My new rig. 1000w goodness into two three-way cabs.

I read recently from a shop owner that QC has improved following the relocation of manufacture to Indonesia. I have owned Indonesian and Italian made Markbass amplification and can't say I've seen any drop in quality.

[quote name='kumimajava' timestamp='1498148074' post='3322816'] Just out of curiosity, a question to anyone who's played the Mk2: how comfy is the access to the highest frets (22nd-24th)? [/quote] Not very, actually, as the cut out is only really at the front of the cutaway. You'll see what I mean in the picture below. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1498213675' post='3323146'] Not a massive fan of the MK2 shape myself. I think MK1 for four string and MK3 for fives and sixes [/quote] I agree. Having owned many Wals of all three versions, a well balanced (i.e. no neck dive) and not too heavy MKI wins for 4s, and I'd go MKIII every time for a 5 or 6.

I sold Jason some patch cables. A simple, speedy transaction with quick payment and great comms. He's a good 'un!

I sold a PT Nano to Graham. Great comms and quick payment on a simple transaction. Very happy

I bought a Mooer Baby Tuner from Pete. Great comms on a simple transaction. Very happy

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1497648387' post='3319855'] Yeah, it's fab. Love that fat, warm west-coast sound. [/quote] Yes, that Pete Asher/Andrew Gold fulcrum really delivered on her mid 70s albums.

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1497602093' post='3319343'] The Hiscox is just a tiny bit too short. [/quote] They make a larger version which, by coincidence, is teardrop shaped. Internal guitar case dimensions: Length 1245mm 49 " Lower Bout 393mm 15 1/2" Upper Bout 337mm 13 1/4" Body Length 558mm 22 " Body Depth 70mm 2 3/4"

I've never seen a Hiscox with a proper padded interior: they all seem to be a semi-rigid foam with a crushed velvet like fabric, augmented with upholstered pads?

Plus not sure my bass would fit! [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1497516038' post='3318736'] [url="http://www.eaglemusicshop.com/prod/guitar-hard-cases/Hiscox-STD-EBP.htm"]http://www.eaglemusi...cox-STD-EBP.htm[/url] Brilliant cases...[/quote] Yep, Hiscox are great, I just fancy something with a plush lining rather than their pads. [quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1497517689' post='3318755'] Not exactly "tear drop". But not far off. But it bumped your thread. [/quote] Yes, that's nice, and the shape's fine too. My bass is a singlecut though, so wouldn't fit in that.

LOL. What did you have? I can't find anything in the UK.

Hello all Anyone know where I can get something like this in the UK? Cheers Gareth

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1497371254' post='3317636'] Me [/quote] LOL, I thought Cuzzie was talking about another power supply!

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1497367723' post='3317599'] As Damny says DC5 and also Al K [/quote] Sorry, what's AI K?

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1497363443' post='3317544'] Which PT are you going for? [/quote] Metro 16 I think. Chorus, Overdrive, Compressor, Tuner and Providence Dual Bass Station.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1497358012' post='3317503'] I suppose so, it's a bit cheaper, although for a bit more the DC5 does give you more juice and an 18V option in around the same footprint, should you find your board expanding in future! Hotrox is the best place I know to get em btw, they stock all the accessory cables too: [url="http://www.hotroxuk.com/guitar-fx-pedals-dunlop-ehx-fulltone-hot-rox-uk/cioks-power-supplies.html"]http://www.hotroxuk....r-supplies.html[/url] [/quote] Thanks again. While I am sure there will be a temptation to expand, for now I think the Adam will do just fine

Presumably I could also use the Cioks "Adam" and daisy chain two of the 9Vs?
