Called up Anderton's today because my Stageclix Jack delivery date kept being changed, and it was supposed to arrive at the store today. I had it on back order which I was fully aware of before paying for it btw it seems like it was all due to their supplier messing them around (I came to this conclusion, I wasn't given this as a half arsed excuse!). Anyways Jon investigated and it had actually arrived today! And since I had ordered it just over a month ago, I was assured that my order would be upgraded to next day delivery.. Result! Definitely pleased with the service, however I would advise against ordering any out of stock items if you're in a hurry

FWIW the Markbass Classic cabs look f***ing cool. Not ported though, and i haven't tried one before

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1338999174' post='1682206'] Mate, I remember a few years ago a bloke in the states was going to build a 24 string bass (no double courses or anything, 24 single strings) but had to scrap it because he got a $1000 fine for drunk driving lol. [/quote] Presumably the same night he had this brainwave

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1339002148' post='1682277'] this makes me happy! is the cab an easy lift? andy [/quote] I'm a bit of a weakling but I can easily lift it above my head! It's very large which can be a bit awkward, but the worst I've ever done is bounced a corner off a wall

As far as wattage goes... My markbass rig consists of a 500w head with one 8 ohm front ported 4x10. I have never had to turn the volume up to halfway on a gig before

Great review! I'm surprised to hear you didn't get an email response from Markbass though, their always been great to me even when I feel like I'm pestering them! When did you send it?

[quote name='EdwardHimself' timestamp='1338930732' post='1681396'] That's what I hate about bass amps- you want to show them off and put them through their paces at gigs but you always end up having to use whatever crap is at the venue lol. [/quote] Luckily sound guys always let me use the DI on my head

Looks like a bass, sounds like a bass, plays like a bass, played through a bass rig. That's good enough for me

[quote name='heminder' timestamp='1338914315' post='1681009'] i personally quite like the yellow/black scheme Markbass have going on. i'm not one who usually falls for aesthetics when buying bass gear but the black/yellow was what made me take notice the Markbass stuff. like a bold Lamborghini if you will. [/quote] I like it too! Someone once referred to my rig as 'the wasp'. I think with the amount of 'sting' you can get from the upper mid and treble presence it's a pretty good name

Dude just whack the VLE and VPF up, instant Ampeg sound

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1338648099' post='1677638'] He was that good, eh? [/quote] Compared to the other guy he plays quietly enough to sleep through, so yes!

Yeah the video basically summed up everything it's taken me 9 years to learn And I'm not too heavily into the solo bass world, but I do like to learn tips and tricks from the guys who are and then use them myself badly

The usual blisteringly awesome stuff [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noZiEJgwQrc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noZiEJgwQrc[/url]

Finally got the video embedded! not sure why it didnt work... Enjoy!

[quote name='Warwick_Official' timestamp='1338595864' post='1677142'] Hahaha! Thats great Big Stu! As we say at Warwick & Framus: If you can dream it, we can build it! lol. Today we're things more along these lines...made for Devin Townsend Thanks for the laugh!! [/quote] WOW! When was this made? I thought Devin had a Peavey endorsement? has he moved?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1338594015' post='1677130'] PS, and before the pedants chime in... [/left] [/left] [left][color=#333333][font=Arial, Verdana, sans-serif][size=3][size=4]... but I fully expect a row over this to thunder on for at least a week. Let's be 'aving ye...[/size][/size][/font][/color][/left] [/quote] Thanks for clearing that up. "Here Here" really grates me

If cabinets are provided at a venue and you have a seperate head and cab, it makes your carrying job even easier

If you're moving around a lot maybe a good sounding budget combo would be a better choice

Maybe Bass players are more obsessed with music/bass/gear than, say, guitarists, who are more interested in impressing non-musos with their newest pointy thing

Why not combine the best of both worlds and have a niche metal drumming forum called BassDrumChat? EDIT: Or even DoubleBassDrumChat?

[quote name='LeftyBiskit' timestamp='1338587225' post='1677040'] Bypass mode on a Boss TU maybe?? [/quote] Yep those things are a godsend! I had a Korg Pitchblack before I got my Zoom B3 which also has a silent tuning mode

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1338555919' post='1676300'] f*** 'em. They're just jealous. I mean what have they got? General guitar forums are mostly pants, so they have to traipse off to sites like MyLesPaul where they can argue about bumblebee caps and long-tongue neck joints. Just as 'geeky' as here, if not moreso. But do they lend each other gear? Do they look out for someone if they haven't posted for a while? Do they get together off-site for organised beers and bashes? Do they bollocks. And I stand by my earlier post. If someone takes the piss out of someone else for what they like, they're in line for a (metaphorical) fat lip, afaic. [/quote] This is a very angry post for you man! Very true though this is the only website I ever recommend to fellow musicians whether they be bass players or not
