What is your transport and storage situation like? Do you want powered or passive? Do you own an iPad because if so you could get a small digital mixer and negate the need to ever buy racks full of processing gear? Have a good shop around and £1000 can get you a great set up. I sold a full BFM rig earlier this year for £800 including amps which absolutely wiped the floor with many off the shelf rigs (we used it at a rock wedding where there was a DJ with a QSC K12 / sub rig and it beat that all ends up for detail, volume and dispersion) but it was bulky and a pain to store. If you want powered I'm always a fan of RCF tops for reliability and build quality. the 322a's, 422a's, 722a's are great and less harsh than the 312a's etc. Our 322a's cost just £380 for a pair last yr from a sound hire company moving on older stock. They've done over 100 gigs now and are still brilliant. I heard a pair of these recently and they were very good http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_pyrit_15a.htm . I was surprised by the price too.

I used to use something similar to a gramma pad but instead of flat foam on the bottom it had a wedge. Worked brilliantly and cost about £4 to make.

When I had one a decade or so ago I used a Marshall footswitch and it did the job well.

I'm amazed anyone uses his studio at all. One wrong comment and he'll lambast you on youtube.

Really like the tonecraft and the reddi but was also pleasantly impressed with the Markbass too. Great review.

Up for sale is my GB Streamliner 900 with GB fitted bag Very loud, very warm very compact and in good condition. The shoulder bag is a little tatty inside but fully functional and looks perfect from the outside. It has a few tiny scratches on the top (as if keys have been left on top of it or something) which look far worse than it really is in the photos and one mark on the front right hand corner. As with most of these the LEDs inside have a mind of their own and come on after it's been on a while. I have a genuine set of replacement LEDs which were sent to me by "agedhorse" on the TB forum but I haven't dared to operate on the amp myself. I'll obviously include the LEDs. This however does not affect the amps functionality in any way. Not looking for amp trades anymore as I just bought the amp I'm after but would consider a swap for a P bass (something with a bit of mojo preferably). Price £340 INCLUDING UK POSTAGE You're very welcome to come and try this out, I have a studio in the shed so you can give it full throttle if you want.

Would never use an agent for pub work. If you're a decent band you'll get plenty of work without one as long as you go about it right (good demo vids, fb page, website etc). We use an agent for function work and rarely play pubs unless we feel like playing for fun. We get a good few bookings at a good price from it and also some short notice stuff. Again, good demo videos, a slick website and the likes goes a long way but nothing beats being a decent band.

I'd imagine they are for sale because they hold value well so anyone who has one but wants to free up some cash can do so knowing they're likely to get a good price. I tried one once and thought it was fantastic. Sadly I didn't and still don't have the funds.

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1442495118' post='2867346'] If my TC sells I may well get back to you... [/quote] No problem, it'll come back with a nice preamp! [quote name='Mark_ii' timestamp='1442500819' post='2867381'] What weight is it please ? [/quote] It's not the lightest at 10.3lbs which is 4.7kg in today's money [quote name='Mark_ii' timestamp='1442501018' post='2867385'] [sup]Sorry, second question:[/sup] [sup]Is the action high or low ? Does the neck feel like a regular Stingray or is it slimmer or chunkier[/sup] ? [/quote] I'd describe it as a medium action at the moment (2.4mm between fret and E string at 21st fret, 2.1mm at 12th fret). The neck is very much like a stingray, not as chunky as a P bass but much chunkier than a Jazz. [attachment=200913:IMG_7124.JPG] [attachment=200914:IMG_7125.JPG] -
How about just adding this [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/tc_electronic_rs_112.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...onic_rs_112.htm[/url] less than £200, perfect for smaller gigs / amdram stuff and would match the rest of your rig. If you got two you could sell your RS212 for about the same cost and you won't have lost any money.
