[quote name='Zach' post='376416' date='Jan 10 2009, 08:13 PM']Another thought, but are you intending to sell the current MAG combo? Since that would boost your funds up to a grand or so, which would make the rig that big sweeter and lighter.[/quote] Good point!

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='376072' date='Jan 10 2009, 12:41 PM']Sorry is the budget £7-800 including the Ashdown or plus the Ashdown? If its including the Ashdown I dont really see it as an improvement as your Mag rig is £600 from the Gallery.[/quote] Yeah am hoping to move on the ashdown rig!

Signed!

Alright peeps, have had some good news this morning and have found out that I am soon coming into some money (aren't life assurances great..especially forgotten ones!) so am thinking of upgrading my amp setup. I currently am using my geddy lee jazz through an Ashdown Mag combo and cab and the style of music I play is rock and metal, I will have about £700-800 to spend and have been looking at everything from Ampeg to SWR but having only owned 2 proper amps in my life I'm not particularly knowledgeable on amps, so any suggestions would be really helpful. Cheers Dan

mmmm....jazztastic, nice looking bass and it's as old as me!

Hi bob from a fellow west sussex bass man! Dan

Niiiiiiiice, now where did i put that £600.........

Coooooooooool! Really like the look of that 12 (I'm a big fan of Dug from King's X) I myself used to own an Ibanez Musician 8 string (which I used to bi-amp) - wished these Deans were around 15 years ago! Dan

Always loved the sound of a Precision so went and bought an American Deluxe P and just couldn't get on with it so I've ended up with my Geddy Lee jazz now and am very happy with it! Dan

GOOD CHOICE, WAS LOOKING AT GETTING THAT ONE MESEL;F!

I've played with Looking4bass and he is a damn fine geetar player!

This week I have been mostly listening to my new purchases... Nickelback - Dark Horse (love Mike Kroeger's tone! ) Infectious Grooves - Groove Family Cyco (had a copy back in the 90's - buggered if I know where it went... ) Extreme - Saudades de rock (went to see them at the Astoria and was very impressed. ) Katy Perry - One of the boys (a man cannot live on ROCK alone ) Always helps to have a girlfriend who gets a discount at HMV, Lol! Dan

welcome back!

nice work, fellas!

My first gig in about 3 years is Extreme at the Astoria on 24th Nov...get the funk out!

Back in the '90's, the band I was in decided that we should all wear these strange garish trousers that looked akin to a pair of pyjama bottoms, this stagewear lasted two gigs till a young indie band that we were playing on a bill with took the piss so we went "back to black" so to speak, lol! And recently I have taken to putting my mascot, Floyd Pepper (from the Muppet band of course!) on top of my amp!

Right chaps, this is what Yamaha had to say.... "We do not have any current plans for a specific James LoMenzo signature model; however we are releasing a new BB414 which will be available late this year. This bass features a scratchplate and a design very similar to James' bass. For the more professional bass player, we will be releasing a new "Super BB" bass next year and although this may not come in the same colour as James' custom BB, the design and look of the bass is almost indentical."
