I saw that!

I must add the retail price is, IMO, way too high.

Now the exchange rate is back to normal....im thinking of importing a Shuttlemax just because they seem really versatile and very cheap over there. Anyone used Bass Central before?

I nearly went for one of these, the 12.0 Has anyone tried them out yet? Apparently the MAX gets rid of the limiter problems and adds more ummmpph in the lower frequencies.

As yet ive not used my LM3 live much....but I always attach my lead through the cab handle where possible. If I cant, I use a longer lead and keep an eye on it....I also put a bit of cut-off carpet between the cab and the amp head. If I put the rough rubbery underside so the amp head sits on that with its rubber feet, it helps. No chance of movement with the Orange....even after the gig. I just cant be arsed to even think about moving it hahahah.

They are incredibly well finished off in my experience, but I could not get on with the tone. I must be more of a passive jazz guy....i need that full on growl and bite. The neck looked fantastic, and im brought up on P bass necks so it was comfy. It isnt like a normal jazz neck I agree. UVintage is the way to go

+1....now ive seen them properly stacked...they look good! My girlfriend wanted me to get green, she loves that colour. As if bass cabs appeal to 22 year old women.

You can find examples at: www.myspace.com/thebottlebrunettes If you like what you hear you can Myspace us or email: [email protected] Cheers, Poncho[/quote] Cheers Poncho, Ive emailed you

Choc Brown and Black are my favourite...but they are ALL nice. Green is a bit weird though.... I wish the Tweed was like the Fender Bassman Tweed

Cheers guys ill read this properly at the weekend busyyyyyyyy night tonight

Ive just realised that ONE tiny 1x12 Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout costs the same as a Matamp custom made head. Thats mental. Great gear dude.

Well guys....here is a lowdown on what happened today. I am disappointed yet again. I do not like picking fault with stores, but this wound me up a lot. I don’t want a fellow bassist spending his hard earned cash and getting ripped off. Short story version is, GuitarGuitar have these advertised on their site for £1085. Cheaper than normal? Yes. A pretty alright price for a retailer to expect a potential buyer to pay considering it’s a shop floor highly expensive boutique amp that’s been sat around a bit? Yes! So, the Newcastle branch say they are in via email. I email and ask if it’s the newer version with one input. They call me, and say they checked, and that they ASSURE me it is the latest model. The amp is based in the Glasgow. So, they put me onto them, telling me its NO MORE than 6 months old. Glasgow store say its new stock, not ex-demo, and definitely a brilliant amp that isn’t just an old shop floor one. Guess what; I ask for photos, it’s the OLD model….with two inputs. It’s dusty as hell, and the corners have all kinds of scrapes on them. Still looks awesome as Mesa’s do, but I am NOT paying that kind of money for something that isn’t the latest model. £1085? No thanks. Ill be wary of them from now on. This is why I hate ‘general’ music store. Ive never had these problems with the Bass Merchant. This is just the same as my problems with PMT in Leeds when they sold me a ‘new’ Jazz bass that was actually a demo, marked to hell, dodgy paint, etc. I took that back as well. I reported them to Fender and Orange, as they tried to sell me a battered OBC115, and said they were not allowed to order a new one in. Guess what, I ask Orange, and they will always supply fresh stock to customers at the same price. The lesson? Don’t trust certain stores without checking the items! The only exception ive found so far is my small local Orange dealer, Bass Merchant, and Bass Direct. So, let this be a warning to you. They did just email to apologise and then said their best price is now £1450! Nope thanks, not after all that! Rant over. Sorry to bring the thread down, but it needed saying. Glad no-one went for this particular combo on a GAS attack.

So...Im still asking about this WA on offer. Its apparently still brand new as its with the guitar stock downstairs and virtually no guitarist knows what it is. I might ask for a few photos. Hmm...more Berg 112 cabs, or the awesome little WA 12? Its the latest model with one input, just bought before the price rise. And, they have the 15 version same ish price, obviously bit higher, BUT thats still much cheaper than the new prices. They say its new, not a demo, just been on shop floor as a lot of stuff is I guess. Same guarantee and all the bits, plus 7 days money back if I dont like it...
