I was thinking that as well but I thought it would now be quieter but it isn't

That is it. Its exactly the same. As I said, I've used mine to support a big beast of a Behringer BA410 which is a mighty 45.4kg. Must be lined with lead or something. The stand has never let me down. Been chucked around as well.

I think most people on here use Roqsolid cos they're ace. I'll be receiving my 4th one tomorrow. Some have had good service some bad from Silverstone but I can;t recall a bad word being said against Roqsolid

I recently fitted a Seymour Duncan [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/custom-shop/bass-2/single_coilstac/"]Stack for Single Coil[/url] pickup to my Warmoth. There's no actual wiring diagram on the site so I used the one for the [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=jazz_bass_stacks"]Jazz Bass Stacks[/url] pickup. I soldered the red and white together and taped them with electrical tape, then off to the gig I went. I had quite a bit of hum that went away when I touched the strings, bridge, knobs etc so I knew it was a grounding issue. After quite a bit of looking around during the week and checking wiring I took the tape off the soldered together red and white wires and held them onto the volume pot and the hum went away so I've now got them soldered onto the pot and I am now hum free. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with the pickup that I needed to do that but when I put my thumb and index finger either end of the pickup, the hum returns then goes away when I take my fingers away. My EMG 35HZs are humbuckers with the 4 wires and I wired them up no problem but then again there are 2 of them on the Thunderbird so not sure if that makes a difference or not

Its a Giraffe one but last time I looked they had gone out of business. It folds up completely flat and I've had it a good few years now. Had everything from this at 15kg to 45kg 4x10"s on it

Insurance is only valid if the bass is in a hard case.

I would get in touch with Thomann to see if they could do you a 3 pin plug gratis before you go buying something as they are set up to cater for customers in the UK. My Gallien MB210 combo arrived from Soundslive this week with a 2 pin plug so a quick email and they had a 3 pin one out to me the next day.

This is my cab [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/155700-laney-nexus-nx115-1x15-cab-celestion-neo-400w-8ohms/"]here[/url] and the driver in it makes it really good for dirty and slightly dirty amps. It was amazing with my Gallien head and I've used a Terror bass through several cabs so I think this would work very well. Plus I've used this cab as a monitor for small to medium sized gigs with no PA and its been great.

If you can get TI flats to work on that bridge then go for those. I had a standard fretless stingray and had a fantastic sound with those. I don't go for the nasally fretless tone and in all honesty my tone on a fretless sounds like me playing a fretted which is why I gave playing fretless. The 30th is a growly beast but calming the EQ down a bit and fitting TIs will mellow it out a bit

I love the wenge neck on mine. If it starts to get sticky or slow feeling, a quick rub along it with 000 grade steel wool and its nice and slippery again

Check out one of the MB combo threads on Talkbass. I'm pretty sure there are double bass guys on there using the MB112 and MB115. I checked out all of them before going for the MB210

I considered these cabs along with the Laney Nexus 1x15". On paper the Laney was the better cab in almost every way and I'm pretty sure that after using it for the past 9 months it is. Incidentally I have it for sale, purely cos I want a matching cab for my GK MB210

Here's the [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hipshot-2-Point-SuperTone-Bass-Bridge-Gibson-CHROME-/330619263918?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4cfa719bae"]2 point Hipshot[/url] but personally I don't think its worth it as it only fits older Gibsons so if you sell the bass then you're unlikely to find a buyer for the bridge very easily. I'd just fire a normal Fender bridge on there.

its more to do with the different properties of the valves so that you can turn your amp up louder without getting the overdrive or some prefer to have it at lower volume ie we're not talking about a dozen different 12AX7 valves by different manufacturers which will still probably be slightly different, we're talking about substituting a 12AX7 for a 12AU7.
