  1. These are simply the most versatile bass out there. Great passive tones and then once you kick in that 4 band pre amp! Boom!
  2. Year of Birth bass and all that..... an absolute delight!
  3. I just went ahead and fitted it - bad ass is now off the market
  4. Hey! Yeah it's nice and full range and works really well in this very well constructed, old school cab! I'm looking to have a rig clear out and redo the back line. Seen some great rigs on here and need to consider the space/band needs! Oh yeah and the GAS
  5. Gotta drive to Cambridge in a couple of weeks from Edinburgh - this might well go in the boot. I can see a slight detour to Bass Direct on the cards for a trade offer..bump! Basically if this isn't sold in two weeks it's gonna be off the market - have a think and get in touch while you still can!

  7. Wal bassist now's you chance to undo that knot of regret
  8. Be a week or so before any audio is imagine. Anyone heard much abt it yet?
  9. The speaker change was already done before I got the cab. The guy just had a preference for the Faital! I guess you have the advantage of having given the cab a try already 😀
  10. Ideally I'd like to sell as a pair due to space restrictions in my new gaff and having more gear than I really need! In saying that if some one wants the cab and someone else chimes in looking the head or vice versa I'd be happy to talk! Cheers
  11. I did indeed have that Audiophile head and it is a belter - it's since gone back to my native N.Ireland (to a new owner) and for the money you'd be hard pushed to find a more solid reliable amp - I believe the model went on to become the Ta501 in the MB line up
  12. pic added bump Here's mine in it's glory!
  13. Bass Direct have some clips on YT and they do sound great. Classic P tone and a pretty useful sounding tone circuit. It's the low weight and tone that really appeal to me. The fret system looks interesting. A gear cull could be in order ........
  14. I have to say these are a very fetching bass guitar! Somehthing timeless yet modern about them. What's ppl's thoughts who've had the pleasure to try one? More importantly do you live close enough to Edinburgh that I could come have a look/play on it
  15. The boost is a universal boost and could be used to give you more output when swithchnig to the URB - the BS IQ also has an input impedance selector which will give the piezo more heft (not necessarily more volume) - See The Ed Friedland Bass Whisperer vids on youtue - he does some really useful demo's with the IQ between active/passive and on an upright. The Basswitch is a very useful tool to have! Our fiddle player is currently using mine to great effect!
  16. My other amp sold locally so this is now off the market.
  17. Let me know when you're back in Finn's and I'll pop over and say Hi Plus I'd love to hear that rig shake the walls!
  18. Paul congrats - having tried to dip the toe into 5'er land a few times when it finally clicked for me was when I stopped trying to throw in the lower notes and basically started to play all my normal parts using the b string notes as my root notes i.e. using the G on the B string in l pace of the E string sort of thing and basically taking all my originals band stuff and moving it 'along and down' where possible to again us the B string. Once I switched my mindset as Visog said I feel that the 5 has actually opened up the fretboard. I'd bought the 5 primarily for my originals band but actually use it exclusively now. My one other snippet of advice is play the 5 exclusively for a good month or so, don't go back the 4 string no matter how tempting - persevere with it and you'll not look back
  19. You should have been in for the early slot - lots of honeys ...but that's just the crowd we attract
  20. I was gigging tonight just before you guys (the 6pm slot) but had to rush off to do a night shift. I'll get a chance to hear your guys yet! Good luck!
  21. I'd love to try one of these - Id imagine the E string and that scale would sound massive
