[/quote] [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1447090781' post='2904778'] Just leave it. No big deal is it? Just replace the stand and move on. sh*t happens, no-one got hurt and at least she didn't break anything worth hundreds of pounds. [/quote] Your answer is leave it, and the reasons are articulated nicely in the above two posts

But he's not playing in a band situation and is clearly doing it to show off his skills. Not my thing but fair play to him.

Just opened a couple of boxes from Jamie, I can't tell you how easy and enjoyable it was to do business with him, great comms and immediate delivery, and it should not go without noting that even the courier noted the quality of the packing! Highly highly recommended. Chris

With obvious exceptions you can pretty much put anything through anything. Part of the mojo of the B-15 tone is however the cab. Perhaps try it the other way around, that is put another head through the B-15 cab, and you might see what I mean. Volume/power is one thing, and is easily achieved, mojo on the other hand is a little more elusive

[quote name='hookys6stringbass' timestamp='1445950777' post='2895614'] What a find!!! I've been after one of these for years to add to my vintage Yamaha collection...enjoy. [/quote] Thanks mate, I'll let you know if/when I decide to sell it

Heavy is the only way, lightweight works, but only to a point.

Should have added to the above post that, in my opinion, a fretless bass really needs to speak to you, to respond to your fingers in accordance with the sound in your head, and to feel 'right' in your hands. I strongly believe that you have to do a lot of trial an error to find the right instrument (I've had over 20). Not sure where you're based but getting along to one of the BC Bass Bash events and playing a load of different instruments, some of which may also be for sale at much lower prices than you'll pay in any shop, is a good start.

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1445924195' post='2895378'] Hi Myke, fyi, I shipped a bass last week from Germany to the Czech Republic using dpd (deutsche paket dienst) who, I believe, also operate in the UK. They upped their automatic insurance value from €520,- up to €1000,- for an additional charge of €11,- and they knew it was a bass. Cheers Paul [/quote] The fact that they knew it was bass doesn't mean that they have to pay out if it's damaged, it's your responsibility to read the small print, not theirs. Couriers make a lot of money on 'insurance (it's not insurance in real terms, it's secondary customer spend, i.e., mostly profit). Like life insurance salesmen, they'll happily take your money with little or zero due diligence their end, only getting into the details if you make a claim, which is when they'll point out that they don't include musical instruments in the cover they sell

[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1445694915' post='2893507'] So he's been told to look at his tone and volume control a few times before and doesn't respect the views of his bandmates? Get rid mate. There's tonnes of great guitarists out there that won't make you nervous every time you gig. Going out and gigging should be fun for everyone. How are you ok with the fact that your keys player has a meltdown in the middle of the gig shouting at the dude telling him to turn down? It's not normal and it's not ok. This guy is ruining the fun for everyone and he needs to go. [/quote] Nothing more needs to be said than this.

Simple economics, more people selling than buying. However, there's also a lot of folks living in cloud cuckoo land, bumping time and again gear that can be bought cheaper from dealers or eBay with warranty and/or buyer protection. Come with the growth I guess?
