I use a 700RB into a GK 1x15 and 2x10, both of the SBX series. I had problems being heard with just the 2x10, but not so much now I have the 15" speaker too. I found that I could only hear myself with just the 2x10" if I stood directly in front of it. There is far more of a spread with the 15" speaker now, but there are still elements of dead spots in the room.

Just received an email saying that my order (I had a few other things in there too) has been fully shipped.

That's inflation for you. Back when I were a wee lad, three weeks was 21 days.

I bought a GK 700RB-II amp head off our Steve in February of this year. The whole transaction was nice and easy. Now, over six months later, I feel a bit of a chump writing feedback - I really should have done this a while back!

The whole thing was great - his static might be dirty, but his morals are clean! Thanks again!

PM sent.

I've both considered and rejected the Gator version! I need one with shoulder straps, and the Gator one only has the one strap. I can't recall any more reasons, but I remember saying to myself that it was the SKB or nothing.

There's nothing I can do about it. I'll just suck it up and put them further down the list of places to buy gear.

Hmm. Digital Village have just informed me that the case is out of stock and will not be in for another three weeks.

That's rather nice of you, thanks! I'll drop you a line (and fund postage and pint, of course!) when the time nears.

Again, it looks really nice. Glad to hear it sounds good too. This is the kind of stuff you want to hear just before you embark on a similar project! Well done!

For practical reasons - there are thousands of them about on the second hand market, plus parts galore - all Fender basses. But I don't really mind the fact that I don't like them.

Looks great! Where did you get the ebony veneer from? I'm planning on doing this to an Ibanez 5er in the near future.

And no, I don't see how one goes about attaching keys to them either. But that's what they are! [url="http://www.bombayduck.co.uk/wedding/wedding_gifts/Bride-and-Groom-Etched-Silverplate-Heart-Keyrings1299"]Link[/url].

If you get a pair of matching classy key rings, then the cases will still match and you would still be able to tell them apart. These totally not naff key rings should do the job:

Aha, but having moved from London to Sweden, I find I no longer need to put the case between my legs on buses. In fact, on the train in the morning, I usually have a couple of spare seats next to me for the case. I do live in a small town outside the middle of nowhere, though.

Review coming "soon". It will take a week to get here, and it will be used on Mondays and Saturdays...so about two weeks, then.

I ordered the SKB just now - I'll report back when it gets here and I have had a chance to use it. I bought it to replace my hard cases, which, although they provide excellent protection, are just too heavy to be practical right now. I take my bass to practice by bus/train/foot.

I would rather moderators worked out who was a scammer and who was sound based on reasons unlike the one you gave above, thanks for asking. Being in Hong Kong doesn't mean someone might be a scammer, but first post and website pictures do.

I have no problem with the fact that you were suspicious, my problem is with your initial explanation of why you were suspicious.

Oh, and exquisitely nice bass. I was just stopping by to admire Ken Smith's work.

The remote location should have nothing to do with it. Let's not stoop down to the xenophobic level of thinking that everyone on the other side of the world is trying to cheat Westerners.

What made me raise an eyebrow was the ":hyper:" and ":bassist:" bits in the ad. This suggests that it is from another forum.

And it is - a quick Google of "New bass is coming, so something have to go" (as it contains incorrect subject/verb agreement and should stand out) pops up two items - this Basschat ad and one from Talkbass. Same user name and location in both, neither account is newly opened, and 13 positive feedback on TB.

4 for now, all Ibanez. Two which are used, one which is a backup and seldom used, and one which sits in a cupboard as it's a 4-stringer...but I can't part with it, as it was my first.

I'm on the hunt for a 5 string Ibanez to defret. I should defret my backup, but I can't bring myself to do that either. Crazy!

Thanks all for the great replies!

I have managed to get my mitts on a Unibass. And I'm a lucky thing too - there was an article in Bass Guitar Magazine about them (Essential Effects)...I can't help but notice that the last two I saw on Ebay have gone for a good deal more than I paid for mine!

I have not been able to play it in a band setting yet, though, but will get to use it in rehearsal in a little over a week from now. It sounds great with the fifth when played at home with headphones. Score!

It's at home with me now and isn't going anywhere soon. Hope you find one soon.

Er, I sent a PM a couple of days ago about the Dunlop wah. Any news?

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='925341' date='Aug 15 2010, 09:42 AM']I'm just an observer here, but I've seen the bumpage here, and am wondering if potential purchasers are put off by the unknown cost of postage from Lithuania. Perhaps you could give estimates?[/quote]

Yup. I am looking for an Ibanez 5er to defret...there's one defretted here. I might be interested if I knew the postage charge!

New issue? I'm still waiting for my August issue! And a response to my where-is-my-magazine email!

Any news on the SKB? Does it take 5 and 6 string basses too? Worth a punt?

I have just completed a deal with jpdabass for a pedal. Excellent pedal, excellent transaction, excellent chap.

I was kept up to date with everything, the pedal was packed very well and I was even given a scan of the postage label and so on. A great guy with whom to do business - I wouldn't hesitate at all to go through it again.

Thanks!
