Muzz

It's is a path I've been down: I had a LMIII, wanted a tubier sound, so tried a Sansamp BDDI in front of it, liked it, and wanted that tubier sound in one box, so I tried a lot of the smaller hybrid heads (including the LMTube and Rocker, neither of which I liked much - one ineffectual as MM20 says, the other too fizzy) then bought (in order) a TC RH450, an Ashdown Spyder, a Mesa M-Pulse, an SVT Pro-7, a PF500, a Walkabout and then a Streamliner. I've stuck on the Streamliner because it works for me, but I guess if I had to pick a second place it'd be the M-Pulse, tho that's a full-size head. Never tried a TTE, but I'd like to. Rather than bung the board up with stuff I've typed before, if you want any more detailed opinions, just PM me.

Congratulations, lovely name...and for God's sake don't get her a Rick*****ker, we'll never hear the end if it...

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1375609024' post='2163299'] The OP jut asked about someone's tone - on a bass forum, of all places - and he's accused of having a lack of musical understanding? Get a grip. [/quote] +1

Hipshot Supertone. A better bridge all round.

There used to be a bloke (I forget his name) who went to the rock clubs in Manchester in the 80s (Jillys, The Phoenix, UMIST, Rockworld, etc) who did air-drummed/headbanged all night on the dance floor, and would do it at gigs, too.

Ah, now, if we're doing cashback, I'll just have the Dingwall and four lots of money...

A Dingwall 4 (go-to) A good P/J (fallback) A Fenderbird (rawk'n'roll) A BC Rich 8 (exotica) A coffee-table luthiery one (Shuker, or Overwater, Sei, etc) just for the look of it. Although the Dingwall would do just fine on its own.

Well, that's my DOB ('64) Thunderbird plans in the bin, then...

Wow, and I thought my Laklandbird had the Least Accessible Top 5 Frets In Christendom...

Top band: utterly, utterly over the top, overblown and everything on about fourteen, rather than eleven. Bought the first album when it came out, and loved them since.

Nope, sorry: not a thing, not even a t-shirt. You'd never know, if it wasn't for the basses lying around the place...

I use my Shure SE215s for everything headphone-related, including practising with my Streamliner. They sound really, really good.

I never understand this - I had a good-sounding P, I added a J, and now I've got a good-sounding P with added options. Adding the J pickup did nothing untoward to the P. Having said that, it's a Wizard Big P/J set, so they might be less susceptible to complications. Oh, and that P/P is one of the best-looking basses I've ever seen on here, even though I normally don't like relicing of any kidney.

...or even three: yours, mine, the truth?

Muse. Can't be doing with the vocals.
