Also it's faaaaaar too expensive and overpriced in the UK. Like the Mesa Boogie of spirits

Love me some meister . Pity most people just associate it with the jagerbombs though. Anyhoo. I want that bass. Now.

tbh i like both incarnations of his sig bass . Also reckon he's a vastly underrated bassist and producer but that's another can of worms...

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='687478' date='Dec 17 2009, 04:41 PM']That's the 2-string, right? [/quote] Ba-dum tish! I have to admit that one took me a while...

Some amazing advice, I can't really add much to it but the greatest gift my bass teacher gave me was learning how to do everything by ear. He started at day one and it is a great skill to have, so might be worth incorporating somewhere? Maybe trying to get your student to pick out simple riffs himself then help him when he gets stuck? This is also a good opportunity to get some theory in too, cos you can say "oh it goes up a 5th there" etc. Just my 2 cents

nice to see this went the right way, i remember when someone hacked my account and second chance offered everyone who bid on my MM Stingray. He went down to ridiculous prices too, offered it for something like £150 to a few. That took a while to sort out...

[quote name='ahpook' post='685000' date='Dec 15 2009, 11:47 AM']i've got one. what would you like to know ?[/quote] Just some really basic info really, there seems to be a bit of conflicting info about it online. Is it tuned E-E? And how does the shorter scale handle? Is it floppy as a wet fish?

+1 to the contacting Ashdown thing, they're a really helpful bunch. Genuinely nice guys.

[quote name='Finbar' post='684461' date='Dec 14 2009, 08:37 PM']There was an 8x10 to try, which was currently out of action as Jeff had stolen the speakers from it for another cab! There was also ... a customer's newly completed sealed 4x10 which he was happy to let me try.[/quote] Wasn't that mine? Whatta cab!

hmm, not convinced it deliver *that* ampeg sound. Very willing to have my mind changed, but so many other people are doing the light amp thing so so well... Ampeg might have problems competing here.

What happened between Flea and Modulus? Did he have another hissy fit?

They're very very nice basses , Sonically I always preferred the single PU version over the JJ. Meaty, great sounding bass and with the right pair of strings plays like a dream. They're still made, though it's not worth buying them new. They drop so much in price for the second hand market it's hardly worth it.

Just interested to know what these are like really, look interesting

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='680767' date='Dec 10 2009, 10:52 PM']Am I the first to point out that he used Warwick Streamer basses as well as Spectors? In fact I seem to recall that for much of his time with AIC he was pictured with Warwicks! Just sayin'. [/quote] Cha, I know He was switching between the greyburst warwick and cherryburst spector. He did all the bass opening tracks (rain when I die, would? etc) with the Spector though and it sounded laaaably! In fact I believe it was this one: jizz

Never had a problem with em , bought my first head and cab off them. Quick delivery, cheap and helpful
