I only have a few. My favourite has to be my Iron Maiden one from their gig at Download 2007. First time I had seen Maiden live! I use it sparingly and wash it inside out

Huh, better than ABM then. I had a missing saddle piece in a bridge and not only did they want money for it (which I was more than prepared to pay) they wanted twice again for postage. When I proposed that they do what your friends at Glockenklang do and tape this tiny piece to a letter, they stubbornly and rather tersely refused. So I bought a single no-name monorail bridge off eBay, took the saddle (which fitted perfectly) and binned the rest. Wasteful, but job done. Was a little miffed at the inflexibility.

I tried one in a shop once and I was unimpressed. Access to upper frets is poor - no contouring to speak of in the cutaway - you slide up and basically hit a wall. Pickups are pretty generic and I thought quite weedy sounding for the size/style of them. Not that it bothers me, but if you're a blender then there's no capacity for blending the pickups, 3 way switch and master vol/tone only. To sum it up, all they've done is ruin a perfectly good left handed bass as far as I can see.

I believe they are discontinued. Should really be removed from their site by now.

So much animosity directed at a wee funny shaped bit of wood which never did anyone any harm. For shame.

Ha! You should try contacting Gibson CS - see how many times you get ignored before you give up

I believe you should only contact the manufacturer (or the manufacturer who instructed the OEM to make your faulty thing) if you get nowhere with the retailer. I don't think it's rude at all for them to instruct you to go down this route. Also, while I fully appreciate that there's a principle at stake here, you're really getting your nose out of joint over a set of strings.

Ach, skinny BB - I'm out

9/10. Nae bad. Missed one of "the other guys" in Coldplay. Easily done.

I'm not even having my time wasted right now!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1404476130' post='2492955'] I have a 2x1x12 purple chilli setup at the moment... Sounds great and the cabs are super light but they are still quite big. [/quote] Good to hear you're pleased with the sound. Sure, probably doesn't take up much less space when they're stacked, but two pieces can be stored around the house and transported in more flexible ways than one monolithic lump of speakers and wood

I've only ever owned 2 cabs - an Ashdown ABM 4x10 (which I thought sounded great but was rather heavy) and my current Zoot 4x10 (which I think sounds great, is nice and light, but I'm thinking it's a bit bulky). Scheming to replace with 2x1x12 modular rig. But right now my "best" cab is the Zoot. Which of course means a Purple Chili now.
