P Pickup goes through Pearce preamp powered by Hartke HA500 and into AK115. The Pearce has clean and didtorted channels. Essentially the lows can be adjusted without affecting the highs and vice versa. Conversley to popular opinion, Sheehan says he prefers the highs through the 115, which smooths them out a bit and the lows through the 410 for a fast and sharp attack.[/quote] Thank you so much for the information. A lot of that makes so much sense. It isn't until you read it that you think, "Ahh, yes, of course" More research is needed but plenty of food for thought. Thanks again

The earlier albums he was running an SVT stack for the bass end & using Fender Twin guitar amps for the high end, splitting the frequencies from his basses (mainly a Hamer 12 string & a Fender Jazz at the time) with a crossover. This is the rig he was using when they played St. Davids Hall in 1989 (the "Gretchen goes to Nebraska" tour) & the sound was f***ing immense! Here's some info on his recent set-up: [url="http://www.12stringbass.net/master.htm?http://www.12stringbass.net/DougsRig.htm"]http://www.12stringbass.net/master.htm?htt...et/DougsRig.htm[/url][/quote] Hello mate and I hope all is well with you. Thanks so much for the info. Maybe a little extreme for what I want but fascinating stuff and I am sure ideas will spring from here. Thanks. What are you up to these days? Hopefully see you around. Take care bud.

I wonder if anyone can help me please? Apart from loving these guys as bass players, I also really love their sound. Does anyone have an information on how they get their sound? I figure there is some overdrive / distortion and chorus plus I just can't figure out what else they may have in the loop. Any help and advice would be appreciated. Cheers folks

A gorgous instrument at a great price, and Matt was a pleasure to deal with all the way. Honest and prompt communication and friendly all the way. The bass was very well packaged and was just as Matt had described it. Even threw in a couple of freebies! So thanks for a great bass and a very pleasant and easy transaction, Matt! Maybe we'll do business again in the future, who knows? ;-) Good luck with your band and recording work! Cheers, Jon[/quote] Jon, it has been so great dealing with you. The whole transaction has been an utter pleasure and I really hope we do business again one day. Enjoy the bass bass and please keep us up to date with any gigs or recording you do with it. Thank you and take care. Cheers, Matt

Just sold my Yamaha TRB6 to Jon and the transaction has been an absolute pleasure. The communication was wonderful and friendly and he also sorted out the collection from Norway.

I bought my Dingwall from Mark back in September and can only reiterate how wonderful he and Bass Direct are. He is always so courteous, helpful and knowledgeable plus the after sales care is second to none. I keep going back there for strings and will be buying another Dingwall from him later in 2011. The shop is pure "porn", I just wish I lived closer but my wallet and bank manger are pleased I don't A truly wonderful place for all your bass needs. Seriously, check it out. Thanks to Mark for being so brilliant
