Oh you lucky Barstool I had a V6 and it was so smooth sounding a perfect amp much better than my 400+.

They have internet sales as well so they should match online prices and being the UK's largest surely there buying power should easily see off most if not all competitors, I think where SC has gone wrong is the service, even if the prices are more you go back for a great service thats why I go to Electro Music.

I went in Preston branch to try a P bass asked if they could match a price from the UK and got told only within 10 miles of the store,might have been true 10-15 years ago but have they ever heard of the internet

I remember when SC first opened the Salford store,the stock,the prices and the service was better than everywhere I saw brands I'd never seen before quite fantastic, The present store is quite dreadful with very poor service (Could write a book on this!) and an aweful Stock of basses. If they are in trouble I'm not surprised the people will vote with there feet, but the retail trade is a much different place to the early '90 with Thomann and Co cleaning up.

Not a bad idea Walmart US have some great musical stuff in stock I brought back a load of strings and straps and was half tempted by the basses.

Only their complete lack of morals in stealing numerous companies' intellectual property and getting away with it because the cost of litigation is too high for most. I don't doubt that a lot of their gear sounds good and works well because it's been designed by some very reputable companies - assuming you get something that hasn't been made with compromised components or build quality then you're onto a winner as you don't have to foot the R&D bill as whoever buys Sansamp or Boss or QSC or Mackie etc does. Utterly parasitic business practice. Alex[/quote] Well to be honest its a business practice everyone uses from cars to basses, I own a bit of rack gear and some mixers from Behringer and get a bit fed up with Behringer bashing its all been said before and no one wins.

Gutted for you,My van got turned over last week and all my work tools nicked about 500 worth got took, did'nt even bother to ring the police to get my crime number

Thats great news a good bloke and a great shop,lots of things in there you do not see in any other Manchester shop.

I don't think its the skill of the workforce but the quality of the parts,I know a OEM factory in China that was making the older Behringer desks a few years ago and Behringer moved all production to there own factory to control quality issues and guess who moved into the old factory with the original workforce? Yamaha making there MG series desks now which has the precieved better name?

Good call you won't be sorry even your back will thank you

I'd go with the Eden Nemesis at the Bass Centre, 399 is quite a deal and just short of 50kg best bang for buck out there easily as good as MB cabs IMO.

Hi Ped well I'm about to order a A-B-Y pedal then I've got 3 channels to play with especially if I set the 2 channels quite far apart in the tone department, as for running the two channels together I've been told a few times it gives a really awesome fat tone and is the only way to run this amp so must be worth a try :lol:Stu- at the 'mo I've got Sylvania 6L6GC's and a couple of Mesa's in sounds good to me but not too happy with the mismatch of tubes(might change the Mesa's) but hey the Amp only cost me £500 and after my Roland DB900 sounds really good to my deaf ears.Theres a good review of tubes on- [url="http://www.watfordvalves.com/cgi-bin/documents/testreport_35.pdf"]http://www.watfordvalves.com/cgi-bin/docum...streport_35.pdf[/url] your Harmas are the dogs dangly's according to this! Check out this link too- [url="http://www.tubeampdoctor.com/index.php?language=en"]http://www.tubeampdoctor.com/index.php?language=en[/url] Some good prices Cheers Si

+1 to Oxblood All I can say is go for it every bass player should own at least 1 Valve amp in their life,Yea they can be quite heavy but when you can bleed notes into one another with feedback its turns the amp into another instrument .As for valve amp costs as Oxblood said theres not a lot to go wrong in fact I've owned about 5 valve amps in total and never even had a blown tube compared to about 5 S/S heads which 3 have all gone to the repairman so go figure.

Hi all! just got one of these -what the best way to run the channels together -ABY pedal or a lead splitter? Great new site Btw well done Ped and the gang!
