SHAZAM!

Hey Bill! Welcome....

These are a great, well-respected band up in the here in the North East, and it would be a great gig for anyone. I'd fancy a go myself but unfortunately most of the gigs are just too far over on the wrong side of the river for me... Good luck in the hunt!

They're sorted now. Not me, unfortunately... I couldn't get an EUB sorted in time.

It's flying along for me... unless I try and view a BC-hosted attachment. They're taking forever to pop up.

How are you getting on with the Eminence? Enjoying it?

A bit OT, but.. has anyone tried deep-fat-frying one of these?

What price was he asking...?

This thread is awesome and it hasn't even started yet.

My turn now... anyone selling a fixed-neck 4-string Eminence? Unlikely I know...

[quote name='JamieBenzies' post='1305378' date='Jul 16 2011, 12:40 AM']I'll let everyone know how it goes and post the appropriate feedback.[/quote] If it doesn't work out and you want to move it on, drop me a PM.

Oh, FFS... I've been looking for one of these for ages!

Awesome! Nothing snake oil about it - on a bad stage, it REALLY helps.

[quote name='ern500evo' post='1304803' date='Jul 15 2011, 03:14 PM']Hey guys, I'd more or less decided that my next amp head would be an Ampeg SVT3-pro, i've played through one before and thought it ticked all the boxes. However, when i mentioned this to a bass playing friend of mine his response was "Do yourself a favour and keep your eyes out for a second hand Warwick tubepath 5,1, i've owned both and given the choice now i'd take the Warwick every time, it does everything the SVT3 does and more". So, have any of you guys owned/used one, and is he right, are they that good? The sticking point could be that used Tubepath's are like rocking horse s**t! Not that i'm in any drastic hurry, i'd need to shift some gear on first anyway. So, opinions please ladies and gentleman![/quote] I had a 10.1. Very nice amp... very loud, nice EQ. It has a 'proper' tube pre like the Mesa stuff (and, I believe, the Genz Streamliner). Things to be aware of - It's heavier than Jupiter, and IME it's quite dark sounding in character. You could probably EQ that out, though. (Incidentally, a year or two on, my search has ended at the Streamliner. It eclipses every amp I've had, which also includes a SVT-3pro).

Lovely.. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=144599"]done already, though[/url]!

[quote name='NJE' post='1303351' date='Jul 14 2011, 11:43 AM']Does anyone have a copy of 'The Fender Bass an illustrated history'? I have one somehwere and am 99% sure that in there is a 'prodcution' Precision with sunburst body and blocked maple neck. Not saying they made it for long but I think they did make it, whether it was made in the 70's is another thing, i will dig the book out tonight.[/quote] There's a black one with a white guard, and blocks. P w/blocks was never a production model... unfortunately.

[quote name='arthurhenry' post='1301953' date='Jul 13 2011, 09:23 AM']Bob Carolgees' fretless playing is awesome - a unique left hand technique.[/quote] +1. What a tone... it really barks.
