Certainly made me smile! Looks like that's in Skelmersdale.

Hi Rich. I believe it's the Tone Pump Jnr. with treble/bass boost only. This bass is so lovely! Now to await my DHA pedal and next pay day so I can buy a BBE OptoStomp and then I'm all set!

+1, well done on everyone involved in sorting out the whole thing. *hands round virtual pints/water/whatever your poison is*

All I can say is: *fap fap fap* [attachment=16559:Photo_2.jpg] [attachment=16560:Photo_3.jpg] I don't have a decent camera, and I really don't think a camera could even capture the beauty of the finish on this bass. I can't put it down. Big thanks to Darren and Chris at Bass Merchant :wub: :wub:

HAD to go for the red (pic stolen from a TB topic): Should be with me tomorrow, although I'm working 9-5. I'm sure it'll be a slow day

On my own: With the band:

Now to add the agonizing choice between the red or blue quilt. *enters GAS dilemma*

Good news, I have now sold my iMac, and having played a Legend 5 again, I'm in no doubt as to what I'll buy! I think I'm in love! Will post some pictures when I get it for those who are interested

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='335135' date='Nov 23 2008, 08:48 PM']Solid song writing, solid professional perfofrmances from all concerned (except the cameraman!). A good set, karl. Well done.[/quote] Thanks for the positive comments! I think the camera work (we all shared the responsibility) was just a spur of the moment thing, or just bits randomly shot; we saw it as the best medium to get across the previews of the new songs we included. Thanks again.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='332075' date='Nov 19 2008, 08:50 AM']I thought the same as you Kev, but having said that, my amp does have a loop, as well as a preamp out and poweramp input. You wouldn't have both if there was no difference at all?[/quote] The Peavey TKO I'm using is the same, and using either of them doesn't let me use the master volume as a control (volume depends entirely on the output from whatever is going into the poweramp)

Hey all, thank you for all the suggestions. I've decided to go with a Spector Legend 5 in Dark Cherry. Again, thanks for all the input, now I just have to sell my damn iMac so I can afford to buy it!

In the coming weeks I'll be after a new bass (if and when I manage to get my iMac sold, see sig ), and I'm giving myself up to around £400 to spend. I'm after a bass that gives a nice smooth tone, but also the option of a bit of treble for a couple of more upbeat numbers my band does (again, see sig if you wanna have a listen and maybe make suggestions from that). I really like Mike Kroegers tone, especially in some of the slower Nickelback numbers ('Photograph' and 'Someday' come to mind). I know Mike uses Spector but they're a bit out of the price range. It'll be run into a BBE OptoStomp and a DHA VT1-EQ-Bass-Drive. I have my eye on the Ibanez SR505, and that comes in at just a fraction under £400. I could get a Warwick Rockbass Corvette 5 for £400 too. A really nice B string is a must as I have a few stand out notes in some of our new songs, and I really need a nice B. Let the suggestions fly! Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='330921' date='Nov 17 2008, 07:16 PM']isn't plugging the dha into the effects return effectivly the same as running straight into a power amp?[/quote] D'oh! Yes it is! I blame the lack of food... I'm just thinking in terms of getting a bigger rig together, and was hoping to be able to just buy a power amp (Behringer/Peavey) and get a 410 cab etc, and run straight from the DHA to a power amp.

I've just ordered myself a DHA VT1-EQ-Bass-Drive, and was just wondering how everyone else hooked theirs up to an amp? I feel the most logical solution would be to plug straight into the FX return/power amp in of the Peavey TKO115 I'm using at the moment, and just wondered if everyone else did this? Or does anyone else plug into the normal input of the amp and have a flat EQ, or perhaps run straight into a power amp (Is the DHA capable of driving a power amp, if so, that certainly makes a bigger rig in the future a lot easier?)? Cheers, Karl.

+1 on the Zoom. I used to plug it into my laptop with a USB cable, and then I played along with songs/backing tracks played on the laptop, all through headphones. Very handy, hoping to get a similar setup with the DHA pedal I've just ordered!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='329478' date='Nov 14 2008, 11:24 PM']Great bass for the money. Period.[/quote] +1

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='329429' date='Nov 14 2008, 09:53 PM']Blimey! That's over 250 miles as a round trip!!! Incredible service... Nice bass btw..[/quote] What can I say, I like driving! Peace of mind for me too, knowing it's there in one piece.

Glad you're enjoying it already mate! [Edit] Forgot to mention, I think the original plastic coating from the factory may be on the rear cover to the electronics!

A +1 here for the Ibby SR506. Was thinking of getting it myself and had a play on one. Absolutely wonderful to play, didn't feel too much like an ironing board.
