Well good for you, you sound like a very angry young man.

I don't think you need to be qualified to flip a switch? My Superfly is 230v.

So, what should I set it to?! Haha.

I just ordered one, I know Alan from ACG just got one delivered too, I am planning on using it with a POD XT Pro.

I wonder why my 6505 came with it set to 220/230, it had the UK adapter attached to it! I have changed it now, I guess it doesn't make much difference though.

This isn't a bass amp (guitar amp, booo), what should I set it to? 240v in UK isn't it? I have options of 220/230 or 240! Danke.

Wray! :brow:

I would pick a Sandberg over Spector, and Warwick now too, even though I used to love both of those.

[quote name='DaveDDF' post='129822' date='Jan 29 2008, 10:06 AM']In my search for a nice jazz, someone has mentioned sandberg as being a good option for me maybe? I play pretty full on metal, and the likes of Andy Sneap etc recommend them in the studio etc etc.[/quote] Bloke from The More I See whose name I cannot remember (Lee maybe?) is endorsed by Sandberg, and I know Sneap is mates with Gizz Butt and has recorded them, so might of heard of Sandberg via him. Anyway, they are awesome, I love mine.

Not surprised the shop closed with the staff in there! Wouldn't be surprised if they dissappeared altogether with their rubbish website too.

I got the Dickens one a while back for very cheap off the net somewhere (don't remember where), but haven't had time to sit down and properly go through it, seems okay though.

Seen a picture of it assembled

...these 2 smilies is causing me great trouble, as they are, the best smilies ever!

You might be able to pick up a used Ampeg B2RE for that, or pay £400 for a new one.

Been delayed because of one of the pickups being dead, so no to Wednesday now, think I will keep the day off anyway and play xbox, haha.

I finally dragged this up to my room to join the rest of my musical crap, anyway.....

Yeah, I did like the Mesa, but I gave up bass for a couple of years and concentrated on guitar and it was before I gave up that I sold it. Not sure the trace model, it was a 1x15 combo, 300 watts I think, and I had the matching 4x10, it was my first proper amp, spent my uni loan on it from flying pig music!

I've owned a couple of SWR, Mesa Boogie Basis M 2000, Ashdown Superfly, Trace Elliot, Markbass Little Mark, and a bunch I cannot even remember anymore! If I decide to get another amp, it'll probably be Eden or a Thunderfunk, or another Markbass as I did like that and it was the closest to what I want, or maybe even a POD XT pro and a poweramp to give the versatility.

[quote name='minty fresh death' post='128311' date='Jan 26 2008, 04:59 PM']What sort of stuff were you playing on the SWR?[/quote] I play kinda hip hop stuff, I am actually still yet to find a sound I am totally happy with, I have an issue with so many different style of songs and not enough bass sounds (hence why I thought the superfly was a good idea). When I was younger, I pretty much exclusively played in metal and hardcore bands.

I dunno, probably 6/7/8 months? What do you want to know? I'm not very good at describing amps, I never had a use for the overdrive, so apart from turning it on once or twice when messing around and bored I can't tell you much like how it cuts through etc. Sounds like a normal SWR, it wasn't modern and clean sounding enough for me in the end (like markbass are), when I started playing SWR were my dream heads, and I guess that's why I picked it up, but at the end of the day it doesn't suit what I do now. I miss my markbass now, but my vocalist is travelling the world, so I hardly play (hence why I have a dirt cheap superfly).

I had one, and had no issues whatsoever with the reliability in the time I had it, I just went off the sound in the band I played in (and had a cheaper head I could use instead, which was a markbass).
