How stunning is this? All I can offer is a trade for my MTD KZ5. -
Bit of interest bump. Couple of options on the table. Try me for trades. Can only say no. Or yes!

I will reply to your PM. Apologies, I didn't see it earlier.

Price drop bump. There's an Arcangeli fretless on here that must have!
-
Final bump before I engage Christmas mode.

A friend at college when I was 16 played a bit. Saw him playing once and thought 'he looks cool. I want to do that.' Then I heard Victor Bailey on 'Procession' and that was that.

Not sure if this is the right section to post this in but here goes. I imagine a lot of us view the site on iPhones and iPads and have it bookmarked as an icon. A web clip icon would be great. Here's how to do it: http://m.dummies.com/how-to/content/create-a-web-clip-icon-for-iphones.html Obviously, only the site administrators can do this.

Thanks for all the replies and information, very helpful. Getting into the valve thing now. I'd like a valve that provides a natural sounding slight overdrive (perhaps by design), especially when playing with a bridge pickup bias. FYI I'm playing an MTD KZ5. The cab I'll be using is a Hartke 410 Transporter.
-
Thank you for this info. I've heard from the seller and it was made in Korea. Sovtek valves any good?
-
Just purchased on eBay a Hartke HA3500 for £200. Is anyone able to tell from the picture I've posted whether this amp is a Chinese or US made model, if indeed they ever were made in the US of course. It doesn't really make any odds to me, just interested to know. I did ask the seller, but he'd boxed and shipped it before he could check. Also, how long are the valves supposed to last on these amps, as a ballpark rule, and if the valve should fail, will the SS pre amp still function without a working valve? Thank you in advance you clever people.

Hello, Yes, I have changed the battery. A lovely Duracell no less! I think I've made the decision to sell the MB150 (any offers? ) and fund a decent head. I doubt I'll have enough funds left over for a cab, but I can borrow a friends 15" Trace until I can afford my own.

Hi Fretmeister, As you can tell, I'm no expert on things like this. It could well be just a coincidence that the first time I used the active bass, we played a gig in a larger venue than we have done before. As a result, I had to turn up, and I don't think the single 12" speaker could handle it, especially with the low B. Or it could be that years of gigging on what was already purchased second-hand for £60 has just worn it out. Either way, it's an excuse for GAS.

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some advice from the clever people here. I have been playing in a 20-piece big band for 15 years, using a variety of basses and amps over the years. I am currently using a GK MB150S combo, which has been my only amp for about 7 years, and an MTD KZ5. Up until now, the GK combo has been, surprisingly given the size of the band, extremely capable at both rehearsals and gigs. However, with my new active bass, the amp appears to be struggling, so I can see a couple of options available: 1. Get an MB112X extension cab. Would this be enough? 2. Get a new setup entirely, preferable seperates. Ideas for this, and this is very much driven by a limited budget, are: Ashdown MAG 200 head (300 if good price) or similar power/price range, and a GK Backline 410BLX cab or similar power/price range. Thoughts?

Howard's Bass Place, Newcastle... no more.

Does anyone have an email address for Howard? -
Just a bit of fun for a Friday. Last night, some nut dinged the Fender on my car, a pickup. I let out a deep Sei, but didn't fret too much. I had to walk back home. I had to cross Overwater but luckily there was a bridge. After a Sterling effort by the police, they found the guy, and he's up in Cort on Monday.

Purchased the MTD KZ5 from John. Fine chap, great transaction. Bass is en route from Scotland, currently in Bristol. Can't wait! Edit: Bass has just arrived. Mint condition, superbly set up, well packed. Very smooth and shiny instrument. Here's me with the bass and, for some reason, a peculiar facial expression. [attachment=101485:IMG_0193.jpg]

Sold my Jazz V to Kevin. Seamless international transaction.
