Machines

The meter on the MAG rises/decays slower than the ABM. End of useless info .

I'm sure a contra-deal on advertising will mean no money changing hands.[/quote] Well go along and see if you recognise some faces - me and ped will be there on a top secret mission !

Yeah definitely of questionable heritage. I think he should contact Fodera to check the serial and find the original owner !

Luke - I nearly went for that Bacchus after it was offered for my Ray - went for the Lakland 55-02 in the end since I already have a Jazz. How's it sound ?

I find mine to work fairly well, if it does clip then I do hear distortion. I try and make sure the hardest I can play a note will just about be under +2dB. Of course it all changes as soon as I change any EQ settings on the head or my bass.

I use mine quite a lot. Like people have already said - you change it between songs when some need the presence and some just want to be some solid fundamental.

Where are you from ?! You'll have to be a bit more indepth that that ! Tell us about your gear !

It'll end up being about 20% more than what you expected when you add in VAT and the handling charge. Plus any problems and you'll have a major pain in the rear to content with trying to send it back..

Where do I buy Mark King ?!

Linkage ?!

Why is he in his pants ? . Certainly a talented player - but definitely annoying. He reminds me of Jack Black in School of Rock..

Jamiroquai - Runaway (Got stuck in my head and HAD to get it down).

The forum will auto-resize images over a certain size to prevent them taking up the whole page and having to scroll around to see it all.

The bass is by far the best bit . Must be the Buzzard you're using there ? Seriously classy Entwistle tone... sounds a bit like the Who until the singer pipes up .

Sounds pretty good !

Were the EMG pickups active (seperate to the preamp) ? If so then it could be an issue for the preamp, if not then go for it.

A brave man Ill also add, that Overwaters, some Sei's, AKG's, also don't ever get me thinking about having one.[/quote] Well I think i've only offended 4 of our moderating team with that comment ! Yep those names are ones to bundle in for me, and it's ACG .

I've so far been underwhelmed by Shuker basses. Sure - they're nicely made and sound nice but I just can't get excited about them at all. Lots of people are obsessed with them on here, and i'm really not understanding them. I suppose the same can be said for some other UK custom makers so it isn't just Shuker..

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='273844' date='Aug 31 2008, 05:15 PM']I was just talking about the heads I use an Ashdown 4X10 with my Trace no complaints[/quote] When I use my ABM as a preamp only (headphones) it sounds quite different to through my cab - this leads me to believe the cabs are introducing the colouring rather than the amps themselves. I need to get it running through a 'clean' cab and see how different it is.

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='273304' date='Aug 30 2008, 07:15 PM']Look at what Nick (NiceGuyHomer) has said about his![/quote] His name isn't Nick ! .

My bed.. or the amp itself sometimes.

Yeah thinking about it they probably are 2 x jack. My EB180 was like so and the only differences between that and the MAG are the power stage and colour of paint.

Nice soft tone.. think Sting and you're close ! You may find you might not need to replace the pickup - try one with an open mind that they might be sounding good already ! I know the Squier Telebass sounds fantastic as it is.
