    No disrespect but your guitar isn't worth £3000... it is 'used' (it might be immaculate/unplayed but still not 'new') and by your own admission worth about £2000; so realistically they have in fact offered you your expected value of 50% of £2000 = £1000. It has always been the case that a High St retail store will offer the absolute lowest value for a trade in. They have overheads, tax, paperwork, come-back concerns and ultimately have to make a profit never mind just breaking even. I'll concede that your expectation of the Ric for a used Spector @ £1700 isn't totally out of the question. As has been suggested, BassBros or similar might give you a better trade price but I'm 99% sure that if you sold on BC and had the readies in your hand you'd get the best deal buying the bass you are after... possibly even cheaper on BC.

    Strings through body doesn't factor with bridge locking screws. It used to be that bridge screws were generally slightly larger dia and had less tolerance than modern bridges; as such the bridge height screws 'could' (not always) vibrate and lower of their own accord. Several manufacturers cured this by adding this locking screw. However, it was a fix to a problem that not all bridges suffered and often you can just take them out... I've often forgotten to tighten them on some of my basses and I only notice several years later when I go to adjust the bridge!

    Where there is a fine line between having lovely stereo sent by an engineer who I can trust or me having control of bass level in a multi band, quick turn round scenario... it works for me.

    I have mine on my pedalboard. I run a line from my pre pedal to one input on the transmitter and the other channel is fed from the PA; it means I can tweak just the bass volume from the transmitter without needing to get engineer to boost me.

    Considering their returns policy, even better!

    No affiliation but I got my 5.8 from the ebay seller below. I paid zero tax/fees on top of that BUT I may have just been lucky. I also find it frustrating that the volume kn0b rotates freely/easily and it takes very little for it to turn down (never UP oddly). https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234741820221

    I have the same TKS 115 cab myself.

    2.5 - 3 hour drive down the road for us and the first time I've ever played the venue... or even within 75 miles of Oldham!

    This is where I ended up after a few budget system trials (and not so budget but still not on 5.8) and I couldn't be happier.

    https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=0707-ACO 14".... can you not jiggle the cupboard to fit?
  12. warwickhunt
    Would you be pairing the 112 with the 115 or replacing one for the other?
  13. warwickhunt
    Fair comment.
  14. warwickhunt
    No 'combi' inputs?

    Don't correct yourself too quickly... When I was a teenager I pulled a pair of Wem column speakers (my first foray into amplifying an instrument) out of a bin and they could well have been 10" or LESS!
  16. warwickhunt
    Our sub is 30% lighter than one of those and our pair of 10" QSC tops are lighter than one of those... no gains in weight or ease of transport but I'm 100% sure they'll sound great!

    Oddly enough @Beedster my band Cheat Trick have just decided to do The Budokan album in full at our next gig!
  18. warwickhunt
    I'd like to hear those!
  19. warwickhunt
    Ah but when will you be doing this format for the legendary first 'Cars' album?
  20. warwickhunt
    I got my Hagstrom for half that price and it is pretty playable!

    You can pick up used RCF 310s for £400 a pair (used) and a used RCF sub should be similar price £400... £200 left for a pair of stands and cables.

    I ran/run the smaller K10 and it does a sterling job. I don't use it with a modeller, I run an analogue bass preamp pedal into it; one line feeds the QSC and the other goes direct to PA. However, I also run an aux back from the PA desk to the QSC 2nd input and I can then blend a mix of PA feed with pure bass feed... ideal for 'more of me'! When I do use it I find that putting it on a PA stand/pole at the side of the stage at ear level gives me a perfect point of sound source (no wedge style firing at the knees or back of legs). The 10" model has a wider dispersion pattern than the 12" and the 10" can handle pretty much anything you put through it without complaining/farting.

    You can get fretless versions with inlays if you requested; I have had one, so I can state that as fact. However, the Dolphin is not a common bass and the fretless version was/is even rarer again.
  24. warwickhunt
    That is SO true! The amount of times I've read of folk waffling on about 'rare' or pre Custom Shop basses and one off Ltd Ed basses but back in the late 80's and 90's you told the dealer what you wanted and they made it. If you wanted a SSI bass with SD JJ pups (as per SSII), you asked; if you wanted a Dolphin with yin/yan inlays, you asked. They wouldn't retool a whole production line to do something but putting in different pups, preamps or inlays was just normal. Saying that, most folk bought whatever off the shelf bass was in the shop/store (normally at a discount).

    I would also add that if you aren't going to go the full custom mould, you need to find an IEM that fits your ear shape. I bought the KZs and couldn't get on with the fit, moved over to Sennheiser 100s and they fit 'me' superbly (regardless of the buds used). I'm sure it's all over on the Bible thread though!
