Sold my EBS Classic Line to Bloc Riff Nut aka Phil. Nice guy, straightforward & easy going. No tricks or haggling on the spot. Won't hesitate dealing with him again.

Sold a Gotoh bridge to Lacertus. Quick payment & easy going. Won't hesitate dealing with him again.

I bought a strap from Salt. International Delivery. Very good condition, beautifully packaged and quick delivery. I can highy recommend Salt.

In July I will be gigging in Belfast. So I'll be flying from Amsterdam with EasyJet. Do you guys have any experience with taking the neck off the bass and transport it in two parts in your regular luggage?

And? Did you managed to get the Thumper in?

Thanks, Yesterday I emptied my MP3 and put on some new albums. Except for this album, as long as I have my MP3 it's on it. And it stays.

One of the songs, as well as being very poigniant given the weather at the moment, is just guitar, voice and bass... I recorded it on my phone. [url="http://www.jollybeggars.co.uk/stuff/wintersong.mp3"]Here 'tis[/url]. If you don't like flats this won't be your cup of tea, but I think it shows how even and round the notes are. I like it.[/quote] Again, great playing! Nice song and nice sound.

We play rock / indie covers. Think Editors, Radiohead, Muse, KOL and stuff. Singer, two distorted guitards and a loud drummer. We always play with PA. So my bass rig is for monitoring only. It's a loud band. However yesterday night seemed a bit less loud than normal. Or maybe that's the effect of no more messy lows on stage. I ran the Shuttle at full power. It coped, but there was not much headroom left. So I'm thinking about a Shuttle 6.0 / 9.0, Genz Benz Streamline (Jan 11), TC RH450 or GK MB-500. Much to choose from, indeed.

Took this combo for a pub gig tonight. I was very afraid that 300 watts was not enough. However, it did very well. Guitards happy that the bass didn't sucked al their lows up in the mix. Soundengineer happy that he was able to make a nice FOH-mix. I was very happy: great sound and combined 15 kg!

I'm hanging on to this one for a while - with his agreement - because I want to have a really good go with it before I consider selling the Bergs. Also there's a few people around here want to have a go before it goes back.[/quote] That makes me curious: do you consider replacing the bergs with 1 or 2 compacts? (or a compact & midget?)

Interesting! Which head pushed out the most volume in the 8 ohm Compact?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='979158' date='Oct 6 2010, 11:11 AM']Here a little vid we made at a mini bass-bash last night.[/quote] Nice clip, very helpful! With which amp you drove the compact?

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='975683' date='Oct 3 2010, 08:57 AM']Hi folks I used the compact last night at a theatre gig. There wasn't a huge FoH, or an elaborate monitor set-up, so we didn't put any drums or bass in the stage mix. The Compact, again, was a star.[/quote] Nice playing and a good drummer! Since I am heading for a Classic 450 and a compact; can you tell me how much you cranked the amp up?

[quote name='urb' post='975908' date='Oct 3 2010, 01:47 PM']I currently have the load of a Shuttle 6 with GB 112 cab and it really sounds great - Imlove their cabs as well - here's a nice bit of music from a trio I love with their bassist using this exact amp + cab combo:[/quote] Great! As an Shuttle 3.0-owner I recognize the Shuttle in his bass sound. The 9.0 seems to have some extra lows. However, if you like the melowness in the bass sound in this video, the Shuttle is the right amp for you. I always turn in some extra low mids for some punch. I need that to be heard in the band mix.

Rosewood. And get rid of those pup covers!
