    And they work well for my drummer too. the one's the singers bought were terrible.

    I think get him to try some decent in ears and he'll never go back. Tried this with two singers who both bought budget sets and hated them, another bought a more expensive set up and it suited them better. Poor quality In ears can ruin the switch

    Nice cabs these. Black shoe polish for the stain and marks , trust me….😏

    This is a genuine limited model built to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Precision Bass, very different from other 2011 models that also sported the commemorative neckplate. The spec is as below. I have swapped out the pickups though, and it now has the superior Fender Custom Shop 62 split coils installed. I can swap these back if you'd like but the price will stay the same. The case and case candy are original and it's pretty much unmarked. You can see it's a transparent blonde nitro finish. The pickguard is single ply and the bridge string-thru. I don't have scales at the moment so can't tell you a weight but I don't think it's over 9lbs. I'll try to get it weighed soon. I would like it collected or meet halfway within reason. If you really want it shipped then I'll have to find a box etc. No trades please. Price is firm. 60th Anniversary Precision Bass Colors: (768) Series: Limited Anniversary Edition Body Shape: Precision Bass Body Material: Ash Neck: Modern C Shape Neck Finish: Lacquer Fretboard: Graphite Reinforced Maple Fretboard Radius: 9.5 (24.1 cm) Frets: 20, Medium Jumbo Position Inlays: Black Dot Position Inlays Scale Length: 34 (86.36 cm) Nut Width: 1.625 (41.3 mm) String Nut: Synthetic Bone Truss Rod: Posiflex Graphite Neck Support Rods Truss Rod Nut: 3/16 Adjustable Hex Nut Controls: Master Volume, Master Tone Hardware: Chrome Tuning Keys: Fender/Hipshot Vintage Keys with Tapered Shafts Bridge: HMV, High Mass Vintage, (Strings-Thru-Body or Topload) Control Knobs: Knurled chrome Pickguard: 3-Ply Black/White/Black Incl. Accessories: Fender/SKB Case, Cable, Strap, Polishing Cloth Unique Features: Thinskin Lacquer Finish, Vintage Style Pickups, 60th Anniversary Neckplate

    I find the Ashdown Tonepocket very very good.

    Preamp

    Muppet replied to stewblack's topic in Effects

    I went through this too. Sansamp Bass DI, Tech 21 Fly Rig, GK Plex, Tech 21 VT Bass DI, Fender Downtown Express, Darkglass AO Ultra... Eventually settled (for now) on the Ashdown OriginAL. I just love the sound that thing puts out.
  7. Muppet
    Yes exactly this. I have a small section that I keep with the RM800 in it's bag. If I take the amp out of the bag then this grippy matting stops it vibrating off the cab.

    Very impressed with mine. Sound quality excellent and any latency unnoticeable. The battery does last for hours and hours - I reckon I can get 14-15 hours worth. The connecting cable does seem rather flimsy though, compared to instrument cables.

    Bought a Stomp from Frank. Not only was it a great price, but it came with extras and he even delivered it to my house. Great comms too. A perfect gent and a perfect transaction.

    I grew up in Nettleham! Lovely village. Great amp, I have one too 😊
  11. Muppet
    Yeah agree with you there. I’ve still got mine unused in it’s box. I thought I’d keep it for use as a DI as it actually sounds pretty good, but then I got the Ashdown OriginAl pedal which is brilliant and not looked back.

    Rebadged Sunn amps that used to overheat If I remember correctly! and it was only 1200w at 2 ohms....

    feeling?

    Muppet replied to a topic in General Discussion

    I'd be really disappointed, frustrated and angry. This was my bass, customised for me, not an off-the-shelf purchase that the retailer can send me a second one of. I'd be frustrated that it is the job of USPS to deliver stuff safely and they've lost it. Just lost it, with what seems like no apology or real effort or care for an item that is mine and that they have no idea how much value I place in the item. I'd eventually get the money back and wonder if I wanted to go through the whole process again. Then the bass would turn up.
  14. Muppet
    Is delivery out? I would take it if you could post it!
  15. Muppet
    I put black on both of mine - apologies for double 3 ply-ness...

    My drummer always liked the sound of 'the one with the yellow speakers' the best. I owned both and eventually decided the Rumble 210 was the best for me, but I always miss that little CMD121. When paired with the matching NY121 it shifts some serious air though, and remains ultra portable.

    Boss SY-1

    Muppet replied to Woodinblack's topic in Effects

    I find the Hold function on this pedal is underrated. I'm using it live to hold an underlying organ sound whilst I play over the top, releasing and re-holding at every chord change. I don't have recordings but I'm using it for the intro to Python Lee Jackson's In A Broken Dream...works well.

    Beatles. Much to the disappointment and amazement of my current band members who assume I should know every McCartney bassline created...
  19. Muppet
    I had exactly the same experience and I assumed it was the cabs I had at the time - RS212 and RS112. I'd like to have tried it with the Barefaced cabs that I have now.
  20. Muppet
    Same here - mines the one with the pedal board receiver/tuner. Brilliant kit but not cheap.
  21. Muppet
    I’ve only got the studio 10 -I use it as a practice amp just for my den - but it’s got great features and a classic baked in Ashdown sound, which is the sound in my head. I dont think you’d go wrong with that range.
  22. Muppet
    Bit confused - you've just posted a link to the thread that you've just posted in which is in fact this thread.
  23. Muppet
    I get a lot of background 'hiss' when using the headphones with the RM800. Not noticeable when playing or with music in the aux feed, but on its own it's quite annoying. I just don't use it with headphones any more.
  24. Muppet
    Yes good point, I forgot about them. I even had one of the 210s and the 115HP before that. Neither set my world alight unfortunately.
  25. Muppet
    I think now Yamaha are running the show they've got some good business guys in who've identified that there's a pretty big market segment that they were missing out on with their previous hefty combos. They've joined the party now and I'm sure they'll sound great. Just a shame it's taken a while. And as far as price, wow....!
