Hah hah. Due to my daughter coming down with croup it's still here, as I've not been able to go and get packaging materials. :-( hoping to get it shipped thurs or fri.

I only played through one once as a teen and it's stayed with me ever since. I'd love to own one.

Hah hah. No not just you! It's also the name of the toys from that film where the toys all tried killing each other (toy soldiers?)

Nice job. I never knew that.

That's this Friday folks :-D come come come!!!

Yeah they are split fellas indeed Prob a lot cheaper I'd guess

I must admit I don't get it either. I've played some HUGE places and not needed the power I had cause of the monitoring, and at a normal sized venue I'm near enough to amp to either not need monitors, or just a smidge. Even at backline only gigs the most I used was the old trace stack vs 2x100 watt Marshall heads and 4 4x12"'s in a very long pub. And that was with a pretty loud band. In Balance of Silence, (loud metal) the trace was still overkill T
The BFB recently proved it could fill a room easily too in a six piece albeit loungefly so not full on rawk much less DOOM!

I use the rather excellent wizard 'gaffer' which is a humbucker in a jazz sized casing, sounds immense for rock and solo'd at the neck can sound like a huge p bass sound, kinda like green say American idiot sorta tone and solo'd in the bridge adds a nice ray-ish snap. Stick two of em in a bass and BOOM. Sweet :0)

I get mine straigt from gorgomyte.com. It's about a tenner I think

Ahh. Cheers Dood.

Dribble..

I had the VS100 with an intact from panel but knackered valve sound into marshal bass 4x12 as my first rig. Loved it.

They do seem to have a few issues. I'd get two p110c's and the head next time tbh. The buckle gave out on the bag too, about five seconds earlier it'd have gone half way up a flight of stairs too!!

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='947979' date='Sep 7 2010, 09:26 AM']Oh dear what happened to your MARKBASS cabinets I wonder?[/quote]

Still not sure I should've sold. We'll soon see!

Ugh. Fivers are weird, I used to play sixes (status and ibanez) but just prefer four.
The ibanez had to go back, I'll fill you in properly when it's safely back. Save to say it's still awesome and I will get one again. But the sound of this rig is great so far. Three gigs this weekend, an open mic house band slot for the midget, a loud indoor rock venue for the stack and an outdoor festival stage on Sat to compare so we'll soon have more details!

Sounds ace, a bit like my b9.1. Might have to look into it some more!

Saga? Have a missed a saga? What's a Pearce anyway? Sorry to hear it's died.

Oh and while I'm here:

[quote name='walbassist' post='946690' date='Sep 5 2010, 09:08 PM']So, I've now added my second 6B to my PJB M-300 and goodness what a difference. Apart from the increase in volume, which is less than I thought it would be but still more than ample for any gigs I'm going to play without PA support, the quality and depth of the tone is supreme. I'm just getting more of the same fantastic sound.











Cheers all

I've never thought about these before and now I'm thinking very hard lol! What conventional configuration are those cabs analgous to? The head looks heavy?

How about the zoom b2.1 or b2.1ut? Really great bits of kit. Davemuadib uses one for just that. Infact his is programmed with just three sounds all with compressor applied it just goes clean (with some eq)> chorus>drive over and over. I've owned both models and really rate em.

Seriously, honestly, All of you, try it just once and see what you reckon!

Especially impressive on warwicks bell frets.

No more racks of stingrays, warwicks and statii no more trace or markbass stacks, no more huge pedal board.
This is my gig stuff:

And this is the whole shebang!

L to R: bassmaster funk, 1990 mij 60s reissue-modded, Barefaced midget T/ compact stack, markbass little Mark 2, zoom B9.1, 2008 cij 75reissue jazz, Harley Benton acoustic bass, (OBBM speaker cables, monster/elixir/zaolla cables and a QED power lead.
And just the amp for the curious..


And out of interest. Promethean p110c and a midget T :


Full promethean stack and the compact:


'scuse the dodgy late night iPhone pics.

Good point that. The strap handle does make my lm2 feel a bit precarious, I sorta hook the front feet over it.

First up is a Warwick deluxe bag. I've never really used it and have no idea how i ended up with it! Its Nicely padded and seems to go between £40-£60 new. Some scuffs from storage but pretty much spot on. Still got the sticker on it!

A Ritter doublebag. It has loose stitching on the handles which while i thought it alarming at first it seems fine and I'm sure a cobbler or useful Mum could sort it easily. I've been carrying two basses and a LM2 and cables round in it with no worries. It seems safe.

Ritter superpak awesome bag this. TONS of storage and with a dustbag (supplied) I've managed to carry two basses in it. The front pocket WILL fit a little mark 2 and there's plenty of pockets left for cables etc.
This was £100 new and the only issue with it is loose stitching on the zip which is an easy fix. This really is a tasty bag.

Wow that's mint. An awesome bit of kit.
