Hi, Deliberating whether to get the tweeter version or not. I am pairing it with a Aguilar TH350, the high end on these I believe only goes to 4khz so if it isn't there at the source I ain't going to need the sparkle of the tweeter? although I suppose it's good to have on tap if I ever do change amps or feel the need for more treble. Decisions! On another note although related, some people appear to have bought direct form TKS, on the web it's says to go through Bass Gear now?

[quote name='thebassist' timestamp='1446807871' post='2902478'] Is it an American Standard or American Deluxe? In my opinion: 400 for either is a steal (assuming it's not actually damaged/broken, etc.) 600-900 for an American Standard is a fair scale and very competitive price for an American Deluxe. Depends on a few variables of course - and colour too - sunburst tends to be a little more expensive from what I've seen myself. [/quote] Just a standard pal. Could be worth the punt then. Thanks

I've been offered one of these recently, last years model in good nick. Whilst doing my research I found there was quite a difference in prices, some were 6-700 others 900, there was one even at 400, although it was a bit battered. What's the going rate? Tony Cheers

I'll be keeping a tab on this currently in the market for one. I recently had Mono 2B, quality was exceptional however, the storage was pretty poor. It was a very tight squeeze to get a micro amp in the side pocket. Your needs might be different to mine. I'm intrigued by the Reunion blues RBX range at the moment, they do a dual bass version.

Reunion blues continental, RBX range as is the fender custom shop which looks like the continental in all honesty. Bit pricy but not quite as pricy as the mono's.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1445668004' post='2893192'] I'd be very surprised at that. My bass is wider than a Jazz and just as long, with a similar offset body and it fits in the Contego fine [/quote] Yeah, read a few responses and somewhere saying they he no issues so whether it was a manufacturing issue on early models. Plenty of pics on google housed with a jazz!

[quote name='tonyclaret' timestamp='1445631497' post='2893064'] I mean the main carrying handle, the Protec has the two handles that join together by a bit of Velcro strapping. Having said that in this instance it does look good value, compared to the alternatives. Could be an option. [/quote] Following up on the contego, just read on TB that they don't fit Jazz basses? Unless they have changed the design recently which I don't think they have?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1445628404' post='2893034'] If you want a good case with plenty of room for things other than your bass, I can recommend the Protection Racket 7051, which is very competitively priced. I wouldn't want to walk far with it on my back, though. [/quote] Yeah seen these, they look quite bulky though?

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1445628054' post='2893025'] I find the Mono M80 a bit lacking in the storage department, compared to the Protec Contego, which is great. The Protec also has great padding, but I fear you may find it too heavy When you say one handle, do you mean a side carry handle? I'm not sure I've seen a case with more (or less) than one TBH [/quote] I mean the main carrying handle, the Protec has the two handles that join together by a bit of Velcro strapping.

Just got one of these second hand. After years of waiting for one at the right price I finally got one...wait for it. I didn't like it. There is no doubting the quality. I like the padding, the one handle, he finish. However, I found it quite bulky, weighty but most of all limited on storage. Struggled to get a class d micro head in there with a couple of leads and power supply. Perhaps I'm asking for too much. Might go down the single bag route now. Not sure how the other mono cases are for storage? Up for recommendations, light as poss, one handle, adequate padding. ;-)

Anyone got one of these? Thoughts? Looks well padded with good storage pockets.

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1445251436' post='2889884'] I would strongly recommend one of these: [size="2"]http://www.herculesstands.co.uk/p/auto-grab-guitar-stand-with-foldable-yoke?pp=24[/size] I've used one for years and all basses of shapes have been kept safe in it. [/quote] I was thinking compact as I won't need it out all of the time, but looking at the pics this does fold down a lot smaller than I envisaged. :-)

[quote name='SICbass' timestamp='1445196202' post='2889553'] That looks well risky to me. If your rig ist tall enough (and most are) I've always liked the Markbass Bass Keeper. Dead safe, and so easy to transport. [/quote] Can't argue you with that choice, I have two for live work. One of my better investments for sure. Want something for home.

[quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1398417487' post='2433828'] Here's a quick sneak peak of my pair of S112's that I received last week, I'll probably get a NCD thread up over the weekend to share my full experiences and i'll post a couple pictures of my own! Here's the pic Tommy sent me before they shipped [/quote] Is the above styling not available anymore, are they all based on the v frame now? All look great but do like the above ever so slightly more ;-)

Hi, I've been looking for a small guitar stand and like the look of this. However it looks like the supporting arms are fixed. Wondering if it will hold the unsymmetrical shape of the Jazz body in place. Anyone got one and using it with a Jazz? Cheers
