[quote name='JTUK' post='677380' date='Dec 8 2009, 12:00 AM']Only heard our guitarist use one but I feel it lack the weight of his old tube head, in terms of sound. He is going to stick with it and try a Line tube gtr amp..as the effects box is a good idea and better than seperates, he thinks. For me, the jury is still out so I'll see how his latest trick goes..[/quote] Yeah, a real tube is not easily replicated Although one guitarist I know says his marshall tube does not sound good at low volumes! even during a practice? there's a tube draw back for you, or is it?

I am seriously considering one of these heads, they seem to good to be true (although not tried it yet) I am also not sure about modeling, but 2 guitar players I know now have their versions, they seem great and both of them are very pleased (and not easily) I have been using the LM2 for a while whilst searching for an orange head 2nd hand, strangely now I think both will go when I settle on something new to play with

I only own a MIM but I have to say to grows on me more and more the more I use it, I dont think I will ever part with it As the last post, they have been used by fantastic players across all styles and still are Perhaps, just those simple pickups right between usual bridge and neck pick up positions we see on other styles of basses is really all that is needed, and anything more is a fancy toy Fancy toys are fine and fun, I love them also, but I am just saying I dont think music live or recorded would have suffered to date if nothing beyond the p bass had been invented All the famous players of the past who used the j type set-up, would still have sounded great on a P

Hi, Lazy question I know Just sold my old combo amp which I use for playing along to MP3s with Headphones on And now wish to purchase something that will do that at home taking less space, and provide me with more choice of effects than needed for my covers bands and new gigging tuner would be handy So an Multi FXs unit is on the cards BTW I have an old (very old) zoom 3000b which I use only as a tuner these days, would it be an insult to offer it for sale? I know I would'nt get alot but it may make someone happy

[quote name='jmsjabb' post='651921' date='Nov 11 2009, 07:58 PM']That is cheap. Where have you seen these? Most 500s seem to be in the £400s. The Mag range will be cheaper, but then it is the MAG range, not the ABM[/quote] beware the mag range if your going to push it, I brought a mag head and 2 cabs earlier this year and sold it at a loss after one pub gig perhaps its ok with you are not going to drive it that hard

I have used my SWR workingmans 15" combo which I think runs at about 100w without an extension cab However this was with a fairly low volume jazz band I now play covers with some full on guitarists and a loud drummer and the combo does'nt even cut it at rehearsals! So as someone else said 300w + if you wish to hold your own in a loud pub/club band if you dont always have a pa to go through Not very technical advice, but from experience

What I am suggesting is to create an album/playlist that showcases different types of bass and playing approaches So.. Each poster suggests a new classic track and should state type of bass played and any other info they have Each new track should feature a new model/make of bass Unless you can specify a major playing difference from one already used (such as picked instead of fingered, or flats instead of rounds, fretless etc)

Been keeping my MB head in good condition along with box so I can trade it for the tiny terror when it arrives, assuming I like it

Is this idea still ongoing If so, how longs the list? Love to try one

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='642188' date='Oct 31 2009, 09:52 PM']Fair point... It's just the story behind it i suppose, and the NWR connection. Also it's a bit of a one off. The thing is, if it was that great, would it still be on Bass Centres website after 18 months?[/quote] It seems there is no asset to be brought with this bass, so whoever buys its buys it for the "story" etc, because it means something to them But should understand they are unlikely to shift it on quickly, or recover anywhere near the initial outlay You have to really want this for you, and for the long term

[quote name='Mr.T' post='638813' date='Oct 28 2009, 09:41 AM']Used LM2s seem to be changing hands for around £400. I would think they are a fairly safe bet, as I haven't heard of many failures considering how many of us are using them.[/quote] My first use of my LMII head had it burning hot, fan did'nt work I called the shop, who at first appeared not to believe me, so I even doubted myself To be fair to them, when I pushed the issue they had a replacement waiting behind the counter when I arrived, straight swap for new one

Has Bernard Edwards got a signature bass? MM stingray with writing on the neck could sell for a few more $ Not sure what budget MM copies are around these days, I have (out on permanent loan) a Tanglewood MM copy from years back which is a great budget bass

someone should tell Lemmy that bullet belt will scratch the back of the bass body

Quote from basscentre "Once we were satisfied with the feel and sound of the bass the reigns were handed over to Martin Sims to give the bass that authentic vintage look...." Does that mean he made the mark at the top of the bridge pick up or is that a flaw in the photo

[quote name='von Braun' post='634510' date='Oct 23 2009, 02:19 PM']The main difference seems to be the relative weakness of the MIM pick-ups. I picked up a new MIM sunburst JB in 2006, swapped out the bridge for a Badass III, the white scratchplate for a Fender replacement tortoiseshell one (for that 62 reissue look) and a pair of classic Seymour Duncans and still saved myself £300 off the USA model. The Badass really helps with getting the action down, general intonation and definitely gives a beefier sound (as you'll know from the Geddy), I'm not sure why Fender don't fit them as standard. The SDs are just miles better than the standard pups.[/quote] I have a MIM P bass, I love it and have no intention of replacing it, therefore I would be happy to spend a little on upgrading the pick -ups if it will improve the tone What will the SDs do for it and how much are they?
