you lucky bast*rd that is bloody lurvley.

damn good post & a damn nice set of basses-i especially love the antigua jazz,i'd sell my left nut to buy one of those.

i've had a few over the years but- by far the best sounding rig is my current one SVT3PRO & B410 HLF prettiest amp was a Hughes & Kettner Bassbass 600 & Ashdown ABM500 1X15 (sounded ace for about 6 years then went tits up) worsts rig (prepares to duck) Trace Elliot head (GP7SM graphic,can't remember the model-250 ish watts) & T.E. 4X10 & T.E.1X15 i just could not get a usable sound out of it try as i did. rig i trusted the least GK1001RB-11 & GK115SBX-11 sounded great but the speaker sh*t its pants quite easily.

if you can find a used one i reckon an Ampeg SVT3PRO is a good option,i sold my GK 1001RB to get the Ampeg. i find it has bags more punch than the GK ever had,well at least for the blues/rock stuff i play.

i bought one of the bay last year for £250,mind it was pink & a bit battered but played nice.

hi Phil,i owned one for about a week (don't ask) & it played really nice,good tone & punchy as hell.

A J makes me feel slightly better about myself.[/quote] ah now its clear if you play a Jazz you're only a wee man if you play a Precision you're hung like a stallion

just kidding couldn't help meself.

now this should be interesting--you little devil you. ok here goes P bass are best so there-cos i play one J basses are crap

Lemmy now i reckon he is extremely over rated (in my own personal opinion of course) mind would you class him as a bass player or just a noisey b*stard

[quote name='andy67' post='184330' date='Apr 24 2008, 10:52 AM']the b series ampeg gear is pretty good especially th b410hlf.[/quote] +1 i'm really impressed with my B410HLF. if your local SC stores are as good as mine they like a good haggle i got my B410HLF for £365.00 & my SVT3PRO for £669.00 12 months interest free--pretty damn good i thought.

Glad to hear you had a good night. Tony[/quote] thanks Tony. aye it's a real nice place to play & always has a freindly atmosphere too. let me know when you play there & i'll come for a listern & a few beers too. Neil.

in a word awesome we played my local venue "the worlds end" in Knaresborough last night,it's the very first time i've used my new Ampeg rig in a band situation & man it was absolutley awesome,my bandmates & a fair few punters said my sound was awesome too. the whole band played really well,especially our drummer who's full of cold,& all band members recieved praise for their performance.the paypacket's not large as its only a small venue but getting £30 each for enjoying ourselves all night has to be a damn good thing. + they sell Black Sheep bitter on draught too roll on the next gig cheers.

that looks really nice. if you really want it & you can afford it i'd say buy it & enjoy.

sounds damn good to me Kev as for the speaker i had me auld 1001RB on half volume so the bloody thing should 'ave 'andled it. let me know if you're playing near me anytime & i'll bring t'missus to see ya' take care mate, all the best.

ay up Kev,glad you got it sorted mate.was it just the crossover that was shagged then ? nice sounding cab eh. Neil.

funny you should mention it--i just sold 2 jazzes & my warwick & bought a MIA 62 reissue P + a MIM P . why-well they just sound right to me & they're so uncomplex that i find i just get on with playing them instead of messing with onboard preamps et..hence i enjoy it more.

ok i was nearly right so its E-B-D-A (+ a few twiddley bits ) my memory aint what it used to be.
