I'm in Town tomorrow after noon, I'll have a look round Cash Converters and stuff.

I was just about to nominate that or the Marshall MG for the worst amplifier I've ever heard!

I'd love to visit Adrian, he seems very warm and very genuine. But musicians are generally a friendly bunch.

Wish they'd bring back the V basses. What they've brought out just screams "meh" to me/.

So envious of you guys! Only a few weeks to go! AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

For every user that complains about Behringer quality there seems to be another that has owned their products for years of reliable service. They offer a three year warranty so any issues should arise if you use it fairly regularly. If mine self destructs outside warranty I will just put it down to experience and treasure the good times we'd shared. I don't think I will ever be happy to spend over a grand on a far east made valve amp. AD200B might tempt me if they ever add auto bias [/quote]\ Let us know how it works out, been thinking about buying one of these as a backup for my Ashdown CTM100, but I need another cab as they only take 4 ohms. Anyway, good luck with it. It's a nice price.

That isn't helping. Looks lovely though!

Word of caution, they're known in the guitar world for their unreliability (Behringer) and they used to set themselves on fire due to a plastic clip in the amplifiers which overheated. It's a good price and I'd be tempted myself however.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1475007521' post='3142310'] The custom Maruszczyk that I am waiting for. The most indulgent and most expensive. Hope it is good! [/quote] Was about to say the same thing, currently however it's all about my Mensinger flying V I'm getting made from Adrian and his building team right now.

[quote name='scrumpymike' timestamp='1475073923' post='3142824'] For me and others who are counting the weeks down to Maruszczyk Christmas, could you lucky owners tell us how good he is at keeping to his delivery promises? [/quote] I had a couple of delays, but that was because of them trying to finish what they had for the previous year and Winter NAMM. Hopefully this time round will be better. Can't wait for the sofa shot!

That is certainly unusual. I like it!

[quote name='AndroWal' timestamp='1475030642' post='3142442'] Week 12.... [/quote] I feel you. Week 5 and I'm already have impatience, God knows what I'll be like after 10 weeks.

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1474815157' post='3140708'] Oh nice one! I might just be edging closer to actually pulling the trigger on an order... [/quote] Another one! Nice to see a smallish business growing.

Never tried a BB Yamaha, but the guy I bought my Steve Harris Precision from is selling one. I'm tempted for sure. Heard wonderful things about it. But you know me and my love of the P Bass

[quote name='JamesBass' timestamp='1474803067' post='3140583'] Can they do nitro finishes? [/quote] I wonder this too. I don't actually know.

Not really interested in Fender basses (despite owning a couple) Hasn't this rumor been cropping up every once in a while over the last few years? Or am I completely wrong? I'm not really in the loop.

Sabaton in January, that's about it for me. Possibly Maiden in May and then SOS fest in Manchester with Power Quest headlining though.

Retrovibe, Squier and Vintage all do good options in that pricepoint. As do Harley Benton. Is there anything else you want apart from all that?because you've got a few to choose from.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1474796229' post='3140497'] Well, when I was looking everyone said 10 weeks. When I finished spec'ing mine, he said 15 weeks, so I said 'so it will be ready the week before christmas' and he said 'I hope'! [/quote] I still haven't found out the waiting time for mine, I'll email and ask, cause I'm selling stuff to fund this and it's going really slowly.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1474475021' post='3138290'] week 2 of 15.. its dragging [/quote] Week 6 here. I don't know how long it will be till it's done though

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1474395760' post='3137706'] Interesting to see what appears to be a 'relic'd' finished Maruszczyk on the Facebook page today... It would appear they're really trying to put Fender to the sword!

What is that? Unusual shape. I like it!

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1473554945' post='3131213'] Well there guitar stuff is well thought of. Plenty of people also rate there bass stuff. And there other pro audio products as you say have a good rep. Having had a look inside mine I think it's very well built and designed. I think the truth is they save money buy copying other well known designs or using there tried and tested modular parts. Using generic components and made in large quantities and there qc is probably less than other brands. Also your not paying a premium on a brand name. The Bugera range is there better gear and seems to be a step up from the standard Berhinger line. In the case of the Bugera btx 36000 there are real gig reports on forums etc people do like them and say they have plenty of power! Most people are angry as bugera rated the power at 3600w when the power ratings are approx half that figure. They seem to have a habit of that so they get a backlash which I agree with. Also there past history wasn't as good. But it seems since Bugera products arrived they started to change for the better. They are now a matured manufacturing company maybe. And every new product they launch seems a little bit better at least there higher end lines are. Although ripping off other companies designs both circuitry and aesthetics as closely as they have done and continue to do is a bit wrong, It does pass on a huge saving to the customer while also having a relatively good product. I think you can only try these things and see for yourself. [/quote] From other forums I've been on the Bugera's have many, many reliability issues.

Still waiting. The wait doesn't get any easier.
