A lot of the fun of finding what suits you is to buy, try and sell if you don't like it. Buy something second hand so you won't lose anything if you don't like it. Almost anything can be posted if your buyer lives too far away to collect so i wouldn't worry too much about that. I've posted everything from pickups to a 45kg trace combo. If you want warm and the ability to push it into overdrive then either something like the trace combo I am selling or a BassTerror as they have 2 valves in them - not that you need valves. Both Gallien amps I have had were very warm amps that can be pushed into mild overdrive despite not having valves due to a special circuit in them. I'm going to be gigging my new Hartke LH500 tonight. This is based on the Fender Bassman preamp with one valve coupled with a solid state amp so we'll see how that goes tonight. I almost bought one of the UK made Ashdown MAG600 heads that Soundslive are doing just because they are so cheap and UK made (not sure if that is necessarily better) I was also looking at the Kustom DE300 head that Thomann does but couldn't find enough information about them to purchase

My new rig is now complete i won't be able to gig it tonight as I'm waiting for a protective cover for the cab and I need to order a trolley for moving it up and down stairs. I'll probably use the amp and take my trace 1518 tonight

In case anyone's interested, I went with the hartke.Bought itfrom the classifieds here and just waiting for it to arrive. Merton's bound to think I'm stalking him cos I'm selling the trace v-type combo he used to own and have gone with the amp he replaced it with as well. I did win a watch though with my cab - because of the weather, the mag 810 I bought couldn;t be collected by their courier so they had ashdown send one directly and instead of getting one of the older ones with the blue speakers, I got one of the new Evo II ones

my return key really has stopped working

richard stilgoe's wheelbarrow full of milk. The Matt alan ensemble. Rameses niblick III. Where's my thribble. It was like that when I got here. My return key's stopped working. can I have a pee please bob. I've not got much money but my granny's got piles.

be careful of the ones where the wheels fold in as well - they tend to do it when you're transporting stuff. I'm going to get myself a stair climber jobby for my 8x10" cos its a beast

Had them about 6 months now and they're still as good as they were when i bought them. really tough and the handles are nice and padded for comfort I've just bought another one for my incoming hartke lh500.

[quote name='hagguy' post='710337' date='Jan 12 2010, 05:54 PM']let me know if they are any good? you get rid of your trace combo yet?[/quote] Its on ebay and there's a lot of interest but no bidders yet.

fretfx are the way forward. the other ones aren't meant to be very good. I should receive my set from fretfx in the next week or two for my bass.

I could tempted for trades for something interesting since most people are skint at this time of year. Possibly an Epiphone thunderbird or EB-3 or one of those bright green Dean basses.

I have just put my Trace V-type combo and series 6 1518 cab on Ebay due to an incoming Ashdown MAG 8x10" and Hartke LH500. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140373243797&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url] [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140373246820&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...=STRK:MESELX:IT[/url] They are listed at less than what I would like for them in the hope that they generate a bidding war towards the end ( I can but hope ) but if anyone is interested in either or both, please PM me. This is providing that there are no bids on them as i wouldn't want to end an item where there are people bidding.

The drummer in my band teaches drums as well and he was telling me that they don't teach drums left handed anymore. I'm another lefty playing righty after I saw Mike Reid on saturday superstore. was 'playing' my brother's badminton racket left handed up until then. thought I was doing it wrong when I saw this so swapped to righty. Personally, i think I need more dexterity in my left hand when playing. something like Billy Jean in F# gets my left hand hurting but my right hand is fine

you need this for sale by me and full of valvey solid-state goodness. you could add the series 6 1518 cab that I am selling as well for even more of that lovely valve sound

These string through the body so you'd be looking for something like a Badass III, One of the new Fender jobbies, possibly the Gotoh 203 but I can;t remember off the top of my head. Wilkinson also do one tht looks similar but allows you to set the intonation on each string The Fender pickup is quite good. i used a quarter pounder on my Gold warmoth bass but the daddy is the Lollar one but that's quite expensive in the grand scheme of things but its very very good. I have a lollar in my split coil Pbass

I've just bought an 8x10" cab and want to go for the rawk look

Does anyone know where I could get something like this: Looking for something like this to fit a standard 2u rack size bass head. I used to have an HA5500 with the sleeve round it but it fitted into it without rack ears. i would buy one of the Kustom ones but have no idea who would sell them and would like to be able to take the Kustom badge off it since I don;t have a Kustom amp

I'm still looking for amp ideas and thought I'd see if anyone had any first hand experience with one of these? [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/kustomgroove.html"]http://www.jhs.co.uk/kustomgroove.html[/url] They certainly look the part

I've used an amp stand for years Means I can have it pointed right at my lugs and am able to point it away from my other band members so that its not too loud in their direction - although that's not going to be so easy now that i have an 8x10"
