I couldn't see it on either of those sites unfortunately, ended up ordering from the US for £85. So not bad... until they decide to charge me import tax

Hi all, does anyone know where I can purchase this in the UK? Can't seem to find one anywhere...

Was running through the clean channel, clip light was only occasionally flickering when really thumping the E string. Was using a Barefaced BB2

Well I just got back from rehearsal where I really pushed both amps, and I did notice a difference. The Genzler was louder, but the power amp started to noticably distort when pushed hard. The TC on the other hand remained relatively clean throughout, but was quieter (I assume this was the Active Power Management at work)

Thanks for all the great replies

Hi all, I've got two amps (one main and one backup) but I can only keep one due to money reasons. So one of them needs to go. Trouble is, I genuinely can't decide which one to get rid of! They are, in my opinion, both excellent. So... thought I'd get some other opinions as to which one I should keep and which one should get the ebay treatment Which should I keep, the TC RH750 or Genzler Magellan 800?

How comes it says Class A on the back?

Been reading a lot of reviews for the M80 case, seems pretty marmite in terms of comfort. I'm 5ft9 and worry I'll suffer the same "slapping the back of the legs" problem as a lot of others seem to complain about

That looks pretty cool! I like that you can adjust the inside to fit and that it looks like the bass is suspended? Do you know if the ATK810 would fit? It's pretty long, I believe 35" scale. Cheers

I'm not sure as I don't have experience with any of them

Thanks for all the great replies! The case is for an Ibanez ATK810. The case that came with it was specifically made for this bass, and naturally it fits like a glove. The problem with the other case I purchased (aside from the uncomfortable shoulder straps) was that there was so much movement in the case. The bass would shake about and the headstock tuner keys hit the bottom. I tried padding it out by using felt pieces cut to size, but it felt like a half-measure. Looking at some of the pictures of the gig bags, could I possibly face similar issues? Is there another key indicator of protection other than padding thickness? For example, the case above is £126 and has 25mm of padding (https://www.thomann.de/gb/gator_g_pg_bass_guitar_bag.htm) But this case is £30 and has 20mm of padding... (https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/RedSub-Bass-Guitar-Gig-Bag/2RUJ) Are there many other factors?

Were you referring to the M80?

Thanks, just googled it. Definitely not cheap!! 😁

Hi there, I've been using my cheap Ibanez SR500 for the past ten years, and bought a basic Stagg soft gig bag with it at the same time. It's been carried around in it ever since. I like the gig bag because it is very light and comfortable to wear on my back. However, it offers little protection. Now that I have joined a band, I bought a new and significantly more expensive bass - an Ibanez ATK810! I definitely don't want to be carrying it around in the Stagg gig bag. The bass came with it's own hard case, which fits the bass perfectly, but... it's very heavy and unwieldy, and has no shoulder straps... So on recommendation I purchased this, however, I am returning it as the bass does not fit very well inside it and it is extremely uncomfortable to wear on my back! https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Bass-Guitar-Foam-Case-by-Gear4music/C87 After having a little search online, I have yet to find a soft gig bag for my new bass that looks to offer similar protection to a hard case. I have a soft gig bag for my acoustic guitar, it is somewhat formed, with thick fur on the inside and shoulder straps. It is very light and comfy to carry. Is there a similar gig bag like that for bass? Any suggestions welcome!

Sorry I meant just the cost of the bass. Gutted I missed that one on ebay!

I'd pay £680 for a Stingray, seen them go on here for £1000-1500

Ahh ok understood, thanks for explaining. The bass is a genuine Stingray for $800, which aside from the shipping and tax, is a great deal 🤑😁

Jeeez... Yeah, I think I'll avoid it. Even if the bass is a really good price.

I think it would be more than 25%, I just did a quick quote on USPS and shipping alone came to $140
