Can you get the new cabs cheaper elsewhere? If you can, how much cheaper? Once you've got that number you can decide whether to sell privately or trade..

Then what exactly are you moaning about? :-) The price of the new cabs?

Nice recovery :-) [quote name='chrisba' post='974250' date='Oct 1 2010, 03:58 PM']I once designed a computer system that stored peoples details, and had a binary field for storing their sex, 0=male, 1=female. We sold the system to a local authority in London, and they had at least 5 different values they wanted to put in that field, including "hermaphrodite","born male, now female", "born female, now male" and I'm sure there were some others. I'm not sure if there are any hermaphrodites or trans-sexuals here, but I was just covering myself :-)[/quote]

Oh, and welcome :-)

Hi, What's your budget? What sort of transport do you have? What sort of bass do you have? What sort of music does the band (and you) play? How's your back? Cheers Mark

James, This is very generous and noble of you, except of course they've asked him to find his replacement... :-) Cheers Mark [quote name='freefaaall' post='974194' date='Oct 1 2010, 03:33 PM']Steve, Take a deep breath in....and release.... The person who booked the gig, having been told that you were not available, is simply fallible. Has he acknowledged his mistake and apologised to you? By remembering that the drummer has the same problem with the 17th that you have with the 13/14th he is simply avoiding making the same mistake. </devils_advocate> What this incident teaches us is that every working band needs to maintain an up to date availability calendar that shows both when members are unavailable and when that information was shared. The person who makes the bookings then has to take responsibility when they do so without checking the calender. My 2p worth... James[/quote]

And here are my two Ibanez's The MIJ SR765 is quite lovely...

What's your opinion of the Roland V-Bass? One's just come up on here - the first version (pedals on the floor) not the VB-99 table top one.. Our guitarist uses the current (guitar!) version and he gets some pretty good noises from it - and he dispenses completely with backline. Just runs through the PA and foldback..

Although it's easy enough to install a longer one, or use a coupler/extender... Cheers Mark [quote name='MB1' post='974036' date='Oct 1 2010, 02:18 PM']MB1. If its a 4x10 combo you'll find the lead out of your speakers isnt long enough to connect another amp to it.[/quote]

The Fractal Audio stuff looks sweet.. Now where is that spare two grand I left behind the sofa :-)

If anyone is interested...:-) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140460314339"]BTB470[/url]

Wilkommen Herr Kartoffeln ..:-)

Basically they've told you that your commitments and input do not matter, certainly when compared to that of the drummer.. I would walk away in your position...

I'm not sure it's a war - just that the two manufacturers are competing in the same space.. And they both make very fine low-intermediate basses as has been pointed out. Aria also used to play in this space, but they seem to have gone down-market in recent times... I also like the necks on Ibanez basses ( I have two). I also have an Aprilia RST1000 and use Yamaha Keyboards (CLP270 and Motif ES8)... And I like them as well...

HI Louise, Welcome to basschat.....

But does he need one with webbed fingers? :-)

Thanks guys for the info... I'm deciding where to go first..:-)

Try Harmony central - often has prices on the reviews.. This should keep you busy for a while...

What are the prices on them? Coz on google i cant find any sites with prices on.[/quote]

Oops, my bad.. So he is a complete toss*r then.. :-) [quote name='KiOgon' post='972422' date='Sep 30 2010, 10:13 AM']From the title: [color="#FF0000"]***[size=4] Fender Squire Bass Guitar *** RRP: £650 Brand New![/size] [/color][/quote]

Although he says "Worth £650 brand new" :-) rather than RRP... And it comes with a hard case, guitar lead, tuner and (count them) three straps.. So maybe would cost £300 new... This is another bit of hopeful listing...

Whoever sold this rig (or recommended it's assembly) should be shot.. Mark

Thanks, Was planning to use it live either direct into my APM-1000 and/or DI'd into the PA.... Cheers MArk [quote name='dood' post='971638' date='Sep 29 2010, 12:46 PM']Hi Mark, There's a lot out there these days as 'modelling' becomes a bigger deal. I think you've hit the obvious contenders - It sounds like you have a budget to work to and thus the likes of the AxeFX and Eleven by Avid design wont be on the shopping list! OUCH in the wallet!! I've had a Behringer VAMP pro and I actually used it with an X-15 too!! Mine was the older version with the 80's colouring. Pink and green I think it was. It's a good unit to start with and they can be picked up for next to nothing. Maybe dip your toes in with that one and see how you get on. I'm assuming you will be using modelling to record with or play through a PA?[/quote]
