    Well, I'm looking at my current situation:Band rehearsal once every two weeks ,a few 'keepers' and a possibility of getting my hands on 1 more bass that SHOULD complete my collection. Okay , what I want soonest : Headcase for Aguilar AG500sc in TWEED. What I wouldn't mind having eventually: Yellow Kubicki Ex Factor (drop D tuner) Dean Stylist bass (yellow taxi style) ..yes yellow seems to be my choice of colour. (could be worse ,could be pink) Zon headless bass. If I got a kubicki,the 5 string may go,and apart from gorgeous..it rocks! (not many of them in the uk) Things I could be offloading : Eden Nemesis nc-250 combo . Awesome! Me and band love it, but my rig is smaller,coz I don't drive. 8 string bass by CH guitars . Excellent condition ,but I can't see this being used much. Loud! Active p/ups. Made in korea. Heavy and solid.Will find out body material (but think it's maple) 6 string bass by CH Guitars . Home use only. Strap button was removed ,as the one on my steiney broke. Made in china. Acoustic bass by CH Guitars . (slight chip on bridge thingy) not electric. Good for the tired bassist who just wants to noodle. Effects: Bass V-AMP PRO still have box/instructions mint condition.. May do exchange for Bootzilla pedal . I don't want to post anything. If you're interested ,I'm based in Twickenham. I could meet in central london. I rehearse in Acton every other sunday,which is a great way of having a feel and see what you think. A rough guideline cashwise? If you were to buy one of the electric basses WITH THE EDEN COMBO£470.00 approx. Any ideas, please let me know. No hurry,no worry. Just contemplating my situation at the mo' Cheers RATM

    [quote name='Adrenochrome' post='669774' date='Nov 30 2009, 09:25 AM']I saw various bands when I was growing up at festivals, bike rallies etc. I think the first name band that I was aware of was Slade at a daytime roadshow gig in about '82 but they mimed and I was dissapointed. I had a ticket for a Cult gig in 85 that was cancelled, so I guess the first big gig I went to without adult supervision was Dio with Warlock in support in 87. Both bands were great for different reasons.[/quote] Yeah,I saw Dio and Warlock .Hammy odeon tho'. Really good gig. Apart from being a real stunner,I think that Doro is my fave female singer

    That was good

    [quote name='pietruszka' post='668189' date='Nov 28 2009, 12:40 PM']Is it the plywood rack mount one? If it is, it should let the head 'breath' as you put it. I suppose they wouldnt make them if they were'nt suitable. Plus, theyre really protective! You cant go wrong with it! I have the padded case which is excllent, obviously you cant leave it in the case when using it but it does the job well to transport it. Hope this helps. Dan[/quote] Thanks Dan. Think I'll get one .

    [quote name='Clarky' post='668193' date='Nov 28 2009, 12:44 PM']I had one a year or two back when I had an AG500. It looks great, is very protective and has no obstruction for the venting. The only thing is - as it is open front and back - it doesn't completely surround the head (unlike a rack case with removable ends) so if you are carrying it in the rain between car and venue door you will need to drape something over it to keep it dry. Otherwise highly recommended, if a little pricey[/quote] Yeah,its an Ag 500sc I have. I notice that the head is not properly protected,and a little pricey. I'd probably use a carrier bag between car and venue. to protect it. I 'm gonna get a tweed one . The main concern was the ventilation. And of course ,it makes things easier if I can just leave head in cab ,play and take home without putting it in an out of case. Cheers

    [quote name='MacDaddy' post='668341' date='Nov 28 2009, 03:06 PM']Monsters of Rock 1988 Helloween Megadeth Guns n Roses David Lee Roth Kiss Iron Maiden still have the tee shirt.[/quote] I was there.Never forget the stampede when Guns came on,seriously dangerous. I was wondering why Megadeth were so bad,but Mr.Mustaine nearly died afterwards apparently. I was a fan of Helloween,but I wasn't too impressed with them there. The rest were good,and Maiden played a blinder

    I remember seeing this lot ,on the 'crazy Tights' tour at wembley. There was a post strike(no internet in those days).Lots of empty seats. They were appalling,and were going through the motions at best. They couldn't wait to get off ,and we just thought 'good riddance'. Paul Stanley was so irritatating, touching his hair as if he just washed it. Saw them at the Monsters of rock ,Donington/Cologne the same year , and they were much better.

    ....or useless. I was considering getting one of these,but I don't know if there is any room for my Aggie head to' breathe' . So, should I get one,or leave it??
  10. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    What about the headcases, are they any good anybody??
  11. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    If you love it,and are willing to spend another £200.00 approx, you could try S.I.M.S or the like. Or get loads of stickers
  12. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Shame , hopefully the locals could make the place rat infested and get the place back to a music venue.
  13. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Haven't used them yet,but it's nice to know that there is great customer service alive and kicking

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='664535' date='Nov 24 2009, 11:35 PM']I had a link to this one on my thread [url="http://www.liftruck.co.uk/ruxxac-carts.html"]http://www.liftruck.co.uk/ruxxac-carts.html[/url] But the price...![/quote] Pricey.......

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='664379' date='Nov 24 2009, 09:38 PM']Loads of places will supply casters BUT if you are fitting them to the base of the cab have you considered how far you would have to bend down to push it? I'm looking for a sack trolley to put mine onto.[/quote] Cheers for the quick reply Warwick Yeah,forgot about that. If I was the size of Ronnie Dio ,or even corbett castors would have been better. Think you're right about the trolley. A while back, a nice BC sent me a link to a good one. Then , my computer had problems making me lose everything..........

    I'd rather get a Dean Taxi bass....more cheerful, less cluttered
  19. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    A couple of things have been nagging me lately. (I don't have a wife) I was wondering ,regarding the DB112 Cabinet whether I could get some castors for it. If so, where? (Those narrow prison like spaces in practice rooms are getting to me) Regarding the Head, are those 'Head Cases' of any use? Can the amp breathe? If so, I would like to get a Tweed one. Please advise Cheers

    I met Cliff once,and I asked him about the effects I should buy. 'Get a phaser' was his reply
  21. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Nice....... I was after a GK setup a while ago. If the Aguilar never came up,I would've probably got something like that
  22. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    For that price, go for Hohner jack . Or you may get a Washburn Status off ebay for around £250.00 max. I forgot, the Washburn may not be 'punk' : enough
  23. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Get a Fender Mustang?
  24. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Cool! If it was a Yellow one,I would have it. I've got 1 black bass already Bumpy bump anyhow. This will go soon......
  25. RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE
    Thanks Chaps I'll stick tomy Aguilar after all . I'd be mad to sell it . I wouldn't let anybody else use it. You can probaly see from my sig, that I have enough to be getting on with I was contemplating , selling 1 or 2 effects ,but after your input I think I'll keep'em for now. Cheers
