I love mine, best £160 ive ever spent

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='968264' date='Sep 26 2010, 11:53 AM']I normally carry all my own gear to gigs in my car but we were doing a big charity bash last night and we had a van. Collected at 5.30 and we had to rearrange some of the gear already in the van to get in the PA equipment stored at mine. All packed off we go to the gig where we arrive to find loads of people milling about inc' three bands (we all know each other) helping each other carry in various equipment... excellent camaraderie! As the PA belongs to me I end up setting most of it up myself before I turn to set my gear up; where's my bass? AAAARGH! 'Where the cufk is my BASS' Much searching turns up nothing; 13 guitar cases double checked to see if one is mine, van searched... panic ensues (on my part) and I'm frantically phoning home to ask if my bass is sitting on the drive, not there. My bass is nowhere to be found, utter devastation on my part and much self chastisement for being so cuffin lax and letting other people take charge of my gear (which I NEVER usually do). Then... phone call from the Mrs, it's in the garage down beside some shelving, someone obviously moved my bass to one side when we were loading the lights and PA. It's unlikely that you can know how bad that feels unless it's happened to you before! Any similar experiences?[/quote] Very scarey story john it wasnt red by any chance

That bass looks fantastic, i was always very interested in the 2 tek when they first came out, alwasys thought it was a natural evolution of the badass idea!! never caught on though, stupidly expensive and needed fitting by a tech who ad to cut a massive great hole in your bass, supposed to work really well though and ive heard nothing but good things about the cruise basses, i suspect the money you,ll get for this will buy you a fender jazz which is only 1/10 as good as this and you may be a wee bit regretful, good luck with the sale someones getting a corker, i really wanted to get a 2 tek for my 82 squire jazz and i still wonder if it would improve anything over the badass. cheers - lee

must say pete your avatar has reall brightened my evening who is she? sorry to derail i just wish EBS would make a little head, with two channels

i cant wait to see the results, could be like garlic bread "the future" very interesting idea, good luck with it - lee

I believe accugroove brought out limited editions of some of their cabs with the 6" driver being made of carbon fibre, the other speakers were just the same though, not sure how they would sound compared to the normal ones, just something i stumbled across whilst gear surfing, it is a very interesting idea.

I know its not allowed but id pick that red quilted mockingbird, ive always fancied an eagle, but for pointyness i think id go for the Zombie Revenge one very cool, i used to like the Bitch shape too i take it they dont do that as a bass anymore. BC Rich,s are very cool instruments though, id like to turn up to a dep jazz gig with one, just to see the looks of the musos faces

Ive used a gramma pad for nearly five years now, i was on the ships and was given a ashdown combo, which i had to use in a wooden room built for the band, awful amount of muddy uncontrolable bottom, i saw it in bass player in the ads at the back and managed to order one from dolphin music on ebay (for a lot more than they are going now ) and ive used it for every gig ever since, i absolutely adore it and i couldnt play without it, i must admit its looking a bit roadworn now, the foam does get torn, might have to get a new one eventually. +1 on the praise ! an indispensable tool

For me vox - Randy crawford Vox/keys - Mike Macdonald Guitar/Vox- Steve lukather Guitar/Vox -gary moore Keys/vox - greg phillinganes Bass/Vox - will lee Drums - jeff porcaro Trumpet - Randy Brecker Sax - Michael Brecker Fantastic chops and beautiful feel and soul, my dream team, love everything they do

Really sad news, ive never had the pleasure of meeting Si or had the oppertunity to PM him , but ive always enjoyed his posts, and always seemed a great guy RIP

Youll be fine mate, it just means the amp can be ran from 8ohms to 2 ohms so your 2 cabs will be fine, giving you 450 watts, mines an old one as it says 8-4 ohms , fantastic amp though really love it EBS just need to make a pocket version - lol
