well it arrived safely tis afternoon, and i have to say i'm pleasantly impressed! There are a couple of very minor scuffs to the bass of the tolex covering, but plugged a bass in and it sounds great! not the loudest amp in the world but it should be well loud enough for a rehersal in the house!! The first time ive bought something without seeing any pics of it but very pleased with the outcome!! and for £175 too!!!

Ive been after a decent quality practice combo for a while, and now after selling off some gear had a bit of 'spare' cash in paypal, anyway, spotted one of these PJB's on ebay for £179 used! Anyway i ve took the plunge!! (worryingly a bit as he didnt put any pics up!) just wondered peoples views/reviews on these?? Its not going to be gigged, used purely as practoce around the house or for low level 'jams' at a mates house!

I've only ever gigged with flats! I love the sound of them I too HATE zingy strings, and with flats you dont get that even fresh out of the packet, My warwick has flats on and has had the same set on for the last 7yrs+ theyre really growly now and i'm loathed to change them!!! FLATS ARE BEST!!!!!!!

I've got the ashdown MAG600 head and i run it through a schroeder 1212L cab, the sound is awesome!!! I used to run an old MAG300 head through a Marshall 4x10 and that sounded great too. Ive read a few reviews on the MAG 600 head and they were mixed! Ive ran ashdown stuff most if my gigging life 7yrs+ and NEVER had any problems with their sound or reliability.

I had a mahogany '51 a coupke of years ago, for the money it was OK, never got round to modding it so sold it!!! I did, however like the look/feel of it but sound wise it wasn't great.

First proper gig with this tonight and OMG!!!! i had to turn my amp down!!! this thing outs out amazing volume and very clear! the guitarist complained that he was maxed out on his amp and struggled to hear!!!!! VERY IMPRESSED with this much nicer sounding than my MB 2x10 cab.

will do - dimensions of the cab are: H x W x D (mm) 468 x 604 x 420 so i guess theyre really the internals for the cover too!!

got rid of the cab, and forgot to give the guy the cover so if anyone wants it its free - lets just say a fiver to cover postage???

i've dropped it to £400, but still no-one, i could go further but then i'm at a loss with anything i want tobuy - catch22!!! TBH though, i have seen and played a few us ones that really were poorer quality than this one!! i guess Skoda syndrome comes into it - built as highly as vw but its the badge that puts people off!!!

I've had a few... Marlin Sidewinder (my first bass mid 80's) Yamaha RBX800 (my first 'proper' bass bought with my entire first months pay cheque!!) Warwick fortress on (1992 - bought with my entire first months pay when i got a new job - and i've still got it and is my main gigging bass I'll never part with it) Epi les paul bass Epi EB3 Fender mex jazz Squire jazz Squire P Bass Status S2 (OMG why oh why did I sell it??!!!) Steinberger Spirit washburn AB10 (still got it) Dean EUB (just bought it) Westone Thunder 1A x 2 (sold one kept one) Status shark passive hohner B2A stick Squire P special thats all i can remember at the minute.

Just curious guys, i posted my jazz in the for sale section but had absolutely NO interest!? its the fender jazz 24 fret model, made for a couple of years i believe but no longer made. Granted it says 'made in korea' on it and tru fenderites may disapprove but its build REALLY well and plays great. Is it just that no-one wants a 24 fret jazz? or is it really just because it says 'Korea'??? just curious
