It's now out of my range, It isn't a dig at the manufacturer...it seems to be everywhere. I know a big reason is the £, but this surely will just kill sales.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1478170634' post='3167219'] Bit of a rant maybe but I have to say this. I've been looking for a new little combo to take to my girlfriends and back and jamming with a guitar playing mate. Which I thought would be an easy task. However many of the new relatively little combos i tested while all sounding very good had horrible internal vibrations and I really wasn't playing them loudly. I had to return a new orange crush 50 because it had a horrible vibration/resonance thing going on in the higher notes. I tried an ampeg ba110v2 And the larger 112 version both sounded great but had odd rattling at fairly low volumes, I had the guy pull the grills off just to be sure too. I tried a tc electronics bg250 2x8 and again it sounded great but it rattled badly to a point I felt it must be broken. So I went to another store and tried out a few small ashdown's the triple a and another one I think was a perfect 10 again on certain notes one had a vibration and the other I think the perfect 10 didn't rattle but hissed badly. So I tried a hartke hd50 sounded great bar on the open e it sounded broken I thought the speaker must have an issue. Someone working in the shop agreed that one wasn't right. My girlfriend has a fender rumble 100v3 the back amp plate rattles badly at living room volume levels even though the rest of it seems very well designed. At that point I gave up. Ended up buying an ancient mag 250 combo which doesn't have any issues even at much higher volumes. I've had various combos in the past a hartke a25, carlsbro 90bg, Roland cube, trace elliot and more. And they were very solid no issues but older heavier designs, it seems though many of the little practice amps now are really badly made they just don't feel solid and some of them are not cheap either. Surely you don't need to spend a stupid amount on a combo that can actually handle bass these days without rattling etc. I know people on here will have these combos mentioned and probably had no issues am I just getting lemons or is it somehow me lol. [/quote]Perhaps your technique is too aggressive and loud?

[/quote]Mate, I'm no micro economist so I can't comment on that........... I did want to say that you should look out for a second hand one. I bought one last year. It was about this time too actually. You'll find one. Bass Direct often have some in and out of their "Secondhand and EX-demo" section. I'll look out for one for you too. There is a stunning one on here actually. Inca silver or something. OHSC. Stunning it is. Can't remember the price. Chewie

Has BASSCHAT.co.uk got a presence there.........? I'm thinking about wearing a name badge..... We could meet up and have a shandy together, or two........

Que.......... That just made me roar.

Thanks buddy, I'll try that. Chewie

Evening all, Excuse me for being a numpty......... no longer a newbie but still a ............. How does one make ones pictures bigger when one is trying sell an item? Some of you cats have some great adverts and all I can get is thumbnails. I know one can click on them and they go up in size but that's not the point......! While I'm at it, how does one add a list of ones gear to ones profile? Hyperspaced,

Oh, and Music In Exile by Songhoy Blues. They had to leave their home country to make this album as music is banned there.......... IMAGINE THAT?

How was Bass Direct in the end? I love it in there They are opinionated, that is true. They are dedicated to bass though. IMO. I ordered a Sandberg California from them. Plus, a Genz Benz rig. It was a great day. Luke, who doesn't work there anymore, was a top lad. Mark, the gaffer is cool. He knows his stuff. They put you straight. I call Mark the Oracle. I email him alsorts of random questions. He never tells me to go forth, when he could easily. I went in not long ago to check out 1972 jazz bass, in white with black fret inlays and the guy Marcus, Mark's new chap on the floor, dissuaded me from buying it. As I drove home, I thought "Tosser, I didn't like him." However, with hindsight he was right. My jaunt up there wasn't half as much fun but it made me realise I had gone there on a whim. They knew.

Hello guys and girls..... I'm feeling the love for my first proper amp and cabinet set up. It's Genz Benz. Shuttle 6.2 with a 15 and a 210 Focus cab........ I always had combos by Fender and Line 6 and one day I woke up, drove to Bass Direct, ordered a Sandberg California and bought a Genz Benz set up there. I'm loving this website. You guys have taught me so much from reading your forums and I was wondering how you arrived at your amplification now? What did you start with? Was it sh*te? What steered you? The style of bass you play? Have you stayed with a particular amp and bought better cabs? Or was it the other way round? Were you looking for a particular sound or did you stumble across something beautiful? Can you describe your back line sound? Warp speed and regards, Chewie

I'm with you bubinga5...... Turner reminds of a sort of Juian Clary dullard in a lot of ways. I love some of the bass on Rock Dust Light Star mind....!

Hey Twincam, Interesting thread.... What cabs do you use then?
