  1. Struggling here, I've got a 2x12 combo which is ace and I'd like to take it with me to NZ, but I'm concerned about shipping it.

    3 options:

    - sell on here and make a significant loss (I've already discounted £125 from my original asking price!) and buy something over there (fender rumble for 100% more than I'd pay over here :( )
    - ship with a courier - hundreds of pounds...
    - check it on the plane

    I've spoken to Tecamp, they'll send me a replacement box/padding etc for £30. Would the combo be safe checked on a plane in its original box? Surely if it's sturdy enough to be shipped in that in the first place, it'll handle the baggage guys? It'll be an "oversized" item too, so it won't be lashed underneath as much luggage as something "normal" sized would be.

    I can remove the head and carry that (in a little bespoke box) as carry on luggage too.

    I've got 40kg of checked baggage allowance and 14kg for carry on over two bags, so weight isn't really an issue....

    Any thoughts?

  2. I've got a pair of EMU PIPEline digital wireless transmitters/receivers. They can both send or receive, so can be used as either a wireless IEM or wireless instrument system.

    The sound is clear, full and uncoloured, and they're stereo too, handy for the IEM situation. Range is also good, I've been 15 meters away with no problems.

    I've used them very little as my masterplan to get us all using IEM failed and I'm always stood on top of my amplifier, so it doesn't make much sense not to cable up.

    I've got the boxes, cables, protective covers but only one of the power supplies. I'm in the middle of a move, so I'm sure the other will turn up, but they last for hours, so it's not such an issue having just the one.

    Here's some info as they're not that common:

    £50 posted for the lot.

  3. A couple more from [url="http://www.hellfest.fr/hellfest-tv.php?type=l"]Hellfest TV[/url]:

    [url="http://player.vimeo.com/video/73998695"]Down[/url] who sound massive and [url="https://vimeo.com/73998694"]The Sword[/url] which sounds a bit flat and dry. Shame the recordings vary so much band to band, but still nice to watch!

  4. Reluctant sale, this. I was hoping to pack it up and take it with me on the plane to NZ, but after doing some maths, I'll only have 7Kgs for clothes and misc stuff with this and my bass in the hold...So, after conferring with Kiwi, I've decided to sell/swap this for a decent Class D amp, take that with me and buy some cabs out there.

    So, it's a Tecamp Puma 500w 2x12 combo. The head can actually be removed to be used as a standalone head, but the cab is excellent. Loads of headroom, plenty of bottom end and it's super light, so easy to move around.

    It's got a couple of scrapes in the tolex as the photos show, but nothing ridiculous, you'll only notice them up close. It's working 100%, sounds lovely.

    It's got a "taste" knob which is similar to the Markbass VLE knob - fully counter-clockwise, it's Hi-Fi, fully clockwise, it's oldschool thump. There's a 4 band EQ too, so it's plenty flexible.

    I'm looking for £600 in cash or a Class D head plus cash.

    Here's some pictures:

    I'm based up on the Wirral in the north west. Prefer collection, but I'll deliver for diesel within 30 miles.
