    I'm looking to sell or down size my rig, This cab is in great condition and needs to be used it has literally been sat in my flat for the last year un gigged. I'd really like to keep in with the genz stuff as I love the sound, so a trade for a 410cab would be cool. Here's what genz Benz say about the cab, The GXB 1040 Loudspeaker We’ve developed this new 10" loudspeaker to better handle the riggers of bass reproduction. The GXB 1040 features an "m-roll" surround and a light-weight linen dust cap. The results are more rounded low frequencies, longer cone excursions, increased power handling and more articulate mid-range definition. All XB2 models (except GB 210T-XB2) feature kick-back casters and a rear mounted Edge Lift handle for easy transporting. Just tip back and roll away. BASS CABINET CROSSOVER All Genz Benz bass cabinets offer 1/4" and Speakon® connections, along with a variable tweeter level control for flexible connection options and additional tone shaping. • Parallel Inputs - Two 1/4" full range inputs are provided. Either one may be used for input from the bass amp. Use these two inputs when 'daisy-chaining' 2 cabinets together. • Full Range Speakon® Input - We recommend using this input with the appropriate cable when connecting to a high powered bass amp - 400 watts or more. • Tweeter Level Control - This controls the amount of signal to the tweeter. We recommend starting with the control at 50%. Then balance the tweeter output to the cabinet's speaker output in combination with your instrument's pick-up tone and amplifier clarity. DESCRIPTION The ultimate statement in performance and value that can rule on any stage. This model features all six drivers coupled in one chamber and with its XB porting has a low frequency extension usable to 25 Hz. Other response characteristics are its quick and articulate mids and crisp highs. Rated Power: 900 watts RMS. Components: Six GXB 1040 woofers, one GBE 4410 4" tweeter and one GBE 3560 4K Hz 18db crossover. Available in 4 ohms. Power Handling RMS Frequency +/- 10db Sensitivity 1W/1M Nominal Impedance Crossover Point Weight Lbs. Dimensions HxWxD 900 W 35-16k HZ 105 db 4 ohm 4 K Hz 130 44" x 25" x 18"

    Thanks guys great advice ill stop leaving finger indents in the pick lol. Ill also have a go using a metronome to build up my strength. I do find I hold the pick in a fist shape IE all my fingers tucked up...very similar to Jason newsteds style and i do tend to pound down as opposed to picking up and down. I take on board the advice given and see how it goes! Great vids too guys :-)

    Hi peeps I've just joined a covers act and find I've been using a pick a heck of a lot lately. Now for me this is odd as I've always played with my fingers. The issue I'm having is stamina, my hand seems to seize up while using a pick mid tune and I resort back to using fingers until the pain has gone in my hand. Could any of you pick players please give me some tips on using a pick Cheers

    [quote name='donkelley' timestamp='1382984835' post='2258821'] cool answers :-) I'm learning too here.... I've dealt a lot with craigslist and while I tend not to deal with the sort of basses that anybody would bother faking (hahaha), it is something I'm fearful of. I've seen a few obvious fakes but one of these days I'll hit an intentional and hard to distinguish fake. Gibson les pauls are infamous for faking.... and some have pretty subtle flaws compared to the real deal. there are dedicated websites all about how to tell if it's a fake, and it's amazing the knowledge some people have accrued through their musical lives! [/quote] yeah I agree there are some great answers on here and I find most times you get some real knowledgable people on here.. Unfortunately there are a small amount who sit on here all day waiting for someone to put a comer in the wrong place! Unfortunately I suffer with DRD a form of dyslexia so I keep these keyboard warriors on there toes! Thanks for your comments :-)

    [quote name='Musky' timestamp='1382956640' post='2258318'] Some manufacturers will create copies shoddy copies and sell them with pictures of the genuine article as the real thing - the price should be a give away. See tradetang for examples. Some individuals will modify copies to look like the real thing and sell them for inflated prices, whilst others will sell them for more realistic prices (as seems to have happened here). Yet others will have no real knowledge of what they've got, or feign ignorance and gloss over the fact. These auctions will sometimes point out that they know nothing about basses or add caveats in theit description. As for how to avoid being ripped off, as has already been pointed out - do your homework. If you can't find what you nred to know ask on the forums or PM someone who has a lot of knowledge about the instrument. If it seems very cheap, ask yourself why and treat with caution. That about covers it I think. [/quote] thanks musky :-)

    [quote name='donkelley' timestamp='1382908751' post='2257985'] I'm not sure if the OP changed his post in these critical ways, but as it reads now the OP states clearly what he's looking for in his responses: "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'd like to know if anyone out there knows more about the black market on basses and how we can avoid being stung"[/font][/color] He said he knew by the price is was a fake ("The price kinda told me it was a fake"), so his intelligence or gullibility didn't need to be questioned.... He asked good questions that I don't know the answers to, but maybe you folks here do know: [b]- Does anyone know more about the black market on basses?[/b] [b]- How can we avoid being stung (if, for example, the price and control layout wasn't a dead giveaway)?[/b] [/quote] cheers. I always find there are a few bad eggs on here who clearly feel the need to be rude.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1382908655' post='2257982'] mine was a failed comment on your intelligence but never mind! [/quote] why would comment on my intelligence!!

    [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1382859329' post='2257179'] Please tell us what kind of feedback you expected ? I honestly want to know. [/quote] Im happy with the comments above. As always people on here always leave great comments!

    [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1382721733' post='2255995'] Did you actually think it would be genuine ? [/quote] No mate not at all!

    Hi bassists I purchased this bass from a well known Internet sales site. this bass looked great from far but is far from good. It's supposed to be a Marcus miler jazz v. But this is not the case it cost me £120.00 so I'm not out of pocket as such, it plays well and sounds great but I'd like to know if anyone out there knows more about the black market on basses and how we can avoid being stung! Like I said the price kinda told me it was a fake but I needed a 5 string and this will suffice. Cheers
