Dont know if this is any use? [url="http://www.lovemoney.com/news/scams-and-rip-offs/scams/12513/watch-out-for-this-ebay-scam"]http://www.lovemoney.com/news/scams-and-rip-offs/scams/12513/watch-out-for-this-ebay-scam[/url]

Sounds a bit dodgy to me. In two months he didn't follow up where the bass had gone? Sounds like he changed his mind and let it get returned so he could get his money back. I'd be very unwilling to sell anythiung like that via ebay outside of the EU. Dont know unfortunately ifyou have much defense to be fair with Paypal - was there not any tracking for the Parcel?

Guess these blow the idea of Italian style out of the wiundow.

I think the number of us that have bought this Rig from Andertons (My PF-500 and 210HE/115HE came from there!) they should offer BC'ers a discount.. lol

You could also ask Jim Fitzpatrick or possibly Phillomena herself - both are on Facebook and Jim is an all round decent guy. Chances are if it's genuine its a bit like a Gene Simmons one that I saw advertised a while back. Sat in a rack just in case and didnt get touched.

[quote name='Townes1992' timestamp='1333120515' post='1597777'] Yeah i have fancied those for ages, but i hear an awful lot of bad things about epiphone thunderbirds thats puts me off. Neck dive etc :/ [/quote] I sold an epi T-Bird to a fellow BC a couple of months back. i really regrett it to be honest. The neck dive can be cured to a degree by moving the strap button to the heel. The Thunderbird Pro's are nicer still - active pickups, better bridge, set neck. You can pick them up online from Thomman for about £250. The Earlier Korean made ones are better than the later Chinese

[quote name='Townes1992' timestamp='1333047172' post='1596764'] I have a sound in mind that i'd like, when it comes to appearence i'm not too fussy i dont think. I want something with a real big thud and punch! The p's i played didn't give me that enough, eventhough they sounded good. :/ I've been considering getting a bass made by Spector or Dean or maybe ESP (ltd) , i dont play much heavy metal (more of the harder rock stuff)) but i thought maybe these basses might have a bigger kick..... [/quote] Might be worth looking at the Epiphone Thunderbirds (Pro if you can find one) or a Jazz. Since i started rehersals with the new band I have fallen back on using the Jazz.

If you like the Celtic stuff, [url="https://www.facebook.com/#!/jimfitzpatrick"]https://www.facebook.com/#!/jimfitzpatrick[/url] did a lot of the Thin Lizzy stuff and a few others. Nice bloke to.

£900 on a Portaflex stack has stopped me!

PMT by any chance?

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1328440293' post='1526835'] I`ve got an Ampeg PF500, and it`s a really great amp. It definatley provides that full, rich Ampeg sound. Rather than go through my opinions, here is my full review of it: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136339-ampeg-pf-500/"]http://basschat.co.u...9-ampeg-pf-500/[/url] [/quote] +1 Love my PF-500. They will be releasing a 4x10 PF cab soon as well

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1332324612' post='1586531'] Just go for it. Why do you need to tell Guitarist A about it? If it's a completely different project then it's none of his beeswax, surely? The fact that he initially introduced you to the others has nothing to do with it. It's a completely different situation. Look at it this way. If he had introduced you to some bird you subsequently had a relationship with, you wouldn't ring him up and tell him every time you shagged her, would you? [/quote] BUT if it was his bird in the first place, he would be mightily p******d off I would imagine...

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1332321832' post='1586474'] Ooh look, a random note generator (the one on the left). [/quote] That was a freebie... I can get several random notes out of it, but it sounds like i'm going "Resevoir Dogs" on next doors cat... LOL

[i]Nooooooooo..... only just got my cabs... aaahhhggg.. lol[/i]

Lined all this up to take a picture and was quite shocked by how much I have! [attachment=103086:DSCF2945.JPG] The Folk section (never guess my parents were folkies would you...) [attachment=103087:DSCF2946.JPG] Token Guitar stuff - learned bass first, then started toying with guitars. Amp is a Crate G80XL. [attachment=103088:DSCF2947.JPG] And finaly the bass collection - nothing exotic or particularly expensive - mostly self builds bitsas apart from the Jazz and the Westfield [attachment=103089:DSCF2948.JPG] Bass amp is my new baby - Ampeg Portaflex PF-500 head, with matching PF210HE and PF115HE cabs, toped off with a Senheiser Freeport Wireless system.

You can get adapters for the "Euro" Plugs from Maplins and the like. My PF500 (despite being sold in this country) came with a Euro plug kettle lead from new.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1332243148' post='1585302'] Me like very much! How does [i]that [/i]sound!? And what's that other rig just behind it and to the left... the big white one? [/quote] Thats the wifes rig.. oh sh*** she's reading over my shoulder.... Now i've had a few rigs in my time, Marshall and Ampeg Combo's, Carlsbro stack, Trace Elliot 7215 combo, and played through quite a few (Peaveys, HH, Ashdown, Ampeg V4B and SVT). There are only 3 Set-ups that I have tried that have really made me go "WOW!". Being this, the V4B and the SVT. I was offered an early SVT head with an 8x10 Cab in the 90's but didnt have the money the guy wanted. But after playing through that I realised what I wanted and couldn't afford. I haven't had chance to get it over "Bedroom" level yet - the 1x15 only arrived today and our walls are paper thin!! But I have manged to get a nice sound with the bare minimum of tweaking. It's not an SVT but it certainly sounds like an Ampeg. Don't think I'd swap it for anything.
