  1. Bargain bump, £500 for the pair?
  2. That'll be Massively Great (Eden) Metro... off course . I currently have this lovely amp in the for sale section with extension cab, but I'm not 100% convinced I really want to part with it as it sounds great, simply Eden = awesome to my ears. However I'm knocking out 400W at 4ohms with the ext. cab and i'm finding in rehearsal that I cannot turn it too loud without the 2x10"'s flapping a bit, I've tried a myriad of settings but to no avail - plus i have also read on TB and the Eden forum about the 10"'s flapping if used with lots of low end. I'm finding that i can't get loud enough to keep up with the others. Now admittedly I'm playing reggae here with a lot of low end, the 15" seems to handle this fine but the 2x10's fart out in the reggae territory...although i must add they are fine for everything else as long as you not over boosting the low end. This Metro is 600W at 2ohms but i don't have the funds for another 4ohm cab right now......and my Genz is dedicated to my other band So my options:[list=1] [*]Continue with flogging it and get something louder (or use my very loud 1500W Carvin amp and get a lighweight class D for my regular gigging band...i don't want to use the Eden in my regular gigging soul band due to heavy weight/carrying, regular weekly gigs etc etc..basically the reggae guys have their own studio and its always a case of loading into a van...minimal effort and few select gigs ) [*]Change the speakers in Metro...but to what?? Have been quoted £78+VAT per speaker for Eden XST speakers - bit skint right now so £200's worth of speaker may be hard to sort...i know the cab may not be tuned etc but it should work ok according to the Eden forum.....tempted to go 4ohms too as to get more watts out the amp, giving me the 2.63ohms with the 15" ext cab. [*]Remove Metro head, get a box made up for it (but where?) and use different speakers? [*]Join a country band [/list] Anyhow, thanks for your thoughts & advice in advance
  3. [quote name='bumnote' timestamp='1390748899' post='2348926'] If the metro and extension is not loud enough I hope you wear ear defenders [/quote] Pardon ...i know what you mean though
  4. SOLD
  5. Swap for Eden metro?
  6. Any links to a recommended sack barrow?
  7. [quote name='Mudpup' timestamp='1389731231' post='2337351'] Did you mean BassGear?? [/quote] Ah yes...er...probably Just finished rehearsal with mine tonight, puts a huge smile on my face every time...one of the best kept secrets of lightweight, incredibly versatile and 1500W's of amp power...whats not to like
  8. I'm in this camp too, yay ...was considering this [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171139721096?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171139721096?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649[/url] but not sure i've got the b*ll*x for invasive surgery yet. Great cabs though aren't they
  9. Buy a Carvin BX1500 through BassDirect....and thank me later
  10. Cheers guys, some good food to check out on this thread when my studies done
  11. Lebump for super cheap Bart's £30
  12. ....and the reggae rig - heavy all round
  13. My basses: Ray 34 - Mercedes A class (Practical) Spector Legend - VW Golf Tdi (Reliable) 74 Fender Jazz - Jaguar XK120 (Style)
  14. A great NYE gig depping with my old soul/functions band. However it was at rather affluent venue in the middle of Dartmoor and was mostly attended by wealthy OAP's who were not quite up to the party - not sure they were ready for a Pink Panther ska moment in the middle of Minnie the Moocher or the obligatory Hendrix Auld Lang Syne...ahem!...none the less a good gig, despite being slowly roasted by our lights, but i got to debut my superb Genz Benz NX2 212...did the business lovely
  15. Have recently done a bass trade with Eddie. Great trade and happy all round. Eddie is a top chap and credit to basschat, buyers & sellers can deal in confidence.
  16. Well I've had a run of buying/selling and trading the last three days so its felt like a 'bassmas'... and ended up with a Genz NX2 212T cab, Eden Metro combo & a Spector Legend bass....oh and i'm picking up an Eden 15" tomorrow.....Alas I'm skint again but very happy (for now)
  17. Where did you get them please
  18. Laney, Marlin & Carlsboro Stingray!
  19. Blood, sweat & tears....oh and buying, selling, swapping and trading has eventually got me this beauty...i'm very happy! (Especially with my 74 year of birth Jazz bass) [b] The Soul/Funk rig [/b] [b] 74 Jazz, Carvin BX1500 & Genz Benz NX2 212T[/b]
  20. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1388020943' post='2317973'] Just out of curiosity, did you deal directly with Orange to get this fixed or go via your dealer? Mine has died also and Orange told me too take it to my nearest Orange dealer, which is about 25 miles away, so I'm making the trip on Friday! Cheers, Dan [/quote] Hi Dan, I went through the dealer, where I originally purchased the amp. Good luck with yours, hope it works out. I'm shortly trading my OTB in the next couple of days and I know I will miss it dearly as they're great amps, I just need something a little different for some dubby stuff...I reckon I will probably get another though someday
  21. I've had several Stingrays and always seem to miss them when i haven't got one, so recently I traded for a Ray34 to have something Stingray ish in my life again. I am pleasantly surprised with the Ray34, it has the Ray tones covered pretty well and the good looks too...all for half the price - i actually thought it was quite versatile tonally as well. Why not sell the Ernie Ball Ray and get a Ray34 ? or even a Ernie Ball U.S. Sub Stingray (have had two of those too...but sorry to the Sub lovers, i prefer the Ray 34 by miles) and with the change left over after the Ernie ball sale you could get a nice Jap P...or even get a proper bass like a Jazz (haha....i'll get my coat).
  22. Decent pick ups these, P2 size. £40 posted or trade for Hipshot BT2 or BT7 or an envelope filter, cash either way.
  23. TRADE PENDING
  24. Bump, still up for grabs
