Nice to hear the bass right up there! If I was the director I'd have made the upright (& player!) much more of a feature

Mine are about 8" and the same shape as my Dad's - and he was a drummer. I think people like neck profiles because it's oten what they are used to. I prefer a thicker neck but can get by on a skinny neck too

Welcome to Basschat

Welcome Paulo

Nice variety going on there! All to my tastes

I missed this thread originally. Looks great IMHO. I won't be bidding but I do like the look of it

I too agree with Bassbus. If you have exactly the same settings every time then chances are you are not listening properly. I always used to have things flat. Then I started rolling back the treble and increasing the bass. Now I use an Orange Terror head and as stated earlier, it doesn't have the most dramatic of EQ variations which actually suits me.

I personally always favour flats so completely concur with the OP. It's a pain having to add a £30 cost to every bass I acquire but then again as has already been said the 75% of you favouring roundwounds probably help support the fact that roundwounds are cheaper which undoubtedly please the bass companies.

Very cool. I thought I was the only Basschatter with a Reso Bass

I've only played badly when I've drunk too much. Never any other reason if the set is rehearsed up. Sadly it's a lesson I seem to have to relearn with each & every band I join rather than just default back to the original lesson from my teens first time round. At least it's only once per band I join!

There's a Marlin in my local shop in for repair & it appears perfectly fine to me. I wouldn't spend £150, I simply replace the pickup & replace the knobs as those look a bit cheap. I reckon you'll have a nice bass

I'll stick my neck out here & say I think this band is going to be massive! Joking aside I'm pleased none of the ads I posted when I was 17yrs old made it onto the web

Water Tower Bucket Boys are great. On the first tour they had a different bass player (Walter) who was mind blowing. Owl the promoter is an old friend of mine & I think this is the third tour he has had them over here

On the strength of what is written here I wouldn't be put off. A good set up and away you go!

The simple answer is no. You wouldn't judge Volkswagon on the VW Fox and I'm sure any music company wouldn't want to use their entry range as their flagship. I owned a 50w Orange Practice amp. It was nice but got sold on quick enough. I've since bought the Terror head and gone back for for an SP210 cab which I've flightcased. I'm a big fan of Orange but it's not because of their Crush range

I suspect he knows what he is selling. Hope nobody gets ripped off
