  1. Ive tried the 500w OTB and a Hartke HA5500. In my opinion the Hartke is better. As the other poster mentioned the OTB has one sound (for me think a bee stuck in an empty ale can and a microphone over the hole) really poor attempt at trying to mimic a valve amp. The Hartke however has many options and with the valve option on the pre-amp/gain you can get a really warm punchy sound
  2. Another bump before it gets consigned to my in-house knock about bass. Shame really as it looks lovely
  3. [quote name='Matte_black' timestamp='1319757600' post='1418424'] I'd be curious to compare it to an all-tube. In the clips it sounds very warm. [/quote] If you have the back to cope with the weight, a valve amp generally wipes the floor with a terror bass
  4. Will listen to any swap offers for a P bass chrome pickup cover and/or 51 p bass/tele bass bridge cover
  5. Shaun bought a Wizard Trad P pickup off me. Completely hassle free and smooth transaction. Hope you enjoy them as much as i did
  6. Purely out of interest how does the amp compare size-wise to the 120's?
  7. I bought one of these a while back from the states on Ebay. Cost me about £60 brand new. I wanted the Eldorado style strap look without their massive prices. However, i dont use it much anymore as i now play the bass a bit lower. Still in immaculate condition and the holes that go over the strap buttons are still nice and stiff. Tooled 'Acorn' carving in the strap with heavy duty silver and gold coloured metal work. Very tasty! Will post a picture soon but in the meantime this is the stock picture ive found on google [url="http://www.music123.com/Accessories/Fretted-Instrument-Accessories-Parts/Straps-Strap-Locks/Guitar-Bass-Straps/Deluxe-Vintage-Leather-Guitar-Strap.site7prod483331.product"]http://www.music123....d483331.product[/url] *SOLD*
  8. This past two years ive really developed a taste for vintage looking and sounding basses and backline. Ive probably posted before but so happy with my current set-up. Had a crazy few days where i considered off loading the Bison for a Squier VM precision TB bass. Whilst i still want one i could never get rid of the Bison n for a wierd reason i dont like to have more than 2 basses at any one time....cant decide which to gig Anyway, enjoy...
  9. Quick check. No date stamps on neck. There is a wierd tiny logo tho, it looks like a 'Q' with a 'B' inside the circle of the Q. tiny 1cm size logo
  10. I shall. Im pretty certain its just the neck plate that MIGHT be real fender, The neck is a big chunky P bass neck with jumbo frets, it has a fender decal but fairly obviously added. Im flogging the body and neck, it started off as a project that i got bored off. Im pretty sure they are Sunn Mustang but i will check neck and pots codes
  11. Got a bitsa P bass a while back and was told the neck plate was original fender. Thought nowt of it but just put the serial number printed on it into the Guitar Dater Project site and apparently its.... Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in the Year(s): 1976
  12. Wizard Thumpers, brilliant pups
  13. [quote name='algmusic' timestamp='1319456648' post='1414226'] Terror Bass.. If you like valve.. You won't be disappointed.. It's like valve without the hernia.. I would probably change the valves to some less hot one. Markbass are great, the bridge between hifi and valve... a nice neutral sound [/quote] Only my humble opinion but for a nice vintagey 2x15 id stick to proper valve amps. Mine packs loads of valvey goodness from the SC head. To me the whole 'valve' thing is done by the power valves, i really dont think the hybrids (orange TB etc) are even close to real valve amps
  14. You thought of the Sound City 120's? Im using one with a 2x15 fender bassman cab and have more than enough headroom and no breakup until i REALLY drive and dig in (i like a little valve breakup on the bottom notes). I was selling mine but came to my sences and am now keeping hold. Wooks on here was selling an immaculate one tho. Out of interest what wattage is the bassman copy?
  15. I had the matching cab for this amp once, the TE BFC. Never got the chance to hear it with its intended head but i can only image the doom it brought!
  16. Looking at the old vintage Fender P's on here ive noticed that the older tuning keys seem to have really long 'stems'. They seem to stick out over the headstock by quite a way. Are there any companies (cheaper than buying proper vintage ones) that sell these? Ive got several sets on elephant ears keys but not that have this long stem feature
  17. Clear out of some old bits. Can collect from manc or below prices inc P&P [s]Wizard Trad pickups. Slight scuffing to covers but sound amazing - £30[/s] [s]Squier P bass pups - £8[/s] Old Sunn/Encore P bass body, red with tort guard, bridge and thumb rest (no elecs) - £50 (would prefer collection on this) Sunn Mustang P bass pups, white covers that dont appear removable - £8 Old open gear elephant ear tuners from no-name jazz, Pitted and looking very retro - £10 (ill need to dig out the ferrals) Squier domed chrome knobs x 2 - £5 [s]Quality solder-less P bass wiring harness (from kiogon - CTS pots, switchcraft jack) - £15[/s] ill add pics asap. Also might be adding an encore P bass neck with fender decal soon
