The finish is incredibly hard wearing and has proven far more durable than the tolex-covered Marshall and Engl rigs of our guitarists.

Bought a Mooer Picthbox off Shep, fantastic service, comms and delivery, cheers! Top class fella

Mind you, this guitarist was stupidly, painfully loud, and I'd never expect a 140 watt bass amp through a 2x12" to compete with a guitar amp of twice the power through twice the cone area. With the more reasonable guitarists in my band, it does a fine job. [/quote] Aha, yes my guitarist is generally quite sensible with his volume control, a rare breed indeed

If you have a very sensitive cab the MB200 can keep up with a Mode 4 no problem, mine has done on several occasions (Barefaced Vintage and S12...)

Nice basses! I have a seafoam green Status Shark, it's a great colour

We used [url="http://www.awesomemerchandise.com"]www.awesomemerchandise.com[/url] for ours

The Fusion is "warmer" and more organic sounding because of the valves in the preamp, and it has a second "overdrive" channel which I LOVE! I tend to run it flat but with the Deep boost engaged, it sounds absolutely spit on. The Mb200 is a bit more clinical in comparison and when pushed you get a nice musical limiter into the mix. Obviously the Fusion has more headroom do not yet found the limiter on it! Hope that helps

[quote name='guitarjong' timestamp='1349387716' post='1825808'] I'm near Newark, Notts. [/quote] Ah poop, bit far for me to lend my MB200 to you for a trial run!

My MB200 is being used as a monitor amp at gigs at the mo, whilst ours in monitor power amp gets fixed. Does a bloody good job too! Whereabouts are you based?

Put it this way- if money and space were no object I'd never have sold mine...

[quote name='kennyrodg' timestamp='1349381564' post='1825655'] Cheers Dude. [/quote] No prob. You thinking of the one in the FS section? Go for it!

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1349341492' post='1824837'] Never. That level of authenticity is for tribute bands not cover bands. You'll never sound like the original so just sound like you. My brain isn't big enough to remember all the notes in the right places so the band gets my take on the number. Sometimes its close other times it's not. It doesn't matter because we've all got a spark of originality and are just a bunch of guys playing a number, in our own way. [/quote] This. Some of my lines are totally different from the original as we play it with a different feel, some are pretty close (or sacred!)

One of my favourite heads ever, leave everything flat and crank it up and you'll grin from ear to ear. Only replaced it with a GK MB Fusion for practicality - which is a bit of a daft comment coz the WT550 is hardly big or heavy! Edit: I play in a wedding/function band too, the Eden was amazingly versatile without needing to actually DO anything. Just tweak your playing style and te sound will be there.

[quote name='guitarjong' timestamp='1349301373' post='1824605'] Merton, which GK do you have? The MB200 or bigger? What cab do you put it through? [/quote] I have the MB200 and the MB Fusion, I was only commenting ont he MB200 for this thread though Cab is a Barefaced Supter 12T, though I have used it with a Zoot 1x12 on a couple of gigs and it's been fine then too.

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1349230553' post='1823680'] It's not the least bit unusual for a start-up company to find itself unable to keep up with the demand once the word gets out. If Alex was still taking full payment rather than just a deposit you'd have some valid concern. Since he isn't he's not I'd be patient, good things come to those who wait. [/quote] This. Alex hasn't got a bad bone in his body too, really wouldn't be concerned by this, it's just they're so busy!

Sold an sfx Burninator to Paul, wonderful easy transaction Enjoy the pedal sir!

I love the GK! Mine is silent as a very quiet thing, and surprisingly loud

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1349214937' post='1823561'] I wouldn't want to be in a band with anyone who uses [i]there [/i]where they should be using [i]their[/i]. P [/quote] This

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1349176276' post='1822714'] I just need the rehash of the "[i]Setting Up Compressors for Dummies[/i]" as once again my brain went into melt down [/quote] It's got something to do with using one control knob only, I'm sure.

All sorted now, thanks guys. I'm depping the gig to ... myself ... because the remaining band members won't let me out and I have totally ballsed up the logistics wrt van driving and insurance Needless to say I'm not very popular with a few people now... But good to know so many of you know the songs! Cheers
