Not surprised the shop closed with the staff in there! Wouldn't be surprised if they dissappeared altogether with their rubbish website too.

I got the Dickens one a while back for very cheap off the net somewhere (don't remember where), but haven't had time to sit down and properly go through it, seems okay though.

Seen a picture of it assembled

...these 2 smilies is causing me great trouble, as they are, the best smilies ever!

You might be able to pick up a used Ampeg B2RE for that, or pay £400 for a new one.

Been delayed because of one of the pickups being dead, so no to Wednesday now, think I will keep the day off anyway and play xbox, haha.

I finally dragged this up to my room to join the rest of my musical crap, anyway.....

Yeah, I did like the Mesa, but I gave up bass for a couple of years and concentrated on guitar and it was before I gave up that I sold it. Not sure the trace model, it was a 1x15 combo, 300 watts I think, and I had the matching 4x10, it was my first proper amp, spent my uni loan on it from flying pig music!

I've owned a couple of SWR, Mesa Boogie Basis M 2000, Ashdown Superfly, Trace Elliot, Markbass Little Mark, and a bunch I cannot even remember anymore! If I decide to get another amp, it'll probably be Eden or a Thunderfunk, or another Markbass as I did like that and it was the closest to what I want, or maybe even a POD XT pro and a poweramp to give the versatility.

[quote name='minty fresh death' post='128311' date='Jan 26 2008, 04:59 PM']What sort of stuff were you playing on the SWR?[/quote] I play kinda hip hop stuff, I am actually still yet to find a sound I am totally happy with, I have an issue with so many different style of songs and not enough bass sounds (hence why I thought the superfly was a good idea). When I was younger, I pretty much exclusively played in metal and hardcore bands.

I dunno, probably 6/7/8 months? What do you want to know? I'm not very good at describing amps, I never had a use for the overdrive, so apart from turning it on once or twice when messing around and bored I can't tell you much like how it cuts through etc. Sounds like a normal SWR, it wasn't modern and clean sounding enough for me in the end (like markbass are), when I started playing SWR were my dream heads, and I guess that's why I picked it up, but at the end of the day it doesn't suit what I do now. I miss my markbass now, but my vocalist is travelling the world, so I hardly play (hence why I have a dirt cheap superfly).

I had one, and had no issues whatsoever with the reliability in the time I had it, I just went off the sound in the band I played in (and had a cheaper head I could use instead, which was a markbass).

Played with them a while ago, one of the worst bands I've ever seen, haha, she seemed nice though, watched my bands whole set and chatted with our vocalist after.

I've not heard another ACG to compare to! But I should be in the studio with it sometime, so you can all hear it then, or if I go to one of those bash thingies.

This is an artists impression of what mine shall look like, but, from what I've seen so far, it will look much better.....

[quote name='nash' post='126420' date='Jan 23 2008, 08:27 PM']well its gonna be for my 6x10 when its built[/quote] Marshall sell the stuff, and for a cheap price too, I got a bunch of purple levant from them a couple of years back, and some nice cloth.

I've seen them for sale quite a bit, but never tried one as I think they are hideous.

Awesome price, someone else buy it so I don't! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hiwatt-200-watt-bass-head-ampeg-orange-matamp-vintage_W0QQitemZ300193325832"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Hiwatt-200-watt-bass...emZ300193325832[/url] Look at their other items for the cabs.

Just phone Marshall up.

Booked next Wednesday off for delivery, if you lot are lucky, I may show you some pictures then.

Should get it next week! No pictures til it's in my hands though.
