[quote name='Skinkemann' post='755004' date='Feb 23 2010, 01:53 PM']Oh woops, didn't think of that. Thanks lol. The price was just really nice so I thought "woah nice, give give give!"[/quote] I'm not saying "don't buy it" - that's your call. Just do a bit of research first or you could end up with something quite different from what you wanted!

[quote name='Skinkemann' post='754956' date='Feb 23 2010, 01:14 PM']Found a real cheap [b][i]Peavey 3620 Bass Speaker Cabinet Enclosure 210 / 218[/i][/b] [b]Everyone[/b] that replies, I appreciate it so much[/quote] Two eighteens and two tens?!?!?!?! IN ONE CAB?!?! It must be enormous and weigh a huge amount! Unless you have roadies or are built like Arnie I would steer well clear!!

[quote name='BottomEndian' post='754978' date='Feb 23 2010, 01:26 PM']I'm quite astonished (only quite, though ) at the way "thumb up" is winning. I hadn't even considered it as a sensible option for slapping. You've got to have a [b]seriously[/b] short strap to pull that off, surely? Is it just that Basschat's just littered with Mark King wannabes?[/quote] Possibly... It also depends on the way you hold your thumb! Some people's thumbs curve back on themselves so although the first joint might be parallel to the strings, the end joint could be almost perpendicular! I play vaguely in the Mark King style and certainly don't wear my bass under my chin (too high a risk of carpal tunnel syndrome in my playing hand when not slapping!). I guess it all depends on the position of your forearm, hand and thumb. Some people are more flexible than others... The main reason I am finding double-thumb techniques difficult to master is due to the upright position of my thumb! Nearly thirty years of practice makes it hard to change...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='753691' date='Feb 22 2010, 12:28 PM']...my daughter will thank me in years to come.[/quote] Brilliant!! The perfect justification to invest in more gear! Problem is, I'm not keen on vintage Fenders Incidentally, at what age does an "old" bass become a "vintage"? Would my Status, at 25 years old, be classed at "vintage"? Scarey...

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='753658' date='Feb 22 2010, 12:08 PM']If you like tuna sandwiches, why don't we argue about wether they're nice or not instead?[/quote] Are we talking about sandwiches containing tuna, or sandwiches that tuna themselves take on picnics?

Mixing and matching is fine IME. It's still best to try them first though, as most manufacturers design their cabs to work with their amps. As others have said, there are some great used/secondhand deals on here and even if you paid for your own shipping you could still save a lot of money against a new purchase.

Anyone remember the TV music programme "Rockschool"? Henry "King Thumb" Thomas used to play a Thunder III on there....

That sounds like great advice if you are selling a top-end bass, but what about mid-price or even low-end stuff? Just askin'!

[quote name='Maverick' post='750924' date='Feb 19 2010, 02:23 PM']If it ended right now you'd be right, but considering there's 3 days left to go I think the price is already quite high.[/quote] Good point! I misread the time left as "3 hours"!!

Stephen recently bought my Ibanez Musician bass - as a gift for a friend! Not only must he be a good friend to have, but he was a pleasure to deal with. Payment was extremely prompt and all communications swift and pain-free! Thoroughly recommended!

[quote name='edster' post='732492' date='Feb 2 2010, 05:57 AM']Hi, I'm interested in the whole rig. Where are you?[/quote] His profile page says he plays in a "Kent-based" metal band, so presumably we are talking south east! Either that or he spends a lot of time in the car... Nice stack. Good price. Too far away from me! -
[quote name='warwickhunt' post='749256' date='Feb 18 2010, 07:52 AM']A few of us 'Ooop North' regularly do stuff like that and organise mini (3-5 man) bass-bashes...[/quote] So when's the next one?! Are you thinking of replacing the Thunderfunk, or is your interest in the RH450 just a general one?

Whereabouts are you Paul?

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='731227' date='Jan 31 2010, 11:59 PM']Wow - I don't know if the serial numbers were seperate for each model at that time [as they are now], but my original Status SII was #402, produced in 1987. Rich.[/quote] Mine's number 263 - born on November 24th 1986. I really must get some pix posted up here...!!

EBS cabs for sale & Genz Benz Combo SOLD SOLD SOLD
Conan replied to JMT3781's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Are you looking for £600 each for the speaker cabs, or £600 for the pair? -
[quote name='William James Easton' post='747677' date='Feb 16 2010, 07:44 PM']... tolex scuffed, sounds mint.[/quote] It's a bit more than "scuffed" bonny lad! Still, I have one of these and thinking of getting another - great cabs! How much would you be looking for in a cash sale?

[quote name='carlsim' post='742074' date='Feb 11 2010, 01:42 PM']A combo of my Overwater Progress deluxe and warwick corvette 5 string... to be honest, it doesnt really lack top end at all, i guess i just always had 2 x 10's and got used to the sound... not only that, we generally use IEM and am moving away from backline as well, so am deciding what to keep... i have a 2x10 already which i used in conjunction with the 1 x 15 so i guess its a case of not needing both and keeping the one i would use more... the 2 x 10! I guess i was making assumptions about a 1 x 15 not having as much top (although i guess i mean upper mid punch) as a 2 x 10, as i never used the 1 x 15 on its own, only as part of the rig... saying that, knowing EBS stuff, i doubt it would lack any top end really... Hope this helps. I guess its all about context in terms of what you want from a cab really - although i can be sure that whoever buys this wont be disspoainted...[/quote] Cheers! Good answer. I've certainly got this cab on my "short list", but I'm off to Scotland tomorrow for a few days and won't have access to the web... Will see if it's gone (as it should be at this price!) by the time I get back...

They certainly are beautiful instruments, but you look at the spec list and I can't help thinking "why exactly do they cost quite SO much"? Good luck with your sale. WAY outta my league!!

STEINBERGER XL-5W ('Wide 5') RARER THAN A VERY RARE THING!
Conan replied to lowregisterhead's topic in Basses For Sale
Agree with the above! The more I look at gear on here, the more I realise that I don't like or need ebay. It is just too open to corruption and manipulation. Yes, there can be some great deals, but they are becoming increasingly rare. It seems far more common now that people end up paying over the odds for poor stuff... Fair enough, there is less traffic on here so you might have to wait a little longer for a specific item to come up (or a buyer to show interest in your own specific item) but in the longer term its far safer and more reliable. There are also some fantastic prices available on some bloody fine gear!! -
[quote name='carlsim' post='724505' date='Jan 25 2010, 08:20 PM']As i am downsizing to just one cab, i need something with more top end so i am moving back to a 2x10...[/quote] I'm quite interested in this cab - and yes, it is a great price! One thing that concerns me though is that you imply that it has a lack of top-end? Even with the tweeter?? That seems odd... What bass do you play through it?

I'm tempted too.... but would be even more tempted if it was an 8 ohm. My Ampeg doesn't run down to 2 ohms AFAIAA
