Am only wondering as both options have become available and are equally cheap and I have a few extra quid this weekend. Probably wont move on either of them, but ponderin's what I do!

Kim Deal, Paul Siminon, Jerry Only, Dee Dee Ramone, Klaus Flouride, Steve Harris' Jason Newsted, Mike McKeegan, Tina Weymouth, Mark Hoppus, Matt Freeman, Fat Mike, Matt Sharp, Peter Hook, Mani, Simon Gallup, JMJ Chronological order I do believe Dont ask me who the biggest influence was. Though my playing styles are quite reflective of my influences, I reckon. Just always knew I wanted to be a bass player!

Anyone any thoughts on these?

Great review. I have 2 of these bad boys, driven by the VBA400 and while the size and weight won´t impress the class-d/lghtweight fanboys´ (or most people´s) backs, the sound cannot be argued with. Pure, big-air moving, bass-goodness! After getting the halfstack, I HAD to get a second VBC412! I got lucky in finding a second one for very little money. Nothing says rock and roll/big ego ( ) like a Marshall stack! My only problem is that I´m not a big lad, so shifting it could be a pain, but I do have a drummer and a roadie who are both fit and healthy, so stacking it isnt really that much of an issue I also have an Ampeg SVT 4PRO and 610HLF-which I have wanted since day 1 of playing, but the Marshall just has the edge. Anyone considering these cabs-stop considering and start buying! Your back may not thank you, but your ears will

I am totally GAS free but would never say no to another 70´s Precision-Black/Black/Maple Will most likely be aiming for a Squer VM Jag too though.

I´ve had the Mike Dirnt sig (I still technically own one-it´s on loan). Its black with white pickguard. Loved the sound of it originally, but always wanted the Mark Hoppus P Bass sound, so popped in a set of Duncan SPB3´s-giving me best of both models (i figured). Killer tone and fab 50´s looks, whats not to love?! It was my main bass for ages (never gigged my Geddy Lee) Unfortunately, my dream bass came along (Pink Mark Hoppus sig P Bass) and it moved further down the order of preference. Of the two, I much prefer the Mark Hoppus sig as its much lighter and the natural sound of it is amazing. No tweaking or anything required and with only one volume knob in lieu of controls, it really is plug and play! And that snappy killer sound, no other bass sounds like it. and its pink!!! Anyways, I don´t mind the idea of sig basses, as long as the bass sounds good, who really cares? I dont think the prices are too good, but cant do much about that.

Traded my Ray yerterday for... Predictably, another late 70's (78 or 79?-I'm not quite sure) Precision. Lovely looking and sounding bass. Just ran it through the Ampeg rig and the Marshall rig and it sounds big and fat and raw and, well, like a Precision should. The neck profile is nice too. easy to move around on, but obviously a P neck-feels almost identical to my other two,but a fraction thinner I suppose. It doesnt weigh as much as my Oly white 78-roughly the same as my Siennaburst 78 (maybe a tad lighter). There are a few dings, scuffs and a spot or two of bare wood-mostly on the contour, but thats just mojo, isn't it? Its also the first EVER Precision I've owned with a maple board and I love it Came with original hardcase, which is immaculate. Going to gig it next weeked, with a view to it being me new beater. I'm very happy with it and will defiantely be GAS free for ANYTHING for a long time.

Just found one over here for 70 euros. pots are scratchy so will need a clean and I will probably have to pay for a courier as I cant get up there. But I think Im getting a good deal. Does anyone know anything about them? opinions? I know its 150W, 15" driver and US built, but thats all.

Have and do play a pink Fender. Its the Mark Hoppus sig. Never been chatted up by a leather-capped chap after a gig using it, but have been by plenty of blondes (most of them female too) Guess it depends on the gig and the venue. Its a classic colour and the test of a real bass player!!! also the Hoppus is the best sounding stock mex Fender ever built. FACT!!!

Hi I´ve got a boss Dr550 that I got as a part exchange last weekend. Box and manual. I would let it go for 75 ono (seems to be what they go for on t´bay). Cheers, Col

Had to add to this. Just paired my Ampeg 610HLF with my Trace Elliot 1524 (2x15)-all powered via my Ampeg SVT 4 PRO (dual mono mode). Result: Insanity!!! Have not heard anything like that before! So much bass it made the windows shake violently.seriously, and that was only at about 9 o clock volume AND gain! If I was ever to play a huge stadium-that would be up there with my VBA400 full stack-tough choice!!! If its a choice of one, go with the SVT610HLF-resale on these is great and they are by far some of the best cabs on the market. And they seriously contend with the 8x10´s!
