[quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1331466215' post='1573110'] I'm guessing it's an active? I've never really got on with actives. The ones I've owned sounded a bit artificial and keyboardy. And I've had trouble with their high output distorting things in signal chains. I am, however, prepared to be persuaded otherwise. It's a beaut. [/quote] Nah... 100% passive. :-)

[quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1331464481' post='1573048'] Nice, what is it? [/quote] Fender Roscoe Beck. Both pups in single-coil mode, you have a Jazz. Solo the neck, and switch it to series, near-as-damn-it P. Both in series is just ridiculous. Laahvley.

My search ended with this...

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1331306148' post='1571151'] TBH, they had me at [i]'explode the traditional mixer/outboard gear paradigm'[/i]. [/quote] To be fair though, all of Rush's lyrics are a bit flaky.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1331330995' post='1571667'] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T88fbHOmvRk[/quote] This song is ruined by the worst lead guitar I've heard on any song ever. It makes my toes curl...

[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1331057387' post='1567004'] Nice breathy vocal & the bass sounds up my street. Site looks good too. I'm guessing the drummer's not from Hounslow? [/quote] Thank you! Hounslow...? (I have the feeling I'm missing something here )

It sounds like he's suffering from watery pumps.

He's on here. PM 'the bass doc'.

Thanks, all!

Dunno who he is, but I knew I'd already seen [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/169966-ronnie-montrose-rip-age-64/page__view__findpost__p__1565233"]a thread about him[/url]..

Hi all! A little while ago I spotted an ad for a singer songwriter who needed a band. I wasn't really looking for something, but I heard a couple of her songs and I was hooked. Somehow I've found the time between other stuff, got a couple of friends on-board, and we've now got an originals and a cover set rehearsed up. Here's our website: [url="http://www.rosieandthehips.co.uk/"]http://www.rosieandthehips.co.uk/[/url] ..and here's one of our songs, recorded at a recent acoustic gig: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THJ22v5cLmg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THJ22v5cLmg[/url] I'm looking forward to getting out-and-about with this one.

Semi-professional, more than one band. I don't practice much, but I didn't get the chance to choose that. :-)

Yay Howard! He rocks.

[quote name='hemispheresX' timestamp='1330696695' post='1561768'] Test for echo was a wicked album!!! Virtuality and limbo are two of my favourite rush songs!!! Such a shame they didnt include them on the live album from that tour. People who dont have bootlegs will never hear how good they sounded live... [/quote] [url="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rush+virtuality"]Fill yer boot(legs)....[/url] Virtuality is a terrible song, IMO...

[quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1330682395' post='1561369'] is '71 your YOB by any chance, or just coincidence you have those 3?? Just asking because it's also mine. [/quote] It's coincidence.. I'm a '72 vintage. Technically though, I suppose I began to exist in '71...

I'm in! L-R: 1971 Precision, 1971 fretless Precision, Roscoe Beck IV, 1971 Jazz. By the way, I'm happy to note the use of the word 'settee' on this thread, rather than 'couch' or 'sofa'. I approve.

Lots of Streamliner love here. Remember, one of the keys to this amp is never to be afraid to roll the lows off...

The Ventures bass was a MIJ special edition... A different kettle'o'fish to this one. :-)

There's a line / mic level selector on the back.

[quote name='leroydiamond' timestamp='1329842164' post='1548337'] Cannot agree. A mate of mine, a very experienced bass player purchased an. R.H 450 rig last year and continues to comment on the lack of volume. [/quote] Despite not getting on with the RH450 dynamically, I never had a problem with a lack of volume. If anyone has problems with volume, I'd ask them to make sure they've done a factory reset and ensure the patch volume is maxx'd. It might not be the case for your mate, but I'm sure there will have been instances where people will have tried it in the shop etc. and written it off because the patch volume was set really quiet..

For me, the ratings issue that subsequently came to light kind-of explained what I didn't like about the head. It all made sense. But, some people really like it, and that's fine.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1329837889' post='1548226']Most of the the complaining on TB came from the hobbyists who were more interested in stats than the actual performance of the amp in a live situation if I recall correctly. [/quote] I'll try not to be offended. FWIW, I thought there was something 'odd' about my RH450 and sold it way before any of this came to light.
