[url="http://www.wengerna.com/browse/product.jsp?prod_id=8238&cat_id=14&cat_name=Wenger%20Gear&sub_cat_id=63"]Bought this one[/url] It has a good section for tools, spares etc, a padded section foy my wireless, and sections for leads, DI box, ipod, my microtrack etc. Very well made, a great shoulder strap, should last for years. My LMII goes in its own bag anyway. Well pleased with it C

My blacks do not stock that bag. Bugger. Found a nice one in Debenhams of all places, but £50, so we will see...need to ponder it.

I think I might look seriously for a 700RB210. Do they have a clear, deep sound? And has anyone tried the neo versions@ Chris

lol, yeah, when I used my old big MB head, Korg Rack Tuner and wireless all in a Gator 4U it kind of made it easier (if not heavier). Still, only need a little rig now, so this will do nicely. Thanks for your help

Cool, I will nip in to blacks tomorrow (I work around the corner). I need a new bag for my Shure SLX wireless, toolkit, leads, ipod, microtrack, leads, bla bla bla (my LMII goes in the MB bag, as you know), as the strap on my RokSak bag broke, so this looks to be the ticket. LMII bag high on right shoulder, Blacks bag lower on same shoulder, 2 bass gigbags in right hand, cab in left hand. Job done. Cheers Chris

how much was the bag dave?

I might chime in here - I was going to start a new thread just now, and spotted this. Hop ethis is not seen as a hi-jck - I think it will help all concerned - I am pondering getting a kickback combo myself, but one that is big enough to gig with. The MB 210 seems like an option, as do the various GK ones, but are there any others worthy of consideration as a pro-level combo, with kickback facility? I like the idea of carrying my whole rig in one hand, plonking it down, plugging in and hey presto C

nice Luke. And you should hold on to that drummer - very nice playing

I need to add something to the above - I do not own a P at all, but do own a USA Jazz 4 string and my Stingray 5 string. I take both to all gigs and practices, but the Stingray get the nod for a number of reasons: 1..it is a five string, whihc I need to some tunes, and can't be arsed changing basses 2..it plays like a dream, a bit better than the Jazz (although that is no slouch either) 3..being the SR5, it has a 3 position selector. In the centre position it does a reasonable J sound - not the same, but does the job. The Bridge position is classic Stingray 4, whihc is great, and the Neck position is a powerful rock sound. And the 3-band EQ gives a pretty wide variety of tones - enough for me, anyway. 4..the Ray has a tighter bottom end, whihc in the reality of most gigs, I find useful, since boominess can be tamed in the way that is not possible with the Jazz, I feel The only thing the Ray lacks is the classic passive tones of a P or J, and at home I usually love the sound of the J bass, but in a band my Ray is the one for me, at least. What do others reckon? C

Jazz.... ...but I find my SR5 better for my covering needs (function stuff..you know the type of thing) -the fivers are a lot mer versatile than the SR4 But, yes, Jazz IMHO :-)

nice ray

John - it is actually quite deep, but yes, it is very portable indeed. It is really pretty fine on its own, and only loses a litte llow end "feel" if you know what I mean. But at the end of theday, it is reall good, fine forrehearsals and PA supported large gigs. I cannot say enough good things about thelarger cab tho - stilla one hand carry, and a brilliant all-round cab. Cheers Chris

cheers luke. I love the Stingray especially - a great bass for all occasions - it is one I will never sell.

Here is my rig. Modular, with a Littlemark 2, driving a Traveler 102p and a Standard 102HF. For rehearsals/small gigs, the traveler is the one, and I use both when things get serious. I stand the traveler on its side to get it up close to my ears. [attachment=718:0706160009.JPG] [attachment=719:0706160010.JPG] And it all sounds rather lovely, whilst being super light. I will gladly answer any questions for those who want ot know more about this gear. Chris

So, here are my 2: Stingray 5 - ltd edition. MY main gigging bass, becaue it plays so well and sounds so right: [attachment=716:0706160012.JPG] And here is my USA Jazz 4: [attachment=717:0706160011.JPG] Both standard, both great machines. Thanks for looking Chris

I must endorse these chaps too - brilliant service, great prices. I always look to these first

JAmie pm sent - I can do this.

and also,if I were inyour shoes, I would now be thinking that I have a bodged together cab, with the resale thus potentially affected. Just another merry thought. Sorry I am being a bit blunt, but I am sick of poor service and workmanship these days. £800!!! bloody hell, you would want to to plated in gold...or at least or a standard higher than you could build yourself. Very disappointing - I feel for you.

I am absolutely amazed at this - your patience Dave, for one thing, and the total shambles that is unfolding. What is wrong with these folk. It is FAULTY, you should not be paying to get it sorted, shipping or anything like that at all. It ia absolute B**locks, the whole thing stinks. I would have demanded a full refund ages ago, striaght to Nick Epifani with the news of what the parties he relies upon are doing to his good name. But then I am just impatient and expect things to be right at this sort of money. Hats off to you mate, but I think the hard line needs to be taken here. It is appalling, dreadful service. So what that it is in Germany, that is not your problem, full stop.

interesting. Dont know whagt you guys are listening on, but I have my PC linked to my studio monitors/headphones. Although the bass sounds a bit trebbly, I can not agree that it is badly mixed. The overall sound is very clean and clear, with plently of Mr Kings bass in there. On some of the clips (there are others up there) it is clear enough to pick out the synth patterns (eg Lessons in Love) alongside and distinct from the bass guitar. It is just a different tone, but there is nowt wrong with the mix imho and on my full range speaker system. :-) Might get the DVD anyway.

bit of a thread derail - which Havens are you doing - I did most of them last year so there is a possible heads up about some of the rooms, assuming you have not been there in the past yourself - pm me if you like. We would always assume that there was no PA support provided by the venue, and take our own. Quite often the ents folk would have either broken the house system, or have no idea how to use it for a band. So we would either use our own totally, or sometimes back this up by taking stereo outs into their system as reinforcement. A pain really , as tjhey are all a lonh way, and the money is pretty average, and that is being kind... Fantasy Island (Igoldmells) and Selsey are 2 notable exceptions where they do a full mix for you through their own system, but these are not Haven Later Chris

I find that mine is just great. I used to have a P501 - the new version is the TA501 I think with the tube compressor - and that had the same EQ as the SA450. I ahve to saty I have not missed it at all sine using the LMII. The simplicity is just great. I would like a mute switch, but hey ho. I will be amazed if you dont find it to be all you need - at the end of the day, there wil be small compromises in all gear, but fir portability and power this is fine for me, and I uaually just use a sinlge 8ohm cab in a loud ish band with 2 keys players etc, and it is never left wanting. ANd the MB bag only has holes on the bottom, so if it is on your back the rain wont get in! Cheers Enjoy! Chris
