[quote name='donslow' timestamp='1438886439' post='2838457'] Anyone in the Essex-ish area handy with a router? Looking to add a jazz pickup in one of my precision bodies and quite frankly, don't trust myself enough with power tools to do it myself [/quote] If no one in Essex....try calling The Bass Gallery?

Excellent to deal with Pentode, all comms quick and thorough, great to deal with, cheers Pentode.

Everything happened exactly as it should and couldn't be better. Many thanks Pete! Cheers Grahame [/quote] Thanks Grahame, likewise very good to deal with you....

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1438765642' post='2836958'] Looking to upgrade my power supply for the pedal board folks. The Voodoo Lab PP2 is top of the list but I'm only stalling due to it being £150. What is everyone using? I like the idea of isolated supply for each pedal but not sure I can justify £150.. [/quote] these are pretty good, I have the blue one, around £100 I think...comes with loads of connectors. http://www.t-rex-effects.com/power-supplies/

[quote name='blamelouis' timestamp='1437928484' post='2830086'] http://youtu.be/GotQd8pKTGQ I love NHOP....phenomonal player and greatly underrated .

[quote name='mrn1989' timestamp='1436783498' post='2820623'] Im currently using a LMT800 head with x2 102P (2x10 Traveler) cabs and would like a little bit more thump but don't want to go up to the bigger 1x15, so heres what I'm thinking..... LMT800 2x10 Traveler (102P) 1x12 Traveler (121H) Would swapping a 2x10 out for a 1x12 give me better lows? I really do not want a 1x15" so no need to recommend it Current setup. [attachment=196203:IMG_1348.JPG] [/quote] The larger Markbass 2x10 gives more low end. I use both larger and traveller 2x10 stacked, sometimes with bigger cab on the top to hear a bit more bottom end.

Well the MK3 will be fine, though going to a Traveller 2x10 size cab from a 4x10 will be noticeable. Try looking at the larger MarkBass 2x10 cabinet, one of each is a powerhouse and will cover all gigs.

Try Victor C Knight, up in north London somewhere, I've been with them for car and music insurance for years. The man to speak to, Patrick, will be able to explain better about the ins and outs of insuring music instruments.

[quote name='mfisher91' timestamp='1429457920' post='2751544'] Hi all, I'm searching for a Markbass gig bag. Does anyone know of any where that sells them fairly cheaply? I've just purchased a markbass little mark 250 and need to get a gig bag as I'm out gigging next weekend, however I can't afford to spend too much on one. I've seen the Markbass ones for £70, but can't find any cheaper. Don't mind if it's not a markbass one as long as I know it fits perfectly! [/quote] Have a look at Thomann then..they appear to be just under £42 for the Little Mark gig bag (plus post I guess) at the moment. I've found it good to use and well made and front and back unzip to fold underneath and the back flap cover kind of 'velcro's' itself to Markbass cabs cloth covering so it doesn't slide off for any reason.

[quote name='flippyfloop' timestamp='1426625999' post='2720124'] Tried out a bass recently in a shop & ran through a 102hf cab. I've never been a fan of Markbass cabs but I really liked the sound of this one. Maybe the proper HF horn helped a lot as my past experience has been with the lighter, rear ported, piezo equipped cabs. So, anyone using these & care to comment ? [/quote] Terrific cabs....stack two and it will likely be all you'll need.....or with the smaller 2x10

Thanks people, all in all it appears (even from EBay themselves) that there are problems within their system and whether it is a USA based idea or not, it ain't working too good for the seller/ buyer. I've even had a completely different 'buyer' or scammer asking about buying it now, but I haven't a clue where the item has ended up and EBay said ignore that person. Whether EBay will trace this late mystery offer is another thing, who cares now, at least my money was made safe ' using EBay Global and Paypal', oh goody.

Beware....EBay recently altered my buyers address to their own UK Global Shipping warehouse, leaving me and buyer unaware. Item appears lost now. Buyer it turned out was actually resident in Belgium but all I saw on PayPal invoice was a UK address. PayPal refunds okay. Not even EBay phone operators knew the address was their own! Global shipping apparently started in Nov 2014 and has ' some minor problems'! I would have thought altering addresses without informing seller/ buyers was bad enough. I've 'strongly advised' EBay to put 'EBay Global Shipping' at the top of their address, not just Unit 1 such n such industrial estate , Derbyshire. I'd honestly thought it was buyers work address. PayPal have blamed Global Shipping but it took a lot of calles and emails to get sorted. Bah foohey.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1425038069' post='2703217'] I think it's probably used to a very subtle extent by most, and probably only really noticed onstage by the player. Remember the recent thread about the sound of bass at gigs from the audience's perspective? Not exactly the best aural experience. A player could use a Jazz bass or a Stingray and the final result, from the audience's perspective, is not going to be hugely different... but it is a BIG difference for the player... When I play, if I like what I hear it encourages me and makes me enjoy it more, and in turn I play just a little better... The compressor on my pedalboard probably has the same effect. Like I said, I play about 50% with an EBS multicomp, 50% without it... It's not that big of an effect at the end of the day! (It shouldn't really be, right? we're talking icing on the cake, really) [/quote] I've used it mostly to cut through for a solo here and there, help it cut through the band volume.
