If any of you disgruntled La Bella owners want to sell, let me know... :-) I agree with a comment above... All to often, live sound engineers just don't know what to do with flats. They EQ them like rounds, and you end up with mud. It's frustrating.

[quote name='TheBear' post='1338594' date='Aug 13 2011, 11:31 AM']Actually, i was thinkingthe same as you, but i have to admit that my tests made me change my mind. I tried the PP & other P-Bass (same amps), and (in my hears), the PP has something more. I found it a deeper in the bass range.[/quote] Were the strings and setup of the other basses the same as the Pino? That would be a fair comparison.

I'm fairly immune to neck profiles..

I like Guy, as a storyteller and a bass player. FWFW, here's what he said: [quote]Learning the Blockheads set for gig Saturday..Bass heaven!! Oh Norman I am not worthy..[/quote] He knows they're big shoes to fill.

[quote name='eude' post='1336233' date='Aug 11 2011, 11:15 AM']+1 Amazing little bit of kit. Probably to most versatile, reliable and affordable combo doing the rounds at the moment. The removable amp head keeps up with most of the current crop of 500W class D amp heads out there too. I won't be without mine for the foreseeable! Eude[/quote] +2. Of course, a lot is going to depend on your requirements....

[quote name='Robert Manning' post='1335218' date='Aug 10 2011, 04:03 PM']Oh yeah I suppose it is! Why is the bridge so far forward though?! Bit of an uninspiring eBay ad for such an expensive bass. Why would someone sell a new custom guitar though?[/quote] Why would someone criticise an eBay ad without checking the facts first? Just sayin'.

For the Blockheads' gig at Cropredy on Saturday.. Guy Pratt, apparently.

It's legit - that's where the bridge is on the Custom Classics.

By ear.

Lovely, lovely flats. Anyone who says flats do nothing but thump should get acquainted with one little word - mids.

FlatEric - can you hack into CK's account and change his avatar to something else, please? That goat keeps sending me subliminal messages to hurt people.

I imagine they'll sell all 30 no problem.

Excellent! Nice feeling, isn't it? North-East of England, or Scotland?

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1327988' date='Aug 4 2011, 11:09 PM']not the most encouraging of feedback lol! well i guess you can call it a piezo... its half a pbass pickup underneath the bridge lol[/quote] Under the bridge? Zoiks... Nah, it's not the one I had. I'm sure with decent electrics in there it'll do the job...

I used to own one identical to this... maybe even the same one? Anyway, it was a backup for my other Bassix EUB... but it was a completely different beast and I was never happy with it. Is there a piezo anywhere on it?

[quote name='twowheeledwriter' post='1327340' date='Aug 4 2011, 04:36 PM']Great song - hadn't heard it before. Lovely tone. Thanks for sharing.[/quote] Isn't it? I'm doing some recording at the mo, and I'm going to ask the engineer to make me sound just like that.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='1326565' date='Aug 4 2011, 10:08 AM']Exactly. Some people find the TC amps sound very loud to them because the APM does its stuff in a way that's pleasing to their ears - I know I wouldn't because I don't like that kind of compression etc[/quote] This may - or may not explain why I didn't get on with the TC more than I did... it seemed overly compressed and saggy to my ears. Whereas the Streamliner was instant punchy SHAZAM. Of course, the next post will be to point out that that the Streamliner employs similar management technology to the TC, and I'm going to look stupid. Whatever the reason, the TC just sounded odd to me. That said, plenty of other people who heard it thought it was great.

[quote name='risingson' post='1326307' date='Aug 3 2011, 11:24 PM']It's just the comment led me to believe you were a little irate at my point of view. No harm intended of course![/quote] I'm not irate - you made a point and I agreed with it.

You're making stuff up again....
