Ashington... genuinely the R&R capital of the North East of England! This is the first proper gig for my 'new' band. I say 'new' but we've been rehearsing ages and everyone in the band is FAR from new as we are all seasoned gigging musicians. We are a six piece outfit doing a southern rock type vibe covering artists like; Springsteen, Eagles, Skynyrd, Jackson Brown, Bob Seger, Doobies....etc and even a bit of new country with the the likes of the Warren Brothers, Travis Tritt diversifying into a bit of Frankie Miller (distinctly not American) and Hot House Flowers. If you happen to be at a loose end on Friday 29th and live locally come along and listen/watch a band enjoy themselves. [size=4]Stateside Preachers are endorsed by 'Lumberjacks R us'[/size]

Any EQ other than; bass mid and treble... if an amps designed correctly that's all you need (says than man with 4 bands of semi-parametric EQ on his amp that NEVER get used)!

I realise that the response will be that the amps are esoteric, high end bits of kit that will have point to point wiring done by hand etc but by crickey that's a lot of money to anyone and the cabs in particular; they are essentially bog standard cabs... phew!

You've written yourself a very nice review! I doubt you'll get many folks on this forum sharing their views on this equipment as most of us will never have heard of it let alone seen or played through it. What sort of cost (£sterling) are we talking about to acquire a rig like yours; it 'looks' very appealing.

That's the first beer that made me sit up and say woah![/quote] McEwans... good old Geordie ale but you are going back some ways! Brown Ale (Bottles of Dog) is a (ahem) step up from McEwans; though I still rate a 'good' pint of McEwans Scotch as one of the finest pints of beer.

I did a deal with a Canadian guy and from the outset I stated what I wanted in £sterling. When he made the transfer he had based it upon an 'on-line' rate; unfortunately the reality was VERY different and we were over £100 out. Due to the fact that I'd always stated that it had to be in UK currency we sorted it but I did offer him a full refund if he didn't want to proceed due to the difference for him. I have to agree that in your instance, offering to split the difference is preferable to souring an £850 deal.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='995110' date='Oct 20 2010, 05:19 PM']Oh, and for the record, it weighs exactly 8.5lbs so its pretty light.[/quote] is that 8 point 5lb (ie 8lb 8oz) or 8lb 5oz? How come whenever I ask about the weight of these people all seem to say less than 8 1/2lb yet everyone that I've weighed has been between 9-10lb... and yes I've had my scales checked!

[quote name='Sheldon Dingwall' post='994186' date='Oct 19 2010, 10:28 PM']Who are these guys? I appreciate that even though they based it on one of our designs they put a lot of their own design ideas into it.[/quote] [quote name='Happy Jack' post='994224' date='Oct 19 2010, 11:01 PM']Wind up, or genuine?[/quote] If it is genuinely SD, I claim a free (OK discounted) bass for uncovering this fraud! ... No serious I do.

[quote name='spinynorman' post='992973' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:50 PM']I wonder if anyone thinks they're getting a Squier Vintage Modified Precision?[/quote] The wording of the listing certainly snags anyone looking for that model bass.
