[quote name='Doc B' post='575528' date='Aug 20 2009, 01:46 PM']As far as 4x10s and drowning out Marshall half stacked g&*%$rists goes, I had an incredibly loud but sweet sounding Eden Nemesis 4x10 combo for a while. That was awesome.[/quote]

I've used one of those in the past and thought it was a cracking combo.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='575113' date='Aug 20 2009, 09:08 AM']I've used those old TE 4x10" combos a lot. They're very punchy, thick midrange, nice highs. However they don't have much bottom at all - try and stick some reggae through them and they just get grindier/growlier as they overdrive. If you like that sound they're great but they're very much a one trick pony - great rock sound due to the growly midrange, shy lows and sweet but not shiny highs, plus quite a lot of natural compression.

I've never played through a Trace 4x10" combo but the '91 4x10" cab I have has enough bottom for me.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='575119' date='Aug 20 2009, 09:14 AM']Changing the speakers will save weight... but nothing significant. The superlight cabs are light due mostly to the choice of wood. If you look at manufacturers standard cabs vs neo cabs, you'll see that the wood they use is different... and thats the big weight saver.[/quote]

Cheers. I don't know a lot about amps and cabs, I suppose I should search the forum a bit more and read up.

EHX have really started to get their act together recently with all these new pedals.

I've always prefered a solid colour body to a fancy wood but recently I've been looking at the GB thread and I've been warming to them. I think I would find choosing the specs for a custom build impossible. I'm better off buying something from stock. The only thing I would be 100% on is a neck shape like the '75 RI Jazz have.

Hamster is pretty good at collecting information and storing it in his cheeks. Check out his list of luthiers [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=26654"]here[/url] as a start.

My old Trace 4X10 is heavy but it isn't THAT heavy. Certainly not the heaviest 4X10 I've lifted. I've heard that replacing the speakers with Eminence Deltas saves some weight because they have a smaller magnet. Don't hold me to that though, it could be bollocks.

Now is a great time to be buying second hand Trace stuff as well because it isn't that expensive. It's finding the room to keep it all that's the problem.

Not the first time this chap has tried to sell that bass. I've enquired about it before. He seemed nice enough.

My Series 6 AH300 isn't going anywhere. Ever.

I use the sansamp BDDI for making my passives sound a little more active. I put fuzz and distortion pedals after the Sansamp because it helps to retain the bass. It's also amazing for making a crap amp sound pretty good.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='570640' date='Aug 16 2009, 01:51 PM']Still interested in trades for something that's not a prunes&custard?[/quote]

I buckled at the pressure and bought a Prunes & Custard anyway so I'm open to offers. Ideally after a sale but there's no harm in making trade offers.

Bump

I'm in as well but I'm going to bed so will email tomorrow or Sunday.

That Sadowsky through the Aguilars sounds lovely.

Need a bigger board [/quote]

I need a bigger board as well. How's the MXR bass fuzz?

Great pic, on my monitor it doesn't look dark, doesn't look blurred and the bass looks very sexy. I like how the grain of the bass and floor seem to run into one another in places.

I'm pretty sure I've seen old Bellamy with a Roland something or other on one or two of his guitars. Sounds like quite a versatile unit to have on bass from your description.

I reckon it sounds like a ring mod with a but of fuzz.

That looks so much better without the scratchplate fitted.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='566048' date='Aug 11 2009, 05:00 PM']Unless they've shortened them since 1993, I used Elites on mine.[/quote]

They're still pretty long, I use Elites on mine.

Bought a loop pedal off Chris.

Easiest buy ever.

I can't see myself getting a bass made for me over the next decade so I'll call shot gun for first refusal if you ever decide to move it on.

If you're selling on this forum then it's probably a good idea to let mods/admin take a look.

I thought I had done this....

I sold my bass to Paul and then bought it back from him a couple of months later. Top guy.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' post='561185' date='Aug 5 2009, 02:43 PM']I don't use the Flanger[/quote]

I use my flanger to help get a really nice synthy fuzz.

I use: Animato -> WM -> Flanger -> Phase 90

Give it a go, you may be able to work it into a song somewhere. Nice board, I just got a BSW in a trade and looking forward to using it at practice tonight.

Go on then, I'll take one of the bypass loops. I'll PM you
