Thank you so much gumtown! :hyper:

Please excuse my naivety with this but - with all you have written above, am I to simply go through every parameter and match your suggestions or is there a shortcut? Such as; a preset from which to base this on? Thank you again :)

Fair point, well made. I suppose we will see what the rest of our testing brings up. I just wonder whether emulation through an effects unit is as good, in my mind. But I appreciate what you're saying.

Thank you Jimmy; I've taken note of that; thanks again. I wonder, finding the best way to have the Bass go direct into my pre' - I can either Line-out from the Ampeg or I can hook my Bass up to my Boss GT100 unit and Line-out from that... one is digital and one is analogue I suppose. I will be...

Looking at using my new Ampeg BA112 for recording by using the line-out. The question I have (excuse my naiveity) is that the 'styles' knob offers 5 styles and they change the sound a lot (as you'd expect) - these 'styles'; are they a result of modelling in the same way Roland has COSM or...

Hi all, My BTB has developed a high pitched whine / electric noise when I crank the treble on the active EQ. What are the most obvious issues, the things I should look at first to fix? Thank you.

Not many Lakland in the UK. Some pop up on the used market, I'll be looking at the Ibanez ATK for sure also. A smoother Stingray is what I've read... will be worth a look

Hi Solarmist, again either really. I'm sort of leaving the door wide open to all options. My friend is still suggesting we trial a Stingray 5 and also look at a Lakland 5502, so here's hoping we find the holy grail...

Yes maybe so although I've not ventured into frettless territory before :(

Thanks again for the tips - certainly more food for thought. Music wise, I suppose the closest thing to what I mean is some Michael Cretu productions like his Enigma project... even though he doesn't always use real basses, it's that vibe.

No real preferences really, open to all suggestions. I'm just looking to build a list of basses to check out really. Thank you everyone for your tips so far! I'm already researching

Thanks for the tip :) budget is anything up to £1500 (around 2000 USD)

Hi there, Without being able to test a ton of basses, I'm trying to establish tone wise / low B string wise... what's the best guitar for modern sounding trippy orchestral pop. Want a smooth a low tone but with nice clarity. I see the Stingray 5 get rave reviews for its B string but from...

Thank you very much :)

Could anyone recommend some 'go to' initial settings on the GT100 for bass? It'd be a massive help.
