I ordered my 2x12 from Thomann, it was about £800 and I didn't get stung for any nasty charges. It weighed about 30kg all packaged up. In fact, shipping was cheaper than many of the big retailers in the UK!

Do you really need an 8 or two 4x10?! You're probably better off buying one better quality 4x10 or a 2x12. For the money you have you could get an awesome cab and class D head. Which series TC cab did you not like?

I would say try see as many bands as you can if they also play the local circuit. Then send out a few emails or try chat to them about what you want. If someone approached me with specifics like you have listed I would be honest and say sorry, we can't do that, but could make a few recommendations for bands that could. With regards to price, weddings are a premium. I think my functions band is pretty cheap and we would charge at least £700.

[quote name='davehux' timestamp='1409226004' post='2537684'] I had a Spyder 330 for a short time, after selling my LB30 (for the same reason as you). Very underwhelming amp with IMHO not much valve warmth to it. Had an Orange TB500 - fantastic rock/metal amp. Bit of a one-trick pony, but great if you like that trick. Now have a Markbass TTE500 - smooth, valvey, manageable grit when you want it, and whack the gain right up. Tons of volume. Overall the best amp I've owned [/quote] I love the TTE500. Really great amp! I want one.

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1409357698' post='2539069'] Sorry, bad humour on my part. The OP had already bought two hydrive 112's which sort of went unnoticed. [/quote] I know ;-)

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1409335128' post='2538811'] Has the OP considered a pair of identical 112s? [/quote] Perhaps he should, it would be a wise and informed choice.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1409301471' post='2538395'] You can't do that! That's not in the BC spirit at all.... You have to chose a brand of bass (preferably one you've never played) and declare at every opportunity that it's so much better than everything else if you don't own one you might as well give up playing... [/quote] Bahaha

I never really understood my 2EQ, and couldn't find a definite answer as to whether the EQ was boost or cut or boost and cut. I used the bass about half way on and a tiny touch of treble. It was a great sounding bass though.

I've not played one, so can't comment there. But, they must be some of the best looking cabs avaliable!

I'm looking for a little amp to take to rehearsals and am interested in these. Not sure if I want all those bells and whistles but it does look interesting.

Good find. That looks great. Do you know what the pickups in it Is?

Nah, probably best to move on, especially if he is cooperating! Ebay can be a nightmare with disputes. At least you got your hard earned back!

Got to ask, why did you buy it in the first place? For a project or something?

Wow. That neck is flamey!

Nuts to that. Glad we have never came across this bull.

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1408890977' post='2534347'] There's LOADS of Rock music everywhere. Too much of the stuff. Honestly.....I spent 90% of my time running away from it. [/quote] Same here!!

Jerks will be jerks. Age is irellevant. Rude people are rude! Without wanting to go off topic... Was the Micromark an 801, and did it hold it's own?!

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1408625306' post='2531927'] They are extremely well built basses (better than a lot of Fenders) [/quote] Which Fenders?

With regards to build quality, surely, not many of us are in a proper position to comment anyway. I mean, i have owned a few basses, but never a good deal of any one model - therefore, my opinions are formed from my own very limited experience. To state all USA Precision (just an example) are of a lower quality than Musicman or Rick or any make, you probably should have owned a decent amount of each. Given that manaufactures make thousands and all the variables involved. It is unfair to say X is worse than Y because i have played 6 of X and one had rough frets, bad paint, badly alligned neck, or whatever. Especially as many shops don't set guitars up and that they have travelled half way across the globe to be in a local shop. Plus, we form brand allegiances and our opinions become exagerated and sometimes blinkered.
