There was some Hartke 2x10s in the for sale not so long ago IIRC, they're not too heavy and you could always get another for gigs and just use one for practice. There's also this which is a steal at the moment: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28311"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=28311[/url] I used to practice up 2 flights of stairs in a building with very high ceilings (we also used to store all our PA there....). Small and light is DEFINITELY the way to go if stairs are involved!

LMII - Everything pretty much flat, depending on the room/where the cab is etc. Sometimes a little high-mid boost . Have the VLE off and the VPF no further than 11 o'clock. If i need any boost i usually just use the 3 band eq on my bass

Keep an eye out for a steal, esp at this time of year. A while ago i saw a Standard Jazz in antique burst on ebay for £100 BIN. Nearly pulled the trigger, even though i'd just ordered mine!

Yep, you'd have 307w @ 4ohms

It'd look a bit silly turning up to practice with one of those on my pedalboard. Now if it were a Major Morgan.......

[quote name='bassbluestew' post='369986' date='Jan 4 2009, 03:10 PM']I recently got some, well two, Planet Waves Pro cables ( £18 for 10ft so not dead cheap ) and they keep falling out of my basses. I've used loads of different leads over the past 30 years and never had this problem before. It happens on all three of my basses, and only with these leads, no others. I contacted Planet Waves who have suggested I return them for "evaluation and possible replacement". Stewart[/quote] That's weird, i use planet waves cables too and found them the snuggest fit in all of my basses! Got mine ages ago though so they might be different now

Just out of interest, what would sort of price would you want for the Tobias?

The VM and CV Squiers are touted as the two better ranges, due to components and finishes i think. I have a Standard series Jazz and can't fault it construction wise, it feels much more expensive than it actually is and is exceptionally well put together. The finish is a little thick for my liking but it's a very nice looking bass. I was torn between the Antique Burst and the Walnut Satin, eventually choosing the latter. I don't like the Affinity series as they feel a bit cheaper but they still compete with similarly priced basses. Just not [i][/i]that[i][/i] much cheaper than the Standard. I was also told that the pickups are inferior (i never plugged it in because the Standard felt miles better!)

Quick update on the Warwick angled jacks. Got them a few days ago and just fired them up now. I'd be lying if i said they were a revelation compared to my old ones but they sound very clear and seem very robust. The cable is a lot thicker than on cheap moulded leads and the jacks are bulky metal jobbies with a plastic section. The seller also sent me a quid back in the post so they were under £3 each delivered!

They have to pay more for European made stuff .. oh and and Ashdown are probably still trendy and exotic there [/quote] Superflys are chinese made. You could get em for $279 in the USA and a lot of those were faulty examples

Ouch! The going rate for them is indeed about £100 Got mine new for £199 shipped (although it is from a dodgy batch)

Got the similar Warwick one. Can't praise it enough, esp. as i got it for £20!

Never knew she had such a voice!

Is the product called "rebelhead450"? If so then you naturally jump to the obvious conclusion. As for the whole iphone thing, i reckon (if it is ashdown and it is a head) it's something along the lines of the superfly, like an amp with a digital programmable front end? Just my uneducated guess! EDIT: There's also some schematic diagrams in there, saw "tuner out" so looks like a head or a pre...

It has made me spend a fortune, but i've got a sliced of that back through selling my old gear! The gear i've got off here has made me sound MILES better though... Also got to try loads of effects for half the new price, some i've kept and some i've passed on at cost for someone else to enjoy My missus hate's it, after all it is the reason she didn't get a holiday in 2008 as promised!

I would agree that the TP cab might not handle enough power. I have tried the TP and XL 4x10s and the TP flakes out sooner.
