[quote name='umcoo' post='699668' date='Jan 3 2010, 04:38 PM']I'm looking for a flight case for my 135 and castle cases do one for the bassman 100. I measured the 135 and the case and the case seems a really tight fit. Is that how they're supposed to be? Help me spend money folks![/quote] I think they are? Mine has a 135 bassman vinyl cover. In mm my 1976 bassman 100 head is, 665 x220 x245 without feet or handles taken into consideration Hope this helps Dave

Most desks even budget ones "should" be able to cope with line and mic levels at xlr input! Like previous advice states its most likely the engineer, who if he had a problem should have provided you with a DI box himself, after all thats his job. If your problem is of concern to you i wouldnt mod the amp like WOT suggest, just make a FEMALE to MALE, short XLR lead with the resistor across the hot pin and it keeps th amp original and avoids you voiding the warranty by soldering the insides.

[quote name='Duarte' post='683565' date='Dec 13 2009, 11:59 PM']I would prefer it if it was clean, but in the end it really doesn't matter. It's a great bass. It sounds and plays great which is all that really matters.[/quote] I know this is all personal taste but i hate to play a dirty bass, first of all for the feel, clammy under your hands eeeuuuuwww , and second of all the maintenance issue, fingerboards drying out, hardware rusting and seizing up etc. issues with the finish, clean off your acidic sweat and it will last longer. Watch your quality builder or craftsman when they finish work, tools CLEANED and then put away. Tools are expensive and only really need to be bought once if respected, and after all basses are our tools of the trade. Dave

[quote name='Stingray5' post='667967' date='Nov 28 2009, 04:06 AM'][/quote] I've always Gassed over the Thunder II Fretless basses. Gorgeous looking basses. I remember seeing Steve Brzezicki playing one when i saw him in Fish's band on the vigil in a wilderness of mirrors tour. Outstanding sounding bass loads of mmmwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Thanks for the input gents, Its the solid state one and its in the UK if they go for around 300 then it could be worth a buy and then repair the compressor. Will post some pics if i can borrow it off the lad. If i dont go for it i will out the owners details up for anyone interested. Cheers Dave
