Mr Arkadin Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Hello there chaps, Another lurker here, recently bought an LMB-3 from danny-79, thought I'd finally poke my head above the parapet. So yes, another SE London starting bassist. Been playing guitar for years, started using heavier gauges for downtuning, moved to baritones then decided that I should go with the natural progression of going lower and just get a bass. My bass decision was easy as I love Chris Squire, Lemmy and Mike Rutherford so I think you can see where I'm going with this one.

After reading this forum for a bit I am fairly convinced I'll be getting some TKS cabs in the near future, probably two 1x12s, one with tweeter horn. I am also getting back an old guitar Marshall head from a mate of mine who's had it for nearly 20 years but doesn't play anymore. I can't even remember what it is, but I believe it is a Super Lead, so am thinking that I will get it converted to a Super Bass if it is and go for the full Chris Squire thing (minus actually being able to play anything like him). Any suggestions on cabs for these three heads (assuming it's a Super Bass) more than welcome, and any conversion advice for the Super Lead also welcome (as are any recommended London-based amp modders/repairers). Amp specs: Marshall DBS7200 - 200W RMS, 4 Ohms Marshall Super Bass - unknown as of now, prob 100W, 4/8/16 Ohms switchable Line 6 Lowdown HD400 - 400W RMS, 4 Ohms Edited October 22, 2013 by Mr Arkadin Quote
