    I always got the best result with a Gallien Krueger head. You could try the Bass Centre.

    I have just taken the plunge and ordered one direct with Jorg Schroeder - what a nice guy. I have gone with the 1212L in blue rhino finish. I ordered it monday 18th and he is posting it to me this monday coming (25th) so hopefully I should have it for my gig next Friday.

    the have been loads of changes made between the old and new ones. Apparently over 100! Main Differences are: 1979 model Current Model Neck Joint : 3 bolt - 6 bolt Battery compartment : Metal screw-on plate - Quick clip thingy Bridge : string mutes - no mutes : through body stringing - top loader EQ : only 2 band eq - 2 or 3 band EQ Nut : standard - compensated (better intonation apparently) Made by : Leo Fender - Sterling Ball truss rod adjustment : at the top (allen key) - body end (anything small enough to fit the holes in the wheel) There are others.

    My band "Overloaded" does our first gig on Friday 29th June 2007. We are primarily a rock band performing music by such artists as Paul Rodgers, Paul Weller, ZZ Top, Black Crowes, Red Hot Chili peppers, Kaizr Chiefs and so on. Powered by Dave and myself as the rythym section with Mick the lick on guitar and Dynamite Jim Dunbar on vocals - this promises to be one powerful gig. Depending on how I feel I will be playing my Fender '51 Precision reissue and either a Yamaha TRB6 II fretless or my own homegrown fretless Bass Collection 4 string tuned B, E, A, D with EMG pups, gotoh machines and Badass I bridge . I will also be premiering my Shroeder 1212L cab for this gig having only just got it. Make no mistake when I say that this will be one energetic gig

    The Aria is now gone and I'm waiting for Birdy to get back to be about the Flea

    Generally smaller stuff goes through unnoticed. You didn't say which brand of bass you have but check out guitarpartsresource.com. I've had a load of stuff from them

    i emailed Behringer about the wattage rating to find out if it was RMS or peak or some other method and was told that it was RMS. I blew mine up with a 500w Hartke HA5500 at about half volume

    All of these basses are made in the same factory. they used to do a neck through 6 string that was actually a rebadged Peavey Grind. The current 6 string they do is a rebadged Shine. Shine also make Epiphone's. there seems to be a factory putting out all different brands. Interested in a 12 string semi-acoustic? You can go to the Waterstone website where Tom Petersson from Cheap Trick has his signature model made for about £1400 (I think) and then search out US sellers who will ship to the UK and get a rebranded one made in the same factory for about £200

    The Bass Centre did do the original ones and they were available in 4, 5, 6 and fretless. Many different specs - the only ones i can remember were the 300, 320 and 460 series but there were lots. the 300 series was passive, all others were active My first 5 string was an SB305 The way you can tell what model it is within the range is: if its a fretless it ends in a 1, 5 & 6 strings are either 5 or 6. eg an active fretless would be a 321, a passive 5 string would be a 305. Then you go onto different finishes - I had an SB465 which was an active 5 string with gold hardware and a Paduak top. They did Zebrano and a few others as well. I have a speakeasy as well that i'm modifying. I tried every bass in Glasgow for the fastest playing bass I could find, regardless of sound or price and this was the one. the only original parts are the body and neck. Its got Gotoh machines, Badass I bridge, EMG pickups. All parts that i can remove and use again if i were to sell it on.

    I currently have both of these for sale on evilbay and they currently still have over 7 days left to run. The flea bass is immaculate except for a chip on the back of the body near the rear strap button. It comes with Schaller strap buttons and an SKB hard case. It is fitted with GHS Flea strings. I have it fitted with a hipshot D tuner and matching Gotoh machines but will be putting the original Modulus ones back on as the Gotoh's are already marked for another bass. The fancy knobs will also be changed back to the original chrome ones. The bass is also fitted with a Gotoh bridge, Basslines pickup and Aguilar OBP-1 preamp which is essentially the same specs as Flea uses just now. I have it at BIN of £1100 but will accept £950 from anyone here plus postage (unless you are within collecting distance). The Aria bass has the very unique maple fretboard, black body, PJ pups and is passive. The body has some of those light swirling marks from someone polishing it with a crap cloth and the headstock has a bit of the laquer taken off it at the very end. This comes with a gig bag. BIN is £160 but, again, will take £120 from anyone here plus postage. I would prefer cash on collection or payment by cheque if having delivered. Next day delivery (excluding Weekends) is £20 for members here. I'm not looking for trades on any of this ( unless you happen to have a Schroeder 1212L cab) Oh yes, and the Yamaha in the pictures with the Aria is not for sale.

    It was me who started the thread on the rickresource! the overall answer i got was that Lemmy got his bass before the copies started getting made from a dodgy geezer and possibly had a new fretboard put on it

    I have heard that they are grossly inneficient but never personally tried them out

    I am one of those guys unfortunate enough to blow all 4 cones of a BA410. I initially thought that the speaker grill was rattling - I had taken the badges off as I prefer a clean look to my gear. I kept stuffing beer mats along the edges of the grill but it wouldn't stop. By the third gig, all 4 cones had broken and I had to play the last 20 minutes with fart & tweeter. BUT - - - I emailed Behringer about it and they sent me out a brand new one within a couple of days! I can't imagine any other company doing this (if there are then let me know) they didn't need proof or anything. Maybe the panic in my email was enough. So this put me off Behringer gear.
