My 635's value is at least £3500.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' post='425565' date='Mar 4 2009, 09:59 PM']I think Copeland is a great drummer but him and Sting aren't my idea of a great rythym section..[/quote] The only song IMO that really presents Gordon and Copeland as a tight rhythm section is Spirits in the Material World. A great bass line with solid backing.

Just got Reggatta de Blanc today purely for Copeland, I'm not too fussed with Sumner and Summers, but Copelands playing on that album was ahead of it's time and still sounds amazing now. People do tend to forget that The Police were a close 3 piece before it became Sting & Friends, and easily upped the game musically when they came onto the scene. I wouldn't say their dire live, Copeland is just as interesting and innovative as he was 20/30 years ago, Sting and Summer's are the habitual let down though, Sting's voice has aged quite badly and Summers can barely remember half of the song before he starts adding some shoddy jazz nonsense which dosen't fit.

I'd say my 44-02 Skyline plays and sounds just as good as JohnnyLightyears/Molans NYC Sadowsky which I had for a decent length of time.

Must have done twenty-thirty gigs, and no problems so far. (I'll probably regret writing that! )[/quote] Ahh thats cool man, it's most likely a case of a duff cab, GK are known for letting quite a few duff products slip by quality control.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='423652' date='Mar 2 2009, 08:54 PM']I know nothing about overheating. But is going from EBS to GK an upgrade?[/quote] I can't get on with the cabs or head any more John, I find the cabs too harsh even with the tweeters off and both the treble and bright cut on the head, and there is no warmth at all to my ear and the tube mode does next to sod all. And having Gunsfreddy pop over recently with his rig I've realised how much EBS isn't for me. Trust me I tried keeping away from GK but ironically the 1001RBII may indeed be right for me, as would the cabs.

I've got my sights set on a GK Neo 2x12 and Neo 2x10 to replace my EBS cabs, but I've recently been informed that the 2x12's have been known to overheat quite often and would be wise to steer clear of them, yet I have read countless reviews on Harmony Central and TalkBass and haven't seen it mentioned at all. Any experiences that can shed any light on this?

Have we got any other dealers that stock Laklands other than The Bass Gallery? Purely because I've been blown away by my 44-02 so much so that I fancy a nice 55-02 or Joe Osbourne to accompany it.

Esperanza's version of Overjoyed destroys Wootens. Amazing performance all around.

Seth does it better.

MTD tone, through and through.
