Total Watts

  1. That was me. Can't recall weight, but I'd guess between 20 and 25kg. Closer to 25 probably. Relatively easy lift and slid into the car with the seats down easily enough.
  2. I used to have a Zilla 2x12 which was great. Not Barefaced light, but still manageable. Completely customisable and the guys there were spot on.
  3. Portability was a major factor for me too. I'd imagine you'll be fine with the 112's then. If I get a higher wattage amp any time soon, I'll let you know how they handle it.
  4. I have a pair of the CTM112's, which seem a very close cousin of the RM cabs, if not identical. I use mine with a 30w valve Little Bastard, so not had chance to really run them at a high wattage. Always used electric bass too, no acoustic sorry. I really like them. They're very lightweight which was a big plus for me. Small form means they fit into a car boot easily and don't take up a ton of space when not being used. I don't use tweeters so I can't comment on the quality of those. My experience is limited with only using the 30w but I'd quite like to get a smaller, higher-wattage head and put them through their paces. Running the Little Bastard as full bore, the cabs didn't seem to be struggling at all. Hope this is some help
  5. Yep, CTM112's. They come with huge badges which didn't look great imo, so removed them. Great cabs though, and a very easy one hand lift.
  6. I put together this small valve rig earlier this year. It sounds great and is plenty loud, even though it's only 30w.
  7. I've used Gee electronics in Warrington who were very good. Experienced with solid state stuff too, as a lot of amp repair places seem to focus on valve stuff.
  8. Not mine, but saw the ad and thought of this group https://www.facebook.com/share/1DbCrhekso/
  9. I've got a mid 80's Moon loaded body which had a Warmoth ebony/Birdseye maple neck added to it. (No idea what happened to the original neck). It's made of walnut and has the original passive "Jaggy" pickups which (I think) were made by Schecter. Like other have said, the slanted pickup doesn't make any noticeable difference, but it does look cool. It sounds quite bassy and not trebly like an ash 70's jazz does. Not a bad sound, but definitely the bassist bass I have. Build quality is great though. You won't go far wrong with a Moon bass
  10. Thank you, @Bagman! Superb!
  11. He was using his old Ibanez Blazer through a Hiwatt stack 😀 I saw them in 2020 too and he was using the Blazer and a sunburst 70's Fender P.
  12. In a bizarre twist of internet fate, I saw Supergrass this weekend, exactly 15 years to the month after they reformed! What a prediction! Superb band, Mick Quinn is one of my favourites.
  13. The original Schecters from late 70's to early 80's are outstanding instruments. Custom shop level and quite innovative for the day (coil tapping, etc). They were USA-made and still command a high price amongst the small group of collectors. The newer stuff pales in comparison and has a 'metal' aesthetic which doesn't appeal to many. It's a shame really as they could probably cash-in on their original heritage, but it's likely a very slim market. I think things such as the "Machine Gun Kelly" signature guitar would probably alienate older, more traditional, players like myself.
  14. Tempted, but I have 7 basses and 2 of those are Danelectro 😂 Shame you're moving them on but good luck! Superb basses!
