  1. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1470686832' post='3107704'] I'm a bit stuck for words..... not like me I know..... can't you make do with that scruffy thing at the top? (runs and hides) [/quote] No Jazzes in the 50's Tom [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1470687221' post='3107712'] Phew, easy pay out it was you mate! [/quote] Pleased to be of service John. I assume my match fixing cheque is in the post?
  2. Just wondering who got me in John's "book" that he was running Or did he not give odds on me
  3. Save another £30 and do it properly 4 ohm version to get the most out of a head. https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/TRV102P4OHM/bass-cabs/markbass-trv-102-p-4-ohm-traveller-bass-cabinet?LGWCODE=TRV102P4OHM;56375;6335&gclid=COC8-I_Mss4CFRaeGwodmnUGvg
  4. 2016 Fender Flea Jazz. Not really for sale. Due to a new band I need a 50's style Precision. Hope DamonJames will help me out with a testimonial to this bass. It's one of the very light and good ones IMO. I have cleaned off the mucky film they put on the scratchplates. TRADE REQUIRED REALLY. I would VERY much like to give somebody this bass plus some cash for a splendid conditioned Fender American Vintage 57 Reissue Precision. Preferably Sunburst, but any really.

  5. [quote name='skej21' timestamp='1470567447' post='3106732'] So when you sell it on Wednesday, which bass will be used in the first set next Saturday?! ;-) [/quote] [quote name='Musashimonkey' timestamp='1470575860' post='3106813'] I know what you mean; I had to double check it didn't have a battery in mine! [/quote]
  6. Last night, instead of using the Flea both sets, I used it 1st set and returned to my beloved FSR P/J for the second set. Was quite shocked how much more powerful the Flea pups are . I had to significantly turn up the gain and volume to get back to the sound level I'd had with the Flea in the 1st set. I really was rather surprised.
  7. The one Psychoandy has just put up for sale Mark
  8. Good to know I have a heavy plastic anaemic sound . Epic fail after over 40 years of gigging. I must learn more.
  9. TKS 112's didn't work for me. I found them lacking compared to other 112'S I'd used live. They are a bass cab. I expected them to be versatile, like many other bass cabs. I would love to get a custom specced TKS 212 but after my experience gigging the 2 x 112's, it's not something I really want to spend nearly £700 on. Horses for courses, guess I just like Clydesdales
  10. [quote name='blisters on my fingers' timestamp='1470428956' post='3106004'] Hi Karl The label on rear of the driver is a "proper" Genz Benz logo, and states Model : GEC-12200-8 Impedance 8 ohms Engineered and tested in the USA Manufactured by Eminence Dongguan, P.R.C. Great lightweight quality cabs, very pleased with mine. Like you say will keep up with a very loud drummer [/quote] Damn Andy, you're good Many thanks for that, cheers, Karl.
  11. I've not used the Ashdowns I'm afraid. No idea what the speakers are, except they are ceramic. Not much use am I . There are quite a few testimonials from users on the Bass Direct site. The 112T's were showing at a price of £339 each, so yes, budget for Genz Benz at the time. But for the scuffs and nicks I would have been asking north of £300 for them. They do not come up very often at all. There is the script below (I've culled some of the talk about heads). Quote. "We’d been asking for less expensive cabinets and combos for the European market for some time, and Genz Benz dutifully obliged at this years NAMM. Such was the success of the new ‘FOCUS’ cabinets, Bass Gear Magazine awarded them a ‘Best in Show’ award, one of only 6 awards that they give out at the show. Here is what they [BGM] had to say on their forum: While I was there, however, I did hear both of the 112's together as well as the new Focus cab line. Very impressive. I predict the Focus cab line will be a huge seller. Even though they're not NEO, they're still very light and can really take the juice and pump out the sound. What really blew me away were the Focus cabs. They sounded like they belonged in a much higher price range, and the light weight and form factor was very nice. We ended up giving Genz-Benz one of our six Best of Show Awards for the Focus line of cabs, and I think they totally deserved it." End quote.
  12. 2 x 112's are strange creatures. I had 2 TKS 112'S and although the sound was lovely, I REALLY had to drive an amp a lot harder to get anything like volume out of those cabs. Our drummer always has snare and kick mic'd up. Both guitards use Blackstar heads with 212's. Never had any problem with 2 x 112's by Berg, Vanderkley or Genz Benz, especially without pa support. Try as much as you can.
  13. Hmm surprisingly only two messages regarding these splendid, light weight, powerful well made cabs. They are replied to. Over to you ED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urvdCExs2kI
  14. Thanks chaps. The new owner was delighted with it last night Think he was also delighted with getting it for £325
  15. [quote name='TimAl' timestamp='1470301248' post='3104833'] Thanks Mykesbass - I think this could be very interesting as I know of Band Scrims but mine will be easily fixable & removable plus you can upload your own artwork online once I get the website up-n-running. Here's a pic of what I'm currently testing - excuse the in-yer-face graphics but the object was to make it stand out [/quote] Hmmm, might just keep my Genzs with you coming up with this cunning plan.
  16. Lost count of how many times I've seen them. Just wonderful.
  17. [quote name='Bassman666' timestamp='1470336677' post='3105302'] Is that a flea sig jazz? Took delivery of mine today,very nice indeed! Have a off topic bump [/quote] Thank you, enjoy yours [quote name='andybassdoyle' timestamp='1470337370' post='3105310'] I'm sure I used a focus 2x10 for a while a year or two back. Really good for the money I think. These look to be a bit of a bargantino and not at all tatty! [/quote] Thanks Andy, sorry, I'm always a little critical of condition of my gear. Only going because a new project demands something vintage looking (as in cloth fronted). Suppose a Barefaced will suffice
  18. I've been trying to get a B/F vintage style cab, now got one These excellent light weight bass cabs are up for sale. There will be a video (no 2 ) on the following link.

  19. Cheers Martyn, that's 4 telling me it's a £900 + new REX. The [s]song[/s] price remains the same
  20. Cheers Martyn, much appreciated. Looks like I might have got a bit of a bargain, so happy to spread the love
  21. Thanks chaps. Damon, thanks for that. I've advertised it elsewhere and a nice chap has put a message up that it is in fact a REX and they are over £900. Apparently this has the slightly different shape and pick ups , of a REX. I DON'T KNOW, but I've put a post up asking for expert advice, in the GEAR section. Whatever happens, the price will not be going up, even if it is the more expensive REX. Damon, you know where I am EDIT, another guy has just chipped in, quote "that's a REX signature dude"
  22. I took the following Spector in part ex for an expensive Warwick. The really nice guy owner told me it was a Legend 4X Holoflash. I've put it up for sale (my subs are fully paid) at a touch less than I gave him in part ex against the Warwick.. Somebody on another forum has told me it's actually a REX and worth a good bit more than I have it out for. I'M NOT LOOKING FOR; a valuation or hiking the price up. It stays at the price it's out at. What I would like to know is how to identify if it's a REX or a LEGEND, so I can advertise it correctly. Shoulda stuck to Fenders. Please help a confused old geezer Somebody else on the other forum, quote "that's a REX signature dude".
