Congratulations guys

NYE 2013, doing a party on a Thames cruise boat. Our guitarists Marshall started smoking, then came the flames and then a big pop and it was dead. Fun times.

Could well be

Superb. The SC works so well with the ABM and RM heads, you're going to be very happy

[quote name='NickA' timestamp='1498079236' post='3322449'] Just don't (ever) touch that "sub" knob. Horrid. [/quote] A subtle bit of it can be very nice occasionally but yeah, mostly best avoided

Interesting! I tried the AG700 at the LBGS and hated it, but to be fair I was playing an unfamiliar bass and it wasn't exactly quiet there

Get that, the RM800 is a stonking amp!

I'll get a family pic of the Skelf and Finn together but for now have a look at Alan's page - my Skelf is a 32" beast. Absolutely incredible bass to play and the tone is to die for. The bottom B is superb, dare I say probably the best bottom B I've played! http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0274skelf4/

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1496691713' post='3313275'] Alive by Pearl Jam, off one of my favourite albums and great to play. So what tunes are other basschatters enjoying playing? [/quote] Great tune! I'm currently polishing up an 18-track set for a dep gig I've got in France in a fortnight. My favourite song on the list is Love Walked In (by Thunder) but the whole set is cracking!

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1496603577' post='3312641'] Thanks. Just a bummer about Newtone being almost twice the price of the status strings. Still, worth a try. Have you used them before? DR don't do them. Neither do D'Addario. Much to my surprise actually. [/quote] Yup I have Newtones on all three of my ACGs, two of which are 32" scale. Mine are Nickel would but they are amazing, so much so I got a standard 34" set for my 33" Finn as well

Very tempted to get the one of these, it has everything my pedalboard has (minus the Line 6 wireless receiver!) and nothing else added. It's be perfect for my little trip to France in a fortnight!

[quote name='Wolverinebass' timestamp='1496426164' post='3311388'] One thing that's annoying is that they're not selling single ball medium scale sets. They're about the only thing I like for my Alembic. Now before someone chimes in with "get something else!" I challenge you to find a set of single ball, medium scale stainless Steel roundwounds with a 105, 85, 65, 45 gauge. That's right, they don't exist. I found short scales to be too short as I've got a 30.75 scale length and cutting long scales down affected the tone of the E and G strings due to the 2+2 headstock. Frustrating. [/quote] Newtone? (As in ask for a custom wound set?) Also, what about DR or do they only do the Nickel Sunbeams in medium scale?

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1495462470' post='3303906'] Ah, Steve "Steamin' Clark. Has anyone ever looked cooler than that playing Les Paul around their knees? Happy memories of seeing him live. [/quote] I concur, save for the bit about seeing him live sadly. Oh actually, the trousers he wore on TOTP when Animal was released were pretty bad actually.

[quote name='jimbartlett' timestamp='1494774650' post='3298432'] First time out last night for my new rig and I love it! EBS Reidmar 750, Barefaced One10 & Barefaced Super Compact. [/quote] How do the One10 and SC pair sonically? Interested as I'm hoping to get another SC later this year as I miss it hugely!

I love the Super Compact, my favourite cab ever. And paired with a Rootmaster I can guarantee sonic joy and happiness

Definitely - do it! The LH500 is fecking superb.

Good news, I hope they pay in a timely manner

Yup it's confusing! Passive/active is out/in respectively Push flat/shape is in/out respectively All others tend to be clear as in in means on!
