  1. I am due to be auditioning for a Celtic Metal band next month who play in Drop C and DGCF, a first for me. Found my usual 45-105 lacking in tension unsurprisingly, taking delivery of a heavier set today but historically string thickness has always been more important that tension for me, so I may well stick with the 105's. We shall see!

    Unreasonable Rant

    I get more irked by people asking almost the new cost of used gear that happens to be flavour of the month, and then wonder why they have no interest. Some people need to learn not to buy new if they are not prepared to lose money when selling!
  3. Sold a bass amp to Alberto, he arranged shipping and everything, perfect deal, highly recommend!
  4. Listing the M9 was a moment of GAS induced temporary insanity. Fortunately the GAS inducing item sold and I came to my senses! The M9 can do almost anything and sounded massive with the band on Sunday. The powerhouse cabs are very heavy indeed, but Berg NV115's are more than manageable The Darkglass certainly seemed to be louder and more flat sounding than the puma ; I found the puma had some kind of bass or low mids boost baked into the circuit. Believe it or not, the Darkglass has the cleanest flattest sound of all the amps, Microtubes circuits disengaged of course. It's a great amp, I only sold as for various reasons I decided to have the Darkglass pre on my pedalboard again, and it seemed OTT to have the amp and not use the Microtubes section. I have no experience with the combo, but I am almost certain it will just be the rackmountable version of the M6 in there and should be whipped out easily ; it's only usually cheaper combos that tend to have the head more built in.
  5. Mesa Boogie M9 Carbine Darkglass M900 Tecamp Puma 900 Gallien Krueger MB500 Fusion All excellent heads owned in the past 24 months, ranked in order of my preference. GK lacked a bit of umph compared to the others, but with a lower rating its not terribly surprising. The only other amp I owned in that time was an Aguilar TH500 - I was very disappointed in this amp. AB'd it against the GK and Tecamp at the time, felt like the Class D head people love to stereotype; underpowered, real lack of weight in the tone and just generally weaker sounding than the other two. Preamp I found dark and rather hard to get away from its baked in sound, just didn't like it at all.
  6. Wow. I wonder where he got that price from? Entry level passive MEC pickups, crazy money.
  7. Full depth, not shallow rack. Hope this helps
  8. Gator 4U Rack Case - in good condition with some scuffing on the feet as you would expect, however it has not seen heavy use. Price is collected from Leamington, happy to meet somewhere with reason, postage is possible but extra as, whilst this case is very lightweight for its size, it is still a bulky package.
  9. Just to add, this does include the footswitch and a suitable long cable too. This will likely only be available for 24/48 hours or until the amp I am after otherwise sells. This will then be withdrawn so weekend sale only please!
  10. Mesa M9 Carbine in 4u Gator rack case, all in very good condition and comes with footswitch. You know what this is, legendary amp with incredible EQ control and a great compressor on board. One of the most highly rated hybrid amps ever produced, capable of SO much. 600W of Mosfet power.

    What do these pickups/preamp sound like?
  15. I honestly don't think a scammer would choose a Peavey... Aberdeen is certainly a scammer location though, but reckon this one is fine..
  16. It's bizarre, isn't it?
  17. I'm going to continue spamming this with my three
