If you know what you want, (which it appears you do) then you are halfway there! That model is available and likely to be a colour choice. I believe they most likely is black with a tort guard, as it tends to be the favourite in that model. My contact there was called Hiroaki and was an absolute star![/quote] Thanks Dood - just the response I wanted. Cheers

Have they stopped making those now? They've always looked good value. You must have big biceps (or you soon will have!)

I couldn't work out that ishibashi website! I clicked on 'email' to make an enquiry and it was all in japanese! I managed to get to a page of all different makes of used basses, but not new ones. If I want a new PB62-78US can they get me one? If someone has a link to their new basses or an email address that I can use, I'd be grateful. Thanks Ian

Here is my rig. These new DB112 cabs are awesome! Basses are custom Sirius headless models.

Thanks guys. Where's the best place to get new ones?

Hi, I understand one is 'made' and the other is 'crafted', but can someone explain the differences? Which is best, and how they compare to MIA's. Thanks Ian

That seems a bloody good buy to me.

[quote name='David Nimrod' post='115222' date='Jan 7 2008, 08:47 AM']'Relicing' might be fascinating in a 'how the hell do you actually do it in a convincing manner' sort of way... But the whole principle of it is just so *phoney* - I mean, it's basically a lie; remember stonewashed jeans? Relicing is done to confer 'mojo' (whatever that is) on an instrument. There is no shortcut to this. But more importantly it is done to confer 'mojo' on the player. There is no shortcut to this either. I remember over 20 years ago some photographers would buy a new Nikon F3 and wear the black paint down to the metal, on the corners. They just couldn't bear to be thought of as 'new'. But it's all a deceit, a symptom of impatience, and what's the point of that?[/quote] Nicely put in words what most of us are thinking!!

Not sure if this is real or not, but entertaining questions & answers!!

Is that the DB112 or 210?

You could spray some tinted lacquer to give that white maple a vintage look. DM Guitars in Rayleigh, Essex do spray cans with different tints.

Being the modern plastic stuff it looks ok too.

I know what you mean about the 'clack'. I don't know why more manufacturers don't opt for a small speaker instead of a horn, like the Hartke 4.5xk (brill cab by the way). Can't help on the H & K. Are you just anti-HF horns? You can attenuate most horns.

I've had TE cabs in the past, but now have three of the new Aguilar DB112 (1 x 12") cabs. Fantastic, and although NOT neo speakers, they are still very manageable. If you had four of these though you'd need an amp with 2-ohm capability.
