I'm considering selling my SWR goliath ii 410 if you're interested? Good condition. £175?? I'm just after something a tad smaller.

Cool, cheers for the input. I'm in two minds about whether to sell or not. I know of a guy selling a genz 210 focus which really interests me, plus a guy selling an Aguilar chocolate thunder! Decisions, decisions.....

Nice one! I'm happy with that! Really cool sounding and looking cab. Can't wait to try my new TC BH250 through it!

I've managed to acquire one of these cabs recently and feel I got a pretty good deal to be honest! Just wondered if anybody had any idea about how much one of these bad boys is worth? I'm not thinking of selling, just curious! Cheers

Sub Octave - Compressor - Big Muff - Bass Attack : In that order. Never really seen any point in putting one before the other - I just go for which ever I use the most, where I can easily reach it! I also just use a daisy chain to power them, because it was cheap, but I have a feeling it won't last forever! I have used one of the power bricks and it was sturdy and looked like it wasn't prone to setting me on fire at any point!

I must insist that he/she paints every mark on the tolex and lost dial! Otherwise..... forget it!

I like the sound of the P-Bass, but don't like the look. This, rightly or wrongly, tarnishes my otherwise unconditional affection for them.

Personally, I always include photo's or if I can't at the time, I'll make sure I get some up ASAP. I'd always be a bit dubious about buying/trading anything without. You can usually tell if an item looks trashed in the photo's - if they seller is reluctant to post any, I wouldn't bother. It's like buying a house or car on good will or someone's say so - you wouldn't do it! I hope!

Listen, us bass players are cool. Nothing else. Guitarists are useless, forgetful liabilities, drummers, well don't get me started. Fact is we hold it together from start to finish. Standing at the back dealing out earth shattering tones and groovy bass lines. It's in our blood; we were made to do this. So no wonder people subconsciously know who we are?! Plus I have a beard. Beards are good.

Great read this - although I did first read the title as 'Interview with Mo Farah' and I thought, what's that got to do with playing bass?! How silly.....

I've been thinking about this topic (great thread by the way) for a while. Now I love playing bass - I play guitar too, but bass just does it for me. this probably has something to do with the fact that the gear is so much cooler - cool amps, powerful amps, beautiful guitars and chicks dig bass players (so I'm told). But something that really gets me down is that for all of the lovely gear out there, there are some real abominations. For example, I love Fender/Squier basses, I just love the shape (Jazz in particular and the Jaguar's), I love the classic finish and more to the point, I love the way they sound. Playing my jazz, I can dial up a warm, clunky tone whenever, wherever. I also love the fact the bodies are big too - mainly because, being a gentleman of a more robust frame, they 1) hide my beer belly and 2) don't make me look like I'm playing a bronco or bass designed for a child! Which leads me on to my next point: I recently visited a local music retailer (which shall remain nameless, but is an anagram of M.P.T) and the guy in the shop was nice and seemed to know his stuff. The problem was he kept asking me to try out things like (and here is where I finally list my point) Ibanez, I think it was an SR range in lavender, I mean lavender, come on, I'm not buying for my nan; and it just screamed 80's hair metal and was a tiny body. I tried Yamaha's same problem and the sound was pretty naff too. I also have a severe dislike for anything too metally - BC Rich, Dean, Early 80's stock bodies..... and really high end basses often just stink of over attention! Those Jerzy Dorzd jobs are simply horrid. I mean, you can't fault the craftsmanship that goes into something like that, but I mean, would you play one, in your local? Modulus the same, Zon, I could go on. Anyway - I like Fender and don't like small basses or basses that look like they belong in a gallery or expensive furniture shop.
