Tecamp Puma 300 Only 2.2 lb! (and there's one for sale in the classifieds for a bargain! ahem)

I am seriously thinking about the V2 M900. I have the V1 and I really like it - but an IR loader and on-board compression would be very useful to me. Apparently the fan is now multi-speed so it's v.slow or off when playing at low levels. That alone has me moist.

Yup. They are standard on the Ibanez Gary Willis bass too. I like them a lot. Billy Sheehan covers the tops of his pickups in epoxy and shapes them into a ramp as well

and Foyles say expected re-supply on 1st March. at £55

ah - the Waterstones website says "Publisher Re-Printing" So don't cancel those orders!

Now showing as Kindle at £20 or used at over £100. I pre-ordered in December at about £18 - I've just had the "delivery in Feb / March" email too. I wonder if the entire run has actually sold out?

It's very cool. But I'd kill the encoder near the right footswitch with my boots. But ignore that - DAMN I want a laser scanner! I'd be scanning everything in the house. Cheese / potato masher / the cat / probably my scrotum when I'm drunk.

Cheers. I'm looking at a new amp to compliment my DG - so I'm thinking old iron options for a change and I was thinking about the ABM 600 and then noticed the Doom as well. I had an old red front Mag400H 15 years ago and it was very nice.

I sit on my cabs all the time. And I weigh almost triple that Ampeg. I wouldn't worry about it.

Has anyone done a good demo of the Head of Doom Geezer Butler amp? Not a lot on youtube about it. I doubt I'm in the market, but I'd like to hear it - especially as it's only 500g heavier than the ABM 600 head.

BAD WORD ALERT! But this, from Game of Thrones, sums it up for me:

Barefaced.

Apart from the really low weight anyway

I'm not surprised at the price. I also don't care that it's made in Indonesia. As Ibanez and others have proved location is no longer a good indicator of quality. Most of the time it's all the same model CNC machines, it's just the local over-heads that are lower. That being said, £3K is outside of what I'm happy to spend on a new bass so I doubt very much I'll be having one, despite the really low weight being a massive appeal to me.

Probably a Status. But only if they can do a new neck shape for a 5 string.

I got my first SR5 in metallic blue with matching headstock for £695 iirc.
