Failing that the Eminence 'Legend' 10" would be a good replacement.

Get the blown speaker repaired? [url="http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/"]http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/[/url] I've sent a few drivers here to be sorted and its not too expensive.

Cheers for the cover Tony. First class!

Nice friendly guy to deal with

I think that there is a big difference to somebody 'busking' or fumbling their way through a song than putting a bassline down thats say 95% there but at least dose all the recognisable riffs, runs etc. I've played gigs in front of other guys in bands who have never noticed anything different or even my cockups!

That is rather special!

I dont find it too ugly but the headstock lets it down for me.

I play in three gigging cover bands and have been playing covers for about 10+ years. I have never sat down and worked out the EXACT bass line to anything, I simply couldn't be arsed to! There are obvious songs like Dancing in the Moonlight *[i]shudders[/i]* where the bass has to be pretty darn close but whether or not its exact I dont know, or care. And being in a pretty limited band I find that I have to do a hell of a lot more with some songs that is on the original. Anyway who down the Pig and Whistle on a Saturday night is going to care anyway? I think if I were asked to play things exactly it the recording I would be looking for another band.

Lovely bit 'o bubinga on the fretless there!

I owned a few CLX112's and were all 4ohm drivers (in 8 ohm cabs). I emailed EA regarding using multiple cabs and questioned the use of 4ohm drivers. I got a very prompt reply from them basically saying that the multiple use of the cabs was ok due to the drivers being about 6ohms rather than 4ohms. I wish I had kept the email now!

My '87 SS1. Ex Warwickhunt stable! Would still kill for his fretless!

And yes, I did trade my Thumb for a Kubicki. It was a 1999 model I think, with a wenge neck in "as new" condition, lovely bass! Alas, Kubicki basses are just more my thing.[/quote] It was a nice Thumb, played and felt just right. Julian (slooj) now uses a 5 string G&L as he [i]needs[/i] the extra string! I though the Kubicki was bonkers but wow, what a slap machine!

[quote name='Chris2112' post='1075210' date='Jan 2 2011, 12:36 PM']The Hellborg bass is awesome but it's so damn expensive![/quote] Ha ha! Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder! I dare not ask how much they are though. BTW Chris did you trade your Thumb for the Kubicki last year?

I'm certainlly more impressed with that than a load of machine gun slap playing!

[quote name='RhysP' post='1075125' date='Jan 2 2011, 11:20 AM']Warwicks are the most dog-ugly range of basses I've ever seen.[/quote] You mean that you DONT like the Hellborg Signature Bass?

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1074981' date='Jan 2 2011, 02:08 AM']Why does the Zender bass have to be ugly [/quote] Its pretty foul! I wonder if anybody buys their [i]Signature[/i] basses? Most of them look dreadful and probably cost the same as a family car!

[quote name='CPBassman' post='1074558' date='Jan 1 2011, 05:40 PM']The only reason I didnt sell it on is that it was built to order and I wouldnt get another like it.......[/quote] Any pics?

[quote name='CPBassman' post='1074529' date='Jan 1 2011, 05:17 PM']This happened elsewhere?? Just thought Id share my experience of 'DUH' ness[/quote] Oh yes! I was very happy with the Thumb bass I had a few years back but the lure of other basses was overwhelming so the Warwicks went and I've owned many basses since, too many to mention but I'm back on Warwicks now, and happy!

[quote name='KiOgon' post='1072454' date='Dec 30 2010, 09:13 AM']Oh dear, I looked at their price list [size=3]3,800.00 USD = 2,452.22 GBP [/size][/quote] Stroof!

Never used one but €150 seems a good price. I've known players to use a single Aguilar GS112 at small gigs and be heard ok. I owned 2 GS112's and together they were very good so you might want to think about a second cab if you're in a band with loud drummer and guitarists, like I am! p.s Sorry for my bad English too!

The red one dose it for me! But again wouldn't the fingerboard look better if stopped at the nut?

I have to agree that the bridge just dont look right, but I remember saying that about the first Lakland Jazz I owned!
