+1 for Lakland but an instrument is only going to be as good as the amount of money the manufacturer is will to spend on each instrument.

I've got one of these, it's shocking how light and easy to move around they are for a large cab

The bass i have is also a faker so genuine parts would be nice but if non genuine parts sound better or have the same quality for less then they'll be the ones i'll go for. Beedster i've been keeping a keen eye on your faker, sadly i don't have £450, if i did then it wouldn't be until the end of the month but the parts i'd be more than interested in

I'm looking for a wiring harness to fit in whats trying to be a rickenbacker 4001. Rickysounds are wanting to charge £90ish for a harness without jacks or £165! for one with. Any ideas where i could get one without removing a limb to pay for it.

I wish my relic'd car was worth more than a new one

Toledo Steel are looking for gigs, we're based in Southampton but happy to gig anywhere given the chance. If you're in a metal/rock band and looking for support then get in contact. https://www.facebook.com/toledosteelband

I'd be more than happy to use any of the newer class d amps as they'll all sound like my hands and my bass with various eq curves added. Every gig i play has a DI box before the amp, so the amp is only acting as a monitor and gives me the tone i need for the situation/venue and not always the tone i like. As much as i LOVE my valve amps and take them to every gig i play i also take a top quality DI with hopes that the soundman is in a good mood and knows his job

I've been looking for a tatty 5 string version after buying a Warmoth body that'll only fit Fender 5 string neck made before a certain date, sadly i don't know what that date is.....

Really nice looking Vox cabinet, if you could give me a price then i'll start convincing my girlfriend i need another speaker cab as the room full i already have isn't enough. I'm using two Fender valve heads, one a Studio bass which looks like a blackface bassman from a distance and a silverface bassman so having a cabinets wide enough to fit them on top is a consideration. Thanks for the link to the grill cloth, I was going to give my son of bertha cab a 60's facelift.

I'm part of a 60's tribute band, mainly playing british invasion type material and so really need a cab that looks the part but also sounds quite hifi as i also play a double bass in the 50's half of the set. I've been looking at the new Ampeg portaflex 15's but didn't know if anyone had suggestions.

Depending on the gig i'd take my double bass and Warmoth jazz 5, don't really like to think about the value as no one has ever taken any interest what my gear is

Just found this jem http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Blackface-Schematics-Twin-Super-Deluxe-Bassman-/190451510086?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c57cb6b46 Odd how shipping for a pdf can be £23.86

If NASA was to make a bass it be amazing,

Anyone own one of these? They look good for a £250 bass and with new pickups/bridge/tuners/electronics/covers they'd look and sound vintage but with the parts costing £500ish would it just be another very average bass with expensive hardware?
