I can play DB a little bit - but I'd never get one in the house or the car (at least not with the kids in it as well). I'll have to start seeing what I can offload.

I don't have to think if I get a piano score. Pesky pianos go to deep for a 4.

Talk me out of getting into serious marital trouble... I have severe gas for an MB2. DB sound, 6.5 lb... Surely there is something negative about them? Please!!!!!!

If I swap basses I hear the clear difference immediately. If I swap cables I don't hear a difference. A Precision will sound like a precision through any amp or cable. The very best a passive cable can do is to let the signal through as cleanly as possible. It cannot improve the signal. To claim otherwise is audiotardery. Changing from rounds to flats causes a far bigger change than cables!

Finally used mine in anger with a Puma 300 head and a Marleaux Consat Custom 5. Orchestra rehearsal this morning. Tunes included Pink Panther, Peter Gunn Theme, How deep is your love, Batman theme etc The little cab didn't miss a beat. Sounded clear and powerful, and the low B was stunning. Very very pleased!

Did you have a contract that allows you to get part payment in the event of a late cancellation?

A great sound at 7.5lb is certainly making me think about getting out my wallet.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1443646067' post='2876646'] Hello! They're Precision flats. [/quote] Thank you. I fancy trying some.

WOT, which flats are they please? I see GHS have different types. Sounds lovely.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1443560390' post='2875852'] According to the website, my Rob Allen MB2 is approx 6.5lbs. To be honest, it feels lighter. [/quote] I really want to try one of those!

hipshot ultra lites do that. Don't know about other brands.

GHS Pressurewounds are a lovely in-between string. They are rounds that have been squeezed to flatten the windings.

Is it any better than the tiny Planet Waves clip on?

I'd still like to know the actual compression, attack and release numbers. I saw on TB that Doug said he hadn't actually calculated them yet! Was that not part of the design process?

I'm a big fan of the Mark Bass CMD 201P combo. Great amp. But I'd also recommend trying the Tecamp Classic 2x12 combo (500W). I just got my first Tecamp head (a Puma 300) and it is superb.

Sale of Goods Act Section 14(ii)(a-d) Must be fit for the purpose and reasonably durable. Doesn't seem to meet either of those requirements. It's 4 months old so it falls into the category of you should be able to get a refund as the repairs have failed.

Forgot to say... Handles the low B on my EMG loaded Stingray5 with ease. It's been a Motown day!

I wondered who beat me to that Jazz. Git! 1st refusal if you sell please.

Tiny rig!

Just did a part-x deal with Brian. He now has a Streamliner 900 and I have a Tecamp Puma. Good all the way But above all he managed to make my kids do their homework! Pleasure to meet you.

Could you get the sound you want without the cabs just using the Sansamp kit - so the FOH has "your" sound, and then you can put up a not quite as perfect on stage sound from your cabs just as your personal monitor?
