[quote name='countjodius' post='838778' date='May 16 2010, 12:23 PM']I'd highly recommend Mono cases. I've been using one since last summer and it barely has a scratch on it despite using it daily & throwing it on all manners of public transport! It's light too which is important as my bass is as heavy as they come, plus can't argue with a 3 yr warranty![/quote] I like the look of these, but I cant find the dimension of the front pocket anywhere.

bargain!

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='842900' date='May 20 2010, 10:40 AM']I agree that thomann has stupidly good customer service. Another shop that i would say has a great customer service is BANZAI music. They accidentaly forgot to send me a resistor and i ended up being able to have one sent, plus they sent me an allen key to adjust the knob i ordered that was the right size. As for smaller music shops. There is a local guitar shop in my town that's good if you need something today and the staff are very friendly. But i agree that it's always too expensive to shop in places like that. Like for example once i accidentaly cut a bass string too short and was charged £7 for ONE string! Not coated or anything like that, just a standard rotosound bass string. It's a real shame that the smaller shop these days is being killed by big buisiness but at the end of the day people are always going to buy what's cheaper. The thing about local music shops though, is that you can barter on price, plus you can get some good deals for used stuff so i'm not saying it's always the big shops that win out in my case.[/quote] +1, its sad, but small shops need to focus on used items, dispensable stuff that people might need fast (strings, spare parts etc.) and setups/repairs so that they can provide things that the online giants cant.

just grab a really cheap (£20) mixer, and run the pc as one input, and the bass as another, then use the headphone out on the mixer... Simplest and cheapest way I reckon!

Yeah, I'll do a review when they arrive! It might not be for a bit though, because Darren is still waiting for them to come in at the bass merchant..

Both

[quote]I was reading recently that a Markbass F1 head into a GS112 is the business[/quote] Oo good, I'm waiting for mine to be delivered as we speak!

You can get a great jazz sound through a bass amp!

Does anyone know of any cheap heavy duty stands? I have hundreds of normal ones, but would like something for hardcore! I've seen [url="http://www.audiospares.com/product.php?productid=1200"]this[/url], Any advance on £15?

The hartke gear at that sort of level is fantastic too though, the money goes into making it smaller + alot lighter!

i'll swap them for my worn in slinkeys...

it might be worth opening it up and checking that the internal speaker is 8ohms, My hartke has two outputs,but the internal speaker is 4.

I think the frequency response of the tweeter is soo high its irrelevant!

Nice sounding amps those! I know a few people who use them!

I think (hope) he was joking, making reference to the point that everyone describes and describes tone differently...

very roundwoundy!

ahh ok! I'll take a closer look! Thanks alot!

whoops! Silly me! Yeah, it is funktion! Thanks alot, Pete.

Hi, I know your probably busy, but if you have time it would be great if you could skim your eye over the website I just made for my jazz band! Our aim is get more party/wedding sort of gigs, but the website is mainly for people who have heard of us by word of mouth, and just want to take a closer look, however more google traffic would be great!

Did you ever manage to get some photos? No worries if not, i'm just interested!
