Just for fun, I bought one. You read all the hype and sometimes get suckered into spending your hard earned on something doesn't do what it says on the tin. Have no fear with this little beastie. Using the dedicated 'bass' channel selector switch it can easily handle anything my Corvette throws at it. Ok, so we are talking 5 WPC (stereo output) but within those 5 W there is the clearest tone I have ever heard from an amp that small, even some of the so called 'practice' amps can't deliver like this does. Really, for home practice it is excellent. You know what happens when you turn down the volume on your gig rig for practice...sounds like sh*t don't it. This baby sounds 'big' but at sensible volumes. If you feel the need, theres a 'phone socket there...just in case. Dare I say it, there's some great guitar sounds on there as well for those so inclined. Lots of options via a USB / computer interface, not my thing really but some may find it interesting. Try one out for yourself but make sure it's the THR 10, not the THR 5 cos the 5 doesn't have the 'bass' channel option. There's also lots of other stuff missing like the USB etc etc. Disclaimer. I have no connection with Yamaha or any retail / wholesale outlets. I'm just a very satisfied owner of said amp.

Gimme gimme gimme.........

As long as the plugs are kept clean then you are unlikely to notice the difference between gold and nickel/chrome plating. My preference would be for your first option.

Just to resurrect an old thread...instructions can be found [url="http://www.djmmusic.com/mmDJM/Multimedia/180167%20Setup.pdf"]HERE[/url]

Just the one for me (at the mo). Warwick Corvette 4 string Active. 2003 vintage. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10285&st=1740"]Pic near the bottom of the page[/url]

[quote name='johnDeereJack' post='1263752' date='Jun 10 2011, 11:24 AM']The only thing ruining it for me is that dreadful clear PG. First thing I'd do if I won the bass would be to remove said PG and set fire to it so no-one else could defile such a nice looking instrument with it! [/quote] It comes with the original so its no big deal to swap them.........

He has also got a Fender Jazz up for grabs here... [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-USA-rare-Natural-Maple-neck-2009-/320709673882?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aabc9439a"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Jazz-Bass-USA...=item4aabc9439a[/url]

Not enough to make you soil your pants like some of the stuff posted here but it works for me. Amp is a GK MB210 that I bought off Ebay and arrived today. Can't see the controls as they are behind the Cornell guitar amp. Bass is a Warwick Corvette Active that I bought about 6 yrs ago and now I have a half decent amp I may get get round to learning how to play... The box on top is an Attenuator that I use with the Cornell. The Warwick is the only bass I have but I think that may change very soon.

Tel you what guys...its a cracker...not a mark on it and it plays like a dream. That will certainly satisfy my GAS for a while. Am I happy...you bet, like a dog with 2..........

[quote name='lonestar' post='1258631' date='Jun 6 2011, 05:11 PM']Congratulations. That's a real bargain. Is that jam on your smiley ?[/quote] Jam and cream...

[quote name='solo4652' post='1258072' date='Jun 6 2011, 09:01 AM']Yeah - sold for £175. Complete bargain.[/quote] Tell me about it...can't wait till wednesday.....

Mmmm...I wonder who got that then...

Now....I dont know how popular Nitro finish is on bass guitars but I would just like to pass on something that may be of interest. Virtuoso polish/cleaner [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Virtuoso-Guitar-Polish-Cleaner-Gibson-Nitro-Cell-/180669406561?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2a10bc5d61"]Ebay Seller[/url] [url="http://www.virtuosopolish.com/"]Virtuoso Website[/url] Anyone who has a nitro finish knows how hard it is to keep in good nick. I have used this on my Gibson ES335....(yea, I know its not a bass)....and its damn good stuff. I had a few white marks that I couldnt shift no matter what I tried....thought I would give this a go and lo and behold, white marks are nowhere to be seen. Expensive?, not really, a little goes a long way as they say. If you have a nitro finish that needs a little love, get some. Just to clear up...I am not associated with the seller in any way except as a satisfied customer.

Gerlitz Guitar Honey gets my vote.....

[quote name='skidder652003' post='1244991' date='May 25 2011, 11:31 PM']Welcome to the forum, it doesnt matter how crap you might think you are, never pass up the chance to join or form a band cos playing live is the best drug there is, ask anyone here...[/quote] An inspirational post, thanks. However, I doubt theres much call for a 55 yr old bass player who can't play.....

Partial solution [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=136836"]HERE[/url] All I really need now is a decent cab.

Well, I finally got through to Denis...the guy who builds these amps. His verdict...go for it. No risk of damage to the amp itself and as I would have a bass specific speaker plugged in theres no reason to be concerned.
