The 550 is a briliant amp though, personally I wouldn't buy it just for the valve pre-amp, I'd rather go for the 2001RB (I think the 2001RB has a good warm tone and even break up without sounding harsh, they also sound very similar), but if you want the memory banks between the different patches then it does the trick and sounds stunning. [/quote] Cheers for that. Amazing that, I wonder what Soundslive would do if I ordered one off their website! Thanks for the info.

I'm seriously thinking of downsizing the 'rig of doom' and having heard the Fusion 550 in action and being impressed by the authority of the tone, I was wondering whether any Basschatter's had anything to say about the Fusion 1050?

I'm fairly new to the whole db thing, but my Stagg EUB sounds great (to my ears anyway) through my PJB Briefcase. I know that the Briefcase might be a bit out of your price range but I'd certainly recommend you give one a go before you part with any money

What a simply brilliant idea! Looks much neater than my 'folded duster' solution, and with two teenage girls in the house I'm sure I wont have to look too far to find a donor hair slide

Just to throw my two'penneth, I'd try a stand before you buy one. Reading the manual for my PJB Briefcase and trying out a few 'home' tests, it appears that PJB gear needs to live on the floor (my Briefcase looses its bottom end when placed on a coffee table, Mrs JPJ lost her marbles when I placed the Briefcase on said coffee table ). I also know of a couple of local lads who stand their cabs on empty flightcases and then wonder why they have uncontrolable amounts of bass boom.

Yep mine arrived today too. Neatly folder in a plastic bag inside a jiffy bag envelope. Nice quality, good embroidering, will be worn at next weeks gig as I don't think it'll look right with my Stetson at tonight's gig :-)

I'd be so tempted to pair that with an 8x8 cab recovered in the same livery for an optical illusion stack Seriously though, that looks so much better than the stock Terror bass heads that I cant believe Orange arnt doing a similar option. Well done, lovely to see something original

Excellent, but if I could play as well as that I'd definately smile more

Wow thats excellent! That's got me looking at the terror bass in a whole new light. Have you been able to source any orange tolex to cover it and how are you getting access to the DI?

Thanks for the info guys, now on eBay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120777227649"]here[/url]

[quote name='Subthumper' post='1363060' date='Sep 5 2011, 04:41 PM']Hi all, I was'nt sure where to put this but as the title suggests I want to know what the value of a piece of timber is. I have been given a piece of mahogany that has been rested for about 25 years and measures approx 2'6" x 6' x 2". It is quite dark and nicely figured.(oh and bloody heavy) I'll probably never get time to make anything out of it so I was angling on either selling it or exchanging it for something I need or can use. So if any of you luthier types could give me an approximate ballpark value I would be most appreciative. Cheers Just[/quote] I have no idea of value but would be interested in acquiring this. Are there any shakes or cracks in the wood? Also, do you have any pictures to further tempt me with?

I've two original 8 ohm 125w PAS manufactured 10" speakers from a Goliath II cabinet. I was going to keep these as spares but she who is to be obeyed is bleating about them cluttering up the house and therefore I'm thinking of letting them go. Does anyone have any idea about what these are worth (if anything at all)?

As an ex 750X owner, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat. Great loud solid gigging amp, reliable and lots of tonal options. FWIW I like the aural enhancer circuit and it can be used to 'give a little sparkle' in those difficult rooms/stages without messing about with the semi-parametric mid. Only got rid of mine in part ex on the rather wonderful top of the line SM1500. The idea of the 750x into the Goliath Senior sounds great to me, the full 750w into one cab that is tall enough to hear on the loudest of stages. I'd say go for it, but then again I've never tried Eden so can't give a like for like comparison!

That finish is just gorgeous! Have you considered 35" scale though? I find it makes a difference on a five string with Jazz pickups
