    On hold.

    I quite... errr... liked it. It was a shame it was abused.
  3. wateroftyne
    Whey aye. Feel free to stick your own strings on it. It's got some rounds on at the mo, but they're quite light. It's all I had lying around...

    Come and get it - give it a run oot :-)

    I finally got around to using the 115 in anger last night. I've avoided it so far because my 2x112's sound so good, it was hard motivating myself to try anything else. But, I had a full car last night so space was tight. I had no PA support, and the venue was a large, busy pub, so I know I needed something more than a single 12 could put out. The 115 takes less room than both the 12's, so into the boot it went. I was a bit nervy, 'cos the Walkabout only puts out around 175w into 8ohm, but I had no problems whatsoever. The 15 seems to be very efficient, and it began to roar as soon as I hit the 'bite' point on the output gain knob. Immediately bigger lows than the 12's, but still very tight. I dialled a little bit of horn in - not much 'cos I don't really like 'em - and all the notes were clear, supportive and distinct in a P-with-flats kind of way. It responded with a growl when I dug in. I was actually amazed - I had a wander out front during the soundcheck and it carried very well. We're not a loud band, but I get the feeling it would have kept on giving. Tommy says this cab will pretty much handle whatever's put into it. It's obviously far louder and bigger-sounding than a single 12. I could quite happily use this as my main cab had I not already discovered the - IMO - tonal nirvana of a pair of tweeterless TKS 12's. The horn on the 15 is a roundwound thing, and I imagine it punches and rings with clarity. It goes without saying that it's light, and can be carried short distances with one hand. The handles are perfectly placed for a two-hand lift. In fact, I'm now considering getting one of these for situations like this, where space is fairly tight and I need a big sound. We'll see...

    [quote name='GrahamT' timestamp='1388745179' post='2325432'] On stage, we were very loud, overshadowing the singer. [/quote] That's part of your problem right there. Some rooms are just terrible, and there's not a great deal you can do about it. You have to grin and bear them. Keeping the stage volume down, and letting the PA do the work will help.

    Yeah... this is pretty much my dream bass. Unfortunately, although it's not at all heavy, my back is being a PITA and is demanding something unusually light. Whoever buys this will have to deal with my jealous glare for the rest of time.

    I'll take it - PM'd.

    Cheers, Chris! Yours is a stunner - if I didn't have my '71 fretless I would have taken you up on your offer. While I'm on, here's a clip from a couple of weeks ago. Using flats, with the neck pickup solo'd in series for big, fat notes. This is just one of the sounds... it also does classic 60s J, back pickup burp and sizzly slap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRZt8AeR974

    Yum. Get that bad boy on some scales

    [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1388608171' post='2324025'] Is this bass any good for metal ? [/quote] I dunno, 'cos we don't know how heavy it is. Ba-doom tish!
  13. wateroftyne
    Lovely! A pal of mine has bought one in 3TSB. It looks fab.
  14. wateroftyne
    The weight is vitally important to those of us with dodgy backs. Anything over 8.5 lbs and I start to struggle. Unfortunately, no two trees are the same, so the 'official' weight is only a guideline. Like I mentioned in my PMs, I'm genuinely interested but I'm not going to drop 2K+ on a bass without a bit of basic info. :-) Good luck with the sale, though.
  15. wateroftyne
    Last bump of the year... will consider trades for a nice P.
  16. wateroftyne
    I'd *really* like to know the weight :-)
  17. wateroftyne
    ...and is it the Precision Pro?
  18. wateroftyne
    'Limited'... dear me.

    IME, the Sansamp is very, very coloured, and will make a remarkable range of basses sound very similar. If you like that sound, it's a Godsend.

    Mark Knopfler's band. I actually got a taste of it earlier in the year and it was every bit as awesome as I'd hoped.
  25. wateroftyne
    Beautiful! I used to own an identical one. Loved it - it was a dream to play and the pre is fantastic. Mine was very heavy, though - 9lbs is amazing for one one these! Good luck with the sale...
