I love the look of that rig. But the upside down packet of kitchen roll in the background is really annoying me

Run Leia Run is my current band - yours truly (bass), Jon (guitars), Bob (drums) and J (singing). The plan was to be a ska/punk band, but Bob's a big classic/rock fan and Jon is more rock/punk/80's goth. Outcome is a high energy rock-pop-punk thing. Goes down well with audiences over a pretty wide age range. The results can be heard here - [url="http://www.myspace.com/runleiarun"]Run Leia Run's Myspace page[/url]

Added I make all my own cables, but I know a lot of guys here use and like OBBM's cables, so happy to spread the love

It's great when you realise what you need ain't it? Just reached the same point myself. Unfortunately, I heven't got "the one" yet.

One of our recent ones

[quote name='matski' post='779529' date='Mar 19 2010, 10:29 AM']There's a decent guitar shop in Tonbridge now...??? Wonders will never cease. When I used to live in Tonbridge there was just a crappy general music store at the bottom of Quarry Hill - they probably did more business selling recorders to school kids than anything else [/quote] It's actually upstairs from the crappy shop lol

[quote name='spongebob' post='778257' date='Mar 18 2010, 08:55 AM']Not sure about those guys. I had some dealings with them a while back - admittidly only over the phone - but they did seem a bit blunt, and a little full of themselves. May sound daft, but these things put you off, don't they?[/quote] I know exactly where you're coming from. I popped in there for a browse while my car was having an MOT and new tyre. After 10 minutes of browsing I got a sulky "Anything you're looking at?" After saying it was the Squier Pete Wentz P Bass the attitude changed a lot. I think they have to put up with a lot of time wasting fantasy shoppers wanting to play with their Alembics.

Used Warwicks = Bargain (again) New, Squier VMJs, Epiphone Thunderbird Pro, Gibson SG faded

American Guitar Centre in Tonbridge?

Looks like there's both a speakon and a jack. I can't see an FX loop though. Am I right in thinking there isn't one?

You sir, are an a**e![/quote] psst you may want to edit your post [quote name='Smurfitt']I am female, blonde, already have decent earplugs and am new to bass gear[/quote]

Why not give Guitar Amp and Keyboard a shout (they've their own forum in "Affiliates" section). They sell Markbass stuff so will know what fits and if you speak direct to one of the guys (rather than order on-line) you'll know if its in stock and when they can get it to you.

And the Bass Terror has a shoulder bag! But I mustard mitt I'm intrigued by the LM Rocker

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='761093' date='Mar 1 2010, 07:40 PM']Going to be the Ampeg for the Irish Folk Punk band, I don't need the 4X10 + 1X15 set up that I usually use. The 2 things I need is 2X10 and lightweight as I won't have the band to help me, I'm going to paint it green [/quote] 2 10" drivers, a sheet of decent ply, hardware and grills can easily set you back £200 or more (or a lot more). You'll also be wanting a circular saw, jig saw, clamps and possibly a router if you want rounded edges. If you're anything like me you'll be wanting tweezers for splinter removal and a BIIIG box of plasters Oh, and plenty of time. If all you need is 2X10 and lightweight and you need it sooner rather than later, you'll save money and time by getting a used Hartke Transporter 2X10. But you won't get a lot of volume compared to what you're used to (due to power handling) or bass (due to size). Add a little more cash and you might find a used BFM Omni10 - more power handling, great bass, light(ish) but big for a 2X10. Of course, there's a whole range of sizes and performance limits in between. If your heart is set on building your own 2X10 cab then you might want to get Bill's plans for the Jack210. They're very comprehensive, and there's lots of advice and support available on Bill's forum. It's a popular design that seems to work for a wide variety of styles of music. They look "different" in their natural state but you can put a grill across the front for a more traditional appearance. If you're not used to using a circular saw you might want to budget for a second sheet of ply (you can get all the bits from one sheet, but no extra if you really butcher a panel), and can save a bit of cash by leaving out the tweeters and crossover. There's a few drivers that work in it, but not the ones you've been looking at.

Wayne, which of your amps are you going to be powering this 2X10 with, and have you got a manufacturers cab as a target sound that you are looking for? Do you want something hi-fi, or more like your Ashdowns? Is it going to be used standalone or with one (or more) of your exisiting cabs?

I'd go with the Peavey TKO. Had one years ago and they're deceptively LOUD for the power. Probably something to do with the size.

IME a hi-fi tone on a P bass comes from having a not overwound pickup and decent fresh stainless steel strings. If you want the tone to last try Warwick EMPs

Never mind the theory..... HOW MUCH???!!!
