I just saw this on the IK Multimedia website. [url="http://www.ikmultimedia.com/iklipmini/features/"]iPhone holder[/url] Although its obviously designed for using music apps live my first thought was that this will be great for videoing the audience from the centre front of the stage. I might pick one up and give it a try.

MarkBass Amp bag for the larger heads like the SA450/SD1200 etc. Great idea in theory as you dont have to take the head out to use it, but with large vent holes in the sides it makes it pretty dangerous if its raining as there is nothing stopping it from going straight in to the amp.

Cheers Gareth. To be honestI'mm not really looking for another head,I'mm selling the STL600 as i prefer the F1 and quite happy to just have the F1. The F500 would be nicer though. If i got a F500 i would then sell the F1. Saying that, who knows what will happen in a month or so. The Shuttle does look nice but i too like the whole Markbass Design.

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1296481' date='Jul 7 2011, 09:23 PM']Markbass was another option for me but the GB just seemed more suited to what i was looking for with the tube pre-amp. I'm pretty pleased with mine i have to say. Good luck with your search for a new amp and I'll keep an eye on your progress to see what you go for - I'm curious now. Cheers Dave[/quote] Cheers. I already have a F1 so thats going to be my main head unless i can get a F500. No other head interests me.

Its a Jizz bass

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1294803' date='Jul 6 2011, 03:06 PM']Hi Dave Yep went from MAG to GB same time as yourself in fact we were following the same thread for a while on the loose mains connector. Love the GB amp. Can't fault it at all apart from the 20 second warm up which bugs me as i keep forgetting about it and all of a sudden it bursts into life just as I've cranked my bass vol up to see why no sound. Cheers Dave [/quote] Ah yes, Gareth's STL900 thread. Glad he got that sorted. Im selling my STL600 now, i just cant get on with it, back to MarkBass for me. Rusco. Good luck with the tape measure. Hopefully it will fit. These amps have gainded a few new features since they were released and offer even better value for money now.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1295750' date='Jul 7 2011, 10:49 AM']+1 for buying a replacement. Sell the busted one as parts to help pay for your new one.... and be careful next time. [/quote] Or keep the busted one for parts in case it happens again :-) If that's a Wilkinson bridge they arent expensive to replace but it look more like a Hipshot, not cheap. I would have expected it be a bit more durable. Maybe it might be cheaper to buy a Wilkinson and use the bits needed, if they fit.

Yep, with a rosewood neck i think blocks work well but i think a maple fretboard should have dots. This was one of the big reasons i never wanted a Squier VM Jazz, even though i love blocks. For what its worth i also didnt like the binding on the MIM 70's classic Jazz. I felt it looked cheap and nasty. I hope this is different but i doubt it.

[quote name='bh2' post='1295761' date='Jul 7 2011, 10:59 AM']Nice Dave... yours?[/quote] It used to be, in fact ive had two and regret selling them.

[quote name='lojo' post='1294860' date='Jul 6 2011, 03:43 PM']Whilst I think blocks look cool on jazzes , I like the fact that Ps are fairly plain humble basses, blocks don't suit my image of a P[/quote] I think if done right it blocks can look good on any neck :-)

I love blocks and really want a 3TSB/maple P but i hate the look of black blocks on maple. Considering these have vintage frets they are that close to being the perfect P for me. Fender give with one hand and take away with the other :-( Still, if the price is right i might be tempted. At least they put a black PG on it. Other than the blocks this is just like a more expensive Matt Freeman Squier.

Cheers guys. GW. Thanks, i saw that a while ago but its a bit wider than i wanted, plus I dont really like the look of the wide end. EBS. Thanks. I was hoping to get one before this weekend so wasn't really looking to import one. I guess as there dont seem to be any in this country so ill place an order with them now. Ta for the link.

[quote name='lobematt' post='1294965' date='Jul 6 2011, 05:16 PM']Wheres the best place to pick up a set of J Wizards?[/quote] From Wizard themselves, or second hand off here although you might have to wait a bit for a set to come up.

I really want a "Levy's Guitar Strap, M70-WHT, 1 1/2" Leather - White" but cant find one anywhere, even ebay.com only turns up one and thats local shipping. I've found this [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/6585-dsl_garment_leather_2_5_3_layer_white_guitar_strap"]DSL strap[/url] But i also found a review that says they are rubbish. I've not heard of them before. It has to be one that allows me to put a Levys radio transmitter pocket on it, so the straps with the slits are the only type ive looked at. Cheers.

[quote name='dmccombe7' post='1294683' date='Jul 6 2011, 01:12 PM']Never had any trouble with it but it is a heavy and well built little monster. Cheers Dave[/quote] Damn right. Ive replaced the driver in mine last year because the original one stopped working (when it was on loan to another band). Ive been tempted to fit a Neo driver in it but i dont really use it any more. Looks like we both went from MAG to STL600, via a few other heads no doubt :-)

[quote name='Huwberry' post='1292956' date='Jul 5 2011, 12:04 AM']Been quiet for a while on the videos front (read: OBSCENELY busy everywhere else). However, today I thought I'd put a bit of foam under the strings of my Precision and give this tune a go: Bubinga5 requested it AAAAAGES ago, so there you go mate![/quote] What a great tone, that sounds completely different to my P bass lol. Very clean playing, and very inspiring. Cheers for posting that.

Ive still got my MAG300 C-115 (from before they got the EVO tag) and did loads of pretty loud gigs with it, all without PA support. I did find i needed to push it a bit, and this of course led to a bit of a dirty tone but overall it worked well. I found that i preferred the tone of the MAG over the ABM i had and felt that the MAG was (or seemed) louder than the ABM rated the same. I guess the type of music played will make a difference, if its loud rock i doubt it will hold its own against two stacks but you could always ask them to turn down

[quote name='SteveK' post='1293551' date='Jul 5 2011, 04:13 PM']Seems to me, Ryan Larson is to music, what [url="http://www.derekpyephotography.com/index.php"]Derek Pye[/url] is to photography. Check out "Derek's Photos" [/quote] My god, people pay money for those shots? Did anyone see the "Happy bridesmaid" shot. Please tell me that was a set up. I know most weddings have a "larger" bridesmaid but no, this shot was just wrong. EDIT: No, thats a joke website isnt it? Im mean, those shots are just "funnies", not actually taken for weddings. They cant be.
