    I've got the same with the tort pickguard. The first P bass I've really bonded with, I love everything about it!

    I'm in a gigging band, but I've only got 1 bass, and one amp/cab. Been down the road too much of GAS in the past, so I'm just going to play this set-up until I give up, or quit when it gives up! Good thing is, when you do give up, a basic set-up is small enough to leave in the corner just in case you do ever come out of retirement, but not big enough to make you want to sell!

    Emailed Roqsolid, and it turns out they do make one for the 115, so it's on the way. I love their covers, and the protection against the elements they offer - feel much happier going out with one on. Couldn't imagine leaving the house without!

    I'm afraid they don't really do much for me, either!

    Sold some Fender Flats to Davie. Instantaneous payment, superb communication, and a great man to deal with! You can trust Davie 100%. Thanks again Davie, enjoy the Flats!

    [quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1425236679' post='2705449'] Have you tried Hotcovers.co.uk? I got one for my Ampeg PF115 and it's pretty good - fairly tough and well padded. [/quote] Just looked and they do them! Great tip - many thanks...and they send in 48 hours! I just like my stuff covered...!

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1425234821' post='2705405'] Yep as above Roqsolid will sort - and then put it up as a stock item usually if you tell them what amp/cab/combo it`s for. I always have covers for combos or cabs, more for protection against rain than anything. [/quote] Yup, same as me! I'm just so used to taking my gear out covered up, it's always weird when I don't. Got the cab coming this week, and with a gig and a studio date, I'll have to go naked until I can get a cover made. Shame no one does a generic 15" cab cover!

    Might have to get my tape measure out!

    I've just ordered one yesterday to go into my Rumble 500 combo. Never seen one in the flesh, so like what you've seen!

    Soon as I bought my new combo, I made sure I got a new cover right away. Now I've got the cab on the way - shock horror - I can't get a cover for it (not from Roqsolid, and I don't know of anywhere else!) Our guitarist never uses covers on any of his amps, I've noticed a fair few others that don't either! Am I being over cautious? Do cabs really need to be covered? Just wondering how many in BC land cover their electrical goods as well!

    I went from Jim Dunlop Tortex 1.0 down to the .88. Found them much easier to play, far better sound IMHO, and Iove the green!

    I've just ordered a the 115 cab to go with my 500. The 500 has got bags of go on it's own, but I couldn't resist the cab as an addition for bigger venues, and a larger tone. Loads of people over on Talkbass are using this set-up, seems to be really good. I've even joined the Rumble Club....!

    Sold - many thanks Davie!

    Have just passed on my beloved Markbass rig to Chris! Great chap to deal with - a man with a punishing schedule! Real smooth transaction, super-easy to deal with, and a genuinely nice guy as well. Hope you have many years to come with the gear Chris - enjoy it with my best wishes!

    Thanks Myke, much appreciated!

    I'm on the Romney Marsh! Baaaaa!!

    Just thinking ahead - and looking forward to hearing the OP's experience - would this be the cab to add to my Rumble 500 combo if I choose to expand down the line?

    [quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1424801393' post='2700635'] Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the first sign of madness apparently...welcome to the mad house! [/quote] Nurse! The screens!

    [quote name='peety' timestamp='1424764068' post='2700043'] Thanks Loz other comments seemed to indicate that, can't seem to find anywhere nearby to try one out so would be buying blind so to speak, guess i'm just after some reassurance, although at the price you can't really lose out Cheers steve [/quote] I bought mine 'blind' as well - and can only re-enforce my previous posts....these are as good as many have said. You can't go wrong. Just don't get it from GAK, as you might end up with the broken one I returned....and somebody had clearly returned before me!

    What is it about GAS that you move on gear for perfectly valid reasons at one time, only to sometime later wish you had it back/another one? It took me a good few Jazz basses to come to the conclusion that I don't like them very much. I felt like Charlie Brown where he keeps going to kick the football, and Lucy moved it every time...but he keeps going back, because this time he'll get it! ....and the cycle starts again!

    Link says not available in my location! It's not on Youtube yet....hopefully somebody will upload there.

    I just stuck some rounds on my P-bass, hit the vintage and bright settings on the Fender Rumble amp, and it sounded just like JJ!

    ....and sold pending to Beedster in a record 6 minutes!

    [size=5]Due to the arrival of a new combo, I have decided to sell on my Markbass rig. What I have is the 121P combo (or the Mini CMD 121P for the full title) and the matching New York 121 cab. [b][u]This set-up will give you 500w of pure lightweight power.[/u][/b] I'm sure if you have got this far, you will be well aware of how light these are. The combo is around 15kg, the cab about 13kg. You can use combo the on it's own, or plug in the cab for extra boom! I have owned these for around 4 years now. I have used them at rehearsals and gigs, but the condition is A1. There are no rips or tears, dents or dings. Used, but immaculate. [b]My gear is always very well looked after.[/b] Both come with custom fitted Roqsolid covers. [i][b]I had them stitched with the yellow surround, so the colours match the Markbass logo![/b][/i] Ideally, I'd like to sell these as a pair, with the buyer collecting. Plug in your bass and truly see and experience what you're getting. Only reason for selling is the acquisition of another combo, and I don't have the need for both. My pricing is based on the combo - [u][b]£450[/b][/u], and cab - [b][u]£250[/u][/b] - or you can have the pair for only [u][b]£600. I'll even throw in an OBBM Speakon cable with the pair. [/b][/u]That has got to be worth a trip - [u][b]such a rig new would set you back around nearly £1000[/b][/u], without the custom covers or cable.[/size] [size=5]Please note that Markbass products are now made in Indonesia. [u][b]These are not - they are the original, genuine, made in Italy.[/b][/u] I am based in New Romney, Kent. Cash on collection. Please PM for more details, and thanks for looking! [/size]
