[quote]...well we did discuss his own frustrations with what he called misinformation appearing on the internet surrounding his dealings with customers. I could see that he felt he'd been burned (without wishing to go into any further detail) by a few extremely vocal individuals in the past.[/quote] I know for a fact (because I saw an email he sent) that (at least in the past)he considers me one of these 'extremely vocal' individuals. I have met Chris and found him a very pleasant person, he even came to my house to deliver a bass personally the first time I dealt with him. I think he makes among, if not the, finest basses that can be bought. However I wish he would stop it with the 'victim' mode. I am a very easy going individual but being Scottish I will most definitely not stand back when I feel I am having the piss taken out of me, which is what happened a couple of times with Chris. I understand that he may well have been having personal problems but we all have issues to deal with, it's a tough world and we all live in it. Perhaps [b]he[/b] needs to read some of the past threads here and on Talkbass and take on board the fact that he has not come up to an acceptable standard at times in the customer care department. Perhaps he needs to acknowledge that fact and move on. Steve Mc Kinnell

Just bought a Tech 212 from bassbloke. Total pleasure to deal with - upfront, straight and makes a great cup of coffee. Highly recommended. (Oh yeah the cabs brill too!!!)

It's the lightest one I've heard of too - the only thing that puts me off Celinders is the weight - getting puny in my old age! Mind you the Precisions I had were light, but never played or seen a lighweight jazz. Fantastic basses!

wombat [quote]Since last week I own a Puma Tecamp 1000 (2x500w) which I run through an Epifani UL4X10 and a 2x12 (both 4ohm). I'm really very enthousiastic about the sound and the power.[/quote] Wow - amazing! I love my Puma but I'll bet that sounds monumental. I have the Epi410UL and I've agreed to buy Bassguys Tech 212 cab. Now I need a Puma 1000 and I'll be set. What do you reckon to the new BonaFide amp @400w per side into 4 ohm and 800w bridged into one 4 ohm cab. Lots of options. Fantastic gear!! I'm really excited about the big tone from this light rig.

flychris [quote]So, is that sound you were looking for ?[/quote] Yes it is. Quick, deep and punchy! Really good tone at home anyway so I'll have to see how it sounds in the band. I'm pretty sure it's going to be great tone and it should also be loud enough. deksawyer The taste knob reminds me of the Thunderfunk 'Timbre' knob - very effective. I guess we must play loud. This was me at home yesterday! The Roscoe seems to be much louder at the same settings than the Skjold but both are plenty loud(even though it doesn't feel right cranking everything too high). The Glockenklang was the same - a very linear increase with switch position but getting silly loud up past say the two 'o clock position. Many other amps I've had were as loud as they were going to get at say 12o'clock. Really pleased with it.

I have one of the Puma500 amps and it is pretty impressive. I've seen the new Bona version which is 800w bridgeable into 4ohm (my Epi 410UL is 4 ohm)but I haven't seen a price yet? Here's a pic of my rig.

Don't think they have Tecamp in stock but they are close to the distributors. I was just making enquiries and they were able to do a great deal.

Well I'm in. So far Well Impressed! First lightweight that has really satisfied me tone wise and sounds like a bigger, heavier amp! Sounds great through the Epi and the BagEnd115/AggieDB112. Great deal and service through BassMerchant. Some Pics..........

Bought Paul's Aguilar immaculate DB112 yesterday. A pleasure to do business with Sir!

Birdy Ya big Berg antino snob!!!

I hope that's tongue in cheek mate! I waited three weeks for you to find the time to pick the amp up - no problem. After one day you're nagging for the manual. While you're waiting........

Don't think he has a thread but he bought my Glockenklang. Nice to meet you - liked the kilt! Cheers

Fender Sting sold to Col. Total gent as always. Highly recommended! Look forward to seeing it gigged - thanks again.

HaHa. Glad you like it!

[quote]It's a poker game ... but the one where you've got the 4 1*[/quote] Yes I like what I'm hearing. Just a matter of selling a few bits and checking out prices. Best prices I've seen were Musik Produktiv. Are they OK to deal with? (By the way D I'll be looking out for the Puma ad)
