Over the years I've hand many different cases from flight cases to SKB cases to rack cases etc. No matter what, you definately want to protect your gear, if your head can be rack cased, than that is the most practical, not the most expensive and protective way to go... IMO...you could try the flightcase warehouse, I think that they do second hand/ reconditioned cases... Cheers Andrew

I used to own a 3 series BMW, so if you have a 7 series it should be no hassle. I moved my 3/4 bass in soft case around just fine, just drop back the front passenger seat (so that it's headrest is more or less on the back seat, slide in your double bass through the passenger door, the scroll should sit nicely between the two rear headrests, and clip the seat belt around and away you go... BTW I now own a ford focus hatch back and you can fit a double bass and full ampeg stack (flightcased) in... Cheers Andrew

Cheers aonindy, Thanks for the tip... Andrew

Yeah, Had one of those on Friday night, got a call at six in the evening, mind you they did tell me the set list, but soundchecks were at eight and onstage for ten, so had a really quick listen on you tube, just to get the 'feel' for the songs and basically busked it from there, was a great night though, lots of dancin'... Cheers Andrew

Hi I use an Ampeg 15 & 2x10 with my SVT 200T head, amazing sound and tone, and portability ain't too bad either, as someone posted above there is a 2x10 Ampeg for sale here on BC... Well worth buying IMO... Thanks Andrew

Hi, I know of another Phil Jones Briefcase owner who had a similar problem (Tony Thompson - Luthier) if I remember, this is going back four years ago, he contacted Phil Jones directy and they had the problem sorted for him within five working days... I know this is not the answer you were hoping for... but, it might point you in the right direction. Tony was absolutely delighted with PJB for their 1st class aftersales... Cheers Andrew

Feel free to jump right in...

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and beautiful... ah the dream...

If you can get your hands on one of the old late 80's early 90's Boss chorus pedals, you won't go far wrong...

Anyone....?

Hi, I was wondering if any anyone out there could help me figure out the 3/4 bass I have? I purchased "Big Al" about four years ago and had it professionally set up by Tony Thompson (Luthier based in Wicklow, Ireland). Big Al plays like a dream, and has been hired out by Pokey Lafarge & the south city three to name but a few, anyone who has played him, can't praise the sound or the tone out of him enough... so at least that's positive. There are no markings/ labels on the bass, although the adjustable bridge (which I don't think is original) bears the marking BTS patented, so not sure if that helps... Here are a few pics, maybe someone can tell me what "Big Al" is? Thanks Andrew
