[quote name='The Badderer' timestamp='1435335846' post='2807881'] thanks for the tip about the silica gel. one of the reasons for considering the ACG is that it's a single cut so the join of the body and neck is much more solid and stable. I've got a decent hard case to transport it in. It will depend a lot on what the cost of the supplement is if anything. If i'm spending over £100 I may as well just buy a Fender or Lakland out there and then bring it back or ship it back. I'll ask Alan to see if he has any tips for transporting on long haul flights as he may have some good insight. [/quote] .... buy a bass out there... for a number of reasons listed above... but also if I went to try and get into bands in a foreign culture I would be more confident they would connect with something that looks like a Fender than a single cut with a crazy preamp in it.

more than the cost of a soldering iron....

Andy just popped over and bought my B3 - great fella - I hope you enjoy it!

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1435042186' post='2804801'] Ooooooooooooooooh NNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno!!!! £125!!!!!!!! I need to lie down in a dark room!! These things are like rocking horse ****!! In the UK, there can only be a very small amount of these and considering I am always on the lookout, all the time - It is years between a sighting!! Gutted isn't the word. I have one the same as shown, in a cherry burst, which cost me a LOT more than that, an awful lot more, from someone who knew what is was. Any sniff of who got lucky, I would like to know. Just hope is wasn't bought as a cheap learner, that is going to be customised!! Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear!! [/quote] found pics of yours on the blog... looks a wee bit different, two piece bridge and pups...? or just a variation on the same thing?

gumtree goes dead when the advert goes chasing a very cold lead but I think it's gone lads

it went though

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1434554012' post='2800729'] That's a [url="http://www.odysseyguitars.ca/"]Balogh Odyssey[/url]. 70s/80s hand-made Canadian thing, Flat Eric can tell you all about them, he's got two. Me, I just have GAS for one. Where is it, is it for sale, and if so, how much? I missed out on a guitar version on Edinburgh Gumtree that was up for £25. Seller thought it was cheap rubbish... Jon. [/quote] I was in northampton for £125 and but for the fact I was away on holiday.... looked a nice bass, you could tell it was fairly high build spec just from the photo

So... one for the experts this as it's got me stumped.... though I feel like I've seen it, or similar before.... what is it? (Bart pups)

I've had this as well... your TC Rebel heads are loud sounding amps but they aren't pushing much more RMS power than the MiBass/Mag etc.... so I cannae see a point in looking at other amps. Turn any compression off. Don't boost the low end on either your amp or bass. Make sure the EQ point on your low mid isn't too low either. Maybe you only need one cab? Try that. It will sound middy and a bit rubbish on its own but in the mix it should work well. It all depends of course if you have PA support for the bass or if you are providing the bass sound for the FOH. If you are taking a DI to the desk you can let the sound guy set the FOH sound and your amp is just a monitor for you. on the plus side if you only need one cab it solves your cab dilemma in your other thread

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1434310945' post='2798602'] Just showed that to the wife, who said "ooooh that's sexy, I'd sleep with someone who had that bass " [/quote] well theres two of them..... I don't even know how that works!
