[quote name='Mike' post='123718' date='Jan 20 2008, 11:21 AM']Great. There's one bargain I've been watching for week gone then.[/quote] +1. just deleted it from my watch list..........

What a hell of a nice guy. As Pete's official string supplier we have met up a couple of times. We would probably still be chewing the fat now if prior commitments hadn't got in the way. Hope to see you again soon Mr Thumbs. Cheers, Stuart

[quote name='markytbass' post='20855' date='Jun 20 2007, 03:50 PM']I had the same problem with their flatwounds, The A-D-G were not too bad but the E was awful like playin a piece of wool. I complained and a few e-mails later they agreed to send me some new sets if I sent the E strings back (after all these were what I was complaining about). They sent me some new ones but these were just as bad. They also told me that no one else had had a problem with their flatwounds, seems like they were wrong. I won't be wasting my money on them again I have gone back to Rotosound flats on my Yamaha and am getting some Rotosound Tru Bass for my cort.[/quote] +1 for the deadness. The E string is awful. Gave them a call and they sent a new E String + a complete new set. Both of those E's were crap as well. Chucked them away and put it down to experience. Will stick with TI's, La Bella or Rotosound flats in the future.

[quote name='bigd1' post='119754' date='Jan 13 2008, 08:15 PM']What I was really after was opinions on the sound. Those of you who use light weight gear is it a compromise of weight for sound. As I said before I like a old sound, big & wide, can I get this with light stuff or is that asking just to much. BIGd[/quote] BIGd, I am like you regarding sound. I use a LMK2 and leave the eq settings at 12 O' Clock. Any "tweaking" can be done with the 2 filters. MB Amps are very clean and let the sound of the Bass come through. I am currently using it with a 1x15 neo and had a chance of listening to someone else using the rig, (and Bass), from the audience at a recent gig. Sounded great. Am about to move to an even more lightweight Cab solution.

Hi Nathan, I can recommend the MarkBass. Simple and very powerful. I don't even use any eq with mine just use the 2 filters. I am hoping my 2 lightweight cabs from Mike Walsh, (The Bass Merchant), will be with me this week. If so I will put a review up and it may be something else to consider. I believe it will stack up very well against the 2 cabs mentioned.

A Result. Mike phoned this morning. Not overly impressed with his "assistants" who have been looking after business whilst he was unwell. 21 phone messages to deal with and he has changed ISP so new e-mail address is [email protected] So hopefully cabs will be on their way next week. Will post a review as soon as I have them in my hot sweaty mitts. Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks all for your views however: a) If there is someone looking after the shop, I would expect a call in reponse to the messages I left. Even to say they haven't a clue about the cabs and Mike is away. I started e-mailing just before Xmas, (not up to a call as I was laid up with this sh*t of a cold that is flying round), so Mike wouldn't have been at NAMM then. Cheers, Stuart

Hi All, Have been trying to get hold of Mike at The Bass Merchant for a while to check on progress of the Cabs he is building for me. They were supposed to be ready before Xmas. Have sent 3 e-mails that have not had a reply and tried to phone a couple of times and keep getting the answering machine. Anyone able to shed any light on the situation down there? Cheers, Stuart

If you can get to Leyland, I would recommend Nick Carey. He can pick up from the station. Cheers, Stuart
