Out of interest, settings wise on the HA5500 it obviously has the high and low contour, never had an amp with these on before. I cant have a full play round (at volume) till our next rehearsal but what settings on these would you recommend? The sound i have is very deep (almost muddy) and sometimes the highs do suffer for this (amlost silence on riffs/fills etc) so im lookin to obviously smooth this out but i do want the highs to still sound ''bassy'' and ''deep''

i recently acquired a HA5500 and am looking to have it permanently stored in a flight case. Im asuming for this i need rack ears? anyone know where i can source them and any tips on actually flight casing it?

Howard made me a great custom tort plate for my p-bass project. Great comms throughout, very quick turnaround and most of all a cracking new plate!

Ive stumbled across one of these in a local junk shop. Seems to be in good working order etc but my question is this (im sh*t at backline stuff!). My current rig is a MAG300 head into a MAG410 and MAG115. Im assuming i wont have a problem just swapping the MAG300 for the Hartke, mainly im thinking Ohm wise (i dont get ohms at all!). Cheers bass peeps

Im currently running my Burns Bison bass thru a MAG 300 into MAG 410 and MAG 115, i also use an ashdown compressor pedal. Whilst im fairly happy with the sound i do fancy tweaking a little bit. Plus the fact that since i added the 115 into the rig i do get a slight smell of 'metalic' burning coming from the head after an hours playin! Ive looked around and as im on a fairly tight budget ive narrowed down to either a 2nd hand TE AH-300, Laney RB9 or Hartke3500. The laney does seem to have swayed me tho. Does anyone on here have 1st hand experience of both the MAG and the RB9 and could offer their thoughts/advises on my predicament?

Been GASing after one of these for a while due to their resembalance of the Ricky 4005 (my 'most wanted' bass). Anyone have one on here that can give me their views on them at all?

bought an ashdown compressor of Revamp. Very fast delivery and great price. Pleasure dealing with. Cheers mate

Bought a compressor off Michael, came really fast and with a patch lead thrown in. Pleasure dealing with

bought a speakon to jack cable, great price and mega fast delivery. Great guy to deal with

I hold down the low end for Tornado Fires. Originals indie/rock band from Bolton. Played all over manc and our next one is 1st may at the ruby lounge. 5 piece with me on bass (Pow), Jimmy Kay on vox, Tony Ryan ont geetar, john Kay on drums and Cliff King on keys. We have a profile on facebook with some tunes on.

Just found a blank square piece of tort material on ebay, 3 ply but ill just have to check it big enough for me to make my own using the old one as a template. Size is 295mm x 250mm x 2.4mm so should be ok i think

Cheers for the links. Its a cheapo ive picked up off ebay that im lookin to do a mini project on. Its sunburst so for me HAS to have a tort plate. Then i plan to ''relic'' it by sanding down parts and finally adding a bridge cover. Dont want to spend too much as its only back up to my Bison bass. Might see if anywhere will cover the old pickguard in a tort vinyl or somethin

Evenin all. Anyone know where i can pick up a tort scratch plate that will fit a squire bass? I believe standard fender ones wont fit and i cant find the colour im after on ebay (found one but its just listed as ''p bass style scratch plate'' so not sure it will fit).
