Here's the US collection for the SR range...I need to move the States [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eb_sub_series15.php?series_id=51&year=2015&cat_id=2"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/u_eb_sub_series15.php?series_id=51&year=2015&cat_id=2[/url] and here's the UK :/ [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eb_sub_series15.php?series_id=51&area_id=3&year=2015&cat_id=2"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/products/eb_sub_series15.php?series_id=51&area_id=3&year=2015&cat_id=2[/url] I'm really hoping the SR1400E in the blue comes to the UK. I'd sell my current 3 basses for one of those.

Never found wearing a wedding ring a problem.

I just wish that a few more of the finishes that are on their US site were available here in the UK. The SR1400 is available in a very nice red or blues in the states Hopefully the new SR650s will be coming to the UK as well

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1422191784' post='2669618'] Hmm, I would expect closer to £279, given the way the pound-dollar usually works for us. £249, perhaps, which would put it above its competitors. The Scrambler side needs to be good to justify that, for sure. [/quote] That's not going to be particularly competitive to be fair.

Hope it's at 'the right price', it's a really versatile piece of kit. I'd get one as long as it's not too pricey

Whatever it's for it's darned ugly that's for sure.

Shame on you Clarky. Wish i was in a band that could sell out a bus shelter let alone a venue.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1422108945' post='2668779'] 300w 15" plus 6 model sounds and doing it pretty well for £500. [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/line-6-lowdown-ld-300-pro/23592"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/line-6-lowdown-ld-300-pro/23592[/url] Must check it out for that price. Used it in the studio and it went down well with a DI and mic take [/quote] Line6 don't make them anymore and as it says on the GAK link they're discontinued. ...and they weigh in excess of 40kg which more than most 410 cabs.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1422023214' post='2667881'] Thanks, Rich. I'll ask him! I think ultimately the plan is to go to[b] the States[/b], but I'm not yet [i]au fait[/i] with Hat's world domination plan... [/quote] I wasn't thinking that far west to be honest, more sort of west of Bristol but east of say Falmouth

I use the free version, mainly for making up playlists of the material of the band I'm in. It's also good for finding new music and 'testing' new albums to see if I actually want to buy them I don't need it for on the move. There aren't that many ads tbh, and what there are are mainly Spotify desperately wanting you to sign up to the premium service.

Top notch Mark You'll need to get Cowboy Hat to venture west, there's a good Americana following around these here parts...it is the west after all

Ed Friedland's reviews are the only ones I've ever given any time to...and they are very good actually. (obviously this contradicts my previous statement....but to be honest I simply don't care )

I don't take any notice of YT demos or soundclips of basses or amps. When it's in my hands it'll sound very different so it seems somewhat of a redundant exercise to watch/listen to someone else playing an instrument etc.

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1413226704' post='2576129'] Whatever happened to tommy McLaughlin ? [/quote] I thought the same the other day

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1421140276' post='2657449'] I've gone off marmite [/quote] I will always like marmite but will never like peanut butter. I've never found either good for metal though.

Not at a gig but at a practice only a couple of weeks ago...I hadn't touched my gear for months but that's not really an excuse. I set it all up, it was all plugged in and the effects loop was all set up but I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get any sound. I checked the signal path, the volume was turned up, checked the battery in my bass was ok...still nothing. Then it dawned on me looking at the back of my rig that there was no speaker cable from the amp to the cab. D'OH! Also, on my practice combo at home I'm forever putting my bass jack in the headphone socket and scratching my head as to why I'm not getting any output.

Oh that's lovely ... hell, it's happened again :/

How successful are these for you?... assuming you have them. In theory they are a good idea, but my experience is that nothing ever really either a/ gets discussed, and hence b/ nothing gets decided. It just ends up with a " well, I don't mind, I'll go along with what everybody else wants to do..." which has got to be one of the most annoying statements ever.

I always look resplendent and magnificent. Those self assertiveness classes seem to be working a treat

All previous bands I've been in there's always been someone who, although not really a band leader, will push what they want onto the list - not always a success. I'm currently starting with a new band and was quite surprised when I rejected about 6 songs on the list and they all went "Ok, that's fine" I think everyone has to be happy with what they're being asked to play. That doesn't necessarily mean they have to actually have had to have been a fan of the song but see that it works for the band. There's stuff I play that I wouldn't ever listen to at home but will play in a band because it clearly works.

The basses i want just tend to be active. I don't fiddle with the onboard pre amp, I tend to leave it flat and adjust my eq unit in my rack. Very occasionally I'll tweak the OBP, maybe for a little treble boost during a section of a song but that's it.

I use a racked DBX166. I use it soley as an effect and tone changer and not to iron out my crap technique.

I thought it was ok, good entertainment on NYE

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1420126032' post='2645840'] Oh i bought them a while back came from a sr500 that someone had put a different set in and different electrics. I think i will go with the sr300 as said i can upgrade the pu's right away and if i don't like bass ive not spent to much. If i like it then i will upgrade later in the year to a better sr model. [/quote] Excellent. The barts are quite difficult to get hold of, and new they're quite expensive
