Will it be safe to balance quite a heavy rack on a 610 cab (12" deep)??[/quote] The larger platform would be fine. I used to put my 6x10 on it and they are a solid platform regardless of the foam (which is quite firm). [quote name='Faithless' post='935291' date='Aug 24 2010, 08:29 PM']How about trasportation issues? Is it flexible enough to hook into your baggage when flying?[/quote] If you are talking about the Gramma Pad, they are a solid board mounted on foam, so no they will not fold or flex.

If Haltwhistle isn't too much of a hike, I can recommend Dave Wilson. www.dwilsonguitars.com

I was petrified it would leech the solid bottom end away from my DB112's... but it doesn't!

So did someone snipe this bass or can we expect to see it appear for sale on BC some time soon?

[quote name='Annoying Twit' post='933713' date='Aug 23 2010, 02:32 PM']I'd be concerned about ebay not refunding the postage though.[/quote] As would I but you'd be amazed how often ebay/paypal favour the buyer... especially if they thought they could stamp on the postage overcharging, which diddles eBay out of fees. Saying all of that, the guy is just trying to get a decent price for his items whilst circumventing the eBay fees... can't blame him for the latter part of that.

[quote name='cameltoe' post='933690' date='Aug 23 2010, 02:14 PM']Can you not buy it and pay, wait for it to arrive, and then dispute it through paypal and get the postage back? Claim you never realised, just looked at the total cost. I don't see how they won't refund it, if he's only paid £13 to post it.[/quote] Now 'that' is very devious... I like your way of thinking!

[quote name='AndyTravis' post='933576' date='Aug 23 2010, 01:05 PM']The Neck looks a little out of place, but you still do see ultra figured bits of maple on even lowly Mexican Strats and Teles, so it's not unheard of.[/quote] Agreed that you can get figured Fenders (even on recent cheapy stuff) but I've rarely seen one like that on a late 70's P bass and it looks heavily lacquered (tinted) and shiny in comparison to the body wear.

[quote name='SteveO' post='933453' date='Aug 23 2010, 11:06 AM']Some nasty looking lump of wood and metal - looked like it was painted black with hammerite smooth and with 'Fender' written on the headstock in silver paint. Must have been the contender for the worst counterfeit Fender ever.[/quote] Cheers. No surprise it was pulled then!

That's a highly figured piece of maple for a Fender bass, I'd be interested to know if the Fender experts think the neck is Fender and original? The x1 Jazz + x0.5 Precision pup seems an intriguing mod' I'd like to know the rational (and how it works) behind that. If it is wired in then its obviously intended to beef up the D G strings but I'm just not sure how that would pan out or (and this is my guess) is it just a Jazz pup and the 1/2 P pup is just to fill in the offending space!

This is for sale by the same seller on BC!

Worth a pop if you are based in Belfast otherwise I'd want full detailed pics... if it's too good to be true!

tbh giving an instrument a limited title etc can work in an odd reverse psychology kind of way. People will look to see what kind of electric bass (you would wouldn't you just in case it was that 'attic' 61 Fender Jazz that Dad forgot about) and then might think 'hmmm I'll watch that just in case it goes cheap'. I reckon £120 to £150!

Just another perspective. I own a pair of DB12's which I take as a pair to every gig and they sound phenomenal. However, due to the fact that I always take the 2 cabs out to 'every' gig (the sum of the two parts is much better than the whole) I do find myself hankering for a one box option and have seriously considered getting the 1212L on more than one occasion (the DB2x12 is just too big and heavy a single lift)... just petrified of losing that quality Aguilar DB tone! The grass is not always greener.

Anyone recommend a supplier, and somewhere to get the moulds done in Nottingham?[/quote] I don't know Nottingham at all BUT I believe that Specsavers will have a branch near you and they will either have an audiologist on site or the branch will direct you to the nearest one. Even though I've had a bit of hassle with mine, Specsavers have tried their damnedest to resolve it and it's mainly been down to the supplier of the actual filters not getting it right. If you go ahead you could get a set of ER9's and buy my 15's as spares for those louder gigs... or get the 25's and the 15's for quieter gigs!
