Just to prove how these threads can turn your head, today I bought a RM 500 from Musik Produktiv for the rather decent price of £254. Should pair up ok with my ABM Mini 2 x 10 running at 4 ohms. Always fancied one of those heads, just need some gigs now!

At small pub gigs, I`m surprised that the MAG and 1 cab isn`t enough. I used an old MAG 300 and a ABM mini 2 x 10 in these type of gigs and often had to turn down. Not doubting you by the way, everyone`s needs are different. I would go for the extra cab.

Sad news. 59 is no age. Condolences to his family.

Agreed. Dave is the man and very helpful.

I might try them for my next bit of "German shopping" as Thomann are terrible on their deliveries now, for me anyway. Those Ashdown prices are very tempting.

I tried to sell a G&L bass through The Bass Galley. They had it about 3 weeks and I had to chase them up to actually post the bass on their site and when they did the photo`s were crap and the info about the bass non existent. Got it back then.. Got Mark to sell it, good photo`s and description. Result, it sold in a couple of weeks. It was a 20% fee instead of 15% but it went. I will say his communication could be better once the bass sells as others have stated. And I did have a bad experience regarding a bass I bought from him a couple of years back re the condition but what the heck. The reason I sold the bass through BD and paid the commission is I don`t do Facebook much and selling a G&L on here for a decent price can be rather difficult. And I have very little patience when selling much to my wallets detriment!

I have bought 3 basses in the last 10 days. 1 is up for sale, 1 has been sent back to G4music (great service on returns by the way) and the 3rd one is sitting in the hall awaiting collection by UPS to take it back as well! I`m off work at the moment due to a damaged foot and am spending far too much time on here and various bass gear shops. If only I spent all that time learning how to play the bloomin things.

I think you will find it`s also on here for a lower price But it is on hold for a rather dodgy worded Gumtree reply. Apparently he wants it for his mum "for my best price and delivery" and all I need to do is e mail him at some G mail account. No it doesn`t sound in the least bit dodgy

I have used my RCF 715 on stage at the Hard rock in Glasgow. Whilst all the out front sound was provided by the rather nice pa, the on stage volumes were still quite high as I play with 2 dinosaurs who use 100 watt valve Marshall`s to "get their sound." The RCF handled the gig easily and I would have no issue in using it as my main sound source on a pub type gig. MY RCF is around £550, about the same price as a Fender Rumble 500 and I bought this as they get a good name for this type of speaker. I cannot comment on the speaker that you are thinking of buying but before getting the RCF I looked at the 15" version of the HB powered speaker but as I had the budget, I decided to go with my present one. The good thing about Thomann is you can buy it, try it and if it doesn`t suit, send it back. Got to be worth a shot.

Aye, my bad. I`m always getting the bloomin Yammy numbers mixed up! It is a 424.

The BB 414 from BD arrived and apart from a dent on the bottom edge next to the input jack, it is remarkably good condition for a 11 year old bass. And everything works which is a bonus! Stuck on a set of old GHS flats and it sounds really good. For the price of a Squier Affinity, I have a good quality bass that looks good.

Just spotted a 2010 black 424 at BD priced at £211 including postage. 9/10 condition according to the advert. I don`t need it but they look cool as in the black so what the heck
