I seem to recall making a voluntary contribution some time ago... is that no longer available for those that wish to do so?

I came on here by mistake and I've yet to find the exit...

I've not noticed any major failings and from my (limited) viewpoint I don't see change for the sake of change being necessary! If it ain't broke...

Nice Ben.

Not surprised your back is shot... look at the bike! I wouldn't worry about the Schroeder's height it tends to be heard pretty clearly regardless of proximity (mid hump I believe but don't let that make you think that it lacks bottom end). The Zoots get good reviews and are very similar to the Tecamp cabs at a fraction of the price. I've not heard Alex or BFM's cabs but they seem to be well spec'd and receive glowing praise. I do have to say that if you are considering a single cab that weighs 19kg then why not 2 that weigh 19kg? You'd only ever be carrying one at a time! In which case you can then start to consider a lot of alternatives, inc the Aguilar GS/DB12's which would come in under your budget. Oh it starts getting really messy when you can't try them first, I should know I went through the same process due to a dicky shoulder.

I realise the end of the neck shows a 69 date but there's just something about the fingerboard and aspects of the bass in general (is that body colour a Fender colour?) that make me think it isn't what it's cracked up to be. I'm not saying it's a scam but it doesn't look right to me!

So what's wrong with this Rickenbacker... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Red-Rickenbacker-bass-guitar-and-hard-case_W0QQitemZ300271543124QQihZ020QQcategoryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Red-Rickenbacker-bas...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]

It's one thing for a mixed up non-expert to imagine they have a rarity that is worth a small fortune but when a shop retails a 20w practice amp worth... Oh eleventy twelve pence; then you know they are having a laugh!

[quote name='bassoctopus' post='322851' date='Nov 5 2008, 06:21 PM']Interesting - don't want that kind of problem. Were you pushing it really hard? I've not looked at amps since I got the Trace, so apart from Mesa, what else should I be looking at that won't break my back?[/quote] What makes you think the Mesa is a light weight? I'd use the search facility on the forum as there are loads of threads discussing the merits of light weight amps like EA, Markbass et al.

Bubinga.

[quote name='bassoctopus' post='321260' date='Nov 3 2008, 07:53 PM']Is the Walkabout loud enough? It's only rated at 300W at 4ohm[/quote] You could pick up one of the new Thunderfunk amps from the States (750 watts @ 4 ohms and 'can' run at 2 ohms) as they are voltage switchable... if it wasn't your cup of tea I'd have it off you.

[quote name='Marcus' post='321223' date='Nov 3 2008, 07:22 PM']Had loads of Eden gear and it's all been great.... The WT400 is great !![/quote] I completely forgot that you'd owned most of the Eden range (inc a Metro or two) over the years. In fact if anyone in the NE wants info on any of the top marques I should just point them in your direction anyway, as there can't be many brands you've not tried (and I mean that in a good way, not sarky ).
