  1. Lovely bass. Is it German made? The Bassbros link doesn't work now it seems.
  2. Do you mean that the laminate stripes are painted and the headstock front had a real veneer applied later?
  3. Congratulations (bargain price). Now just add "sold" to thread title to close it. Cheers.
  4. Would you like me to add the photo that you sent via PM to this thread?
  5. Thank you, but you should post photos into this thread.
  6. Agreed; I even thought of buying it. Considering the price and almost 2 year lead-time for new, this is a no brainer for someone wanting a Roadie Active.
  7. I've not see that photo before. Really interesting as it shows how the pickup positions vary with reference to the bridge. This means that all four formats will have tonal differences even if identical woods were used.
  8. Yes, you are correct. I'm more concerned about mine now. Lol.
  9. This was it, started as fretted.
  10. I have to admit that I'm allowing myself to get a little excited now.
  11. You could well be right. The one at Bass Bros is also a refurb with faux laminate finish.
  12. 'tis done, replaced the chrome with black.
  13. Quite a few Markbass users combine a 210 and 115 and are very happy with the result. Sometimes combining different speaker configurations works and other times it doesn't.
  14. When I spoke to Andrew initially I asked what would potentially be the lightest weight twin pickup active version. He recommended a Series 3 Roadie Active as has been mentioned earlier, the exotic woods can add weight. I've gone for a faux laminate finish similar to below, so it's all mahogany with gold hardware which I think will look beautiful with the cherry.
  15. Andrew has just sent me a photo of my Roadie Active :-
  16. Those VLE and VPF filters look set a bit high though. I know Warwicks have plenty of mids but I'd still have the VPF around 9 o'clock for starters.
  17. My Roadie Active has been imminent for a few weeks now. It was ordered in May 2021 I hoped in time for my 60th in November 2022. Oh well, patience is a virtue apparently. 😊
  18. If the BQ500 is genuinely 500 watts RMS at 4 ohms then that will be a killer match for two RS112 cabs. The Micro VR is a great amp but has its limits.
  19. That rig should handle just about any sensible gig. Congratulations.
  20. Yoiks!! If you don't post proof of purchase soonish I'm calling Social Services.
