I'm using two Gallien Krueger Neo 112 cabs. They are very squat and wide but when stacked vertically they make for a pretty tall rig! I've never had a volume issue with them and I've played some pretty large and cavernous halls and have John Bonham next to me on the drums.

Love that colour. Jet Harris played one just like it in The Young Ones, an image that may well have kicked off my P bass obsession... When I am next on the lookout for a Precision, I am pretty much convinced that Limelight is the way to go.

It seems I'm one of the few people on here who thinks the sound of a P bass on it's own is a thing of beauty...

Beautiful!

That is incredible! I didn't think any had made it over here!

I've played a Matt Freeman sig and it felt wonderful. Sounded good too but it was at shop volumes and to be honest I was more taken with the Fender Bassman valve monster I was playing it through! I've never owned a basswood P bass so can't comment on any tonal shortcomings but I've never noticed anything onthe ones I have tried. Not questioning your expertise of course, Lozz! However it's all academic as I think block inlays on a P neck look horrible.

[/quote] Gene can do whatever he wants with his money. However Kiss (or at least Gene and Paul) do undertake a hell of a lot of charity work.

[quote name='The Admiral' timestamp='1409362571' post='2539088'] I've missed that, but it doesn't surprise me at all. If you ever saw the reality programme - his office is a desk I n the middle of a vast space full of Kiss memorabilia and he clearly couldn't give a toss about the music - it's all about the money. [/quote] Although Gene's love of the almighty dollar is well known, to suggest he is anything but passionate about his music is unfair.

I think a bit of flop and rattle would be beneficial for that song... I reckon a 110 would do the job.

No! :-(

I would have been shocked had she been content to just play the hit singles...

I've never played one, or even seen one in a shop, but I've always liked the look of them. I think I have a soft spot for big chrome pickups. Let us know how you get on!

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1408903242' post='2534485'] Need to meet some people and get noisey again; I really struggle to play quiet music ha ha Chug chug chug chug! [/quote] Same here mate. I'm desperate for a good chug!

[quote name='sykilz' timestamp='1408900125' post='2534453'] just the most awesome passive tone, massive sounding in a rock environment. [/quote] Ain't that the truth!

Strange name for a song. How did he want them? In a jar? And how many would satisfy this bizarre desire?

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1408552233' post='2531308'] Really hating this thread now - was in London today so made a detour to Wunjo, and yes, they had the Guilds in stock- Korean, £795 inc hard case, play like a dream. I now need to sell some stuff and hand on to some gig money...... [/quote] I went to Anderton's a few months back, cash in pocket, all ready to buy the Guild Starfire bass they had in. Unfortunately the shop model left a little to be desired and they took forever getting the other one for me to try that I left empty handed. Still have major GAS for one though.
