Hi all, im loving the Helix stomp - it really is awesome. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or custom tones for creating a fretless patch?

Another thing to consider, the v4 icon has a smooth neck, and the v4 standard that I have is a varnished neck. The pickups on the icon are really quite awesome. The standard pickups are really good too. Just remember that the 2 pots are not necessarily one for volume and one for tone. They definitely seem to have an impact on each other. You can whack the volume up, then add more by opening the tone up and it gets louder. Weird. Love my v4s. Strung with rotosound flats it's great for little money.

That's utter balls. DONT accept it. By accepting you will bring the matter to an end. They took money to provide a service. They didn't provide the service. The reason they didn't was their fault and they volunteered that information. No way on earth do they have any legal right to do that.

I have a rm212t that is up for sale, that I'm letting go for next to nothing. Will accept £80. I'm near Chorley/ preston.

Here you go! Just shows you how compact the cabs are. It's a quilter 800 and helix on top. Also, the 2x10 is on top and 4x10 at the bottom. It's not a camera track - they are very similar in size.

Lucky enough to find a mint unused n210 as well today. Picked it up. Fantastic. Now makes a great deal of options and modular set ups: 2x10 - small gigs. 4x10 - medium to large. 2x10 and 4x10 - very large and outdoor. all super lightweight and compact too.

They have quoted a price to you to deliver that parcel and by paying you have agreed to that contract. If they then don't do what you've paid for in my eyes they are accountable and broken that contract. This insurance farce is appalling.

If it's "lost" then they don't know where it is and can't prove how or who lost it. However, in this case they have 100% not done what you ask and they promised to do - their error caused it to become lost - and insurance should not have to come into play. Insurance is not there for when a company does not do what you have paid for. It's for genuine losses etc. They have admitted it's 100% their error AND they did not do what you paid for and what they said they would do (ie deliver it). Demand 100% back on this basis. These companies need to be stopped with this 'we'll do what we want and you'll suffer unless insured' rubbish. In no other service does this type of rubbish apply.

Thanks, there was one on gumtree for £200. Said it had no markings to date it, but lots of people had said it was a late 80s due to the shape of the headstock.

Hi all, Does anyone know anything about late 80s tokai hardpuncher p basses? In particular the post lawsuit 're fender headstock copying. Are these good basses, playability, value etc?

Well, I'm very very impressed with this cab. Sounded great through the helix (svt) and quilter. Loads of volume and having the tweeter on really helped the high notes shine through. It was a big noise eating stage, and a big hall with a very high ceiling, and it coped great. I could hear every note and it just sat well on stage in the mix. Next week is a small hotel, so it'll be interesting to see how it sounds more enclosed, but I'm sure it'll not break a sweat and sound fantastic.

Just done sound check. Sounded great. Loads of power left. Really sat well in the mix.

I'd agree to a point, but they've really upped the quality recently with the nexus and the valve range. They started off as others have said supplying the likes of Sabbath etc, I think they just had a ropey few years in the 80s and 90s which unfortunately put a few people off. On first impressions this is gonna be a great buy though.

I got this yesterday as an ex demo immaculate condition. Less than half price. 4x10 speakers - 600w rms at 8ohm. These are the nexus cabs to compliment the impressive looking nexus range. Firstly it's VERY well made. Nice proper stuff n nuff paint covering but looks really well applied and thick without looking awful. Looks a really nice finished article. Back panel has input speakon, but they look like dual speakon where they can take a standard jack cable too, and a link socket to another cab. Also two horn switches for on and off, and full and half. First impression I had when I unboxed was ...... have they sent me the right cab? I looks for all intent and purposes like a small 1x15! But I've checked and it's a 4x10, it's amazing they can make them this compact. Memories of my old ashdown mag 410 deep where like carrying a house around. Weight is brilliant at 23kg - that's the same weight as a barefaced 410. With all the raving and praise barefaced get for lightweight cabs, it's amazing no one has mentioned these. Having owned a barefaced the laneys feel much more substantial and not in the slightest delicate like barefaced can. It feels solid and it's dimensions don't make you feel it could get knocked over or backwards. It's well proportioned and has enough weight to feel substantial. It is however still 23kg. Don't go getting carried away thinking this is like lifting a feather! Handles are quality metal and easily up to the job. Sound wise - and it's only had house play so far - is awesome. Very rich and filling sound. Nice and tight, but with something musical to it, rather than just tight. Paired with my quilter 800 it coped easily with very high and very low notes without losing any quality. It also sounds good whatever eq I seemed to put through it. It's going to get an outing at this weekends gig, which is quite a large one, so it'll have a proper test. It's even a really viable option for an 8x10 if needed - x2 cabs at 23kg each. And these cabs, considering what you get are cheap! You can get them new for around £500 - half of a barefaced st or 410. Specs are similar at 101db sensitivity and 23kg. I've never really followed the fashionable way when it comes to gear, so my quilter and laney partnership is rocking and rolling for less than a grand. And fits into the boot of any car with room for a whole host of other equipment too! Just need to sort a cover now.

I can strongly recommend checking out the Laney N410. I've just bought one. They're the same weight as a barefaced 410 at 23kg, but much more solid and sturdy feeling. Switchable on/half/off horn. Brilliant sound to boot. Same sensitivity as the barefaced at 101db. And less than half price. I'm gonna gig mine this weekend.
