Merton

I need to mute your posts I think because I want an R400 more and more each time you say something about them!

My ABM head cost £140 including VAT last year, but it needed all the pots replaced, a couple of jack sockets and all the board interconnects as it has sat unused for almost 17 years and basically got dusty/tarnished.

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1491419922' post='3272943'] Did he not say he had switched them around ? Unless he switched all four at the same time? [/quote] I don't read things properly at the best of time but I've been drinking wine, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Switch the Send and Return - send goes out of the amp to the first pedal and return goes back in from the last

Sorry to hear that

Ouch. I played through one at the London Bass Show, was thoroughly underwhelmed I have to say. Which is good because Aguilar was an amp itch I was planning on scratching, now I can avoid it

Wicked

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1490863302' post='3268548'] While we're on the subject of Living Colour, I recently snared a copy of one of the early US copies of Stain with the different guitar solos on it. I think its the fifth or sixth version of the album that I'd bought. [/quote] Oooh that's quite rare isn't it? Care to share any?

All his Instagram photos suggest he's still using old Trace gear - he has an ashdown B-Social and possibly a Retroglide but his gig rigs are trave unless supplies backline I believe I enjoyed the clip, his playing is amazing and his tone for such a light touch is amazing, I really have a lot to learn still

If you're replacing the drivers you can buy suitable impedances to wire it to 4 ohms so it makes no difference what's already in there

Sounds like a great amp I have to say. Given that you have (had?) an ABM as well I guess we have similar tonal goals

I used an OB1-300 last week at band practice, it was awesome with a tiny amount of saturation going on. When the overdrive "channel" was engaged more it was horrible though, IMO

[quote name='BassBunny' timestamp='1490121000' post='3262394'] I used one of these when I had a WT550. http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rugged-case-with-foam-interior-n78gg You can probably get the same thing on eBay for less. [/quote] Ditto

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1489757152' post='3259529'] And one of each will still cost you less than just one of the Kala California basses. In fact, one of each of all four colours will cost you less than just one of the Kala California basses. Just think of the money you'd be saving. Wonder if Bass Centre would give me a commission? [/quote] You certainly deserve it, a heroic sales pitch right there

If it were me I'd get an Ashdown ABM, it'll cover those two bands with ease and pairs very very well with the SC in my opinion.

[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1489749695' post='3259405'] And Merton, as they're different scale lengths, they're completely different basses, so you can buy one of each. [/quote] Yes indeed, hence my "argh" hehe

Oooh, I like the red one! And the blue one! Argh.

Very, very nice

Gen 1 and 2 were based around the standard Eminence 15" and 12" drivers; Gen 3 uses the custom Barefaced drivers in 12" and 10" formats. The differences between Gen 1 and 2 are as Frank described above

I never knew Trace did a 2x12 cab!

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1489096460' post='3254436'] Same here! [/quote] Me too haha! That's is one stunning J bass, lovely

Welcome to the family the only trouble with ACGs is that once you pop, you can't stop. Eventually I'd like one of each model give or take haha! No 3 is currently in gestation for me - it's the funky Skelf Short Scale which has appeared in a few of Alan's videos this week

Love the WT-550
