    [quote name='josh3184' post='498846' date='May 27 2009, 03:03 PM']what's the difference between an MK2 and MK3?[/quote] Mk IIIs have a smaller body with a different profile; lighter and more ergonomic. Also, Hipshot Ultralite tuners and a different neck joint (again, more ergonomic) were the other changes.

    [quote name='alexclaber' post='495352' date='May 22 2009, 04:43 PM']How interesting. So if the two channels sound different with the EQ flat, I wonder which is the most close to being transparent?[/quote] Now [i]that[/i] is a good question. Obviously it was only a lunchtime noodle, so my impressions may go up as well as down, but thinking about it more now I guess it was more that the gain settings were different, which made one channel louder than t'other although I was using the same bass. I believe the channels are identical apart from Channel A having the Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator circuit as well; maybe that's the difference?! I shall investigate further...

    So I went to The Gallery to try one out today. Nice amp. I could live without the aesthetic look of the thing, but it's small, light and very loud. Good neutral sound with everything set flat, although I was surprised at how different the two channels sounded with everything set completely flat. All's good.

    [quote name='51m0n' post='493514' date='May 20 2009, 05:48 PM']Well its effectively two preamp channels into an LMII power section. The LMII is generally considered to colour tone very very little from what I've ever read both here an on TB. Certainly my SA450 (which is also closely related to an LMII) really does let the nature of the bass shine through. I find the combination of sa450 and berg ae410 is amazingly accurate to my ear, when compared to a loud playback of a DI'ed version of my basses over good monitors. So if uncoloured is what you are after I think amp-wise at least you should be on to a real winner. The cab is probably even more important in this regard though (IMO any way)[/quote] Thanks for this, most helpful. Uncoloured is exactly what I want, and using two EA cabs will help as you say.

    By that I mean does it have a distinctive tone, or does it have a fairly neutral, "flat" sound that you can shape using all the tone controls?

    I went to a ball, mid 80s, with the drummer in my band. There we were having a pee in a three stall urinal, leaving the stall in the middle free (as you do). Who should walk in and take pride of place in the middle stall? You guessed it.... Mr Deacon.

    [quote name='BassBod' post='487667' date='May 14 2009, 11:00 AM']Secondhand, from the USA is your best option to get the configuration you want at a "realistic" cost..plus the risks of shipping etc. Mansons are great to deal with, but they are never the cheapest - give them a good haggle and see what they can do for you? American producers (even the small ones) are generally used to discounting heavily through their dealers, so ignore the list prices as a starting point - its always worth asking.[/quote] +1 on that I don't know why, but I've always loved the Egan doubleneck...

    I believe [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk"]Mansons[/url] are their UK dealer.

    That's a heck of a lot of bass for not a lot of money. If I had the dosh I'd take it Barrie, but sadly I don't!

    [quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='484886' date='May 11 2009, 10:43 AM']Your link was to the Shuttle 6, whereas the seller is selling a Shuttle 6 MAX. Different amp, costs about [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Genz_Benz_Max_6.html"]£775[/url]. S.P.[/quote] Oops, thanks for pointing that out. Apologies to the OP.

    Hello, and welcome to Basschat. Just so you are aware, your asking price is over £100 more than buying a new one [url="http://www.bassmerchant.com/item_detail.php?product_id=432&category_id=2"]here[/url] in the UK, and that's before anyone adds shipping from the UK and the import duties they'd have to pay.

    On hold.

    We'll miss you here in Blighty CK, but as one door closes another opens for you. Best of luck back in NZ.

    Price drop to £420.

    Great album, but that's just crazy. I wonder how much my signed vinyl copy is worth then?
