I think its difficult to be completely happy with anything now that we have the internet - different gear is just a click away, the latest fads, the latest products, it just feeds gas, the grass is always greener etc. Personally I bought a markbass rig 3 or 4 years ago, the local shops didn't have anything that I really fancied and this brand was causing a stir on the net at the time. Never been completely happy with it. Sounded ok but not enough punch for me. I've off loaded the cabs now (which were maligned by some) and have ordered a Barefaced Super12T, I'm hoping that will make a difference. Fingers crossed!

Nice rig! I've been gassing for a Barefaced cab myself for quite some time. Off loaded both my Markbass cabs this week so am laying down a deposit on a super12T tonight. Sorry for the slight derail - I'm quite excited and had to tell someone!

Phil bought my Markbass 151HF and came all the way from Bury to collect it. We had a cup of tea and a chat about all things bass. He's a real nice guy and I wouldn't hesitate to do business with again. Cheers Phil - that 151 will sound huge with your 4*10!

Some awesome boards on here lately! Still gassing for a B3k but need new cabs now! I'll get my mitts on one eventually!

I thought both amps sounded sweet and the pedal sounded ok too - although I prefer hearing doomy riffs as opposed to solo's.

Joinmyband is pretty good. I got interest from 4 bands within the first 24 hours of posting an advert and ended up joining one of them. Certainly beats the good old days of trawling through the dusty musicians wanted adverts in music shops and calling bands up to find the vacancy was filled 2 years ago!

Second transaction with Mel who has just bought a cab from me - very easy to do business with, would recommend no hesitations.

I'm sure I Am Not Excane has got one of these amongst his massive boutique collection and iirc he really rated it.

I couldn't listen to it all - not my bag. What I heard did have its moments though. But I can recognise that he's a serious talent, to be able to play like that, totally off the cuff - and to keep it interesting for people who do genuinely love that kind of music - wish I could do that!

Congrats on your new cab! I'm looking at going down the barefaced route so any reviews / further thoughts would be gratefully received. Can't decide between the compact or the super 12, decisions decisions!

Established heavy Rock band Face for Radio are looking for a new bass player. They have some quality tunes, interesting basslines and are a great bunch of lads. Many influences from Hendrix, RHCP, Tool, White Stripes, Led Zep, Metallica etc. They are looking to continue gigging with a view to getting in the studio in a couple of months time. If you're interested PM me. ta.

And here's me thinking a bit of bubblewrap and a bin bag should do the job!

Thanks for the above. I don't have the original boxes but will pop into local music shop on saturday and see if they have anything spare.

I'm looking to post a couple of my cabs and am wondering if anyone has any tips on packaging - what to get and where to buy? I'm selling a 2*10 and a 1*15 and likely posting via a courier. My initial thoughts are bubble wrapping them to death but I'm not sure. Never posted a cab before. Anyone got any tips?

Phnarr Phnarr!

If I can sell my Markbass cabs I'm gonna get one of these. It sounds perfect for my needs. Not sure if I need a tweeter though.

Ignore me - I misread the last post! Glad its worked out for you!

Lovely bass!

There's never gonna be a 'best bassist' poll that everyone can agree with. It's a completely flawed concept - far too subjective.

[quote]Isn't the idea that you can't really hear it? It's getting rid of the rumble you can't hear in the first place, so your speakers can work more efficiently, no?[/quote] I get ya, but shouldn't a more efficiently run cab sound noticeably better? Sorry if I sound sceptical here - I'm not at all. Like I said, I've been tempted by this pedal before - its just that there are few demos and reviews to rely on. I think it may be more of benefit if your speakers are farting like Dannybouy said.
