Reason im selling the RH450 is to many options and bells & whistles – I like a vintage tone with minimal options (basic gain, bass, middle, treble and volume) and ability to get a bit of valve type grit.[/color][/font][/size]

Resurecting an old thread after my second MBL purchase. Went down on saturday morning to have a look at the Ashdown VS212 cab Drew had on his website. As usual there was a stunning variety of basses hanging from the walls (a lot more amps/cabs/combos this time too). I mentioned by interest in the '74 P bass id seen on their site also and was immediately hooked up with the P bass thru the Ashdown cab. Had a good noodle and a good chat about all things bass over the MBL's usual great coffee. Left with the Ashdown cab and now serious GAS for that there P bass! After my second visit it just reaffirms what i already knew - anyone in the area should book into this magical place!

Marek bought a pre-amp valve from me in a smooth effortless transaction

Hot Covers for me. Do like Roqsolid but their prices are ridiculous

Always been with Newmoon. They are great and dont mind (actually understand) GAS and my constant tweaking of my insurance
