I did the Rolf Harris double take as well :-) Welcome anyway.. I don't suppose you'd consider changing your name and playing a diggerydoo just ot make me happy :-) [quote name='BurritoBass' post='1028959' date='Nov 19 2010, 10:24 AM']Welcome to the forum I too did a doubletake on that username[/quote]

I think he's right to complain and we should offer him his money back...... Mods, clearly you're not spending enough time/money with ranking searches and buying adwords on his behalf.... Hang on, have I got the wrong end of the stick here? Sorry, I forgot this is free (donation supported) site for Bass enthusiasts to share info rather than a commercial marketplace... Maybe he should spend his money on Evilbay - but that costs money to list and sell though.... I bet Caps Lock does not work there either... More seriously I would have assumed he was a troll from the first post. Hoever his record of pretty much only posting things to sell, rather than making any form of positive contribution, suggests he really does not understand how forums work... IMHO of course... I've found Basschat an excellent place - probably the best UK focused musical forum there is in fact... Cheers Mark [quote name='Clarky' post='1028837' date='Nov 19 2010, 07:58 AM']According to your profile, Geofio, you have been a member for two and a half years. In all that time you have posted 21 times, all about selling items. Not exactly an active, contributing and valued member of BassChat are you? So stop your whingeing and price your bass right and it might sell. PS, Tim[/quote]

Mr Rocco Prestia uses a TC Staccato 51.. ... Nuff said.. :-)

Thus the "they might say" ..... :-) But I was struggling to think of a more stable and inteference free power supply than a battery :-) [quote name='flyfisher' post='1024670' date='Nov 15 2010, 02:29 PM']There are few more stable and interference-free power sources than a local battery, so I'd be surprised if they use this as justification - although we are into snake-oil territory Personally, I can't see anything wrong with remote power, if it's implemented correctly. As previously pointed out, mics have been remotely powered forever and it would cost peanuts for amp makers to implement. I suspect it's all down to the 'standard' jack socket used on most guitars. Just one of those things.[/quote]

Bandmates.. Can't live with them, not allowed to kill them either :-))

I find that really helps encourage them to bid [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1023893' date='Nov 14 2010, 08:21 PM']Tried putting an abusive message directed at your watchers in the item description.[/quote]

I think the argument (common in hifi/AV circles) is that although the assembly is much the same, the QA process and component (from batch) selection are likely to be done with a little more focus in Europe/USA..

I'm trying to work out why they say it would improve the sound... I suspect they might say it provides a more stable power source than a bettery.. I remain to be convinced :-)

Typing "Ibanez Bass Serial Numbers" into google provides this link [url="http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/5751/8404.html"]Ibanez Serial[/url] Sometimes trying the obvious for yourself is a good idea...

You open a case with ebay 4 days after sales completed.. They then wait a bit for the buyer (not) to respond, then you close the case and they credit you the fees... The bit to remember is that you have to close the case....

Have you thought about using a LED headband torch? Poundland have them in at the moment for, you guessed it, a pound...

It's very handsome... Industrial looking as well..

I use a "Heavy Duty" Tiger amp stand for my Ashdown Mag300 Combo - works fine and cost about £20 off evilbay.. Works a treat.. It can be adjusted for height/stability...

I've downloaded it... Cheers Mark

You could contact Ashdown and ask them... They're pretty responsive... Try Guy Morrel at [email protected] Cheers Mark [quote name='makatak' post='1022138' date='Nov 13 2010, 06:22 AM']When I pack away my Ashdown Little Giant after a rehearsal/practice , i rekon I could fry an egg on the bottom of it , the top and sides are relatively cool , ive put stick-on feet to lift the chassis for more ventilation but still hot , is this common with the likes of markbass and Genz Benz as well ? , Ive never noticed the fan coming on and I dont drive it hard either .[/quote]

Are you doing the gig at Fat Lil's ? I was thinking of coming along anyway - if I do would my MAG300 combo be of any use? I can probably dig out an extension cab as well to give you 2x15.. Cheers Mark [quote name='Slaveunit' post='1014783' date='Nov 6 2010, 09:37 PM']I know this is well cheeky, but if you dont ask.... I'm in a right fix. Ive got 2 gigs in the next 2 weeks, and my Trace head has packed up. Went to Guitar gallery in headington and their amp repairer is away until december. Tried Nobby from music box, and he cant turn it around in time (to be honest, I wasnt all that pleased with the last time they 'fixed' it). I've asked the other members of the band, and my other band too for a loan but noone has one. I could even get away with using my practice amp if it had a DI, but im not that lucky. Does anyone in Oxford or the surrounding area have a head I could borrow? You'd be more than welcome to have my Trace 4x10 cab as a retainer (I have 2, but dont need the volume for either gig so am only taking one), you could even take my second guitar too if you like, free tickets to the gigs if you want them, and my assurance that it wont be pushed (stage noise only, DI'd through PA for power) and my eternal 'I owe you one' if youre ever stuck for a rig... Gigs are this sat (13th) in Witney and the one after (23rd) in Oxford. I'll collect and deliver same day. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it![/quote]

Alex, Thanks for this... How did you guess that sensitivity had swung me towards the Super Twelve T's ? :-) Cheers Mark

If you promise me right now you're a good Blues Brothers tribute act I'll come along on Saturday :-) And I'll bring some friends as well.. :-) Cheers Mark

And there is this from the rocking past :-) (apologies to Dom for crossposting)
