They're comfortable to play as well. Personally I just can't get used to the look of the Lakland basses- the round bridge looks a bit weird to me (but then so does anything that's not a Fender ) Having said that, if it's P or J my vote would go to the precision. It's just the classic sound for all those old tunes IMO. Jo[/quote] Do you guys know if on this Fender model the P pickup is in the exactly same placement as on a regular P bass?

The last time I bought an American Precision which sucked and I've send them an email that I want to return it and they arranged the whole thing and UPS drop by my place and pick it up and when it arrived back to musicstore I got a full refund![/quote] I have also bought many things from them and they offer a great service. Not long ago I bought from them a Fender Precision and after two weeks I had the chance to buy '77 Jazz bass for a good priece. I told them I wanted to return it and they arrange with UPS to come and pick it up, didn't have to pay anything and got a full refund straight away... Of course I bought the '78 Jazz bass instead.

I've had two bad experiences with them in a 4 month period: 1- When I sold my EBS Fafner and I sent it to Spain: The amp was mounted on a hard rack unit, then wrapped with bouble wrap and then packed in a box. Well, delivery time took 5 more days than the service I had pay for and when it got there the box was a completly mess, it was clear that had been dropped, it was falling apart and they had solved the problem with gaffer tape everywhere. When the guy open the parcel, everything look fine but when he was going to try it he noticed something on the inside of the amp was loose. He checeked the amp and the transformer was completly free, the screw that holds it was broken and also the simulate valve light had been destroyed completly. Of course when I talked to Parcelforce they made imposible for me to claim anything back... Then, the buyer, had it checked by an EBS dealer to make sure of the extent of the damge and, luckily enough, the repair wasn't very serious and it ended up on a 60 euros repair.... 2- Bass Rockstand: I bought this stand from Ebay two weeks ago and the seller send it by Parcelforce 24 hours.... guess what? Delivery took 72 hours! I was at home at all times the delivery day and noone came, then I tracked the parcel and for my surprise, it said "delivery attempted". Then, it was automatically redelivered on the next day but, again the parcel did not arrived. unreliabl On the third day it arrived but at 6.45pm.. funnily enough their delivery hours are till 6 pm. Now, if you ask for my opinion about Parcelforce at least two words come to my mind (...no, no, not the ones you are thinking, I don't want to be rude) they are [b][size=4]Useless[/size][/b] and [b][size=4]Unreliable[/size][/b].

I agree that he does not recommend using a step down transformer for a number of reasons - if you want the reasons then give him a bell, but I trust his advice. The transformer you have in the 6PRO *should* be multitap, which means you don't need a new transformer, but if it's anything like my 4PRO, then there is some changes needed to the internal circuit breaker also. Gonna cost you about £120 or so, but better and safer than carrying around a great weight of a transformer.[/quote] I also have an Ampeg SVT 4Pro, which I bought from the United States, and I used a transformer for a while but carrying it around was a nightmare, it was quite heavy! It's ok if you do not go out and play often but not if you gig or rehearse with your band quite regularly...I ended up having it converted by Mike at Panic Music a while ago. Sure it's going to cost you a bit more money than buying a transformer but most of the Ampeg amps use the Multitap system and they are ready to be converted into new voltage. Apart from having to carry the transformer everywhere they are not a 100% reliable and it something goes wrong with it you'll endup frying the power amp section and that repair is really expensive! I would highly recommend you to spend a bit more money convert the amp instead of using a transformer, it's worht every penny... Panic Music are an Authorized Ampeg Technichal Service and they are very good, they did mine in 8 days and I haven't had any problems at all and it something goes wrong it's under warranty. Give them a call and speak to Mike.
