We could book in a luthier who could spend time appraising set ups etc on our basses? I guess that would be on a fee basis. Just thinking aloud.

Obv, someone with with a decent set of Guts on a bass needs to turn up. I am looking at you.

There were mutterings about one of these some time ago. I would invite everyone up to my corner of the world, but it is pretty far away from everywhere. Given a central location, who would turn up? Obv I have no idea how this would work. List names below 1. Owen

LeBlond will make cases to size. They last forever.

Exciting times!

I used to have a GK MB Fusion (same power stage as the MB500) and an Aguilar TH500. I was driving a notoriously power hungry cab and the GK kept going after the TH hit the buffers.

You are right about the angle. I bought one of these http://www.thomann.de/gb/km_18953.htm?sid=82911a7075df8f5407c7c4b3b03daf4c by accident a few years ago (don't ask) and it supports my 80lbs cab fine and dandy smack into the back of my head.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1401142123' post='2460601'] Do you still have your Avalon U5 Owen? I don't suppose you know the output voltage? [/quote] I'm afraid that the U5 went in the great preamp cull of 2013 It was a lovely piece of kit, but I have no idea what it put out. Sorry. Their website says [b]Maximum Output Level (Class A):[/b] +30dBu DC coupled, balanced 600 ohms (mic and line out) but I am blissfully unaware of what that means

One of the great pleasures in life is a proper power stage. Endless headroom and instant transient delivery is totally where it is at. I used to run 3Kw bridged into an Eden 410XLT. Every note was a joy.

>Reggie Hamilton Custom shop V I hope it is not sonic blue! Yikes! Super tasty!

I have a set of machine heads you can have for nowt.

I am struggling to get an 8 pre to work with the version of OSX before Maverics. I don't know if there has been a very recent driver update, but it is unusable at the moment.

TBL! Those were the days!

Is there a bass specific one that I have missed?

I also want to see the paint job! But if you cannot wait, here are some he prepared earlier....... https://www.facebook.com/Retro169/photos_stream

Astoundingly it is actually landing with the painter this week so I should have all the bits within 3 weeks-ish and then the magic might happen. Thanks for caring

Saw them in Manchester last night. Sublime ensemble playing.
