I had the original 2x10, and it was SO heavy for such a small cabinet. I have to be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of it. Really, to get any real tone, you need to push the cab but it really couldn’t handle the low B too well. You would really need a 4x10 but the weight of that scared me half to death. The cab also had to go back due to an issue with the tolex. It came loose, unbeknownst to me, and sounded like a speaker had gone. Darkglass knew what the issue was, and solved it without a problem. A great company but, the cabs didn’t work for me. I sold it to recently. I’m going IEMs. These new cabs look interesting, weight wise. I’ll be interested to see how people get on with them. I also like that they have done a 2x12 version. -
I had a few of Mk 1 TRB6. 3 of them were unbelievable, and I have no idea why I sold them. Gutted. There was a black one that was one if the best basses I have played. Idiot 😳🙄

It looks amazing mate, and I have to be honest, the 605 is the one I’d go for. As you say, a lot of bass for under a grand. I’d want something I didn’t have to mess about with, as my Vigier’s will always be my goto basses. As I said to Dave, above, I think I need to find one, try one, and see how I feel. Appreciate your help, and so grad you love yours. Let me know how you feel once you have changed the pre-amp ⭐️

Thank you Dave, for the information. They do look the part, and I bet they feel great but the electronics were always my concern at that price point. Interesting about the ‘B’ string as well. I think I need to try one. Appreciate your input ⭐️

I couldn't be happier with my two Vigier Excess 5 basses, they are truly the best basses I have owned/played, and they will always be my "go to" instruments but, I have huge GAS for a Yamaha TRBX505 and/or 605. I've had 5 Yamaha TRB6 basses over the past 15 years (all gone now), and loved them, but the craving for another Yamaha is rather large. Has anyone played/owned/sold one recently? What did you like about them? What didn't you like about them? If you have sold one, why? I love the look, and I like the fact they have a 34" scale length, unlike the TRB1005J basses. Cure me of my GAS, please.......

This must go, I am no longer using it, and it's just sat in its box. Go on, give it a new home 😉 -
I’ve been looking at Stranberg basses recently, so these really interest me, and especially at the price point indicated earlier in the thread.......

Happy New Year bump ⭐️

Bump for a price reduction. Will sell for £600.00 firm. This is a real deal for a mint conditioned, and powerful / versatile amp. Option to deliver now added.

Please Remove This Ad. SOLD. Thank you ☺️

Decided to keep the amp for my studio. Now just selling the cabinet. Revised post, and price, completed. Cheers.

This ⬆️ I'm in a Prog band, as well as a Metal band, and the difference in rig setups is brilliant. I rehearsed with the Metal band on Sunday and ran a Darkglass M900 through an SVT810 cab. It was pure bliss. It was so loud, clear and simply awe inspiring. The reality is though, it is so impractical. Unless you have a full road crew and storage facility, these cabs are of no use to man nor beast, which is such a shame. Anyway, I totally agree with Lewis, the IEM route is the way things are going, and I will be for my Progressive band even though we have our heavy moments. If that goes well, I'll take it over to the Metal band as well. I will always crave a huge rig though, nothing like it when that air is being pushed 😎

By the way, I am happy to split, and sell both separately. I'd sell the amp for £600.00, and the cab for £500.00. Now added to the post.

Slight change of mind. I have decided to keep the M900 for the studio, and am therefore withdrawing it from sale. I am still selling the DG210C cabinet though. The price is £450.00 firm. These are £900.00 brand new. No trades, no offers, please. I have decided finally, to go down the In-Ear Monitoring route, for gigging. It's been on my mind for a while, and last week, I finally bought an IEM system. I thought about keeping an amp and cabinet set up as well but have decided, that it's just going to sit there, so here I am, selling my rig. I'm selling my DG210C cabinet. This has never be used live and still has the tags attached. I have used it in the house but at low levels. It has been stored in my studio and comes with a brand new Roqsolid cover, which again, I'll throw into the deal. I am very particular about looking after all my gear, and I promise you, there are no marks, scratches, scuffs etc. anywhere to be seen. They are in brand new condition. The cab has never been used live. I don't have the original box for the cab, but I do have a box, which is rather substantial as you can imagine. The cab is located in Penarth, just outside Cardiff. I would prefer collection please, and that way you can try the cab as well. If you can't collect, I will be happy to meet the buyer within a 50-mile radius of Cardiff. Any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thanks in advance, and take care.

Marillion at St.David's Hall in Cardiff on Saturday (16th Nov) & Ghost at The Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff on Sunday (17th Nov). Both utterly brilliant sets by two very different bands. Both know how to put on a show, and both contain wonderfully talented musicians. A weekend of music heaven. I will say, it is so good to see a rock band like Ghost bringing back the big stage production, and genuine entertainment factor to a large stage. The sound for both bands was out of this world, as well.

If you want to hear FISH era songs, go and see The Steve Rothery Band, live. They always cover the FISH era music, and their singer who happens to be in Marillion and Iron Maiden tribute bands, does a fine FISH impersonation. Also, as @AndyTravis mentioned, the superb, and also a good friend, Dave Foster plays 2nd guitar. They put on quite a show.

Thanks for this, appreciated.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😳😉

Hi think the SH1 is in the bag, regardless 😉
-
Ahhhh right. Fair enough. Cheers. I think I’ll now just have to try one for curiosities sake ☺️
-
Are they Indonesian production line basses? Really? I had no idea. Nothing wrong with that by the way, but £2.7k? I was always going to stick with my Vigier basses but I just fancied one of these. Interesting. Thank you ⭐️

I’m a full in Vigier guy, as well as P basses. I’m able to keep my GAS under control. I have 3 basses, that’s it. However, when I saw that Strandberg, my GAS was reignited. However, I saw the price, and the flame died down. I’ll always use my Vigier’s, I just fancied something that was a little different, just because. One day though, we’ll see 😉 It’s great to window shop, on the other hand ☺️
-
I know, but that doesn’t mean that if they had the options at the time, they wouldn’t have gone for it. I bet PM’s collection is pretty diverse now that he has the money 😉
