    [quote name='Mike Brooks' timestamp='1490363632' post='3264611'] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Tapping into the collective knowledge....just bought a Status Streamline for overseas gigs, have a gigbag but looking for the smallest, stripped down gigbag or 'sleeve' for carrying the bass as hand luggage. Looking at possibly having Roqsolid Covers make something but just wondered if you fine people had found something already available that does the job and takes away the extra baggage that gigbags inevitably have. A shoulder carry strap would be handy but not essential. Any thoughts?[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Mike[/font][/color] [/quote] Have a look at Thomann site for a Warwick Rockbag for ( Steinberg) headless bass...bag model RB20601B I think that's the correct number. I had one for a headless to carry on plane trips, pretty good bag all round, not too expensive.

    I have one, used it a lot for flights and road, still in one piece but always needs mini padlocks when flying and as mine is an earlier one, I put gaffa tape over the lock area in flight, stops the locks from getting caught up etc. Great for hauling through airports on the wheels, decent handles moulded in. I put my bass in a thick padded gig bag inside it.

    [quote name='Dancj' timestamp='1489682723' post='3258972'] Yeah I guess I just meant that if money and space are no object that's probably what I'd have. Having said that, the tone I get from this is genuinely outstanding. [/quote] Thanks again Dancj, your comments have been helpful.

    [quote name='Dancj' timestamp='1489673740' post='3258864'] Had one with the ninja amp since October I think. Absolutely. Love. It. Soundwise: naturally it's what your ears like, but for me it's really easy to get amazing tones with my 66 Jazz or Stingray Classic. It's great for brighter, slappy stuff but also fantastic for the warmer tones. It's not even like it's just average with certain tones but it's genuinely amazing at everything I try (FOR ME). The rest: I have a fiat panda as a car. it's small. I can get this cab in my boot without putting seats down. For me, that was vital - I needed small and powerful and I think this is about as good as it gets in that department. I got them before the prices went up on them too and so the value for me was great. It's plenty loud enough quite a bit below half master/gain etc. For bigger venues it's also able to be pushed no issues. All in all: I absolutely love it and I don't see me changing it ever because it's perfect for me in every way - I'm lucky because it just seems to fit my bill spot on. Maybe different for you/others! I think in general if you've got the space/no issues with lugging gear, I'd probably go for 2 4x10s/8x10s as I love that cushion of bass! Hope that helps! [/quote] Thanks dancj....it all helps! Yes going from a single 2x12 to 2 4x10 would give a certain 'extra' cushion of bass indeed!

    [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1489054660' post='3253964'] I'm just wondering if anyone uses the MB Ninja cab for their thoughts, especially if they have other MB cabs to rate it alongside. I'm thinking of going back to a cab like this for some of my gigs as many years ago I had a 2x12" cab with ATC speakers. The cab was made from plans by a cabinet maker and weighed a ton with the ATCs. It never let me down though so thoughts are fo the Ninja 8 ohm 800 watt cab. [/quote] bumping to see if anyone has one even?

    www.axesrus.co.uk They have or can get the HB7.... click on 'technical details' on the HB7 page and the tuner schematic should open, may help.

    Heck, I've never seen a G string so close to the edge of the fboard. Maybe the nut or bridge needs some serious looking at.

    [quote name='neilcoleman' timestamp='1487805579' post='3243206'] Still up for grabs? [/quote] I bought a set of these off logicred over xmas neilcoleman so they probably aren't available anymore, maybe pm him to double check. Just letting you know in case he doesn't look at basschat often.

    In the days of black and white I traded in a 4001 stereo for a Gibson Les Paul Bass, had a new neck put on to make it 34" scale with a bass clef inlay at the 12th fret, by Dick Knight. Fantastic job done, I later sold or traded or swapped it. Any Basschatter got this bass, I wonder?

    Top man Ray, met halfway to collect a bass from me at Winchester station, a good natter as we both once hailed from Twickers/west London area, catching up on haunts in the area. Strangely enough, a stranger overheard us talking about gigs and joined in with.....'my first gig was on guitar at the original Glastonbury with my mate Daisy (male) getting up to sing along with the Carol Grimes Band'. Turns out this chap also once lived in Twickers and also that I knew Daisy myself (RIP) and a host of other people from the area. Small world, thanks Ray, an interesting afternoon!

    One of my favourite groups Mike.....is this off the new cd/DVD set?

    The larger 2x10 MarkBass are good stand alone cabs anyway but it looks like the NY 122 'Ninja' cab is 800watts @8 ohms so your (MB) amp could run a second 8ohm cab, while the NY 122 is a 4ohm cab so no more added cabs.
  19. mybass
    takes a few seconds to allow sound through on both my MB amps, quite normal. Maybe yours hadn't been used for a while when you got it.

    Perhaps visit a bass shop that has some of the slim neck basses like Ibanez, Warwick?

    D'Addario have a number stamp on each pack that can be cross referenced on their website, ( under the 'play real' tab at the bottom of the page). I use this now as I had a dodgy set some years ago, half volume output no attack, I thought something was odd with the pickups for a while. Do Elixer have is system?

    [quote name='haimesy' timestamp='1485344817' post='3223247'] Hi Guys ..can anyone help me with these stamps on my Jazz . It's dates as 77/78 on the date website .. the pick ups are dated 79.. just curious what the neck and pocket stamps mean.. I believe it was a bit of a mish mash of parts at fender during this period .there quite faded but any info would be much appreciated .. john [/quote] I think they sometimes correspond to batch numbers in the factory (as my Tokai is), a signature could be the 'tech' who inspected the bass.

    [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1484491148' post='3215834'] [size=5](I may be tempted to trade for a Markbass 2x12 or Markbass combo).[/size] [size=5]This bass has sat in the cupboard after only doing a few gigs. I built it for ease of carrying onto flights to Italy some years ago using the Rockbag softcase (included in the price).[/size] [size=5]£500 gets you a bass with some lovely woods that give the bass great sustain. The upper outline follows the P bass design.[/size] [size=5]Beautiful 2 piece Mahogany main body wood that I was off a very old piece of furniture. American Black Walnut top that I purchased from a wood yard about twelve years ago. A five piece maple/wenge neck. Macassar ebony fingerboard. (The 'control' guard I cannot testify to what it was but looks very much like the maccassar f/board). Actual controls are Vol/Vol/Tone. [/size][size=5]The tuning system is a licensed one bought 'as new' and uses standard string single ball ends. Seymour Duncan humbuckers. There are two strap holders at the base end, allowing two strap place options. Scale length is 34" with a double octave neck. Nut width is a tad over 1.5" / 39.3mm. It has 3mm side dots starting from low F. The neck leans more towards a P bass size than a Jazz neck though I'm sure it would take being 'slimmed' down. There are six wood cupped screws holding the neck solidly in place. The body and neck have an oil finish (Tru oil on body).[/size] [size=5]I couldn't upload the mP3 sound clip but I have it available. It is recorded straight off a Yamaha desk.
