I saw that bass on eBay & if I'd had some spare cash I would have bid myself! Great purchase, congrats!

[quote name='Adee' post='397981' date='Feb 2 2009, 03:44 PM']I actually bought a Landmark 300 off Cetera when he got his Landmark 600 1/ They sound amazing 2/ Very versatile, although I also struggled to get a totally clean sound possible only available on one channel with the 'blend' off, not sure now. 3/ Slightly underpowered 4/ Did I say they sound amazing !? If you can get one for the right price I'd give it a go, although you would need to run it at 4 ohms to get the full 300 watts Ade[/quote] Yep, +1 to all that Ade.... The really great thing about this rig is that you can combine the 2 separate channels (BDDI & RPM) to create your own tones as well.... e.g clean low end on one, overdriven top end on the other...! I guess that's the main advantage over the RBI with the Hartke, but either choice would be great!

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='398706' date='Feb 3 2009, 11:01 AM']Not sure if you mean the whole rig but if you do, you're looking at about £1600-1700 new if you have the footswitch for the head (as I do) and about £600 for the cab on it's own. I bought what you see in the photo used in mint condition for about a grand. Money very well spent. By the way, the head runs at 2 ohms and I'm so tempted to hear what it would sound like with a second 2x12 - now that would be a proper rig.[/quote] Yep, I'd love to add a second one to my rig and get the Shuttle 12.0 myself!

[quote name='Shaggy' post='401081' date='Feb 5 2009, 02:48 PM']Cetera's old one - best full-range cab ever IMO, happy doing modern hi-fi or old school thump, and can bi-amp it too. Even fits cross-wise in the boot of my Modeo estate without putting the seats down, but pretty sure a solid month of gigging with it thru December gave me elbow tendonitis! [/quote] Ah! Glad you're still enjoying it! I wouldn't have got rid of it if I didn't already have my Mesa 2x15 Diesel!! It just wasn't getting used.... Yep, the older Disel cabs were the black tolex ones with the old style logo & black grill. Roadready Diesel were the same, just encased in a metal flightcase

Great news about a great band!! Saw every London show they ever did.... inclusing the Marquee, Hammy O & The Forum. Can't see this reunion making it as far as a European tour though.... Billy & Eric can't stand each other so it must be the cash (& the love of their crazy Japanese fans) that has made this possible...

Hope you feel better soon mate!

Received EMG P/J pickup set from this chap! Pleasure to do business with & recommended!

[quote name='Veils' post='392485' date='Jan 27 2009, 10:20 AM']My tip - buy a Sansamp BDDI[/quote] Agreed, buy anything powerful (SVT3, GK etc) with plenty of head room... then put a BDDI in front of it. Or.... check out a second hand Tech 21 Landmark 300 or 600 Head....

Spector ReBop...

I would have loved to go see them but unable to make it.... GREAT band... saw them many times around the Gretchen period...

....and a Spector-copy brass bridge!

Cheers chaps.... I'll advise him accordingly

A friend of mine has a black Shergold Marathon Stereo bass in very good player condition. It has a maple board and twin outputs and is a lefty... Does anyone know a ballpark value/figure as he may be interested in selling if it's worth it... Cheers!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='385770' date='Jan 20 2009, 10:36 AM']Who buys these signature guitars anyway?[/quote] Many thousands of people.... look at the popularity of the Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee, Bob Glaub, etc etc.... Even Nick Seymour of Crowded House plays a Geddy.... A good guitar/bass is a good instrument regardless of whether there's a signature on it. My Geddy and Jackson 'Kip Winger' basses are excellent quality, very playable and cool sounding basses that do what I want them to....
