    [quote name='TheGreek' post='1188306' date='Apr 4 2011, 08:47 PM']My main gripe is about is how some "would be buyers" ask the most mundane questions without even doing any research of their own - a quick visit to the manufacturers website would yield all the answers to their questions and even answers to questions they hadn't even thought of...worse however are those who you know have no intention of buying but ask daft questions anyway - I answered their questions respectfully and informatively even though I knew they weren't going to part with any cash..[/quote] Sorry to hear this mate but it is, I fear, partly a result of the avalanche of information available around us. There's almost too much to deal with and people back away and can't be bothered to look for it. We often encounter a similar situation with our band where people ask the most mundane questions about our regular gigs - for which the answers are available from the venue websites, ticket agents etc etc... e.g. Q. What time are you on? A. Ask the venue Q. How much are tickets? A. See the venue/ticket agent website Q. When are you playing *insert venue*? A. See our gig listings on our website/Facebook or check the venue website and believe it or not... Q. "What bus goes from the local station to the venue and what time is the last bus back?" A. How the F**K do we know?!?!? and Q. "What time is the last train back to town?" A. See above!!! Basically, rather than spending time e-mailing us and waiting for a reply they could have looked up the info online and got the answers they required within seconds!!

    [quote name='Beedster' post='1187095' date='Apr 3 2011, 09:09 PM']So if a guy has the perfect bass (pre-CBS Precision), perfect strings (La Bella heavy flats), perfect amplification (loads of tubes), what's the best cab for the American 60s/70s tone we're talking here.....?[/quote] Studio or live? Studio - an old Ampeg B15 fliptop Live - an old SVT 810

    Definitely my favourite era of music, so much 'space' in the music and prominent, full bass tones aplenty.... My personal faves HAVE to be Peter Cetera (Gibson EB3L & Fender P) on the first 11 'Chicago' albums...... and Tiran Porter (Gibson EB3L, Fender P & Gibson Thunderbird) during the original Tommy Johnston-era 'Doobie Brothers' . Both played with taste, melody, rhythm and finesse..... and their bass parts were clearly audible! Also love Joe Puerta (Ambrosia), Leon Wilkeson (Skynyrd), Kenny Gradney (Little Feat), Dave Hope (Kansas) etc...

    [quote name='blackeyedgirl' post='1182337' date='Mar 30 2011, 03:20 PM']Massive Journey fan right here, Ross is my idol and I have a small obsession with Steve Perry! Are you seeing them in June?[/quote] Yes and yes Seen them with Steve Augeri, Jeff Scot Soto and Arnel Pineda.... great every time I'm too young to have seen them with Perry (to my mind the finest rock singer of the last 40 years)

    The best pickups to replace the EMG-HZ's with (IMHO) are active EMG35DC pickups. This is what you will find on the US Spector models....

    [quote name='woodyratm' post='1175464' date='Mar 25 2011, 12:28 AM']hey guys, been doing some thinking recently - do i really need my ampeg SVT CL and SVT HLF610? They're bloody heavy and i don't actually think i have room for them in my flat! I'm not gigging that often per say - maybe once a month if I'm lucky (and we're talking for 30/40 mins). Was thinking of getting a Sansamp RBI with some form of power amp perhaps with a lightweight/small 2 or 4x10. I play mainly dance/rock/daft stuff - Like really effects laiden and what not. I realize that the SVT is amazing sounding, I just feel i'm wasting it and killing my back/car at the sametime. Help? [/quote] RBI into a lightweight power amp with a Genz 2x12. Has and does work for me!

    As part of a small gear change-around I'm offering up one of my amazing Genz Benz Neox212T cabs! Here's the gumph: [b][u]Genz Benz NEOX-212T Description:[/u][/b] 600 W, 2x12" Neodymium speaker with tweeter. A compact, dual 12" design that drives with the heart of a 4 x 10" enclosure. The coupling of the 2 Neodymium loudspeakers along with the X porting of the cabinet combine to project round, solid, explosive performance on any stage. The lightweight design, "Edge-Lift" handles and tilt-back casters make traveling with this NEO a breeze. GNX 12300 Neodymium Loudspeaker: Our custom designed 12" Neodymium cast frame Loudspeaker is rated at 300 watts RMS and utilizes a 2 1/2" aluminum edge-wound high temperature voice coil. The 7 oz Neodymium magnet assembly is encased in a large heat sink structure for exceptional cooling. The paper cone, spider and dust cap have been calibrated to deliver the low frequency support and mid range articulation that today's bassist demand. Dual Edge Porting Integrated into the cabinet design is a unique "Dual Edge" porting system which places a shelf port in each corner of the baffle face, forming an "X" across the radiating surface of the enclosure for increased low frequency support and projection. [b][u]Genz Benz NEOX-212T Specifications:[/u][/b] Power Handling RMS: 600W Frequency +/- 3db: 42-18K Hz Sensitivity 1W/1M : 101 db Nominal Impedance :4 ohm Crossover Point : 4 K Hz Weight Lbs. :50 Dimensions HxWxD: 31" x 21 1/4 " x 16 1/2" These cabs have received amazing reviews for their incredible sound in an amazingly portable package. You WON'T be disappointed! e.g. [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/59720"]http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/59720[/url] [url="http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Genz-Benz-NEOX212T-600W-2x12-Bass-Cabinet?sku=601470"]http://bass-guitars.musiciansfriend.com/pr...inet?sku=601470[/url] (click on "Read 8 reviews" on right) [url="http://www.music123.com/Bass/Bass-Amplifiers-Effects/Bass-Amplifiers/Bass-Amp-Cabinets/NEOX-212T-600W-2x12-Bass-Cabinet.site7prod601470.product"]http://www.music123.com/Bass/Bass-Amplifie...d601470.product[/url] (click on 'reviews' tab under pictures) Condition is Excellent/Lightly Used (home/rehearsal only) with just a few light carpet scuffs and some light scratches on the corner protectors. No photo to hand at the moment but here's a stock one: These are £750 new...so price wise I'm looking for a VERY reasonable [b]*SOLD*[/b] - cash on collection preferably, but will accept bank transfer or Paypal (with fees paid by buyer). Collection would be from Guildford, Surrey area but I could deliver within 50 miles for petrol money.... Please see my feedback link below for assurance of a clean/honest transaction
