Still no signs of my strings, will christmas be ruined because my Bass VI is still a baritone guitar?

Ok still available because apparently free still doesn't shift it

OOOOOO I've waited over 3 days for my 2 sets of strings, they must be slipping. That or it's Christmas

[u][i]Show us the Terror!!!!![/i][/u][/quote] I'd wait and see if Santa brings you £100 I don't think there is a better cab than the 4x10 well period but certainly not till you get to like Berg and Aguilar DB money

Yeah it's 539 but give Jeff a call if it's close to what you can afford he might be able to discount it to help you out.

The other side of it is I've reviewed stuff and put it on HC but I only spend my time reviewing things I like, if I don't like something it gets sold asap

I use HCFX to feel better about the gear I've bought, everything is so positive

Written by kids reviewing their dad's jazz box guitars saying that they are crap for metal...[/quote] Don't talk rubbish, I'm really glad HC steered me away from Hofner and towards Ibanez because I had no idea Hofner wasn't a good idea for my Dream Theater tribute act

[quote name='phatbass787' post='687076' date='Dec 17 2009, 10:12 AM']Which Orange are you comparing against? The AD200 is less than half the power and best price I could see online was £1300...[/quote] True not a direct comparision but neither is the Ampeg as that's only meant to be 300w. I'm just thinking if we go off the old 3db rule then I doubt there is much you can do with 8 KT88's that you can't do with 4 but I'd like to be proven wrong. I had a Trace V6 and the GT200 was louder than it. But will be interesting to see when these are actually out. I suspect very few shops will be carrying 2k all tube bass amps for us to try.

[quote name='phatbass787' post='687021' date='Dec 17 2009, 09:06 AM']I dont think thats too bad actually for what it is especially when you compare to vietnamise/chinese Ampegs and the likes...[/quote] Expensive when compared to Orange and Matamp though, about the same as the "RRP" on the 400+ though you know when you could still buy them.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='686863' date='Dec 16 2009, 11:06 PM']You bought a Loud cab?[/quote] I bought several, guy says they will be ready before Christmas but his shed roof has had a leak so he hasn't finished them yet

[quote name='sk8' post='686759' date='Dec 16 2009, 08:35 PM']Don't see why its a shame its just a fact. I've tried the Compact and i am happy to pay the extra £150 for my Bergantino. A much better cab IMO[/quote] See I tried the Compact and was happy to save £100 and still get a much better cab Don't interpret this as I bought a compact because it's better than a berg, I bought something cheaper than the compact that is better than the compact and I'll venture the Berg

I just ordered 2 sets of 6 string bass strings you know the older e to e sets I rang them up and they told me which they had in stock and recommended which models of the strings would suit the bass I'm getting Also great that you can buy with paypal allowing you to get rid of those pesky pennies people send you when buying stuff off here

[quote name='basshead56' post='686140' date='Dec 16 2009, 10:50 AM']1) Dean stylist[/quote] Very cool bass especially if you get the cabbie one, obviously not for everyone but if your going to get a hollowbody it should be a bit pimp

I have a Darkstar'd Dearmond Starfire and it is one of my favourite basses, however I have had 3 Starfires and they are all slightly different, I kept the one with the best feel and playability and sold a better acoustic sounding one. But either way good basses, I have always fancied a Jack Casady though. Some people on the forum have let some cheap 60's and 70's lesser known brand hollowbodies go for under £200. Sometimes the best hollowbodies are the cheaper not so well built ones, it depends if you want that cardboardy thud or if you want it to sound like a normal bass

I'd like to find a double shortscale bass bag or a long double guitar bag as my starfire doesn't fit in my incase dubag and I have like 4 shortscales now

No it's a resistor grid so limits the signal going to the preamp or from the preamp
