I've been using Interparcel for a few years and I've only had one issue where my amp was lost in transit, I received someone else's amp and he received mine, luckily we were in the same town and got in touch with each other and exchange amps. My flight case had been damaged in transit I told Interparcel and they paid for it straight away, plus £15 extra for the trouble. CityLink? Two weeks ago we got a delivery from them, the parcel was clearly damaged on one side, big, big hole on the box, it was very obvious. It was a heavy package so when he delivered it to my partner he placed it so she couldn't see the damaged, when I got home and turn the box around to unpack I saw it and rang him straight away, I had his mobile...he already new it was damaged! I arranged for the company to send me a new item. Package out for delivery, us all day home keeping an eye on the tracking number when all of a sudden it changes to "Attempted Delivery, card left"... I could not believe it, we did not leave the house all day and no one came and, of course no card was left! Two days later the same guy from CityLink turns up, I asked him about it and he just said "yes I did try to deliver it", when I told him no card was left and we had been home all day, all he said was " whatever mate"... He didn't t give a s***t. I contacted CityLink and told them about this guy, his attitude and his lies, they were very surprised and offer me a refund for the shipping costs. .

Another great transaction with Ian. Bought my VT Bass and the deal couldn't have gone any better: great communication and prompt payment. People, do not hesitate, Ian is a great Basschatter. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the pedal.

Ritter, Aguilar, Bergantino - Apparently a great sounding combination!
PauBass replied to molan's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='molan' timestamp='1383504220' post='2265196'] I think it may be because they do have a distinct sound. If someone tries one in a shop they'll know pretty quickly if that sound is for them. If they like it then they buy a TH and hang on to it. I think it's most likely that used ones come from people who've bought on a recommendation or review and then discovered it wasn't quite the right sound for them Great reliability as well, I've not heard of any coming back in for warranty repairs [/quote] So to clarify, is it voice kinda like the DB750? Or at least can provide that tone? Not sure there's any places close to Brighton were I can try one. -

PauBass replied to molan's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='molan' timestamp='1383479661' post='2264803'] I know exactly what you mean. I've never played anything that gives weight to low notes like the DB750. The TH can deliver a lot of the core tone but it'll never quite have the depth the DB has. It comes close enough for me really and the weight difference is a life saver if you have to carry hints for any distance It is surprisingly loud though. Last night I was running into a single 8ohm 2x10 cab in a very large room with two loud guitarists and I didn't go above about 12:00 on both pre and master volume. I'm no expert on exactly how different people rate their watts but I know the power module in the TH500 is the same one some other claim 900w for! [/quote] I must definitely try one....or buy one but they don't seem to come up for sale second hand often...that must be a good sign? -
£285 delivered anyone? It is mint condition, very little use. -

Ritter, Aguilar, Bergantino - Apparently a great sounding combination!
PauBass replied to molan's topic in General Discussion
Yes, it does sound like a great bass-amp-combination. I have never play a Ritter but I have been using Aguilar amps and Bergantino cabs for quite a few years now and I see what you mean. Bergantinos, best cabs around for my taste, I've had three and all of them where great cabs. I've been meaning to try an Aguilar TH500 for a while, I just keep reading excellent comments. As you, I also have a DB750, I wouldn't mind loosing some of the weight but not sure if the TH500 will be loud enough and if I will loose too much on note weight. Glad to hear the gig went so well -

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1378125215' post='2195959'] We have this discussion every year when the X-Factor lumbers (slithers?) onto our television screens... Thing is, it's just a Saturday night 'talent' show. Nothing more. There have been shows of this kind on our screens for decades. Fair enough it's ok to grumble about it. I'd say it's almost a tradition But it's a bit like reading Heat Magazine and then bemoaning its lack of coverage of bluegrass or avant-garde jazz. Quite simply, it's not a show aimed at discerning musicians. It's goal is to shovel populist karaoke down the lug'oles of people who enjoy singing along to daytime radio - and who enjoy the 'drama' of the process. It's nothing more than that. It certainly doesn't threaten good quality music. If anything, it shines a light on the throwaway, battery-farmed nature of the commercial music machine (which has operated in pretty much the exact same fashion since The Monkees and long before, albeit without the public audience in tow). Let 'em get on with it, I say. And in the immortal words of Why Don't You: "Just switch off your TV set and do something less boring instead". [/quote] Well said, I couldn't agree more with you.

have we reached the pinacle??? of bass playing
PauBass replied to 4 candles's topic in General Discussion
....[size=4]Here we go again.[/size] He might not be the pinacle of bass playing but Fernando is not one of those Youtube bassplayers we often see. He's a musician, he's understanding of music, harmony, theory....is incredible, he's not just a bass player, he's a musician! You can tell he has many influences but he also has his own personality/style and that shows on his compositions. He's played bass for big names in Spain, something you don't get to do unless you are a bit good?..He's been around for a long time, and he has made his name by playing with bands/session work, not by doing Youtube videos. You like what he does or not but that's a different story in my eyes. -
Wow, very interesting stuff coming up on this thread, things I had no idea about [size=4]Well I'm going to give Barefaced a try, Alex has been very helpful and as soon as the cab is ready I'll go down to their headquarters and check it out...looking forward to it![/size]

[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1377530772' post='2188519'] Just out of interest and as I am in Brighton - why not Bernie Goodfellow this time ? [/quote] Let's say he's not very fond of Vintage Fenders A few years ago my '78 jazz bass suffered from some fret buzz on some of the upper frets, I took the bass to him, he did some work on the frets and I collected the bass. The bass played well but after 2-3 months the buzz was back. I went to his shop again so he could have a look and, to my surprise, he asked me who had done that bad job on the upper frets, I told him it had been him and he refused to accept it, no way he had done it and in fact he got a bit upset with me.

[size=4]I like both [/size] [size=4]I've had my HP desktop for a few years now, over 5, and I have never, never had a problem with it, believe it or not.
