    [quote name='wotnwhy' post='153076' date='Mar 7 2008, 02:25 PM'] i've been joking with the guitarist in my band about getting one of those mini marshal stacks (two cabs with 10" speakers and a head taken from a 15w combo), getting the drummer a half size kit, and then getting short-scale guitars and basses, so all the band would look massive! then start a band called 'giants of funk' lol looks like this would have to be the bass amp! now if only we had loads of cash to blow on making a joke band...

    [quote name='sshorepunk' post='150133' date='Mar 3 2008, 06:21 AM']There should always be at least one Stage 1 on the forum for sale This is a 2004 model, natural finish, in pretty much mint condition, comes with a slightly battered hard case Pics later Asking price is £625, not in a rush to sell, which is a good thing when selling a Warwick these days! I may also be parting with my 2002 Dolphin 5 string, but it needs a new neck pick up first! Tony[/quote] MB1. Hi Tony!...... ..... Where to next on lifes rich Bass Highway?.....

    [quote name='Hamster' post='152574' date='Mar 6 2008, 06:22 PM']The power board problem arose with the last batch of Superfly heads - if yours was bought some time ago, or was NOS you're lucky. I bought one from Soundcontrol when they were knocking them out for £199. It was faulty so I took it back and tried the other 13 Superfly heads they had in stock - they were all defective. It's really noticible when you roll back on the lows and boost the treble. Turn off your tweeters and roll off the highs and you might not notice it. The other Ashdown MAG / ABM heads are also known for the QC problems with the mains transformer burning out, (which also happened with my ABM head.) I won't be buying Ashdown again.

    [quote name='steve' post='141904' date='Feb 17 2008, 02:43 PM']I bought this from Upton Bass in the states about a year ago, Its a Glasser fibreglass model, and cost me about £55. It's now redundant since I got rid of my eub and I'm not likely to get another one in the forseeable future. Pics to follow, but it's basically [url="http://www.uptonbass.com/Glasser-Fiberglass-Upright-Bass-Bow-GERMAN/"]this one[/url][/quote] MB1.
