At that price I'd look for a used Genz Benz Nx 212. A full range cab, usually around the £350 mark and 600W at 4ohms. I swear by them and have ab'd mine against other more boutique/expensive 2x12's and imho it sounds better. I even cancelled my order for a Barefaced equivalent when I had the chance to play them alongside each other....
They come up for sale here occasionally. Here's the most recent one...

Unhelpful, unasked for, advice. Please refrain from offering any more of it.

They make these things called scissors. You apply them to the kind of fabric you would like your stars to be, in the size and shape you would like them to be, with a little extra around each edge that you fold under. That folded edge is the edge of your star. Then you apply this oldfangled technology called "needle and thread" to your stars just back from that edge and hey presto you have a shirt with stars on it.
Cheers for that. Just the kind of unhelpful, sarcastic, smartarse comment I expected...

Well I like to customise the odd thing.
Nice work!
I'd like to find a nice shirt with large stars all over it but googling 'stars shirt' is a hiding to nothing...

Wondered if anyone has any experience/advice....
I have a full time job, company sorts tax etc so no self declaring...
I've potentially got an opportunity to take a month sabbatical (unpaid) from my work and to do a tour with a US artist in Europe. Money won't be huge but will be around the same that I'm missing from my full time job so what, if any, are the tax implications? Do I need to do anything? Tell anyone etc?
Cheers in advance!

Once I discovered the holy grail tone combination (imho) of Spector and Gallien-Krueger (15 years ago) I was set...
Classic 80's/90's GK400RB or 800RB, or early 2000's 700RB-II are my go to amp-wise now, with a more modern Legacy800 as backup.
Similarly, once I discovered the Genz Benz Neox212 I found no need for another cab. 600W at 4ohms and a one hand lift. Job done. I even A/B'd it against the Barefaced equivalent with a fellow, respected, bassist and we both much preferred the Genz. Saved me spending a grand unnecessarily....

This whole album is timeless to me and still sounds great, despite being nearly 50 years old!
@ezbass Amen! This and it's follow up 'Stampede' are my faves, with 'The Captain & Me' very close behind...
Tiran's bass playing is off the scale!-

Damn that is sexy! Ive not seen many Korean Spectors rocking such high quality hardware and beautiful MOP inlays!
The inlays are stickers. The hardware is an upgrade.
Great basses these.

This preamp pedal is really quite something..... the trouble is I'm just not making use of it on my current projects so it's sitting in its case when someone should be enjoying the hell out of it!
Every tone you could ask for.... from traditional round McCartney tones to high-gain 'solid lows but distorted hi-end' metal tones (Muse, Kings X etc) and everything inbetween..... plus a cool compressor and tuner built in too!!
Manufacturer product info here: https://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/dp3x/
These are £350+ new and this one has only had home use.... and still has its sticker, booklet & warranty card in the metal tin....
I'm asking a very reasonable £240 inc postage. No silly low offers please as this thing is basically mint.
Payment by direct bank transfer or Paypal (you pay fees).
Please see my extensive positive feedback for assurance of a clean, honest transaction.

Sadly I'm unable to attend the bass bash now, can I post the pedal to someone so it's still able to go in the raffle? I asked on the main thread but no takers
I'll PM you chap.

I'd go the 35P4 in the neck and 35DC in the bridge, all day every day....
Night and day from the Hz pickups and ideally matched with the BTS circuit.-
