Well the MK3 will be fine, though going to a Traveller 2x10 size cab from a 4x10 will be noticeable. Try looking at the larger MarkBass 2x10 cabinet, one of each is a powerhouse and will cover all gigs.

Try Victor C Knight, up in north London somewhere, I've been with them for car and music insurance for years. The man to speak to, Patrick, will be able to explain better about the ins and outs of insuring music instruments.

[size=5]Has anyone got a Babitz 4 string 'fender' replacement type bridge on their bass or still in the box that [/size][size=5]they would measure up the 'footprint' / area that makes contact with the bass body. [/size] [size=5]The only measurement on their site seems to show the front to back edge including that back edge overhang.[/size] [size=5]I want to change a bridge that has been recessed into the bass body hence the sizing issue.[/size] [size=5]cheers...

[quote name='mfisher91' timestamp='1429457920' post='2751544'] Hi all, I'm searching for a Markbass gig bag. Does anyone know of any where that sells them fairly cheaply? I've just purchased a markbass little mark 250 and need to get a gig bag as I'm out gigging next weekend, however I can't afford to spend too much on one. I've seen the Markbass ones for £70, but can't find any cheaper. Don't mind if it's not a markbass one as long as I know it fits perfectly! [/quote] Have a look at Thomann then..they appear to be just under £42 for the Little Mark gig bag (plus post I guess) at the moment. I've found it good to use and well made and front and back unzip to fold underneath and the back flap cover kind of 'velcro's' itself to Markbass cabs cloth covering so it doesn't slide off for any reason.

[quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1426625999' post='2720124'] Tried out a bass recently in a shop & ran through a 102hf cab. I've never been a fan of Markbass cabs but I really liked the sound of this one. Maybe the proper HF horn helped a lot as my past experience has been with the lighter, rear ported, piezo equipped cabs. So, anyone using these & care to comment ? [/quote] Terrific cabs....stack two and it will likely be all you'll need.....or with the smaller 2x10

Thanks people, all in all it appears (even from EBay themselves) that there are problems within their system and whether it is a USA based idea or not, it ain't working too good for the seller/ buyer. I've even had a completely different 'buyer' or scammer asking about buying it now, but I haven't a clue where the item has ended up and EBay said ignore that person. Whether EBay will trace this late mystery offer is another thing, who cares now, at least my money was made safe ' using EBay Global and Paypal', oh goody.

Beware....EBay recently altered my buyers address to their own UK Global Shipping warehouse, leaving me and buyer unaware. Item appears lost now. Buyer it turned out was actually resident in Belgium but all I saw on PayPal invoice was a UK address. PayPal refunds okay. Not even EBay phone operators knew the address was their own! Global shipping apparently started in Nov 2014 and has ' some minor problems'! I would have thought altering addresses without informing seller/ buyers was bad enough. I've 'strongly advised' EBay to put 'EBay Global Shipping' at the top of their address, not just Unit 1 such n such industrial estate , Derbyshire. I'd honestly thought it was buyers work address. PayPal have blamed Global Shipping but it took a lot of calles and emails to get sorted. Bah foohey.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1425038069' post='2703217'] I think it's probably used to a very subtle extent by most, and probably only really noticed onstage by the player. Remember the recent thread about the sound of bass at gigs from the audience's perspective? Not exactly the best aural experience. A player could use a Jazz bass or a Stingray and the final result, from the audience's perspective, is not going to be hugely different... but it is a BIG difference for the player... When I play, if I like what I hear it encourages me and makes me enjoy it more, and in turn I play just a little better... The compressor on my pedalboard probably has the same effect. Like I said, I play about 50% with an EBS multicomp, 50% without it... It's not that big of an effect at the end of the day! (It shouldn't really be, right? we're talking icing on the cake, really) [/quote] I've used it mostly to cut through for a solo here and there, help it cut through the band volume.

Thanks everyone, a mix of interesting opinions.

I have an EBS Multicomp pedal that is good but my ears feel it alters the bass sound. Anyone had one of these and changed to something they feel is more 'true'...?

MSL Pro UK are Markbass agents .... try http://www.mslpro.co.uk

They might be Gibson strings

[quote name='rainbowreality' timestamp='1420834368' post='2654132'] Hi there everyone, I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones for monitoring music production, monitoring recording and the like. My budget isn't massive so something fairly cheap and cheerful but but will give a clean unbiased sound reproduction if possible. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! [/quote] I use Sennheiser HD 600 but they cost a bit over £250 (off Ebay) new but have since been superseded. I got these as a friend mixed his album using them and I thought the end result was very good. Cheap n cheerful headphones abound but won't always give a decent real true listening experience.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1419886952' post='2643690'] 'Wanted' posts are immediately locked, so no bumping is possible. That is all. [/quote] Thanks Japanaxe, I thought it might be something like that...

I just tried 'bumping' my own post (looking for an Fender Aerodyne medium scale bass) but am told that I cannot reply to the post....how else can I 'bump' it or is it not possible for wanted posts......
