Have you made a decision yet?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1481493570' post='3192735'] My local venue used to be The Torrington in Finchley. Fairly decent PA there and most bands used the house sound guy. Piss him off or treat him badly and he'd make you sound absolute sh*t. I saw a guitarist give him stick in a very uncompromising and public way once because he was struggling with his monitor volume. Sound guy sorted him in the monitors, then pulled him out of the front of house mix completely. . . [/quote] Sound guy in this circumstance should be sacked. Yes, the guitarist was a dick but it's the audience that gets punished and the venue loses out overall.

Hi Simon Many thanks for another fantastic Basschat deal. Awesome condition bass purchased and Simon gave me the try before you buy opportunity too :-) Simon comes highly recommended as a top bloke and another great example of why there's no better place to do a deal. All the best Sean

They are strung with Yamaha strings. Very difficult to find in the UK. They are nickel and will be 45-105 roundwounds so any decent make with that spec will be OK. Rotosound are UK-made and good quality strings. Stringsdirect.com do a good quality budget set made by Rotosound called Legacy and I use these all on my non-gigging basses and they are absolutely fine. I use coated Elixirs on the gigging basses as they require less attention if you get corrosive sweat all over them regularly.

Very happy indeed :-) [/quote] I must add a follow up piece of feedback for Pete to say that his help and support getting info and a proof of purchase to me for a warranty claim on an amp I bought from him was absolutely outstanding and very much appreciated. The amp's fan failed last Friday night while gigging and due to Pete's lightning response and excellent advice said amp was swiftly returned to the manufacturer's service centre, is now repaired under warranty and back with me today.

I've ordered a custom built 6x10 to match and sit under my MJW Taranis. New cab isn't from MJW (or Matamp) but I like to keep things Brit if possible. Just wait and see...

I got a WM clone made for me by this chap http://www.madebymike.co.uk/index.shtml Very good it is too. £60 I think.

I have an MXR Bass Chorus, it sounds just right to me ad also has flanger functions.

Chad rocks.

Yesterday I recorded a guitar amp/cab with two mics, an SM57 and also a large diaphragm condenser, the SC400 T-bone from Thomann. http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_sc400_grossmembranmikro.htm The SC400 is what made the final cut; it's warmer, picks up more low end and has a more organic sound.

The Tokai in the FS sale is probably a better instrument at ⅓ of that "discounted" price. I know which one I'd have.
