    I'm using a Headlite (with 2 x Berg 12" cabs) and I'm very happy with it. I previously had a Markbass LMK and although there is a noticeable headroom difference between the two, the Headlite is more than sufficient for gigs I play. Anything bigger and I would DI. I agree with BTGAndy in that it's a warmer sounding head (probably due to the tube pre). The physical size of it is just crazy...I've even put it into the front pocket of my gigbag with no problems. Cheers, Jim

    I must admit that although a great player, I've sometimes struggled to 'connect' with his music in the same way that I have with other players. Saying that, I thought he came across as a fantastic teacher of music and I was really impressed with his approach to playing, his philosophy and his connection with the audience. An excellent evening and an impressive man.

    Lovely looking bass. Just to say that recently purchased a Stage I from Ben and he is a very decent guy to deal with, so buy with confidence. Have a bump. Jim

    Two people introduced me to the bass...Mark King and Sting. Once I started to understand bass then it was Marcus Miller (live gigs are amazing and an inspiration) and James Jamerson (Genius). FP

    This has got me thinking.... total is 23 basses (of which I currently have 6). I've certainly slowed down a bit lately though as I understand more about what I'm after.

    Bugger...I was going to be at the other end of Camden High Street. Larry Graham at Koko on Sunday. Decisions, decisions.

    Just bought a Warwick Stage 1 Streamer from Ben. Absolute pleasure to deal with and very helpful for a Warwick newbie like me! Cheers, James

    I saw a DVD of myself the other night and I seemed to switch between a 'clenched lips look '(as if I was going to hit someone) and then I made a relaxed 'blown cheeks' look for one song. It was at that point that my guitarist pointed out the resemblance to the Churchill Insurance dog....gum chewing here I come. Jim

    Hi, I recently picked this up in a trade and whilst it is extremely well made and versatile, I can't honestly think of a reason why I need to keep it. It's a Sandberg California PM4 Supreme; Full spec can be found here; [url="http://www.sandberg-guitars.de/basscat-overview/calp-series/calpmsupreme"]Sandberg California PM4 Supreme Spec[/url] It's in excellent condition with only a minor mark to the underside of the body and a few light marks on the back. As mentioned before, it has a wide range of sounds through the P and MM pickups as well as passive and active switching. It comes with a very good Sandberg gigbag, all it's tools and weighs in at approx. 8-9lbs. Lovely bass for someone who wants tone versatility on the fly. New price for these appear to be about £1200.00. SOLD [attachment=44484:DSC_6285.JPG][attachment=44485:DSC_6286.JPG][attachment=44486:DSC_6287.JPG] Cheers, Jim

    [quote name='Pete Academy' post='759940' date='Feb 28 2010, 05:33 PM']I now use one of these, purchased from my very good friend, Dodgnofski. Highly recommended.[/quote] yep, although I must admit I was expecting a bit more interest! Price Drop!

    Cheers Tim. It really is a good unit. I've just gone even lighter now with my SWR headlite so this is now spare. Just hope I don't miss the extra headroom that you get with this amp. Cheers, Jim

    Up for grabs is my trusty Markbass LMK 500W (@4 ohms) Amp Head. This has been my main amp head for the past two and a bit years and has served me well. For those not familiar, it has the great ability to switch between two channels or a mix of both which can be switched and muted via the optional footswitch (included). Full spec can be found here; [url="http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=1&vedi=68"]Markbass LMK Spec[/url] It also comes with a Markbass gig bag which I've always kept it in (even for gigs) as it opens at both sides (including velcro patches so that it sticks to your cabinet head). I'll even throw in the Markbass Bass Holder (not shown as I just remembered that after I'd taken the photos) which is a soft neck holder that attaches to the side of your cabinet. (very useful). Anyway, the LMK was originally purchased from The Gallery in 2008. Very slight marks to the top cover but nothing noticeable. SOLD for the full package + postage. No trades thanks.

    I have both a Lakland DJ and a Marcus Miller Jazz and personally, they are different in lots of ways. As you say, the slimmer neck, the smaller body and the pre-amp make the DJ a joy to play and gives you a brighter Jazz tone. I have a passive Natural finish DJ going through an outboard Sadowsky pre-amp. However, there's no getting away from the fact that the thicker, bigger body on the MM Jazz gives you a much deeper Jazz tone for those punchy lows. Don't forget to look at upgrading parts of your bass as part of your budget. I'm just changing the pre-amp in MM Jazz to Aguilar. Hopefully, that will be £70 well spent. I guess it's a case of getting out there and trying as many as you can!

    [quote name='3V17C' post='755857' date='Feb 24 2010, 09:56 AM']Yeah I think I'll just have to persevere with myspace.. as you say it has all the facilities for audio,video, photos etc its just trying to find good, clean layouts is a pain (especially with my limited knowledge of coding!) Then once I've got enough reasonable examples of my playing etc on there i'll hit all the usual muso wanted sites. peace c[/quote] Check out www.coolchaser.com. They have myspace layouts that generate the coding so all you have to do is copy and paste in the relevant area and job done.

    I think that a key point here is whether you want a site to refer people to or a site to advertise yourself? I use Myspace to refer people to after I've made contact. It has all the basics for me and I've tailored it to look good using site software such as 'Coolchaser'. But....no one is ever going to find me if they are looking for a bass player so some of the alternatives that are mentioned above may be a better choice. Cheers, Jim

    [quote name='wateroftyne' post='749679' date='Feb 18 2010, 01:50 PM']I'd love to try the 112s....[/quote] Personally, I think the 12's are spot on. Fantastic all round sound. I'm going to give the SWR a workout at rehearsals tonight as I've only ever used them in anger with my Markbass LMK.

    Here's mine with the newly acquired SWR Headlite sitting on top. (Only problem is that its so small, the feet of the amp head doesn't clear the handle on the top cab) [attachment=42951:DSC_6181.JPG] Cheers, FP

    All pm's replied to. Forgot to mention that I'm not after any trades at the moment so it's a straight sale only. Thanks.
