My new home practice and small gig rig. A step away from EBS, I needed something I could carry and had a solid fat finger tone for acoustic funk gigs. This whole rig fits into a EA backpack and off I go! Damn sight better sounding than most mini practice combo's too... MarkBass LittleMark 250 EA Wizzy 10 Shep

Had a chat with Bernie this afternoon. A few delay's took place due to the temperature in the spray shop not being suitable for the poly laquer... this has now been sorted, and after a 2nd trip to the spray shop to get the finish exactly as we discussed, the bass is back with Bernie and having the final assembly done as we speak... Bass should be with me as soon as the temperature deems it suitable to be in the back of a couriers van, OR I can find a way to get down to Brighton (If anyone fancies a road trip, let me know!!!). I've been promised a pic later or tomorrow so watch this space

[quote name='cetera' post='1065807' date='Dec 21 2010, 03:48 PM']The more recent stuff maybe.... but you can'tt deny the quality of the older EV loaded 'Diesel' cabs ...[/quote] [quote name='Chris2112' post='1065842' date='Dec 21 2010, 04:02 PM']Well, they wouldn't be the top of my "to own" list, Cetera...[/quote] They were badass though.

I have to agree with Dood here... Definately the easiest, cheapest and most effective way of achieving what you want without filling your signal chain with more technology than you can shake a stick at

The Ashdown won't give you the grunt of the mini Ampeg, or the same amount of volume, but for the money its an AWESOME amp. Even better would be to buy this one [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112388"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112388[/url] Bargain! I had one for a while. Its light, compact and loud enough for small acoustic gigs or those without a loud drummer or guitarist. One of the best practice room amps about. Shep

Mark is a very knowledgable chap who is a pleasure to deal with. I've dealt with Bass Direct on many occasions and I'd never say Mark would deliberately talk over anyone. I'm sure Mark himself will agree that he does get a 'little' passionate about his products when he gets going (which I must add is a good thing!) and he does know a good bass tone. As such he will often point people towards alternate products if he thinks they would be worth you trying before commiting to a large purchase... and he is a fan of those Berg's. Nice to see this has already come to a positive result

[quote name='TomTFS' post='1063576' date='Dec 19 2010, 02:56 PM']I wish I could afford one. Just want the LPF as I'm not entirely getting on with my FM4.[/quote] Different beast though. Depends what you use the FM4 for. The Moog LPF can do envelope filter/wah... But IMO not as well as my 3Leaf Groove Regulator. The LPF however, is the swell master... Its key for Super dub and synth tones.

[quote name='Dread Bass' post='1062369' date='Dec 18 2010, 12:25 PM']Yeah I am so excited about it. I love the overall simplicity aesthetically. I have always fancied a ramp and the lyminlays seem so cool. Have you heard about them yet? You basically shine a little torch on the side dots and they will illuminate for like half an hour [/quote] Yeah Robbie @ RIM is using them going forward. He posted some pics in his build thread recently in the affilates forum. He discovered them just after finishing my Marseer though. Doh. They are pretty funky.

Yeah, the bass has an active tone control, the pull control bypasses that and switches the bass to flat EQ'd Passive

[quote name='MythSte' post='1061977' date='Dec 17 2010, 08:10 PM']With all due respect Mr Cat, someones opinion on how it looks is wholly educated and justified! I wont buy a bass I dont like the looks of. Regardless of whether or not the functionality in some way accounts for it.[/quote] +1 to that. Functionality and sound are key, but if an instrument is unattractive then I wouldn't give it 2nd thought. There are lots of instruments out there. Find one that ticks all the boxes. Thankfully I find the 'odd' appearance of Dingwall's to be pretty cool!

I've ordered from them. It was sent the following day and arrived a day later via courier. Well packaged in a proper box. Set up was great where action was concerned and had definitely been checked over. The intonation was shocking though, it was miles out so I had to set the bass up again. No big deal as I've always wanted to set up a bass 'for me' when I've bought it. In my experience they have been the best online retailer to buy an instrument from. Shep

Love the board dude. This bass is going to rock!

Keith made the journey to Nottingham today in light of us trading his EA Wizzy & LM250 for my Ibanez Ashula bass. Keith's a top bloke, very friendly and very knowledgable. Please to meet you and I hope you enjoy the bass! All the best, Shep

[quote name='phil.i.stein' post='1059081' date='Dec 14 2010, 10:24 PM']that's a beauty of a board Shep ! i may just have to pay another visit to Nottingham soon..[/quote] Anytime dude. That goes for anyone really!

My Drum & Bass project moved into our new rehearsal space tonight. Got my gear set up so it's just plug in and play... Board hasn't changed too much, but the application of expression pedals etc is a little different and it's powered more efficiently now. The space on the board should of been filled with my Myrtle Effects Corvid Fuzz.
