I'm going today - how do I recognise fellow basschatters? Is there a secret handshake - no, wait that would only work if we introduced our selves. Is there a funny walk (no doubt induced by carrying heavy rigs around) Hope to meet some of you. Oh, and I'm looking for a cab to sit under my ebs neo210 to lift the bottom end (sound-wise, not height-wise ) - any suggestions? Any deals at the show? Cheers Martin

The TVX 4X10 would be a good cab or the PRO 4X10 both @ 4ohm you could crank that amp without fear then! You could always add another 4ohm cab afterwards too to use the full 450w from the amp.[/quote] and I want to sell my Peavey TVX410, it's a 4 ohm cab, and works well with the max450 (that's what I use it with). Open to reasonable offers. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7293"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=7293[/url]

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='77497' date='Oct 21 2007, 09:54 PM']+1 for the Tribal Planet products - excellent quality![/quote] But I can't find anyone who sells them in the UK. I've emailed the UK distributor, but no response yet. The guy on ebay won't be having any more.

[quote name='gafbass02' post='77912' date='Oct 22 2007, 10:33 PM']Found aroundabout sound today after living in Cheltenham for seven weeks, great place even managed to finally play a KSD, which i loved but sadly cant afford![/quote] yup - they're definitely the best shop around this area, and all the guys in there can play too (maybe that's why it's the best shop?) Best for drums is probably cheltenham soundhouse, just up the road. Martin (the owner) is pretty handy on the kit. I'll probably be corrected on that one by any drummers reading this, although there probably won't be any so I'm safe!

getting back to the sort of bags etc that I really meant, ebay man davesaccessories has replied to me email - he won't be getting any more GX40's in.

[quote name='MB1' post='77086' date='Oct 20 2007, 06:46 PM']MB1. Martin, wrong sort of bags,wrong sort of dealers mate........There was a joke there originally honest! [/quote] ok, I totally didn't pick up on that

so has anyone researched the cheapest place to buy an mpbt1 from?

[quote name='MB1' post='76981' date='Oct 20 2007, 02:24 PM']MB1. Sorry!....Thought you were after the names of dealers in Gloucester?? [/quote] no worries - I think I've visited all the dealers around gloucester during the last 3 years, aroundabout sound is definitely the best for bass. I popped in today, but they don't have any decent gig bags in stock, only entry level (which I already have). I'll keep watching davesaccessories on ebay. Thanks for all your replies. Cheers Martin

[url="http://www.finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=1295&highlight=gigbag"]http://www.finnbass.com/showthread.php?t=1...ighlight=gigbag[/url] This is the feller on ebay and it would be worth keeping an eye on what is coming up as they seem to sell them from time to time for good prices - if you can be patient.

[quote name='Sugden' post='76816' date='Oct 20 2007, 12:32 AM']Dont buy this one!! Its the guitar version and also only the gx15 now I think thats the lighter model but Im also sure the price isnt that different from the GX40 so it depends what level of protection you want. But you want the (if you want the strong one) GX40B Strangely the B stands for bass...[/quote] yup, already worked out I want a GX40B - I found the Tribal website, but no links to uk dealers. Music Essentials seem to be the uk distributor, but they don't have any links to retailers. I've sent an amail to davesmusicaccessories via ebay, so I'll see what that brings. cheers Martin

[quote]Aroundabout Sound is the best shop going, they don't stock lakland but im sure you could get they man in there to get you one[/quote] I often visit Mark at aroundabout sound - but it's a case I'm after, already have a Lakland I agree they're the best shop locally, but not much range of cases (like most shops it appears) cheers Martin

[quote name='Sugden' post='76712' date='Oct 19 2007, 08:10 PM']I agree with bassBod. I've never been to a shop with an actual good aray of gig bags especialy for bass. Plus near gloucester no chance nearest I would say is PMT in birmingham or soundcontrol birmingham. But then again dont remember there been a large range at either. Onlines the way forwards. Id go with a tribal planet GX40.[/quote] Thanks for all the replies. I like the look of the tribal planet gx40, but so far I haven't been able to find an on-line dealer selling them - ebay doesn't show any at the moment. Any idea who might be selling them on-line? Cheers Martin

Hi Folks, I've been promised a new gig bag for my Lakland for my birthday, but the local shops don't have much choice. Can anyone recommend a shop in a 40 mile radius of gloucester which stocks a decent range of gig bags (and preferably doesn't charge the earth). I been trawling the net for a couple of hours, but haven't really come up with any shops, and I want to 'try before I buy' so don't really want to buy on-line. Also, any thoughts on which gig bags to look at? Ritter, Gator etc? Cheers Martin
