If your band won't do Clash songs get yourself another band they've obviously a bunch of miserable gits with no musical taste at all

I thought this thread was stupidly easy tunes to play, no names but I get the impression some people nominate quiet difficult songs to try and make themselves look good, or perhaps I'm just a crap bass player

If it's any help I got £730 for mine, tried it on ebay for £800 no takers, with ebay fees being around £70 I got my price and somebody got a Stingray at, what I consider a fair price

guess what yet another failure of my mb115 same probs as last time the solder on the inductor coil broke third time this cab has failed.not good
[/quote

I touched on this before, would it really matter if the crossover and tweeter were bypassed in the extension cab, can't believe it would make much difference especially if used in conjunction with a combo, I know it's not ideal but at least it wouldn't fail in the middle of a gig

[quote name='bookmaker13' post='685964' date='Dec 16 2009, 12:56 AM']Yeh, it is a tad on the heavy side, but nowhere near as heavy as the old peavy im using now. Ive been asured that the cab is built especially for this amp, so it should be fine, but then is it really needed, i saw a local pub band using one on sundayand for a 450 tranny combo it cuts through quite nicely, And for the price i'd say go for it. A good "starter model" if you will.[/quote]

Just checked and the 4410 is only 300 watt at 4 ohm same as the 4210, so an extension cab would be needed to take it up to 450watt at 2ohm, I use an 1 x 15 extension cab (not a marshall) with my 4210 and it certainly gives it more grunt although the extra volume's never been needed yet!
Just a footnote on build quality, further to my earlier post when I connected the 2nd speaker up it sounded terrible, eventually sussed that it had been wired up out of phase, not by me, the amp came with the black speaker lead connected to the + terminal on the 2nd speaker.
I may be wrong but most of the faults seem to be caused by dodgy speakers rather than the amp section

[quote name='bookmaker13' post='683499' date='Dec 13 2009, 10:38 PM']I was looking at the Marshall MB 4410 450 watt 4x10 in my locashop the other day, tried it out and fair play there was a nice tone on it. The bloke in the shop told me for what it is, it's a pretty loud B***ard too. Even offered me an extra 15" cabinet to go with it for £500 in total, saving about £90. If id had the cash i'd have bitten his arm off. I'm def getting it in the new year.[/quote]

I was tempted with the 4 x 10 but it's bloody heavy, didn't fancy lifting it into my car! don't know how you'd use an extension cab with the 4 x 10 cause that one is already running at 2 ohms, be aware of build quality issues though but hopefully Marshall have got it sorted by now, brilliant amps for the money though

[quote name='Al Heeley' post='678753' date='Dec 9 2009, 07:57 AM']Latest count: 4 separate failures of crossover cards on either MB4210 or MBC115 cab in the 11 months since I bought them. I kicked up a fuss and Marshall agreed I could return them for a refund, only the internet store where I purchased them kicked up a bigger fuss about accepting them back for repair/replacement since they are now reparied and functioning. I had to point out very firmly it was refund I wanted.
I have lost confidence in them after 4 failures during gigs, sodering of crossover card components was the culprit each time, rendering the amp unfit for use (it doesn't like vibrations much). With the help of Marshall, the retail outlet finally agreed to credit me, so I'm just getting then packed up for return.
Sad, they are a lot of power for the money, and some good tones can be had, but reliabilty has been a big issue for me.[/quote]

4 crossover failures eh, I can see why you want a refund.
I'll keep everybody posted if I get anymore faults with mine, or even if I don't
Just a thought, I've never quite understood the need for tweeters on bass cabs, what would happen if the crossover was bypassed and the cables were connected straight onto the speakers? I did that on my Carlsbro combo and couldn't tell any difference

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='678334' date='Dec 8 2009, 07:19 PM']exactly my point, you will always be worried it will let you down.


STAY CLEAR AT ALL COST, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]

You're right of course, but if you're on a budget the Marshall has an awesome sound and is seriously loud, but people should be aware of the build quality issues, personally I can put up with them because I have decent backup and hopefully any reliability problems will surface while under guarantee, and I can use a soldiering iron! Lets not forget Ashdown have more than their fair share of critics too.
You pays your money, it's just a question of how much you've got

the French call everything he or she, so yes it's wierd

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='650726' date='Nov 10 2009, 03:19 PM']Just heard from Dolphin music who sold me the amp, Marshall have sent me a brand new one, which is a bit of a result cause the one I bought was an ex demo.[/quote]

was in the studio on Sunday and the engineer says "you do realise only one of your speakers is working" so I've took the front off and sure enough one of the speaker spade connectors has fell in half. Do I repair it myself and risk the warrantee or go to all the hassle of sendiing it back to Marshall?
These are marvelous amps for the money but make sure you have a back up for gigs

[quote name='PaulWarning' post='667647' date='Nov 27 2009, 06:17 PM']Back up for sale again my left Handed 4 string 3 Eq Musicman Stingray. It is in good condition slight scratching/scuffing where I rest my hand while playing (I play with a pick) though you have to hold it up to the light to see them so they don't show in the photo, and one ding as in the photo. I've now got my MIA P Bass which suits my proposed Clash tribute band better, so it's got to go though I'm not desperate it's just not getting played much anymore.
I've reduced the price to £730 which I think is a fair price so no offers please and no p/ex.
I live between Nottingham and Derby if anybody wants to take a look, post and packing £20

The Stingray has now been sold

[quote name='tografox' post='667897' date='Nov 28 2009, 12:37 AM']Hi,
I've got a P Bass 'Bitza' - listed on my post somewhere on Basschat!!
It's a Warmoth P neck - rosewood board on maple - Japanese P body in Sunburst (possible ash, probably poplar or basswood), mint pickguard, heavy duty bridge (Gotoh 201 copy), Kent Armstrong Vintage pickups, CTS pots. Strung with Fender 9050 flatties.
Overall its as good as, if not better than, a Mexican Fender - except there aren't any Mexican leftie Ps, only Js.
Can send pics if interested.
Would be happy to do a trade - with cash adjustment on my part.
(always like the idea of a maple/maple Ray to go with my rosewood/maple Ray and the Bitza is a backup).

Let me know if you're interested,

Bob

(I'm also (probably) selling my Ric 4003 - but that would need a rather generous adjustment from you!)[/quote]

A lot of these might be easy for the bass palyer but what about the poor guitarists

trouble is with drum machines you can't blame the drummer when you go out of time

Can I suggest you put the word Bass in the description, it doesn't come up when "Left handed bass" is entered in search, might get you a better price

[quote name='purpleblob' post='604958' date='Sep 21 2009, 08:48 PM']I never understand why there seems to be a trend towards knocking slap bass playing (well I suspect I do understand, it's all those Mark King wannabe's that are all technique and no musicallity). At the end of the day it's what ever works for the music whether it be slap, finger style or tapping (but please no plectrums ! )[/quote]
and why not

the bass sound on the first 3 stranglers was a fluke, JJ could only get it with his green P bass, once he'd broke it in half punching it during a gig he couldn't get that wonderful tone again, perhaps it was a flaw in the wood of the bass that enabled it to sound like that

No bidding war, it had a starting price of £699 and was due to finish Sept 25th, but the seller obviousley got an offer of £750 and finished it early, I didn't even know you could do that
