Very smooth and warm tone, well worth a bid.

Would the Behringer work as a pre-amp infront of a power amp? I've seen some reviews on Harmony Central that suggest it may have a weak output? EDIT: a quick google search brought this up: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=27571&st=0&p=286956&#entry286956"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry286956[/url] so I'm sorted ta!

[quote name='dood' post='488745' date='May 15 2009, 12:08 PM']No worries mate! It's cool! I'd posted on another thread about G.A.S - and have to say that on paper at least, Alex's cabs do tick a great deal of boxes. Quite like the idea of a monster 2x15 Big One ;o) As per our li'l discussion.. I have to agree with you that sometimes online shops don't do themselves any favours by putting one price online.. but when you order they are 'out of stock and you wont get another at the same price'. Just smacks of laziness or not being clear about a 'deal' price. Come one guys! - A website isnt difficult to keep updated! oh and there's another rant! lol - Webshops with gawd awwwwful websites. If I cant find what I am looking for in under 5 clicks.. I tend to go elsewhere! lol[/quote] I'm afraid I'll have to stick up for webshops on this one! Maintaining pricing across multiple brands (often from multiple distributors) is very time consuming and often confusing. I can see where music shops will suffer, exchange rates are changing daily and a few of our suppliers wont even give us a set price list, we have to call on the day we order which makes it very difficult to advertise a price. This is exaggerated with high ticket value, low turnover items. They may have bought said cab 3 months ago for £550 and after making the call to the distributor now to replace it, it may cost them £750 to buy in! I will concede that it's lazy not removing items/pricing for goods you dont have in stock and we always honour our advertised price (unless we're out to make a loss) but that's just good customer service.

Just a quick word of warning, I bought a VMP and while it looks and sounds great, it's just starting to fall apart on me after about 2 months. The tone/volume knobs dont fit and therefore try to fall off all the time and the jack socket has just worked itself loose which is giving me intermittent sound. They're easy fixes, but these little niggles can be frustrating. I'd suggest buying 2nd hand from a reliable and honest BCer! Ben.

Hello, I've stuck this on ebay as we dont need to record 8 mics at once at the moment and my mate wants an interface for his house to fiddle with our tracks on his own so we're downsizing to two smaller interfaces. £200 + postage for any Basschat members or see it here > [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160333373132&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...E:L:LCA:GB:1123[/url] Cheers, Ben.

Hey Kiwi, My old man's on the North Shore and he's finding no shortage of work, he does a lot of painting/decorating of new builds. I think you'l be fine! Best of luck to you. Ben.

There are bargains to be had. I've just got an as new Genz Benz 6x10 for £350 off ebay. I was recently using a cheaper rig and I found it wanting, so finding the Genz at that price was a nice suprise. Try looking for slightly obscure brands which may be overlooked by the general bass playing public so you dont have to compromise on quality!

[quote name='RussFM' post='474235' date='Apr 28 2009, 02:39 PM']I just bought a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi. Part of me wanted the CC version, and part of me wanted the SW version and an 8x10, but pretty happy with it anyway, I can get my 2x10, 3u rack case and the guitaristist's Gretch case in the boot, and my bass goes on the back seats. Probably would get an 8x10 in there with the seats down. [/quote] Is that a factory fitted sub in the back?

I've got a '03 Focus and I used to carry about 2 basses, an 8x10 and my RB2000 around quite comfortably with the back seats down. Probably get a bit more in with some careful stacking...
