    [quote name='Sean' post='1117746' date='Feb 6 2011, 03:11 PM']+1. Thunderous for their size and sound like a full on all-valve head. The quality is fantastic and the head removes easily so that you can use it with cabs. It's the sort of combo that raises an eyebrow from guitarists who don't think it'll be loud enough, then same guitarist asks if you can turn it down cos it's drowning out his AC30! [/quote] Looks like we've settled the volume issue then.

    [quote name='tredders' post='1117727' date='Feb 6 2011, 02:54 PM']I'm horribly tempted by this. Been looking at these for a while now. Just a dumb question - how useable are they for gigs without the extension cab?[/quote] Depends on the band and the venue of course but these are loud combos (especially the 4 ohm version) so unless you were up against a bunch of Marshall stacks and a hit everything as hard as possible drummer you're probably not going to have a problem.

    GHS Black Nylons 50-105 long scale like this: I bought these from Clarky a couple of months ago but I'm not going to be using them just as he wasn't going to be using them. £23.16 +P&P at Thomann. I paid Clarky £20 posted. Yours for £18 posted. Come and get 'em.

    [quote name='karlfer' post='1018104' date='Nov 9 2010, 08:52 PM'][/quote] I've made that joke several times and you're the first person ever to laugh. So 'Thank you very much'.

    [quote name='lee650' post='1117481' date='Feb 6 2011, 11:27 AM']I had one of these a while ago,i really regret selling it, great bass for the money, going at a very good price too considering the additional endpin, shame im skint!!! bump[/quote] Thanks Lee, because I've still got your old one and it's still going strong. It's about to get some new tuners and a set of Obligatos. Someone buy this bass.

    'Keeper' does seem to mean different things to different people and can vary from 'I've had it for two weeks and I have no plan to sell it before tomorrow' to 'My mother bought it for me as a first birthday present in 1951 and I could never part with it even though it's a dog'.

    [quote name='lettsguitars' post='1117278' date='Feb 6 2011, 01:26 AM']protect the main areas. card between strings and fingerboard (no loose strings flappin around scratchin pups and that), protect the back of the neck, pad around the controls, basic scratch proofing on the body, maybe some padding around the nut, gig bag, bubble wrap, box (homemade). failing that, a [b]nardcase[/b].;[/quote] [u]Strange but true part 1[/u]: I used to know someone with the name Bernard Case. He was known as 'Nardcase'.

    [quote name='pikeman' post='1117431' date='Feb 6 2011, 10:29 AM']Speaking as a neutral in this, I think this is a reasonable offer from the seller and probably best accepted. Shake hands and move on. A lesson learned by everybody here. Steve.[/quote] +1

    [quote name='setekh' post='1117547' date='Feb 6 2011, 12:27 PM']What I do find amazing is how the same information is interpreted in so many distinct ways by different people. It is good evidence that eBay is a place one should describe (or ask) everything up to the last detail.[/quote] Yep.

    [quote name='Dusty' post='1116783' date='Feb 5 2011, 06:09 PM'][b]Would you ship this expensive Pro Level bass via Parcel Force (£28.00) with just a bit of 'sticky tape' across the catches of the case ?[/b][/quote] First, I wouldn't ship any bass, pro level or piece of sh1t, with only sticky tape round the case. It needs to be boxed properly. Second, I read the advert (as you report it) as clearly including the case in the sale. However, even if the case were a 'give away' merely for protecting the bass during shipping I'd still expect proper packing. Third, as long as the bass is fine, I'd probably drop any complaint about the case and the packing as not worth the hassle. I'd satisfy myself with knowing I would write the advert more clearly and pack the bass properly.

    [quote name='tedgilley' post='1117012' date='Feb 5 2011, 08:41 PM']What did they do on Last Waltz that needs forgiveness? (A straight question.) tg[/quote] [quote]The soundtrack recordings underwent post-concert production featuring heavy use of overdubbing and re-sequencing.[/quote]

    Blimey!

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='1116962' date='Feb 5 2011, 08:07 PM']Sorry Dave, Michael, and I may well be wrong, but from what little I can see of his bass playing on that video it's another of his post-production overdubs. I don't think we're hearing what he actually played on stage that night. I've never really forgiven The Band for what they did on The Last Waltz.[/quote] That'll be why I advised Big Pink and not Last Waltz.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='1116956' date='Feb 5 2011, 08:04 PM']As an aside, I bought 'the brown album' by The Band on the advice of burritobass and rather like it (though I definitely have to be in the mood). Is it worth getting 'Music from the big pink' too or have I got the best one?[/quote] Get Big Pink.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='1116939' date='Feb 5 2011, 07:59 PM']It's no use - I can't bear it. I have to redress the balance... [/quote] Ah, well done.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='1116769' date='Feb 5 2011, 05:55 PM']For the avoidance of doubt (and so as not to offend Dave!), I meant that from his slurred speech and ropey fretless playing it sounds like he had a drink or several before recording this video. Bit sad really, like the Jaco instructional video which shows a man with problems[/quote] I could not possibly be offended by you Clarky. I am now drinking Polish lager.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='1116755' date='Feb 5 2011, 05:43 PM']Sounds like he got there before you[/quote]

    I love The Band but after that I need a drink.

    [quote name='Hiperi0n' post='1116709' date='Feb 5 2011, 04:57 PM']Yeah you are right we didnt mention the japanese connection....sorry but english is not my first language so i didnt mean to be rude [/quote] No problem. [quote name='Hiperi0n' post='1116709' date='Feb 5 2011, 04:57 PM']But what i can garantee it is all 100% stock USA reissue, than for this knobs' "dilemma" , there are several hypotesis....but i told im ready to lower the price eventually for who is interested to put a stack knobs plate...so no problem i guess [/quote] Some people will prefer the V/V/T anyway.

    [quote name='Hiperi0n' post='1116693' date='Feb 5 2011, 04:45 PM']read above we have discussed it before[/quote] I had read the whole thread, I realise what was discussed. Maybe I missed it but I thought the Japan connection had not been mentioned. Good luck with the sale, nice looking bass.
