Looks like the pre-amp is sold out... however the bundles are still showing availability... this deal will be long gone before I'm in a position to buy! I suppose I don't need a 4th rig anyway...

Sorely tempted to order a full rig... might see if they can hold one for me while I frantically try to raise £1500!

Martin bought a non-fucntioning Eden WTX260 off of me, as usual payment was prompt with no problems! We've done a good few deals over the years and Martin has never been anything other than a gentleman, more than happy to do business with Martin, dealing with a trusted BCer is always a pleasure. Cheers sir, Russ.

Tony bought (yet) another bass from me, payment was super fast as always, no problems what so ever! This must be the 10th time we've done business, never an issue with Tony, always a smooth and easy transaction from a trusted seller/buyer!

I bought a Yamaha TRB6JP from Pentode last week, he sent it via 24 hour post at it even arrived before I'd actually paid!! Condition was spot on, a fantastic bass that's been very well looked after. I'd be very happy to recommend Pentode, an all round good chap! Cheers Sir! Russ.

I usually use them side by side, I feel because these cabs are tall and narrow they are a little unstable when stacked!

I've had a bit of a splurge on amps... I tend to go through fits and starts with this kind of thing and this last week has been a busy week of amp intakes! I picked up an Eden Metro 2x12 from here a week ago, I forgot how truly awesome these beasts are! Though they weigh the same as a small star... fantastic 'Rock' sound out of these... I also bought a PJB M300 and 8B cab, I truly love these cabs (already have an 8B cab I use with my MarkBass), probably the best sounding and most versatile cab I've played through. I wasn't so impressed with M300, a great sounding amp but a bit underpowered for me. And thirdly, after a partial trade with the aforementioned M300, I took delivery of two Aguilar DB112 cabs and a Tone Hammer 500. This is a superb rig, the head is remarkably light and powerful, the tone is varied and the EQ very useful. A top little rig. After getting rid of the M300 head, I used the 8B cab along side my other 8B cab and my MarkBass Multiamp Mono, this is simply excellent. Light, VERY powerful and hugely versatile, all the effects you could possible want and all controlled by a midi pedal that weights about 12 grams. Love this rig! So that's my current amp line up, the Aggie rigs the PJB/MB rig and the Eden combo. A great cross section of the amp world, all with their own merits but all fantasies things! No more amps for me for a while!

GAK are selling the same pre-amp at over £1800, Thomann at a shade over £500... You could get the full rig with both cabs for £1500 or so, seem remarkably cheap!

I just don't understand people that do that! What's the benefit?? Unless, I suppose, they had one of those £1 sellers fee offers and wanted to secure the offer but didn't have pictures etc. Other than that, inexcusable!! Lol

From personal experiance, I'd use that money to tour a few basses... With the exception of Fodera (massively overpirced in my humble opinion, but they do keep their residual value quite well) you could buy two VERY nice high end basses second hand from here, Reverb, eBay etc. and try them out for a few months, then sell them on and try a few more until you really find what you're looking for, once you've honed in on what you want you can then confidently buy your perfect bass. ACG are great instruments, I'd also put a vote in for a USA Conklin though I'm not sure what you'd get for 3K as they are pricey beasts! Overwater make superb basses too. You could probably find a Wal somewhere for circa 3K, they keep excellent value and sell quickly. Unless you know EXACTLY what you want, I'd lean away from custom made and definitely look at pre-owned, why spend 3, 4, 5, 6+ grand on a bass when you can buy it pre-loved for a third of the cost! Happy hunting sir, let us know what you get!
