How would I do this? Im running mine 9v and it sounds great, but Id like to hear the difference. I dont have a Diago which I think Toasted mentioned has an add on for 18v (IIRC)

Ah, that answers that one. Nice one.

Aye up, keep skirting around evil bay, something will come up. I think the Zoom is probably a great idea given what you need. I still have my first one and it served me well for getting to know what each effect did or didnt do. The thing about the expression pedal is its kinda difficult to explain what it does since it did different thing to different settings. The boss ODB-3 is a neat little pedal too (though its kinda like the Marmite of OD pedals! - hell...its even the same colours). It covers all of the basics and does subtle or extreme plus they crop up on here regularly for around £30/35.

[url="http://www.cardiffguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.cardiffguitars.co.uk/[/url] Im pretty sure you''ll find them cheaper elsewhere but the guys who run this place are good blokes and there set ups are pretty good too. I think they can order both USA and the tributes in too since they are a licensed dealer. The L2000 tribute they have in the shop is a peach.

I suppose you could really use any gear/effects/amps that you wanted. I dont think it would matter too much.

+1 for cheap jazz copies. Mine's a stunner.

Maybe a useful bargaining tool if you buy anything from there in future.

Every visit to London is a visit to Vintage & Rare. Another of London's fine museum's.

Crank it!!!!

The Spector tone on Down II is a bruiser.

Those cabs were brutal Alex....made my ears beg. The bassman in that picture is a little different to mine. Each channel has 4 dials whereas the left sided one in the photo (the 'bass' channel) only has 3. Has yours always been like that?

[quote name='bremen' post='172301' date='Apr 8 2008, 03:04 PM']The Bassman 135 is indeed a ballsy amplifier. Much louder and better sounding than the Bassman 100, which I find a bit thin.[/quote] Mine is a monster (as umcoo/chris knows). Ive been running a small patch lead to bridge the two channels and this kinda round things out a little more. Sounds great with guitar too. I managed to pick mine up for £270ish IIRC. I think it would take something serious for me to let it go. That said, the trace V4's are very highly spoken on here. If I was inclined then id try and check one out.

I was listening to Angel Dust at work today. Good times.

Go for it then. If you like the instrument and it suites your needs and budget then get it and happy playing. If you do save money on it through your school then there isnt anything stopping you further down the line getting another bass is there? Also, if you do buy it and its obvious that it isnt right then im sure whichever shop you pick it up from would let you swap it. Good luck with it.

Yeah, picked up on rolling the high off, almost to nothing at times. I was just referring to because I know where it comes from now. It reminds me a lot of an old Ibanez thrash metal pedal I have. As dirty as a student at freshers week.
