    [quote name='BassManKev' post='149566' date='Mar 1 2008, 06:57 PM']i dont think anyone would get £399 for one, £200-£300 is about right, so its a great price[/quote] I would think your right, However......

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' post='146651' date='Feb 25 2008, 03:30 PM']I think they may be made by the guy who trades as "Benton Music" on ebay, but I might be wrong! From what I recall, if it is him they are alder bodies.[/quote] I wonder if the Benton name refers to the Harley Bentons you can buyfrom Thoman. Maybe he buys them cos they are so cheap and mods them

    [quote name='Ray' post='148861' date='Feb 29 2008, 10:56 AM']Still available. Surely a bargain at £200![/quote] I just bought one of these for a ridiculous low amount because the guy was extremely desperate. There is one for sale on ebay for £399 as I write this. They are worth well in excess of what your asking and whoever gets it will be getting a right bargain Ian

    [quote name='jakesbass' post='148106' date='Feb 27 2008, 09:20 PM']The Greenhouse, Didsbury Rd Stockport has a very large space for exactly that purpose, and I believe Mark (the owner) has opened up another place, G2 i think, not far from Every St in Ancoats (close to town centre) I'm sure they'll have a website. Mark is a decent guy and lots of big signed acts have used the facilities. I have too and they are good IMO. Jake If you have problems finding it let me PM me, I'd be able to get a number easily enough[/quote] Thanks for the info Jake Ian

    Does anyone know of a room available for rehearsals anywhere in the Greater Manchester area big enough for us to set up a large 6K pa rig and a lighting rig so we can practice our stage show? At the moment we rehearse in a small room in Oldham and there is no way we can use it to set up all our gear. We are used to paying £30 a night Any info or help would be appreciated Ian

    [quote name='Merton' post='146446' date='Feb 25 2008, 11:15 AM']Original speaker would have been the Celestion 200W jobby, C15T-200 or something I think. £200 - go for it![/quote] Managed to get it for £180 in the end. Had a look at the speaker and its an almost new Mackenzie 200 Watt. Its sounds great so I might not even bother changing it. Its in excellent condition and much easier to transport than my behringer head and Peavey 4x10 whichwill shortly be on Ebay Thanks everyone for the advice

    [quote name='neilb' post='146143' date='Feb 24 2008, 07:25 PM']£250 ish I would think.[/quote] I can have it for £200 so thats great then. Do you have any idea what the original speaker would have been? I was thinking it might be worth me fitting a JBL or a RCF in it

    I have been offered a [b]Trace Elliott GP7 SM300 1x15" bass combo[/b]. Everything is fine apart from the speaker seems to have been exchanged for a Mackenzie 15" 200 watt What would be a decent price to get this amp for any ideas anyone ?? Got it for 180 in the end

    [quote name='Thunderthumbs' post='144527' date='Feb 21 2008, 05:14 PM']I saw The Platters in Douglas, Isle of Man in 1983 - were you playing with them there? I also saw The Frantic Elevators at The Apollo in Manchester many moons ago supporting Madness - did you play then?[/quote] No my brief associations with both bands consisted of some gigs in Germany with the Platters in 1982 and about 4 gigs with the Elevators in 1977/78 Pips nightclub in Manchester, The Ranch bar Manchester, and The Tower Club in Oldham at which the stage was invaded by Oldham rugby club who grabbed Mick and demanded he sing Yellow Submarine with them to which he readily agreed of course, well you would wouldn't you?

    [quote name='Mike' post='143508' date='Feb 20 2008, 07:55 AM']I genuinely think if you're serious about shifting stuff, you'll put up some pictures. Otherwise people will just not be interested. I don't think your connection will suffer too badly if you upload a few photos to an online hosting website such as imagecave.[/quote] I'll have a go, although computer and internet stuff isn't my strong point

    I have some extremely tenuous claims lol. I played Bass on a single for Hurricane Higgins Ive played with The Platters while in Germany in the early eighties Played with Vinny Burns from Dare, Ultravox, Asia, Ten etc Played With Mick Hucknall with the Frantic Elevators in 1978 Jammed with the Steve Gibbons Band in the Isle of Man Played in the same band as Darren Wharton from Lizzy Played in a backing band for PJ Proby and a million more other tenuous links

    I worked pro for 20 years. Its not really that difficult to earn money playing covers or doing session work. I started in 1981 and was earning a good wedge for the next ten years touring and doing the odd session, then when work dried up a bit I turned to guitar and went out on my own and earned a good living doing four gigs a week, certainly a lot more than I could have earned doing a day job. I am back on bass in a band now doing corporate gigs and wedding etc, we are only a 4 piece but we still manage to pull between a grand and £1800 a night. I suppose that would make me a pro. I think anyone who really wants to do it just needs to step off the edge and go for it. But if you have a well paid day job that you enjoy doing then there is no real point doing it. It is a gamble only if your not prepared to work hard as its not easy earning a good living from it
