    I use those hard plastic camera cases with foaming inside, the kind you can cut out for perfect fit. I won't rack mount my light weight amps; then the idea with light weight is gone. Another thing I do is putting velcro on top of the amps to hold tuner, wireless and "always on-pedals".

    I just bought a second hand plywood bass from a friend, a bass he equipped with height adjustable bridge. My aim is to use the bass for practicing slap bass and use it on gigs where I cannot/won't bring my wooden bass. Anyway, it is a real bargain; the bass sounds great, is well taken care of, serviced by a pro luthier, plays great and cost me £165(!!!). This was a good affair...

    Definitely! The Streamliner is the "oddest" of them, kinda like a tube/valve amp without the weight. The Magellan takes the best of both the Max and the Streamliner into a small easy to use package. The Max has its points too, especially the ability to drive two 4 ohm cabs, and some finesse with the twin channels and their separate effect loops.

    I kinda like these lightweight amps... [IMG]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd169/bassmayhem/20160215_183433_zpsljhga2pn.jpg[/IMG] Premier use of the Magellan 800 will be on Sunday. Can't wait...

    [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1454776643' post='2972930'] Indeed - much my preferred method. Although many of the garage warriors don't have access to a decent PA when they play down the Tickled Trout. Knowing what I know now, investing in decent PA is where the greatest gains can be achieved for a band. Although, as stated back in the thread, nobody really seems to want to invest in PA. [/quote] I have thoughts of getting this by myself and let the band rent it every gig: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgNHS-pBu0Y"]http://www.youtube....h?v=YgNHS-pBu0Y[/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keUtck_F7es"]http://www.youtube....h?v=keUtck_F7es[/url]

    The only bass players that "need" high volume wall of sound are the "garage warriors". On stage nowadays - as long as you have massive PA support and good monitors - it is totally unnecessary, more or less eyes delight. You aren't allowed to crank the amp to get "your tone" anyway. We have a very fine concert hall in town; next time I play there I'll only bring my tuner, my bass(es), my wireless, my compressor and my Avalon U5...

    Well, how many of us play at full volume? None, I hope. I don't care if the volume is full half way up, like "a little goes a long way", or if I have to crank the knob all way around. I never go that far anyway. As long as the amp sounds good I'm satisfied.

    Well: delivered! Really nice amp, fat like a Streamliner and clarity like the Shuttles... [IMG]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd169/bassmayhem/20160205_170603%20-%20kopia_zpslysdz9b2.jpg[/IMG]

    'Ts my pleasure, colgraff... Dingwalls are addictive, so now I have paid a deposit for a candy purple Leland Sklar model. Now wait, wait, wait...

    I got some more pic's if anyone is seriously interested. Just PM your e-mail address and I'll send full resolution pictures. Yep - 34" and a very slim and nicely profiled neck. 18 mm spacing. Also - I accept trades, since I've taken care of my G.A.S. Offer me something nice, something I can't refuse...

    Well, I ordered one and get it delivered on Friday. Seems like I get the first one out there. (At least [i]out there here in Europe[/i]...)

    Kind of Anthony Jackson-ish tone at a fraction of the price of an AJ bass...

    The beauty is sold to a local hero...

    53-54 mm@ nut 86-87 mm @ 12th fret 90 mm @24th fret 90 mm spacing @ bridge = 18 mm string to string (I didn't check spacing @ nut, but rather "Jazz Bass-ish"...) Neck thickness @ nut: 19 mm, c:a Neck thickness @ 12th fret: 20 mm, c:a I've had a Yamaha JP2, and that s.o.b. was really, really big in comparison. This bass feels very slim and "delicate" in your hands. A nice bass that responds well to touch and style. //Roger

    I have to check, but I think 18 mm... Maybe 18.5...

    Definitely a Deluxe. US made, no Skyline. Only reason for selling is G.A.S.

    Lakland 55-94 Deluxe 2004 with a very nice quilted maple top over alder body, quarter sawn maple neck capped with a stunning birds eye maple board. Machines are Hipshot, electronics from Bartolini, the classic setup. Condition is excellent for a bass that has been played for 11 years. Some very small dings, hardly noticeable. Straight neck that allows low action, double action truss rod that works as it should. Schaller strap locks are mounted, but the original Dunlops come with the bass. The strings are nearly unused, a set of D’Addario Flex Steels, giving the bass a nice touch and rather even tension from string to string. The bass has a very low and pleasant weight, don’t ask me about kilos: I have no scales. (But I have a slipped disc, and this bass has truly been a pleasure to play…) This bass will be delivered in a custom built heavy duty - but not that heavy - flight case, built by [i]Jan-Al Cases[/i] in the USA. This case is built for this specific bass model and won’t fit any other bass than a Lakland 55-94 or a Skyline 55-02. More pic's on request!
