[quote]I find being the gig organiser for the bands works well[/quote] +1 I play with 4 bands, and manage 2 of them, and it makes it much simpler!

I think my mind is made up! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89918"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=89918[/url]

Yeah, I have seen the iGig cases, they look good, but i'd prefer something a bit less bulky and more tight-fitting I think!

Hmm, If I couldnt fit the cables in with the F500 in the front could I put them in the pocket for the straps on the back, or would they fall out? It would only need to be for one instrument, speaker and power cable, anything more and i'd take the F500 in a laptop case anyway, so I can fit plenty of other stuff in...

I think I've found the answer to my own question! [quote]You're not getting anything else in that pocket other than a thin cable with an F1 in there. The iGig is much better for a ton of storage. The Mono would work if you're going completely minimal- as in basses, micro amp, and one instrument and speaker cable, and nothing else.[/quote] Hmm, this could be close!

Hmm, do think It would be thick enough to fit the F500 with a power lead, a (thick) speakon lead and a jack to jack lead in it as well? The F500 is 1.73 in. / 4.4 cm (1U)

Ive been thinking about a Mono gigbag, and it looks great, but I want something i can fit my markbass F500 in, and I cant find the pocket dimensions anywhere! Does anyone know them?

[quote]i dont live on my own and we are semi detached it cant exactly have it loud[/quote] I dont think he's blasting it!

[quote name='4 Strings' post='822802' date='Apr 29 2010, 10:36 AM']the buckles offered are metal (different colour finishes) but I didn't want any buckles knocking about in my guitar case so he offered other adjustment types (the slots etc) which didn't require metalware and/or a selection of button hole positions. I ended up having no adjustment at all as I knew the length I use and its not likely to change. Its wide enough for me not to require any padding, but I suppose that's personal preference. (I also had little in the way of edge decoration - just a single line, simple sort me)[/quote] From earlier....

[quote name='chris_b' post='843907' date='May 21 2010, 10:34 AM']All watts are the same but due to the much discussed harmonics you get from valves, a valve amp "sounds" louder than an equal SS amp. Which, I think, is the point PJ is making in the video.[/quote] Thats what I meant! I just couldnt explain it quite as well as you!

[quote name='chris_b' post='843841' date='May 21 2010, 09:16 AM']I thought he said TUBE power![/quote] He did, I think he's just saying it is about as loud as 2000 watt solid state amp would be, but your right, it is a bit misleading!

[quote name='countjodius' post='838778' date='May 16 2010, 12:23 PM']I'd highly recommend Mono cases. I've been using one since last summer and it barely has a scratch on it despite using it daily & throwing it on all manners of public transport! It's light too which is important as my bass is as heavy as they come, plus can't argue with a 3 yr warranty![/quote] I like the look of these, but I cant find the dimension of the front pocket anywhere.

bargain!

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='842900' date='May 20 2010, 10:40 AM']I agree that thomann has stupidly good customer service. Another shop that i would say has a great customer service is BANZAI music. They accidentaly forgot to send me a resistor and i ended up being able to have one sent, plus they sent me an allen key to adjust the knob i ordered that was the right size. As for smaller music shops. There is a local guitar shop in my town that's good if you need something today and the staff are very friendly. But i agree that it's always too expensive to shop in places like that. Like for example once i accidentaly cut a bass string too short and was charged £7 for ONE string! Not coated or anything like that, just a standard rotosound bass string. It's a real shame that the smaller shop these days is being killed by big buisiness but at the end of the day people are always going to buy what's cheaper. The thing about local music shops though, is that you can barter on price, plus you can get some good deals for used stuff so i'm not saying it's always the big shops that win out in my case.[/quote] +1, its sad, but small shops need to focus on used items, dispensable stuff that people might need fast (strings, spare parts etc.) and setups/repairs so that they can provide things that the online giants cant.

just grab a really cheap (£20) mixer, and run the pc as one input, and the bass as another, then use the headphone out on the mixer... Simplest and cheapest way I reckon!

[quote name='Musicman20' post='839293' date='May 16 2010, 09:36 PM']Good choice on F1 and cab![/quote] Thanks! Same to you, i'd love a db212 if i wasnt down sizing!

Yeah, I'll do a review when they arrive! It might not be for a bit though, because Darren is still waiting for them to come in at the bass merchant..

Both

[quote]I was reading recently that a Markbass F1 head into a GS112 is the business[/quote] Oo good, I'm waiting for mine to be delivered as we speak!

You can get a great jazz sound through a bass amp!

Does anyone know of any cheap heavy duty stands? I have hundreds of normal ones, but would like something for hardcore! I've seen [url="http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=1200"]this[/url], Any advance on £15?
