So the brand "Kaces" have recently announced a new bass bag which holds 2 basses. I have searched everywhere for these cases but I can't seem to find them in the UK, even though the cases were advertised in a UK magazine! The Kaces website only seems to have information about US stores that stock them. Has anyone seen/heard of these cases before or anything similar? I've attached a picture below for reference.

I havn't played that exact model, but I've played an MIM Jazz Deluxe 5 string which is quite similar. They play very well and are well balanced, although the MIM fenders are a little heavier. The low-B really growls but if this is your first 5 string then you may find it a little uncomfortable playing on the low-B (it might be just me). The MIM Fenders are very good quality instruments and have fairly good resale value so if you don't like it, you can easily make the money back. Hopefully this helps.

Just wanted to chuck my opinion into the fray. I did some recording a few months back, first time recording with my current band and we were recording a 4 track EP. We never expected the best quality recordings but the quality is still pretty damn awesome. I took my Ampeg with me so I could get the sound I like, but the producers equipment didn't seem to react well when we DI'd the Ampeg. The guy didn't have a bass cabinet so we couldn't mic it up, he just put me through a Sansamp BDDI. Now I wasn't really happy about the new setup, but it was time saving and I ended up being able to dial in a half decent tone. I was happy with the recordings until we got the mixed versions back and I realised that my bass actually sounded incredibly thin compared to usual, and that alot of sections in the EP sound very empty. In the end, it's all about the time you have and doing what's best for the band. If you are paying for the sessions, you need to be able to be ready to record as soon as possible, otherwise it's money going down the drain. That's why I'm always happy to DI my amp, as I get the sound I like and it takes maximum of a few minutes to get everything sorted out. Just my opinion.

I have been using the exact same Ampeg rig that you've got your eyes on. It is 100% worth it! Very versatile, and very loud. If you lose out on this one, I'd suggest you give ebay a quick look over, I found mine on there and it cost me £300. Half the R.R.P. and it's in perfect condition, came with a rack case too. That's the problem with SVT-3s, they don't have much resale value, but this can be used as an advantage. Just what I'd do, I have never played the Ashdown ABM so I can't help there.

Greetings all. I am Jak, bassist for the Brighton based Hard Rock unit "Halfway Down The Highway". I've been playing for nearly 4 years now, and I've been through basses, amps and FX and I've finally settled on my perfect rig. I'm 18 years old, currently doing a BTEC Music Technology course. I have been a member of my current band since it's creation just over a year ago and we are taking things slow, getting gigs every so often and just enjoying the music we make. We have recorded an EP which can be found on our myspace [url="http://www.myspace.com/halfwaydownthehighway"]Here[/url]. I was recommended this forum after discussing equipment with a bassist I met at my local practice studio. I used to be a member of Talkbass, but it is quite annoying considering it's American so buying and selling is difficult. My current equipment includes: Basses: Fender MIM Deluxe Jazz Bass Modded (Badass II bridge, black pickguard) - An absolute beast, growls like no tomorrow Ibanez ATK 3EX1 (ATK300) - A limited edition US model with a metal pickguard. Has a floral pattern and eagle engraved on the pickguard Amp: Ampeg SVT-3 Pro Ampeg SVT410 Cabinet Pictures attached below for those who are curious I think that covers everything for an introduction If you wanna know more, just ask.
