    Condition seems a bit of an issue...
  2. Musicman20
    Just googled this lot...WOW...seriously low prices!
  3. Musicman20
    Im interested to know the specs...definitely. Colours? Hardcase? Pickup spacing? etc

    I may have to move one of these on to allow space for new gear. I don't want to really, as for the price these cabinets really are superb. You all know the specs, and you know what they look like. I have the original packaging, etc. Comes complete with an official RS210 cover. These cabinets are light, punchy, and have a great vintage meets modern voicing. Great smooth clear high end due to the dual-concentric placement of the HF driver. This is obviously on a dial so you can have old school thump or a sweeter layer of treble. There is no 'cheap' sounding plasticky tweeter in these cabinets, which is why I like them so much. Immaculate condition, never driven hard. This is the latest cabinet line with the smooth finish similar to the Berg AE line. Id prefer local pickup as just lately im hardly home for couriers, but this can be looked into. £360 all in ONO. I may withdraw this if I can re-arrange my bass gear in a more compact fashion!

    I dont really think the cabs are wooly, but ive barely used them. They do seem very loud, very mid focussed (I dont mind that at all) and extremely well built. Those speakers can take a hell of a wallop as well. Crazy to watch how much they move.

    Much better w/o the plate

    The other thing to note is that if you like MMs black, red or blue colours, they are selling brand new 2 band Rays for £999 in a EBMM soft case. Im sure you could get one for £950 and have everything new with a guarantee. Im not keen on those colours, plus I wanted a hardcase, so I paid a little bit more for those upgrades. Definitely worth it.
  9. Musicman20
    Ive always wanted to try these out...seem to get amazing reviews!
  10. Musicman20
    Definitely try it flat, no filters. Perhaps try the F1/F500 - less warm, more punchy, very 'fast' response. Cabs - Never tried them enough. Their new NY122 is nice though.

    [quote name='NJE' post='1032250' date='Nov 22 2010, 09:25 AM']Apologies in advance for a slight hijack but I am looking at a few Stingrays at the moment and was wondering if any of you MusicMan aficionados would be able to comment on price for me? I am looking at a 87 Stingray for £1300 and was wondering if this was about normal for an early-ish Ray? seems a little hight to me? Thanks, Nathan[/quote] Hmm, im not pre 90s expert, but that seems a little high to me. To the OP, if you can get a nice very clean Ray for £800, (and I mean REALLY clean) then it will hold its value around there as long as you look after it. Original case adds £50 or so as the MM cases are about £125 or something now.

    [quote name='Floyd Pepper' post='1031847' date='Nov 21 2010, 08:35 PM']Yep I saw that too, although looking at the dates of posts, I kind of assumed that it was the early units that they were referring to. (Jan/Feb). Surely, if Ampeg had a known problem then they would do something about it by now??....at least I'd hope so.[/quote] I hope so! Im sure the warranty will cover it if you get one.

    [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='1031773' date='Nov 21 2010, 08:05 PM']Went to see Steve Lukather on Friday night - fell in love with a MM5. I'm really glad I can't find one for sale anywhere cos I'd be about £2,000 worse off right now. Bassist was Renee Jones. [/quote] Im guessing thats a Sterling 5 HH? Trust me, shop around and you can get them for under £1500....brand new Bit of haggling doesnt hurt as well! Ive got my Sterling 5 HS on order and I cannot wait
  14. Musicman20
    I also looked into these. Nice amps, lots of features. The biggest worry I would have is the amount of people on talkbass sending them back due to failures....not good Ampeg dont make them like they used to.
  15. Musicman20
    Well, I still want one. But, I really dont need one. I prefer the stylings of the Big Al at the moment, so Im going to enjoy whats coming and leave the Bongo until I get to try one out properly. Im still currently looking for the Jazz bass for 'me', which hopefully will not cost nowhere near as much.
  16. Musicman20
    The ONLY issue I find on the Laklands are weight and the 35" scale. I find some of them are SUPER heavy....some are not. Also, the neck is super comfy, but my hands got very tired very quickly...but thats probably just me as I have quite small hands. I think Ive realised 34" is perfect for me. But, if you like the necks, the Lakkies are good basses. Again, Ive had bad experiences with their quality control, but that's just whats happened to me.
  17. Musicman20
    The Bongo slap tone is just....HUGE!!!
  18. Musicman20
    Tis a crazy market at the moment. Bargain prices and still no responses. Ive decided the time is not right to sell anything so im keeping my LM3....too good to sell at a low price.
  19. Musicman20
    What the pi** is going on?! Oh, SVT...
  20. Musicman20
    First thing that strikes me is that stunning grain...what a finish!
  21. Musicman20
    Didnt the 'old' versions of the USA Deluxe Jazz basses come in 24 fret format? They looked plain wrong to me.

    [quote name='supabock' post='1028998' date='Nov 19 2010, 10:45 AM']Its not a scam nor does it have a hidden agenda, I just think its trying to make musical gear a little more accessible to those who wouldn't normally be able to afford it, and at the same time giving the resellers the opportunity to stay in business by moving stock, so everyone's a winner really[/quote] Agreed. The only problem I can see is that you may be paying something off still when the next version of it comes out haha! Also, you probably get a better price 'haggle' if you pay the whole wedge. Other than that, good idea! I dont see why people would think its a bad idea when people spend a fortune on a car for it to depreciate by huge amounts before youve paid it off.
  23. Musicman20
    I sold my American Standard (well traded for a good price) as I wanted a rosewood board version. I still havent reordered one, as Im never 100% 'right' on Jazz necks, but Im very close to just getting another in 3TS/Rosewood.
  24. Musicman20
    Has anyone thought about the 1000 Watt BT?! I bet that paired with a Berg NV412 would be pure magic.
  25. Musicman20
    I used a similar scheme when I was about 18/19 to buy my dream Natural 3EQ Ray....I paid £500 off and then the rest in 6 installments, interest free. It was no hassle, I must admit. If you have a steady income, no probs! I figure sometimes its actually a good way round of snagging what you want. Depends how much you want it. Alternatively, you could do what a lot of people do, and get a 12 month (or even more with Tesco) interest free credit card and manage it yourself. That's what I do....and when the card has no more interest free months, make sure its paid off then move to another. Builds your credit rating and also its a great way of being able to buy what you want if you are sensible and have a decent income. Before I started this job, I wouldnt have done it so often, but I work hard, so I reward myself
