Yep - I've had the same issues on ebay. Never for geetars fortunately, but still applicable I think the most sensible answers have already been posted, and I hope it works out for you. But, this is what I did one time... Find out the sellers real name (its often best to check their paypal details for this as its linked to their bank account and people also think its more secure than ebay); once you have this you can use it in conjunction with the 'item location' on ebay. Hopefully this won't give you 'John Smith of London'. Then you can use 192 or other electoral register-type websites to pin down a list of potential buyers. It sounds like a long shot but its worked twice for me. Both times they couldn't have been more surprised that I'd pinned them down, and the goods were always forthcoming Good luck!!

Hi all, I'm fairly (ok, very) new to this board, but I've been playing for about 14 years now. I've found myself in a bit of a situation regarding my live sound and would be keen to hear any advice you might have. I'm playing in a reasonably serious covers band, doing weddings and events. Mainly rock and pop stuff (Killers, Muse, Beatles, Ben Folds). Currently I'm carting around my SVT4 Pro, and using it as a preamp only - straight to the desk (we use a pro sound engineering company with about 10-25kw FOH, so plenty of headroom for the bass). The irony of using 'the world's most powerful amplifier' as a preamp only is beginning to dawn on me - as is the fact that it weights a tonne!! I'm considering keeping the SVT for home use only, and getting myself a preamp to tour around with. Firstly I considered getting myself a Line 6 Pod Pro as a preamp/fx in one; but i fear whether the tone will really be there when i need it?? So then I'm thinking about the Tech21 RBI... but fearing that the tone/options will be limited. Should I get the Tech21 for tone AND the Pod for fx, or is this overkill ?? Any other gear recommendations I should consider?? Cheers N.
