    I have honestly considered it... I don't need it though, but then, did I really need any of it? I doubt it, but I'm glad I've got it! I've been through about 7 amps over the years, but this one is here to stay!

    A 2x10 would be 800 watts, so I could just use it on its own when at home, or when I'm too lazy to take the 6x10 to gigs. I originally only wanted a 2x12 cos I had my Ampeg 6x10, but teh price made teh 6x10 silly not to be bought, so got it and sold on my Ampeg.

I keep mine in an plastic army box (one of the ones they drop from planes) and the hinges have made 2 nice holes in the tolex on the side, down to the wood, bit of a pain but hey we buy them to use and abuse them.

    I should really get the cover for my 2x12 as well.[/quote]

    I ordered my flightcase from Castle cases, cos I've had stuff from them before and was really happy with it. £144 delivered, just rang up with the dimensions and got it all sorted.

    I'm a funny b*gger for trying to keep my gear in top nick, so definitely wanted the head flightcased before the next gig, I decided against a flight case for the cab, cos it would hide the green and make it far too heavy

    We'll have to get our amps together in a few months for a Christmas card picture :)[/quote]

    Yeah, done some recording and had a few practices, sounds lovely, over the moon with it, but its too tempting to turn it up louder than needed :)

    Together our amps would look mighty festive! lol

    Ordered a flightcase for the head, and a roqsolid cover for the cab today. I've been sorely tempted to ring up and see if they will make me a matching horizontal 2x10, for home and for slapping on top of the 6x10 when I wanna go overboard... must resist!

    You're wrong there, being a mod should change that, as you are representative of the forum, how would you expect other members to listen to you if you don't present yourself as a fair and unbiased point of contact and person of responsibility.

    As a mod on a few forums in my years, the unfortunate thing is you do sometimes have to bite your tongue for the forums greater good, and put aside personal opinions.

    To be honest it is bad form to go publishing content of PM for all to see, set fast rule or not, its just not very good.

    [quote name='Shockwave' post='1326407' date='Aug 4 2011, 02:05 AM']Technically the post before me was also subject of a PM to me, so really the other guy did it first. Should I ban him for it?[/quote]

    You are a mod, he isnt, will you let him ban you for it?

  4. [quote name='Doddy' post='1324730' date='Aug 2 2011, 07:34 PM']So if you turn up with a Jazz or a Precision does it mean you don't take pride in your performance? Let's be honest
    about it,the reason people use Fenders is because they are good working instruments that sound great and can take
    a beating. Just because I favour my Fenders(especially the Jazz 4 and 5) over my more expensive instruments doesn't
    say anything about the quality or pride of my performance. I don't care if someone turns up with a custom whatever-
    I'm more interested in if they can play than how much money they have.[/quote]

    +1 on this.

    I have better gear than I should have if you go off my playing, I may not be the worlds best bassist, but its something I love doing, which is why I put money into it, but at no point do I kid myself that it makes me better! :)
