[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1430424491' post='2761396'] Bought 3 Behringer in a case with clips for £25.00. They do everything the SM58's do in the studio. Sound more than good enough to rehearse with and we can get more volume out of them before feedback too. I dont think you could abuse them as much though. Definitely not as robust. [/quote] I bought those too and record drums with them (along with a t.bone kick mic) and get excellent results. The SM58 clones are actually better than the Sure versions in a lot of ways, but you're right, they're not exactly made of glass but I wouldn't want to tour heavily with them. On the other hand you can get a LOT of XM8500 mics for SM58 money, so...

[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1430473760' post='2761711'] Nobody cares about the bass player apart from other bass players, so I don't bother messing around with knobs all the time. [/quote] Are you saying that other bass players are knobs?? Edit: If so, you're probably right...

[quote name='dincz' timestamp='1430472476' post='2761694'] That number's good for voltage or current but square it for power i.e. 2 [/quote] So the Behringer iNUKE NU3000 power amp in reality provides only 1500W RMS @ 4ohms? Feeble!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1430472214' post='2761684'] Very true, it didn't take off at all. I wonder whether that was because it was no good, or because people didn't like the look of it. [/quote] Maybe because people would always be thinking about where to position the pickup... is it too near the bridge or the neck? Would it sound better just a couple of mil in either direction? Some people don't like extensive on-board multi-frequency tone circuits because they find themselves constantly fiddling with the EQ instead of concentrating on playing. One of the many advantages of a P-Bass is that you don't have to think about it. The other possibility is that you would find a position you liked and just leave it there, which begs the question, 'why have adjustable pickups in the first place..?' Something like that, anyway.

[quote name='72deluxe' timestamp='1430401849' post='2761053'] Ah thanks. I thought you meant the Bugera (also a Music Group brand, aka Behringer) VEYRON TUBE BV1001T. But that's a little pricier, and looks like a component from a "hifi separates" set that were all the rage in the 80s. [/quote] I think the Veyron is a clone of the Streamliner, only with a compressor.

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1430418764' post='2761296'] ...the SD anitquity II's I had were nice but a bit more old school and 60's sounding to my ear. [/quote] I think the Antiquity II in an ash/maple bass would crack it. It's around 10-11K which is where you want to be. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1430420476' post='2761334'] Maybe it`s a combination of the ash/maple/heaviness and the pickups themselves... [/quote] That's it right there - it's a combination of the three. Excuse my ignorance but what is a 2010 P made from?

[quote name='72deluxe' timestamp='1430401463' post='2761044'] Which amp is that? Is that the one named like a Bugati? [/quote] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_bvt4500h.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_bvt4500h.htm[/url]

Nice. Goes well with leopardskin. You should wear leaoprdskin Spandex on stage.

You see a lot of stuff on the interwebs about Behringer and their alleged low-quality and low-reliability, but it's worth saying once again that they do manufacture and distribute more products than every other brand put together, so statistically you're going to see more instances of Behringer failure than anything else. Of course people don't post anything at all if their products are performing OK, why would they? For what it's worth, the Behringer products I've used have all performed perfectly well with no issues. I think I might buy that £99 bass amp for the hell of it and kick it around a bit, see how that goes... And another thing, I had cause to use a TC bass amp as backline and I did not like it one bit. It didn't blow up, however.

[quote name='ubit' timestamp='1430387459' post='2760846'] ...on the whole the vast majority of people haven't got a clue about the subtle nuances of live playing! [/quote] And why would they? Rock 'n' Roll wasn't about technical ability or sound quality, it was about the visceral joy of primal rhythms and abandoning oneself to them, preferably groping a bird with giant bangers while being off your head on floor polish, or something. The means of production and the drugs may have changed, but the basic premise is the same.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1430349562' post='2760639'] Young girl!!! [/quote] See? It's all in the mind...

Thank you. Your Nipponese-info is very impressive as always, Jon.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1430328024' post='2760388'] You should get her a t shirt too. [/quote] Wahey!!

I'm not sure if I'm attracted or repelled by the idea.

[quote name='deepbass5' timestamp='1430324419' post='2760333'] I have a complimentary ticket for her to come and see me play at the weekend, we have to be there for 09:30am and if she is good she can help carry my gear back to the car afterwards [/quote] You are so very kind to your missus. I bet she holds you in the highest possible esteem. [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1430321402' post='2760278'] It's not far off Mrs F's birthday. I'm going to get her one.

[quote name='epic576' timestamp='1430324418' post='2760332'] Shows me up for not proof reading [/quote] Poof reading is absolutely essential to avoid embarrassment. Nice bass, and a bargain too. The tweaks shouldn't cost you much.

[quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1430323750' post='2760326'] I used a Superbass with a 1212L for a while. Was a good combination. [/quote] I'm not familiar with that amp. Is it another 'affordable' model?

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1430325109' post='2760342'] Is it just me or has he not bothered to fit the fixing screws to the tuners? [/quote] Meh. Well no-ones going to [i]play [/i]it are they? So it doesn't matter.

[quote name='monkey_dancer' timestamp='1430165705' post='2758618'] Nice bass! I've only tried one of these once but it definitely left me wanting more. [/quote] Do you mean 'wanting more' as in 'wanted to play it some more', or 'wanting more' meaning it was lacking in some way?

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1430323487' post='2760318'] Has it been attacked by a leopard? [/quote] Good spot!
