[quote name='Mexicola' timestamp='1395590592' post='2404070'] Im thinking about tuning 3 steps down to B E A D. Will a 50-110 gauge set be alright for this or should I look at heavier gauges? Also, should my bass be re-setup to accomodate the difference in tension? [/quote] Generally, you'd want to use the bottom 4 strings from a 5 string set, so a B string between 125 to 135 gauge. Of course it depends on whether you like lighter gauge strings and the scale length of your bass! And yeah, you'd generally want to adjust the intonation and the neck relief for a different tuning

In my experience, Markbass heads sound good through pretty much any cab! I'm really loving mine through the Peavey Pro 410, sits in a metal mix better than the Markbass 410 (basically, a more pleasing low/midrange presence)

Lovely looking Ric! The one I tried out a couple of years ago was just like this, but the fretboard was nowhere near this stunning

At those prices you might even be better off buying both and sending back the one you don't like... Who knows, you might be able to get something special combining the two!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1395243657' post='2400132'] The thing is a lot of shop/office workers will fall for it and capitulate. Fair enough, lose £2.50 for good customer relations, but £117 x 10 units! Not going to happen [/quote] You can bet I wouldn't honour it!

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1395242488' post='2400111'] They went mental about trading standards and false advertising. [/quote] I love when people get all high and mighty about this. Or when they say they will "see you in court" over something like £30

It sounds like the store assistant was trying to regain some control by making it sound like he was doing you a favour, instead of saying "Oh sorry, my mistake" ... I mean what was he going to do otherwise? Argue with you and lose a sale altogether? :

I'm still really tempted to get a VT bass and see if I prefer it to the Programmable Sansamp... It's not like I don't have 3 other drive pedals on the board to play with

Fantastic deal! I paid £250 for mine

I agree, send it back! Thomann have good customer service from what I've heard, and there's no use wasting your money repairing something that you only just bought.

It was either the SVT 3 Pro, or the 7 Pro. Absolutely bloody awful tone, and no volume whatsoever!

Tech 21 VT Bass will do the job!

I clicked on this hoping it would be a rant about a dodgy seller

Peavey used to do this with their Cirrus custom shop, wasted far too many hours on that!

For me, it's any bass with passive electronics and a low enough action!

[quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1394718821' post='2394373'] I go buy a new cab? [/quote]

Try the King Billy, they have bands on all the time!

Definitely black!

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1394636994' post='2393578'] Look up the definition of 'omnidirectional'. Not only is port output omnidirectional, so is that from the cones up to about 200Hz. [/quote] I assumed everything was directional, and rear ports worked on reflections and if the cab was touching the floor or not. Good to know!

Welcome!! The true test is managing to acquire more basses than you actually need and not getting a telling off

I always thought front ports had more "throw" but I'm hardly technical minded

The markbass 104HF is a huge 4x10 and the low end on it is ridiculous!

I just ordered 20 Grolsch washers in BLACK for a fiver. Cheers Musky!
