Lights on the BX700 look great on stage and are helpful as well. Can I be an honourary Southerner please ?

Right, I'm back, with photos up after a torrid time between laptop/Basschat/photobucket . This laptop is not long for this world. Mykesbass, changed Molan. Well Barrie, I know you live in the south, so, allowances made. I thought the statement "the back lighting is a boon on stage" kinda covered that Luke, don't think so, I have now managed to get the handbook up. Dandelion, very kind, it will be up on sale the week after next (I'm paid up until next April, so not a stealth advert ).

OK, the review is crap because I'm a muppet. THE AMP IS FAB! If anybody wants the title changing, let me know. THIS IS A FANTASTIC AMP IMHO. Got this just over a week ago, this was it's second gig. The disappointing bits. 1. It was supposed to come with a locking kettle lead, it didn't. Factory fault, the box had never been opened. 2. The EQ sliders look a little flimsy, but they aren't. Nit picking here. Live, I have used it with US Precision, US Hot Rodded Precision, and Mex FSR P/J Deluxe (passive). With the normal P, I needed to back the bass down a touch on both gigs. With the contour (mid scoop) at half (noon ) the Precision will do anything from JPJ on Zepp 1V, to 'Arry on, well, most Maiden albums. A bit of low mid cut at 200hz and a bit of boost at 1.2khz. That was told to me by a sound engineer years ago and it still helps now. I have used the compressor a tiny bit, but I'm not keen on them to be honest. This one is as good as any I've used on an amp head. I've not used the EQ sliders, don't need to. I may come across a room where they will be needed, but they are another toy for the clinically insane twiddlers. The amp makes my basses sound excellent through the B/F S12V. So far, I have only used it live in solid state mode. I have used the valve pre amp setting at home and it is a good break up, smooth, steady, warm into grit.. It's not like the horridness of original 500watt Bass Terrors where you look at the gain and it breaks up. A couple of guys had asked me to do a review, but I'm dreadful at this sort of thing. And photos . So, it works for me. It is louder, better equipped and more complex than the GK I had before it. The back lighting is a boon on stage. The settings you will see were against a miked up drummer and two loud guitarses through the pa. I wasn't. Didn't need to be. You will have different equipment and technique to me. If you have a need for a powerful and EXTREMELY versatile head, that has a myriad of eq'ing options, AND the chance to run on S/S if your pre amp valve goes tits up halfway through a gig, give this a go. A bargain, and a tremendous amp. Well done and thank you Carvin More photos later when I sort this poxy computer that is pissing me about [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0533_zps451b8e3f.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0534_zps79bcb788.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/img163_zps17429a33.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/img164_zps95366caa.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/DSCF0531_zps28f5e693.jpg.html"][/url]

Pics or it didn't happen (very well done though!)

Early 90's I had a Fenix Tele Thinline, beautiful very well made guitar. Also had a couple of P/Js over the years and they were also exceptional for the money. There is a good Fenix enthusiasts page on Faecesbook.

Carvin BX700, Barefaced S12V, 2 basses, gig bag, stands, all in The Gargoyles Tigra convertible. Enough volume to bring down small planes. GK MB500/GB Shuttle etc all will do the same. You will have no trouble shifting the Epi and B/F prices have dropped with the release of Gen 3. Nice B/F compact will do the job as well.

Hello Paul. BBGM. ( Big Bald Gay Men, Bob the Builders Gay Mates, Baddleys Bottom Genocidal Methane) There is a link at the bottom of all my posts to BBGM on NWB. Next Sat Blackburn Sat after Lytham ,after that is far too far away for me to remember More than welcome to come round for an hours prat about, but it is totally different in a little back bedroom to a gig.

Fairly sure this is the one that was for sale on here, and not for the first time.

From the Carvin, any good? thread. First gig with BX700 last night. Instant punch in chest, amazing power and sound, with virtually no fiddling. Slight cut on bass, slight cut on low mid at 200 hz, slight boost on high mid at 1.2khz (a soundman once told me to do that), no compression, graphic eq off, valve pre amp off. Drive about 1 o'clock, master at about 9 o'clock. Against miked up drummer and guitarses. Perception was much more powerful than GB Shuttle/ Streamliner 600, GK MB 500. Fabulous, and learning this amp has just started.
