If you like the Ashdown you could get a Little Giant for £199 (http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-Little-Giant-350~ID~8586.asp) and then pick up a used cab on here (something like this?

Exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, and much better prices than what I was finding, I'll get one! Thanks!!

Now that I've finally bought my own house, I have a room purely for my music gear. I put a desk up last night, I've got a MacBook Pro with Garageband and I've got some old SkyTec 30w speakers, nothing special, but do the job. However, I've got nothing to power them. I only want something I can plug a phono lead into, and attach the speaker cable to, has a volume control, and I don't want it taking up much room on the desk. But all I can find online are hi-fi seperates, which are huge and expensive. Anyone know of anything suitable? I don't want to spend much!

If you have Garageband, then you can do it a lot cheaper than that, I use one of these, got it for about £25: [url="http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/behringer-guitar-link-ucg102-guitar-to-usb-interface--38128"]http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/beh...nterface--38128[/url]

Something like this?

earthtone9's free compilation album... [url="http://www.earthtone9.co.uk/free.php"]http://www.earthtone9.co.uk/free.php[/url]

Yeah, Performers are about £300 new, Legends about £500.

Yeah I'd say that's a Performer, the Legend has a curved back, like the higher end Spectors. Any idea where it's made? I think the Performers were China, the Legends are Korea.

Serial seems strange, my Legend and my Q4 both have four digit serials. Looks quite flat as well, got any other pics, like from the side?

I was supposed to support Streetlight Manifesto about four years ago and they cancelled

Why not just get an SR300FL?

Looks lovely until you see the back, then it looks half-finished! Wasn't this one something like £25,000?

I didn't know you were the Cry For Silence bassist, probably saw you once, but I can't remember where or supporting who! Enjoy the gig!!

My first bass was an SR300 Fretless, probably made me a better bassist, because small mistakes were more noticable. I did have some guitar experience prior to that though, so maybe not as a first instrument, but definitely helps with learning.

Answer is always no when I'm asked. I used to lend my amp and cabs, then I changed again and just lent cabs, but I just won't lend this rig. If you haven't got the gear, you're not ready to gig. If the issue is transport, you should be able to sort it out between band members, it's in your interest to help your band members get their gear there.

Chi Cheng from Deftones had one with that body shape, thinner and more contoured than the Mike Dirnt. His didn't have such an ugly finish though, and probably didn't have the jazz pickup.

[quote name='DreadAlert' post='856282' date='Jun 3 2010, 05:00 PM']A quick question: What bass is this that Rob Trujillo is using? [url="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Robert_Trujillo_live_in_London_2008-09-15.jpg"]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm..._2008-09-15.jpg[/url] It looks so nice! I think it might be a Fernandes Gravity 5 string. I've been looking at their prices and they're surprisingly cheap! Has anyone had a go on them?[/quote] It's a Tobias, check the headstock:

Broke one in soundcheck before, but never during a gig thankfully.

Got it, cheers!

I want one!

[quote name='bubinga5' post='849024' date='May 26 2010, 11:12 PM']Spotted this and it frickin annoyed me...why do they let people like Lauren Lavern have any opinion on something she knows nothing about...[/quote] not that I want to excuse her being on tv every five minutes, but why does she know nothing about it? How many of us have had a top ten debut album...?
