[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1454684983' post='2972052'] Use Facebook, post something on their page. That's what I resorted to with DV247. [/quote] Indeed, Facebook,Instagram,Twitter hit them all, they are great for companies to create communities & they like to protect those communities. I'd be surprised if you don't get it resolved to your satisfaction through the use of social media.

Sooo good! Thanks Bubinga5!

this is good value.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUP7838vrSg

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1429955100' post='2756621'] Any word on a UK distributor for these bad boys? [/quote] I doubt there will be one..as who will match Thomanns pricing?

On the Talkbass site, Tech 21 have said they hope it will be available by mid June

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1429611485' post='2753082'] Pretty much what i might be doing after our NYE gig, although ill put my rig in to storage rather than sell it. My son has shown an interest so even if i dont use it again he might. [/quote] Well in case you need a new home for your Darkglass VMT..I'd treat it really well!

[quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1429533121' post='2752295'] I've played exactly the same pairing a few times recently, and I'm really impressed, albeit that I don't have a huge amount of experience to draw from for comparisons. I struggled with the eq for a while as it seemed to be very bass heavy, but ultimately stumbled on the same settings that I later read in a thread on Talk Bass are supposed to represent a true "flat" eq on the GK - 10:00, 13:00, 14:00 and 10:00 going from Bass to Treble. I'm really happy with the tone I got from my precision, although I struggled a bit with my Jazz, which I found was a bit boomy around the low A up to the next E, particularly when played on the E string. Having said that, I only tried the Jazz for a short time, and it was on a wooden stage which I don't think was helping. I was quite shocked at the amount of vibration coming through the floor from the low notes. My 102P cab also weighs just under 13Kg according to my scales, which is great for a one-trip-from-the-car situation. [/quote] Yeah I came across that EQ thread also & it's a good jump off point..I'm finding it to be a very clean amp so am toying with getting a Darkglass Vintage Microtudes pedal for some gritty warmth. I jogged up the stairs with the cab to weigh it got back down stairs & realised what I had just done! Crazy low weight!

I have just paired up the GK MB200 with a Markbass 102P cab...not had a huge amount of playing time but wow the sound from such a light weight combination is awesome! I jumped on the scales with the cab & it came up as 12.8 KG! Here are some photos... https://www.flickr.com/photos/daddalziel/sets/72157651643403198/

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1429100267' post='2747968'] See the difference in the two hands? It's even more prominent after a practice, like a bicep after curls. [/quote] My hands are the same

Here's a little clip of Marcus playing the v7 live.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLCebjPW0cI&feature=share

[quote name='Bass Pedal Geek' timestamp='1428183269' post='2738980'] Would like to try one of these basses, but would not put up my hopes too high. Not that I think they're crap or anything, but I'd rather leave room for being pleasantly surprised than the other way around, tbh... :-) [/quote] I couldn't ignore the overwhelming number of positive reviews, & ordering from Thomann it's a no risk situation.. VERY happy with mine

[quote] Should have specified in the OP that it was more about the electricity used and keeping you and your fellow bandmates safe if somewhere has potentially dangerous/unclean electricity. Maybe it's something slightly paranoid, but I've heard stories about people getting electrocuted onstage and I want to try and prevent that from happening. [/quote] Yeah I've watched Almost Famous too

I was sick before my first gig & hit the wrong button to come out of my silent tuner so my first note sounded like a massive fart..i can laugh about it now tho We would do 'dress rehearsals' without stops, so regardless of issues you just keep playing..I think that really helps to put you in a gig frame of mind.

That duvet cover really brings the colour out! Great review & pics!

I have played some gigs in London where the band(us) would be given(sold) 50 tickets to sell(give) to our following. So far so good(iffy). We would then try to get people to come & see us, we would then hear apologies from friends,family etc because getting to London from Cornwall to see a band play 25 mins on a Tuesday night at 8pm is too much to ask. So we would get the time off work to travel,..thus being out of pocket for the 50 tickets,fuel,food & bev & wages to play to a handful of other band members/fans who hadn't remembered to leave the room until their band was on. Thoroughly disappointing & jading experiences that were in part the reason I left that band as the other members seemed happy to keep on keeping on.

So true about them being game changers at the price point/level they have come in at...Mine too are nickels btw
