Cheers @mattp that's exactly what I needed. Will stack nicely then. My amp puts out its full power onto 2.7 ohms (Blackstar Unity elite 700)

Just been in the situation of which cab to buy. Went with Barefaced and very glad I did. Even with the price rise, still 'cheap' compared to Bergantino if you can actually find a new Berg in UK. There's a little bit of Vanderkley kicking about and no chance of Mesa for several months. I waited 16 weeks for My Barefaced and throughout, kept looking for alternatives. There were none! Everything is out of stock and long lead times.

This is the older generation cab (not the newer Super Midget). Anyone got one, can give me accurate measurements? Barefaced website says 19.5 inches or 48cm height. Well, 19.5 inches certainly ain't 48cm LOL I'm hoping it will stack nicely with my Super Twin if turned horizontally.

Just bought a bass pre/DI from Jonny. Easy transaction, excellent communication and quick delivery. Couldn't be better!

shipping was included as the order was above their free shipping value. On an order value of around £153, the following additional charges were applied on delivery Import VAT = £34.62 UK Duty = £5.57 UPS Transaction Charges = £11.50 Thomann displayed charges on their website no longer include VAT for UK customers.

Hi All Just a quick heads-up on my own experience today - UPS man came to the door with my parcel from Thomann and requested for charges to be paid (import duty, VAT and transaction handling charge) - He couldn't hand over the parcel till I pay the charges (cash to the delivery man or on-line by card) I ordered parts from Thomann to the value of approx £150 and got stung for £51 charges. Totally forgot we're not in EU anymore. Thomann prices not quite the bargain they seemed!

Sorry... bit late to this thread but might be useful for someone in future... When I tried this a few years ago I contacted Warwick and they said the MEC active pickups I had in my 94 Fortress were rated to 18v but the MEC 2 band electrics were rated to 9v. I was replacing the electrics anyway so ran MEC pickups with EMG circuitry and used 2 batteries in series to get 18v I noticed no difference in sound quality but the battery life was terrible! I went back to 9v

Thank you A.G.E.N.T.E Very useful and informative answer. I replaced the badly pitted/tarnished bridge on my 94 Fortress a few years ago and now I realise I've replaced an original brass one with alloy LOL! No casting marks on the original so must have been machined from a solid block.

An interesting idea...! I'm Gloucestershire area, have several 5 string basses with different pickup combinations, fretted and fretless, multi fx, midi bass pedals and midi bass. Have also been thinking of getting Electric Upright so a few different texture options there! Salisbury a bit far away maybe?

Dave is a quality guy - very helpful and good communication throughout the transaction. Item arrived in pristine condition in original packaging with all manuals/lead etc. He obviously looks after his gear!

Sorry I'm late to the party.... only just seen this advert but thought it was worth getting in touch in case you (or anyone you know) is looking for a bassist in the future. I'm in Cirencester, formerly Pro/Semi Pro with covers bands doing the North East working men's club circuit. Basses include Warwick fretted and fretless 5 stringers with a versatile amp rig that goes from a compact 1 wedge shaped cab right through to a concert sized multiple cab setup, I also play a bit of keyboards and have a midi setup which allows me to play keyboard sounds either direct from the bass or from midi foot pedals. I'm looking to add an electric upright bass in the near future too so some paid gigs would be nice to finance that! Get in touch if you're still looking! Many thanks. Regards, Tim

As someone who graduated from the "You hum it, I'll play it..." School of Music I can only agree. My father who was also a bass player only taught me one thing... "It's not what you play, It's the notes you leave out that's important...

Hi Dan Sorry to hear you're not getting much response from Bassists. It sounds like a great opportunity but probably the bass pedals/multi instrumentalist thing putting people off. It's something I would love to do but I think location/pressures of work etc will count against it. Is this going to be a full-time pro or semi-pro thing or just an occasional project and what kind of geographic area do you envisage playing (national, local, south-east?). You mention you're looking at 2013 before being gig ready - if you still haven't found the right person by December and you think it might be worth my while (plenty of gigs/reasonable pay) then give me a shout. I'm located in Gloucestershire so about 1.5 hrs away. My current gear includes: Fretted and Fretless bases Roland PK-5 midi bass pedals Keyboards and sound modules Acoustic and electric guitars Looking to add electric upright bass to this list shortly as well. My current band seems to have fizzled out but if you check out the pics on our website you'll see me playing the bass and bass pedals on-stage so I'm just the kind of person you're looking for.
