Thanks for all your suggestions folks. I ended up buying the lot for 60 pounds, as the cab has some problems. The sound comes out very weak and distorted, nothing that a bit of solder won't fix, I think... Tried the amp through a marshall cab, definitely not a hi-fi amp, but that's not what i'm after. Two channels plus mixture of the two, plenty eq several other potentially useful switches and knobs, i'm happy. I'm picking it up tomorrow, and i'm thinking of maybe selling/giving away the cab right away, as i think it might be just too big for me. Not sure yet. Thanks again for your thoughts!

[quote name='Musky' post='541975' date='Jul 16 2009, 09:49 AM']The only reason I wouldn't consider one is the thought of trying to shift that 2x15 about.[/quote] That is also my concern. If the head is nice enough, I might keep it, sell/give away/dismantle/burn the cab and start looking for something like a lightweight 2x12 or so...

Hello folks, I'm looking to try and possibly buy [url="http://edinburgh.gumtree.com/edinburgh/01/41660001.html"]this[/url], what do you people think? I was looking for an alternative to my hartke kickback combo for larger (or louder) gigs, but i am worried that this might be too heavy to carry up a few flights of stairs... However, the price is tempting, and i think it would go really well with my recently-acquired-here T-40... Incidentally, if any of you recognises the cab, please let me know. Cheers, Marco

My only personal experience in mis-pricing on label was last year at gatwick airport, where i spotted a small laptop i've been looking up online for some time, priced at about 75% of its RRP (£211 vs £275 RRP). I quickly picked it up and broguht it to the till, where the guy told me that the total was the full £275. I told him that he had it labelled at £211, we went to the stand where the label was, checked serial numbers against the one i picked up, and agreed that that was indeed the advertised price for the item, and charged me accordingly. Obvious pricing mistake and a nice £64 pounds saved. I bet he would have been far less forthcoming, had price difference been a lot more substantial, such as is the case of the lovely P bass in question. Again, another anecdote that doesn't prove anything, but at least it's firsthand experience...

another 8 from me, bringing the total up to 1820

[quote name='Hot Tub' post='535824' date='Jul 8 2009, 04:46 PM']Used to be a good place on the outskirts of Edinburger called The Spider's Web. [/quote] It's still there, I don't know if they still do live bands. It's rather central, fortunately

Try [url="http://www.remotegoat.co.uk/venue_view.php?uid=1820"]Studio24[/url], haven't been there in quite some time, but they do have live metal and punk bands

Thank you all for your recommendations, with any luck the sun will shine and i will be too busy lazying about to even think about bass shopping

Hello Folks So i'll be in Miami for work and then holiday for a couple of weeks. It's the storm season, so i expect to have some time off from lying on the beach (tough, I know, but hey...), and was wondering if anyone knew of some interesting music gear shop in the area... I'm not looking to buy anything in particular, but you never know, with this weaker dollar an'all... Any recommendations welcome :-)

I agree, i've bought stuff from them, and regularly visit their shop to try out stuff. Very nice and helpful staff, good prices, pretty good selection of gear on display. Recommended

According to their [url="http://www.westfieldguitar.co.uk/westfield/info_about.asp"]website[/url] , westfields are made in bonny east kilbride near glasgow. They also make sheridan, lauren and boston brands.

There's an epi explorer bass for sale on edinburgh gumtree, not sure if it's cheap or not... [url="http://edinburgh.gumtree.com/edinburgh/50/38504650.html"]link[/url] Never played one, don't know what to expect And by the way, first post :-)

Greetings everybody, Name's Marco, I'm an italian living in Edinburgh and I love playing bass. I'm self-taught and not particularly good, but i've been playing for quite a few years, largely rock/new wave/punk kind of stuff. For some reason I stopped playing when I moved to Edinburgh in 2001, but after a couple of years in the limbo, I realized that what i was missing was playing bass in a band. Within a few days I armed myself with some new gear and joined a local cover band :-) I love looking for unusual, good quality and inexpensive gear, mainly because i love hunting for the undiscovered gem... Current gear: Fender Aerodyne prec, MIJ a few years ago Schecter CV4, bought cheaply as backup, but a real surprise! Westone Thunder 1A, MIJ '83 Epiphone EB0, bought as a joke from a pawn shop and now used extensively Ibanez SR800 LE, an early soundgear that I bought as a 16 year old, when soundgears where still new... A no-name acoustic, rarely used All played through a Hartke Kickback 120, or a Hartke VXL Bass Attack if I can't be bothered to carry the combo. Cheers, Marco
