My mate paid nearly £900 for his 1x15 evo when they first came out years ago, right after he bought it they upped it to 500w (his is 300w) and lowered the price! Sounds bloody awful too, i gigged with it a few times and wished i could take off all the buttons and sliders and add a "better and louder" switch. Oh and it's too heavy too!

+1 Our guitarist has a tilted one and it works a treat. I have a head and cab though so would need a horizontal one. Any recommendations?

I think this guy can beat that!

By the looks of things you get a tuner, lead and strap too although that's just on the picture and not listed

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='321508' date='Nov 4 2008, 06:38 AM']hey! yeah ive got a mesa but it only pushes out the 750w when running a 2ohm cab, 500w when running a 4ohm cab and around 300w when running an 8 ohm cab! the hartke is 8 ohms and it seemed plenty loud enough! if im honest we're not a really loud band, i dont seem to need to have the amp master volume much past 10 oclock! and yeah its just for rehearsals at the moment as i have my aguilar DB410 for gigs! that looks like a cracking deal on ebay by the way!![/quote] Sounds like your sorted then! I agree with steve in that you might get one cheaper if you look around, however this one is mint, it's already in your rehearsal room and you can pay in interest free instalments so that sweetens the deal! I used a VX215 as my rehearsal cab for ages out of pure laziness as i could leave it at the practice room and wish i could still do that, miss just taking a bass and head to practice

I tried it before buying the XL cabs, think it handles 100w less IIRC and flakes out earlier, i used a 500w head so needed more power handling. Think they're good for the money though. There's this on ebay at the mo too : [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hartke-HA2500-Transporter-115TP-Cab_W0QQitemZ270277419444QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270277419444&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hartke-HA2500-Transp...%3A1|240%3A1318[/url] Get the lot!!! EDIT: Just seen you have a mesa head so you'll prob be looking for something with a higher rating. I think the TP is only 300w. Is it just for rehearsals?

The best bit is that god-awful string bend that's way out of tune! I think this guy probably died a dishonourable death after this performance when he met his local Fodera dealer!

Agree with the Squeir love! I tried a few MIM jazzes before i bought mine and the Squier felt and sounded better. The second hand MIA Jazz i tried was more than 3 times the price and definitely did not sound 3 times as good. Stuck Barts in my Squier and it kicked the MIA into touch If you really want an F on the headstock buy a decal for under a tenner!

Went about a minute after i posted this! Anyone from here?

Here's a kay for £40 BIN [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kay-bass-collectable_W0QQitemZ290262129542QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item290262129542&_trkparms=72%3A1298|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kay-bass-collectable...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url]

The neck on my jazz is wider and chunkier in the hand than a typical jazz, just something to be aware of. I'm not unhappy with it, it's still a great neck, just not what i was expecting! Don't know if they still make em like that

Sorry if i'm pointing out the obvious, but are you using it with a universal ac adapter? If so the polarity might be the wrong way round. I think it should be tip negative (my syb3 is) Otherwise probably best to contact the seller before having it looked at elsewhere, might be a problem if you have to return it

I have found that my Russian Big Muff does suck the tone slightly so would appreciate a link to a true bypass mod. Also they can be very noisy when switched on but out of all the distortions i've tried it's the rudest and my personal favourite! I'm sending mine to the shop to be looked at so the noise problem may be a fault with mine Bear in mind you'll have to mod it to accept mains power as they are battery only when new and they eat batteries for fun They are miles better for bass then the USA version, i bought the USA one in error before i got mine and there was no real low end to it. The Russian Muff has loads of bass clout and sounds incredibly rich and thick

Blowtorch (of the bass pedal variety) arrived today, thanks again. I particularly liked the Rice Krispies box to house the adapter, quality stuff! Cheers Steve

Again, great guy to deal with and power unit arrived very well packaged. Cheers dude!

Pedal arrived very quiclkly and was very well packed. Always a pleasure, never a chore! Cheers Steve

Been meaning to set one of these things up for a while so do your worst!

Received my Warmoth Jazz in just an unlocked Gator case with a Parcel Force sticker slapped on it!
