping the head but using a second or larger cabinet for a live performance. And if your amp dies, you just need to change the head, not the whole thing.
  9. I tried one in Peach guitars in Essex. I can't remember which model it was but it was black and was a fingerprint magnet. I was put off by how light it was, it felt like a toy. I know many people with back issues would have loved it though.
