Sorry for the cross posting but my GB Rumour 4 is for sale here : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29845"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29845[/url] Thanks Steve

Thanks for the replies. I've heard good things about Markbass, any recommendations ? Cheers Steve

Nice playing there Nick, I think you had some bad lighting though from above !

I have one of the older style TE combo's at home & was wondering on replacing it (still leaning towards TE) with something that had multiple smaller speakers, like a 4X8 or something, would this give me a better sound in a home enviroment than just 1x15 ? I would also consider going for a smaller combo (would still like a 12 band eq) as I don't use all of the 200w. Cheers Steve

Cheers! Nick[/quote] Looks like you had a good time at the NEC, shame I couldn't make it. Marcus, I wish I had your patience & didn't have a credit card, saving up is the best way though. Thanks Nick ! I must say I like being in err..possession I think the MK II has a great definitive sound. Steve

Anyone used these ? They look pretty good value for money. Steve [url="http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/Ultra_Soft_Guitar_Strap_Mahogany,_Softest_Leather_Ever-pr-4959-c-737.html"]http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/Ultra_So...4959-c-737.html[/url]

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='321381' date='Nov 3 2008, 10:04 PM']Hi Steve, excellent looking KingBass you have there - One of the earlier ones with the three smaller black controls for the preamp. Is the top wood rosewood or cocobolo? Hey Nick, sell whatever you're not playing! Sounds like you've got to have one! I think the figured claro walnut one we played is the one to have I put my KB on sale for a day and then decided I couldn't part with it! Had a bite too, serious offer from the US! Rich.[/quote] Thanks Rich, the top is rosewood although I wouldn't mind a cocobolo one ! This is one bass I could never part with either & I understand you withdrawing your beauty from sale. Steve

[quote name='doctor_of_the_bass' post='321230' date='Nov 3 2008, 07:28 PM']Thats a really sweet bass Steve - it plays very nicely too! I'm in a dilemma right now - I'm really in love with the MK-II - what am I to sell to fund one?!?!! Nick[/quote] Why thank you Nick ! I'm looking at the MK-II also, they sounded brill at the recent shows, I'm sure you could find something to sell !? Steve

Not a Series I but a Series II...

Here's my Kingbass Artist....
