  1. I'm after an education here, so any thoughts would be happily received... What's the potential damage to the amp? From a logical point of view I would see the amp as feeding the cabs, so where does damage to the head come into the equation? And yes, I understand the slightly condecending statement of "The amp doesnt magically double in power to 1200w", I was more inferring to the potential load being recieved by the cabs if functioning at 2 ohm the the resitance is halved. So, with two 4 ohm cabs coming into the amp at 2 ohm, whats the risk of damage if the amp is rated at 600w on the rear panel with the handbook rated power being 500w into 4 ohm?
  2. I'm not great with the wattage/ohm equation. Does daisy-chaining two 8B 4 Ohm cabs then present half that load to the amp? With potentially a 2 Ohm resistance would I be right in saying that the cabs are then much more vulnerable to damage as with half the ohmage it essentially doubles the recieved wattage into the speakers? With each cab being 400w and the head being 600w would it then stand to reason that I could in theory push the 600w to say 2/3 power (say 400w equiviance) based on the 2 ohm resistance effectively halving the joint cab wattage to a combined 400w instead of 800w? So really, I suppose the question is, am I safe enough with running the Markbass at no more that 2/3 volume into both these cabs if they present a joint load of 2 ohm? Techy stuff!
  3. MarkBass Multiamp Mono.
  4. They are both 8B cabs. I've had no issues running the head with both cabs. The cabs are daisy chained with only one being directly linked to the head.
  5. Given I'm probably one of the most likely candidates to end up with this bass, what kind of trades are you interested in?
  6. Customs is a b*tch. When Binky arrived I got stung for £800 in import tax. The next bass I bought from the USA I flew over and got it as it was actually cheaper than paying the tax!
  7. Hipshot do have a great customs process, I reckon it would have been circa £150 as a custom spec order... curious to know how close that guess is!
  8. A contender for the oldest for sale thread on BassChat! There's very few of us 8 string players out there! Me and maybe 2 others on BC tops. 😅 Looks like a factory bass, a GT7 is ideal to mod into an 8 as the headstock and machine head placement are literally perfectly placed to add that extra machine head.
  9. Or you can fly out to Croatia and collect the bass where Dennis will buy you shots of strange alcohol!
  10. That would indeed appear to be an upside down bridge...
  11. If you're genuinely interested in a trade for bikes, then I have two cracking ones that haven't been used in a while! A Specialized 29er and a top end Marin Bear Country Special.
  12. Would it be wrong to have 4 of these? 🤔
  13. The KL 11 string fretless was in the works when I stayed with Jean all of about 7 years ago! Still yet to be finished I believe.
  14. I actually had the privilege of staying with Jean for 3 days some years ago, I bought his 9 string Pac-Man Conklin and as I flew over to San Francisco to collect it, he kindly put me up for 3 days! The man has a crazy collection of vintage arcade games in his basement. Also has the honour of playing that very bass... it's a savage beast!
  15. If you were closer then I'd be sorely tempted.
  16. I have two of these, they are indeed fantastic cabs! A great price too on these...
  17. Looks like dyed spalted maple to me... could easily be wrong!
  18. If this was a 6 souls would have been sold to buy it!
  19. I want this more than I've wanted something in a long while! Might need to get rid of the Aguilar rig for this thing!
  20. The gold hardwear looks awful. Stick it in the trash, along with the seller.
  21. The brand new price of a legend NT in that colour with the Aguilar pickups is £849. So he's given you a generous 9% off! Lol.
  22. Must of been an honest mistake/lack of knowledge as they've now amended the title and description to show Legend and not Euro. Still... £770 Is definitely a chancers asking price!
  23. @Jono Myself and Tony have sent probably around 20 basses to each other via Eurosender, all fully insured. One bass did suffer damage but the insurance paid out so I would agree with Tony and recommend Eurosender. It costs around €40 to send a bass in a hardcase to Europe insured for up to €2000.
  24. Great basses, but I never understood why they made them 23.5 frets! 24.5 I understand, but 23.5... just odd! But still, for the money, I doubt there's a better 6er out there!
