    Incredible, incredible concert. I was nearly in tears during Raven. And a remarkable sound too. I also bumped into Steve Hackett, dressed in what appeared to be a bearskin, and Tony Levin. Sadly I couldn't think of anything to say so I shuffled away embarrassed.

    Excellent, Celestion-loaded 2x10, and very lightweight. Unsure of the ohmage - will confirm and update when I know. for certain. I picked this up on here a few months ago from 2Tribes, who himself purchased it new from Zoot, and I've hardly used it as it's just too powerful for bedroom practice. Here's a link to 2Tribes' original for sale thread with pics: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/212972-zoot-600w-2x10-bass-cab-for-sale/page__p__2154143__hl__zoot__fromsearch__1#entry2154143"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2154143[/url] It's in exactly the same condition as when I got it - excellent and in full working order. You may notice half of the Zoot logo has fallen off (as you can see in the pics), so it's now a unique 'Zo' custom cab No trades at the moment, thanks. Collection preferred, or I could deliver within a reasonable distance - I'm in Dartford, Kent, just off the M25. UPDATE - I'm still not sure of the ohmage, and don't know how to confirm what it is so I'm open to offers on this cab. I really do need the space!

    Tempting but so far away!

    Custom Alembic Series bass, with elaborate neck inlay and Omega body cut with pistol grip horns. And, if money truly is no object, I'll take an 8 string version to boot.

    What's the overdrive like on these new Mags?

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1382134364' post='2248651'] Something similar at the beginning of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93o_cUhhBfI [/quote] Now, that was amazing.

    Impressive, but I get the vacuum cleaner reference... Couldn't make out three notes though.
  8. Cosmo Valdemar
    That is a bonkers headstock.

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1381939916' post='2245802'] Yes, is the song being played on the radio at the moment a new one? If so, I really like it and am glad that for one they`re back and for two that they`re putting out quality material again. Answering my own question, yes, the new album will be out soon, and this, Two Worlds Collide is the new song: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCKJVDxTr04[/media] [/quote] I should have known Holland would pop up somewhere... And Chas seems to be gradually turning into Jeff Lynne.

    [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1381914172' post='2245225'] What about a 12 string bass? Waterstone TP12. [/quote] As a trade?
  11. Cosmo Valdemar
    Is that the same bass I saw on FB but with a red tort scratchplate? It looks better with the white.
  12. Cosmo Valdemar
    Bump!

    I saw them last week. A good show, not quite as great as when I saw them the previous year, but Thijs was having problems with his organ (oo er). Pierre Van Der Linden is just awesome.

    [quote name='Green Alsatian' timestamp='1381344750' post='2237976'] Here's a demo of the new model: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6qtQCC1w9c[/media] [/quote] Nice pedal demo...

    [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1381775694' post='2243619'] Far better than reload. The question that will always hang over this album; why did lars insist on recording the drums in the kitchen with frying pans? [/quote] I actually quite like the drum sound... It's weird, the whole production seems to even out as the album goes on... Frantic sounds bizarre, but All Within My Hands is almost normal. That aside, I genuinely believe the songs are excellent (Invisible Kid aside) - probably the most honest album they've ever made, a real primal expression.

    I love St Anger... Seriously. One day, it will be understood.

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1377964825' post='2194183'] Nice video here of SW on tour recently. This is probably my favourite track from the last album. Nick Beggs on bass and Adam Holzman on keys, great band ! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZtZIUgY0IM&feature=c4-overview&list=UU-9mlH6az1Q_XUP3fw1N4Fg[/media] [/quote] Beautiful song... I'm going to the RAH show, sometime this month... Can't remember exactly when though...

    I'm not a huge fan of Jazzes, but this is so gorgeous, I'm tempted to stray...

    [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1381356574' post='2238157'] So, what's that bass, and what's making that massive tone. [/quote] It's a custom Alembic, running in stereo through (I believe) Sunn amps. So, you've got the bridge pickup trebly and nicely distorted, and the neck pickup running fat and warm. I've actually got an Alembic savings fund going on - at my current rate, I should be able to order one when I'm 50.

    [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1381353424' post='2238122'] Thanks man! See below [/quote] Wow.
  21. Cosmo Valdemar
    That's probably my ultimate bass tone right there.
  22. Cosmo Valdemar
    Another vote for the poor old Epiphone Thunderbird from me I'm afraid... Weighed nothing, felt like playing a toy bass. And such a dead tone... I will point out this was one of the reverse models that Epiphone still make today. I had previously owned the non-reverse model, with PJ pickups, and it was a great instrument.

    I once bought a BC Rich Ironbird from my local CC... It was up for about £100 odd, but I was concerned with the bow in the neck. The chap in the shop clearly had no idea about guitars, had a bit of a panic and offered it to me for £40. It turned out he had tuned it comically high - once tuned correctly the neck straightened right out! Test the waters, see if the chap in your branch knows his stuff - if not, slyly suggest the bass is junk and see what discount you can get.

    I can't watch the video (I'm at work) but Tom used to play a BC Rich Wave bass, and a Hill custom, before switching to ESPs.
