How could I forget this? The whole album is a masterclass in clank! http://youtu.be/1UbkDzp5LuY

This is the best thing ever.

I bought one after hearing the 'poor man's Rickenbacker' description countless times... It isn't. It does clangy, trebly tones very well but it doesn't sound like a Rick IMHO. Still, a superb bass, and one I regret selling, but as Old Horse Murphy already mentioned, so many knobs and switches to mess around with I could never settle.

Oh, and this eleven minutes of pure joy: http://youtu.be/snwZ36EH6L4

My choices (apart from the obvious Rush/Yes selections): http://youtu.be/ShQm_2yRr1E http://youtu.be/ORsduKShmv4 http://youtu.be/A_5uYMamLzI http://youtu.be/0bdcnysXhHU And loads more I'll probably remember later.

Can I have a go? Edit: Is that one of the long scale EBs?

[quote name='eude' timestamp='1394036131' post='2387201'] Not managed to get everything altogether in one place yet, life is a bit complicated at the moment and I was waiting for Roqsolid to send out the "Powerbag" I ordered so I could carry the cabs back from work on the train. They're compact and very light, but still not much fun on public transport or walking anything over a mile. Anyway, I got one home last night and had a quick blast this morning. The build quality is top notch, very solid indeed, especially the head, wonderfully finished and sturdy. Through headphones the amp sounds quite modern but can get quite dirty, when you dial the gain back its almost hifi, but taking it up to overdriving it sounds lovely, dirty and punchy without being too spiky if that makes sense? The gain circuit is designed to overdrive nicely rather than clip, would be cool if it was switchable, but I do appreciate the simple and uncluttered design of this little amp. Through the one cab, its not quite as "surprisingly huge for the size" as the Promethean running flat, but having said that its a very nice noise, just not quite as bassy. You can dial all that in however using the thankfully simple 3 band EQ. There's also a lot of volume on tap, seemingly more than the Promethean. If all goes well, I'll get the second cab home tonight and give the whole thing a go tomorrow morning. I reckon two of these cabs will be pretty powerful and the whole modular thing should give me everything I could need for a little while. I'll be back once I've had a plonk through the whole rig.

Also look out for Who's Next, Metallica, and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Updates?!?! I'm itching to hear how this rig performs...

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1393402173' post='2379696'] Fanned frets took five minutes to get used to No biggie [/quote] This. I played one at the bass show last year, a fiver with a low F#, and it was astounding. Alas, the basic tone of the instrument left me cold - not a fault of the bass, just not to my taste. Sheldon Dingwall is a top fellow though, we had quite a natter.
