[quote name='disgrace of bass' timestamp='1432110301' post='2778145'] Hi Sean, thanks for the review - I really rather fancy the 300W version to marry with that lovely Purple Chili cab I bought off of you. Think they'd be a good match? [/quote] I think they would be a great match. I thought the TKS cabs I tried out tonally similar to the PC. Is there a dealer in your area who has any of these in? perhaps you could take the b=cab along to give it a try.

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1431960662' post='2776614'] Is it? [/quote] Yes, it is. Your comparison is a straw man.

I'd have both. Then a bag of chips in the bus shelter.

Another coat on apparently.

I had that Kia Ora once.

Why don't you email GK? There maybe a mod a tech could do.

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1431899262' post='2776101'] Here's a thought. I stopped at a zebra crossing for a pedestrian a few years back. I was rear ended by a bloke in a company van, injuring me, the wife, nearly killing my dog who was secured in the back of the car. The pedestrian almost got it to as he shunted me clear across the crossing. He lost his job as he wasn't supposed to be using the van outside of work hours. So by some of the posts here I should feel bad the guy lost his job? [/quote] So you've used two completely different examples to make a direct comparison. How do you equate a bass being left in a back yard as on a par with careless driving, injuries to persons and damage to vehicles?

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1431448907' post='2771506'] Mine arrives tomorrow... [/quote] Have you got it?

[quote name='geofio' timestamp='1431653094' post='2773712'] I love the sound the feel the look what's not to like. [/quote] I love the colour of the Ruby. Proper gorgeous.

Looks like a Westone to me

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1431585439' post='2772737'] I agree. Forged signature is fraud. What if someone had stolen the bass after the deliverer had left it? He was paid to do a job. If he's not willing to do that job, why does he deserve to keep that position? [/quote] I think this is a harsh judgement for someone doing a fairly menial job. Surely fraud is where someone has gained financially. The person who has gained is the OP who has got his goods, albeit in an unconventional manner. No one on this forum likes the idea of basses of all things being left unattended and at the mercy of the elements, but I think things need to be put into perspective, the bass was not damaged, not stolen and delivered on-time. All the bad things we talk about did not happen. Maybe the driver is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't and It's a pity this was not an opportunity for education and training.

I'm taking out insulting posts on this thread as insults between members will not be tolerated. Anymore and I'll be delivering this to the bin.

Is it E.K.O or Echo?

Extreme. If ever there was a miss-named band

Years back I met this lass who said her BF was a bass player too. What band does he play in, I asked? Oasis, she replied. That's a sh*t name I said, they should consider changing it. True. Is a sh*t name tho

[quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1431107724' post='2767926'] Most people go for the bypass mod for some reason, including the Rickenbacker purists. I guess the idea is that you should have the full output of both pickups to do what you like with, [/quote] Full output maybe, but it loudened the bridge pup way over the neck and the whole thing became unbalanced.

The secret to Chris Squire's tone is his bloody massive hands. I did a cap bypass mod on my 4001 and it sounded awful. Yes, more bass and loudness, but the tone was mud

Very Spectoresque. When were these made?

Thought I'd bump this thread as I've been looking at them. Anyone got one yet?

One of my most hated is The Manic Street Preachers. Cheesypretendtyanxtiness in extreamis.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1431009456' post='2766865'] How about 'Scraping foetus off the wheel'? yes, they existed (band name changed I think but all had 'foetus' in them somewhere). [/quote] They were all just one chap, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._G._Thirlwell"]Mr. JG Thirlwell[/url]. Bloody used to love his stuff me.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1431006875' post='2766833'] The Men They Couldn't Hang has always bugged me big time [/quote] Great band though. In fact, I think I'll put them on

Didn't Lemmy put Gibbo pups in his?

What's this one Sid's hitting?
