I used to own a B2-V but couldn't get along with the five strings.. and the stiletto extreme is a cool name for a good looking Bass.. Anyway, how are you getting on the 2x12 cab? Cheers! [/quote] Hello yourself, I think out of all the basses I've tried the Jack is my favorite so far - unfortunately its given me a bit of an obsession with Headless Bass's now! I was pretty lucky my first two Bass's were bought for me (Squire P-Bass and the Schecter Stiletto) and all my other gear have been through saving wages & student loan. To be honest I'm still trying to get used to the 2x12 and with little experience in cabs I'm still figuring out if the sound is right for me - though its portability and small size is a big plus in my books!

Thanks everyone, it's nice to meet you all I do use fingers for some songs, it depends on the style/groove of it. At home I love to play bits of chords making little melodies to be added into them so for that I play with fingers.

So I guess I best make an introduction after creeping around in the forums (mainly the marketplace) and wishing I had enough funds to but 50% of the stuff for sale in there! Anyways, Hi! I'm Bev, a 19-year old female bass player, I'm currently doing a HND course in Music Performance in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I picked up bass just under 4 years ago now but I've still got plenty to learn. I was introduced to music when I started learning Bb Cornet at 7 years old, at 14 I picked up the basics on guitar and went on to start learning drums. Bass wasn't actually something I intended to play, I only started learning after being unable to find a bassist in my high school band - with my best friend being a better drummer than me it seemed like a logical idea - Since then I guess I haven't turned back. I'm most definitely still a newbie when it comes to a fair few playing styles and amp tech, I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I also rely on using plectrums way too much (though that is due to a mixture of guitar experience and high school band as expected meant a punk/rock band). I like a big variety of music from Pop, R&B, Rock, Country, Metal, Folk and 'Djent' and always try to be open-minded to new genres or artists. At the moment my latest obsession/inspiration would be 'Scale The Summit' a Djent band with an (IMO) brilliant bassist (Mark Michell). Anyway I think I'll stop there before I start writing a book, I look forward to talking, and learning from all of you

Thanks everyone! I'm deffinatly taking all this into consideration. I've only recently moved from Combo to Head & Cab and have only really had frequent experience with an Ashdown MAG410T at college/university, every other were combos' - Ashdown Electric Blue 1x15" and my old Trace Elliot GP7SM 300 2x10". I'd prefer 2x12" but for portability a 2x10" seems like the best choice due to the lack of space in my car for transporting gear. Think your words of wisdom have put me back on the right path - Out of curiousity what brands/models would you reccomend? in either the 2x10" / 2x12" format?

They mainly do Guitar Cabs so anything about speaker reccomendations are related to guitars - I'll look into those though thanks

So my Guitarist friend is getting a custom built Zilla Super-Fatboy 2x12" cab built, from all his talk he's convinced me tha I want a Zilla Bass Cab built. Honestly not a clue what kind of speakers are best for the job so to speak, I'm looking into either a 2x10" or a 2x12" cab which would be paired with my MarkBass Little Mark III head. So... What would you guys reccomend / what wouldn't you reccomend? Or is it a bad idea all together? Throw your words of wisdom at me (though gently please - I don't want to bruise!)

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1368114059' post='2073398'] I'm sure it's a perfectly good amp, I can't think why you don't value it. [/quote] It is indeed a lovely amp and I was lucky to have it as my first 'proper' amp, its been through alot with me however bills need to be paid and its too big and powerful to just use as a home practice amp - which is all the action its getting at the moment I'm afraid On another note, thanks to everyone for replying and helping me out here

Hi there, hoping someone would be able to help me out here. I have a Trace Elliot GP7 SM300 2x10" combo that no longer gets used enough to justify me keeping it as such I'm looking to sell it on, however I don't have a clue what the value of the amp actually is - can anyone help me out here?
