[quote name='alanbass1' post='827915' date='May 4 2010, 09:31 PM']4001's and Hiwatt's are still up there in my books - welcome[/quote] :-) I suspect this is a common mid life crisis thing but it's really bitten again.... Plus there is so much good (great by late 70's/80's standards) gear around.. I fell for an Ibanez SR765 2003 MIJ and looking to start gigging again found a nice Ashdown EB300/15 with Kappa loaded MAJ 15" extension cab for £185.. It's clear the Kappa is a much nicer speaker than the Ashdown one :-) or it's in a better cab.. or both.. Now where do I look for a band these days? I suspect Melody Maker/NME are somewhat passe now :-) cheers Mark

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='826715' date='May 3 2010, 06:46 PM']Welcome Mark & remember fashions do go full circle! [/quote] Cheers, I notice you have one of those new-fangled 4003 things :-)

Just doing the intro thing after coming back to bass playing after a long time off.. When I left my Rickenbacker 4001 and HiWatt 200/2x15 setup was considered somewhat fashionable which tells you how long ago that was... Although I did rather like the WAL probass one of my mates had just bought at the time.. Now back with an Aria IGB-50 and Ashdown EB180/15. And impressed.... Tata for now.. Mark
