It's probably just an early 80s 'parts bin' bass. That era threw up some odd combinations.

FLs.

I can't listen to the clip - is it Hawaii 5-0? The bass player was Ian Thomson, I think. Lovely chap, great player.

Yeah!

It's a shame hearing about all these hissy ones... At this moment I'm in the a conservatory having an acoustic rehearsal and, although there is a hiss, it's barely noticeable. If I turn the output up to a level where hiss is audible, the actual output of the amp at that level is deafening. You would expect hiss at that volume.

I have no experience of the TV12, but the Promethean is quite awesome...

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1331493272' post='1573748'] Agreed. But sadly lacking a pot of blend for the pick-ups. [/quote] I personally haven't missed one so far - the selector and the pull-pot do a great job.

[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. :-)
