Played a gig last night, didn't use my backline, used the bass rig of the next band it was a 4x10 with a fender baseman head. Got loads of comments about my bass sound! All were very good, the key ones being "that is the sound for this band" the rig lacked headroom as we are loud, butit did growl! I use an ebs td650, known for it's high end, accurate sound, so maybe it's time to change! I was already thinking of aggie db750, will that do it? Maybe stay with ebs and go for a fafner? Recomendations please!!! Tony

Toasted is spot on, the price is a used Stage 1 makes these basses a great buy, I always liked the neck thru warwick necks over the bolt ons and the stage 1 for me has it all, great neck, nice balance and a great sound, plus they look great Slightly more quirky is a neck thru dolphin, I had a five string, look at the price of these new, you can pick them up for less than 1K, they cut thru like no other bass i've owned. I love warwicks would have a stage 1 tomorrow, but it doesn't fit with what I'm doing right now and there is still some "relevant GAS" to be sorted T

Great idea, but too many moving bits for me, i swap between fretless and fretted jazzes during a gig, that works well, i like things simple, less things to go wrong and drop you in the sh*t Tony

Any news on these, i just spotted them today and the lined fretless looks ideal for an acoustic thing my band are doing? Tony

Oooops, got it wrong, its next thursday! T

Back at it now :-) Manchester - Thirsty scholar, Thursday 22/04/2010 More dates to come Tony

Intresting rehersal last night, we got some acoustic gigs coming up, so started to work on that set. Instead of my regular practice rig (TD650 + one of my 4x10's) I played through a tiny Mark Bass combo, I'm only playing fretless on this set and was very impressed with the tone it gave my fretless. I tweaked the VPF and it sounded great. My EBS rig is fantastic sounding with my fretted basses and does a great job with my fretless, but the MB VPF added a nice touch. I see they now do it in pedal form, has anyone tried it and are there any other similar filters out there? Cheers Tony

Like the roscoe! I dropped my TD 650 to the bottom of a 4U rack and got a vented plate to fit above it. The 1U space is great for the power lead, 2 speakon cables and two coiled leads! Tony

Nice joe, pity you ain't round these parts anymore ! Tony

Yeah, gonna do a family shot when it arrives! ere's another of the LPB Jazz

Will complement my CS jazz nicley I think!
