I had a Fender Bassman 50 top and the smaller 2x15" which I bought for £95 in the 80's. I got some Fender signature D140s with the orange backs from Paul McCallum at Wembley Loudspeakers who re-coned them for me. The set-up sounded awesome. When I sold the setup (a big mistake) I put the...

I'm still puzzled by the AES socket, TC only make one interface with AES which is the Konnekt X32 which is not a portable interface. The Motu Traveller has AES which is portable so I guess that is a good choice. It might be an idea for TC to make an AES to firewire400/800 box, then we will be in...

Hi All, Let me qualify my post about recording. Having a 24bit 96k AES output on the amp is of reasonably limited use. I have a decent MAC/Logic/Motu 16in/16out system at home. My oldish D/As have AES but it's 24bit 48khz at max. Only newer high end gear has 24/96 AES and the most popular...

Hi All TC users, Has anyone used the AES out to record anything yet? Phil.

Hi Guys, I tried the MXR yesterday but have been a Boss OC-2 user for 20 years+ I did have a Yamaha one years ago which was great (as I remember, anyway) but it was stolen in 1983. It ran on batteries only which was a drag. I did have an early EBS which was good but not as good tonally as the...

Hi Guys, I have 3 Overwater J5s. A 1998 Maple/Ash and two 2004s one fretted rosewood/ swamp ash and another fretless ebony/swamp ash. All quite simple construction, with John East J-Retro circuits and bartolini pickups. I'm very happy with them. Phil.

Hi Danniee, The original P-Bass pickup until 1957 is a single coil and will be noisy. A friend of mine has an Allparts retro P-Bass like an early 50's one. He tried everthing to make it quiet, but with no success. A Seymour Duncan Basslines or a USA Fender vintage pickup will be fine and...

Try as many basses as you can and make the choice based on that. I sent a friend of mine to Denmark Street in London to try all of the P-Basses there were. He tried about twenty and came away with a Classic 50's Mexico bass. This was my hot tip, but I didn't tell him at the time. They are great...

Hi Guys, I saw Janek Gwizdala the other day at the Pizza Express in London. He was giving it loads through a Rebelhead 450 and one 210 and it sounded great, no bottoming out or farting. He was using the Moogfooger band pass thingy and there were no problems. I'm trying out a Rebelhead/RC4...

I have some Bare Knuckles in my '83 Squier P-Bass and some overwounds they did for me called 'The Ox' that I have in a USA '57 reissue. They both sound great. The 'Oxs' have a bit more edge and are awesome with a pick. There is no mention on their website but if you email them they will be able...

Hi Patch, I was in the design team for the Delta range. It was Chris May, John Wakefield and me going up to the Carlsbro factory at Kirby-In-Ashfield every Wednesday for a while. They did do a 1x15 cab with no horn. There are a few about, I will keep my ear to the ground if one comes up...

Hi Gang, my first post so be gentle with me! I have the RH 450 which I'mgoing to try over the weekend on a TV Show I am playing on. I've already fired it up with my Euphonic 2x10 and it sounds fabulous. I'm waiting for a 2x12 cabinet and must get an RC4, but so far extremely impressed. I do have...
