I use joinmyband.co.uk amd have good success on partysounds.co.uk as well

The bass is a Spector.

I've just acquired one in a trade and couldn't be happier with it. Seriously loud, easily as loud if not louder than the swr 700 it replaced. Mine still has the original tubes and doesn't start to breakup till at plast 11 or 12 o'clock. Played last night with my blues jam band, just plugged in one aguilar 112 and with the gain and volume on 3 was easily drowning out 2 guitarists!!!! Sounds even better with both cabs.

Being one of this basschat 3 way swap!! I couldn't agree more, this place is amazing, and over the years I've met so many top guys, through various trades. Group hug!!

So far I'm finding my fav setting as others have said, tone min, mid max and bass almost min. Sounds great, and there is so much volume it's crazy. Had the gain upto 12 o'clock without any real breakup, but with both cabs, aguilar GS112 x2 I only had both volume and gain on 2!!!

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1360610453' post='1973381'] i couldnt get on with the preamp at all! i always had to use an external pre/tone shaping device to get the sound i wanted, in the end i traded it away for an ampeg pf500 [/quote] Sort of ;-)

Another One Bites the Dust, Queen. Or maybe Grounds for Divorce by Elbow?

Different amp and bass, so new entry to the thread. Orange Terror Bass 500, Aguilar GS112 x2 and MM Jazz...

I just traded my status S3000 for Paul's MM Jazz, thoroughly nice bloke. And very happy with the trade.

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1359790057' post='1960293'] be careful with your amp! Best of luck mate! [/quote] Dont you worry it was going to be a studio amp. Thanks for all the comments, but I guess it wasn't to be!! Swapped basses this morning, now have a gorgeous mm jazz which was like coming home. But my other half was in bed with what I thought was just a cold, but as the morning went she got worse so had to take her to the hospital, so had to cancel the audition!!! Although I had been in touch with another band, and from the message today are keen to get me on board and have gigs booked all the way till December! Happy days.

Well, I've been in quite a few bands, pretty much all of them I've been in from the start so no auditions. My current band I was the only one going to play with them, and was there for a jam really at the start. Although my first gig was only 2 rehearsals in. But tomorrow Im auditioning for a new band, and this will be my first actual audition. I was first to contact so got the pick of slots and I chose last!! Is that good or bad? My slot has also grown from half an hour, to an hour. Im guessing a couple of people have dropped out, so that may be good. I just hope ive learnt enough of the stuff I was given!! Genuinely cr***ing it!!! Oh Im also trading basses in the morning so may very well be playing a different bass!!

Well since Monday I've been listening to Seriously amazing album, ram packed with quality.

Worst I've ever had was a Laney RBG300 1x15" combo. Seriously awful, really wooly and absolutely no volume.

I'd love to do pink Floyd's 'One of these day's' live. Always have the patches setup on any effect pedal I own, but as of yet not been in the right band to do it.
