What exactly is so good about it for £4k?!

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1366894175' post='2058654'] In case Gareth wants to buy one No offence meant to Gareth, just having a laugh. [/quote] Nay more Fenders bought sight unseen!

Your amp plus a different, smaller cab.

They are great amps/cabs. Truely lightweight compared to most ceramic loaded cabs, and a very nice tone from the whole rig. 2 x RS212 will move a LOT of air!

I have to say, after trying quite a lot of high end cabs, those TC cabs (RS) fare VERY well. Excellent quality build, lightweight (ish), small, compact, easy to move, great coax tweeter, and a nice punchy tight tone. All for about £450.00, which I think is reasonable.

I would assume Alex is working on it, but I doubt it is 'user error'. I think being able to play an instrument and use the internet would usually mean you have the capacity to move a lightweight cabinet over objects and to a gig.

Rickenbacker 4003/a lot of the Gibson range..(mainly the Thunderbird shape though).

The best harmonics I've heard are on Musicman Bongo basses....ridiculously clear harmonics.

Yep, the serials do NOT run in a normal order. I just got a new Bongo 5 HS which is 5 months younger than my HH. The serial would make it appear the other way round. I like how they keep a database.

To be fair, I think she's a good bassist. Probably enjoying herself, on Jools Holland. The fact she might have odd antics on stage has led to other discussing her band! I was too busy looking to the far left to care to be honest...

Perhaps they need to factor in stronger screws/bolts for the feet.

EB strings...perfect for that bass. The colour will be the wood ageing with use on the neck as it isn't sealed and glossy. It's gunstock oil which gives a smooth natural feel. The board and neck will discolour but there are good cleaning wipes that EB recommend

I need to put up my collection, especially the Bongo 5 HH and Bongo 5 HS....BEAUTIFULLLLLL!

Unfortunately, this is the way things work with shop bought items. This is why I won't travel/stay over and pay to try gear for ten minutes, to go back and have no real return policy. A lot of shops 'may' suggest you pop in as a way to get around the Distance Selling Regs. That would be a cynical view. It could also be that they wanted you to see it, try it, and sell you it cheaper. Either way, that is STUNNING. Seriously stunning. In fact...I absolutely want it! Hahah

Nig you fit right into that band...super cool. Excellent video!

Oh! Just realised... RH750 plus 3 TC RS cabs!

I've been wearing glasses since I was 11/12, I'm now 32. I wear them all the time. Even if I get my eyes lasered, I'll wear glasses without corrective lenses. They are just part of who I am!

...another option would be the Gallien Neo 212 or the 412.

If you are playing larger venues, and you are used to two 4x10s, I would hesitate to recommend a 2x12. A good high end 2x12 can cover a 4x10 and more, but not much more. It depends which 2x12 we are talking about. If I were in your position, and I wanted better portability, but enough speakers to push the sound, I'd opt for two 8 ohm Aguilar DB212s. I've had two, returned to just one. They are, IMO, stunning. If you want really light weight, what about a Bergantino CN212? High end, and expensive, but they are very highly regarded even though they are only just getting out the orders for them. What about a 6x10?

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1366554374' post='2053897'] No..my strap is short and the bass always hangs in the same position...which is the whole point of the strap, IMO. [/quote] Agreed. I think the 'classical' position looks uncomfortable, never mind actually sitting like it.

I can say tang pearl and sky blue are stunning in the flesh!!!

Must admit, this is quite cool. That bass tone GRINDS....love it. Very aggressive...and properly audible, unlike most modern metal.

Great amp! Pre Gibson? I found the tube did very little, just a little warmth. No overdrive. I barely used the comp but I would if I still had my GP12SMX400.

Best bass bag in the business. Worth every penny. Great if you transport your own gear around and can place it securely in a vehicle.

I've just received an order from DV247 and I'm very impressed with how they work. I did have some quotes on Fender gear previously. Maybe they are overhauling, maybe they aren't selling Fender, or another reason...who knows.
