Mine arrived today, utterly love it already

Got it, love it

You will be aware of this by the buzzing, farty noise it starts to make. [*]The speaker coil will melt. You will hear nasty crackling noises and a very reduced volume. [*]Smoke will start to escape from the amp as the output transformer drives into a load it can't handle. Silence will soon follow. [/list] Best avoided! ficelles[/quote] Bollocks, unless you push everything too hard.

Most intriguing... Looks tiny. Still, not gonna sway me from my MB200 which is but a few days away I'm told

Looks like one which has failed to sell on ebay over the last few months

My first bass was the Stage Series Jazz, still got it, though the PUps are replaced with Schallers. I also have an exact copy of this one but it's in pieces whilst I find the time to do something with it. I have a decent solid wood body from a (70s?) Kay P copy which I am hoping to attach tot eh Vester's neck (the Kay's neck is more like a banana) but the pair of them have been disassembled for nigh on 3 years now..... Not a bad find for £25, even with the pylwood body! A decent set up (and poss a swap of the PUps and pots) and you have a decent sounding and playing bass for not much

I have this on my iPad and it's great! Perfect for "silent" home song learning Gonna start taking it to lessons as well (with little powered speaker thing), instead of lugging an amp around.

RIP Jet

I have a spare Hiscox liteflite case which has been fine on flights before. Junction 8 M25 if you want to borrow it

Here's my latest addition to the fold: Gotta say, I love it! It's not had any gig or rehearsal time yet but just from home noodling and taking it to lessons as my teaching bass yesterday, it feels fantastic. Couldn't resist when I saw it on fleabay...

[quote name='lemmywinks' post='1163493' date='Mar 15 2011, 06:46 PM']Just for a bit of balance, i had one (the old carpet covered 100 watter) and really didn't like it! Decent enough for the money but the sound wasn't to my taste and it never seemed capable of delivering volume without being pushed too hard. Eventually crapped out and wouldn't stop blowing fuses so i swapped it for a black Big Muff. I tried one of the later ones at a gig and that actully seemed quiter[/quote] [quote name='wotnwhy' post='1163506' date='Mar 15 2011, 06:55 PM']For more balance, my first combo was a Commando 15. Sound was good on it's own, but i found it was totally lost in a band setting. Got a Peavey 115 after that, found it miles better in a gigging situation.[/quote] The 150W I found to be more punchy than the 100W version i still have, but I would agree that the 100W ones certainly lacked enough oomph for anything but the quietest of gigs. They still sound nice though (IMO, at volumes before breakup )

Lovely sounding combo I have the original 100W version, love it!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1162569' date='Mar 14 2011, 11:14 PM']The MB112 combo was available from Thomann but last time I looked they'd sold out. [url="http://www.gear4music.com/search/mb112/filters=d:"]Gear4Music[/url], look like they've got them for £30 more[/quote] Aye, that be the combo, not the cab Soundslive expect more MB200 heads in 4-5 weeks. So my wait continues

[quote name='Mr Bassman' post='1162286' date='Mar 14 2011, 08:13 PM']I got mine from [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Gallien-Krueger-MB200-Bass-Amp-Head~ID~14131.asp"]Soundslive[/url] a couple of days after ordering.[/quote] Cheers, will have a look! Re. the MB112, if you're referring to the cab it's not happening now apparently, so say Polar....

I've had an MB200 on order since December, hoping it'll arrive soon, even more so hearing your report Thom

Ooh, found it. Is it getting good reviews on TB then? Looks like their answer to things like the Big One and fEarful type designs which are springing up

I've halved my stored stuff, still embarrassingly high at around 20MB but from now on I'll stick everything on my band's site and link from there

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1158519' date='Mar 11 2011, 07:43 PM']Mmmm guess not [/quote] No idea what it is... Linky? Intrigued, certainly

Get a second 1153, that will sound monster. And be smaller

Just sold Paul my old beaten up Groove bass, 'twas a pleasure. Cheers Paul, enjoy the bass

Apologies if there's already a feedback thread for Adam (also known as ___---___ ) but I can't find one as the search feature doesn't like his forum name, haha! Sold him an Epifani UL110 and it was a fantastially easy transaction, many thanks! Enjoy the cab dude

[quote name='___---___' post='1155033' date='Mar 9 2011, 10:36 AM']Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated.[/quote] Hehe It shipped today Adam, about to PM you tracking number

[quote name='coasterbass' post='1154900' date='Mar 9 2011, 08:26 AM']Wow - just saw this on the tin'ternet too. Very sad news. Dirt came out just as I picked up the bass, and then I was blown away when I discovered Facelift. Still two of my favourite albums.[/quote] +1 to all of that. Damn shame
