[quote name='Musicman20' post='552597' date='Jul 27 2009, 01:30 PM']Hey Ive never tried EBS gear….interesting! Thanks for the input. I’ve just bought Geoff’s Berg HS410, so im giving the modular neo setup some more thought. I can’t justify spending just under £100 more on ONE AE112 compared to the price I got on the HS410. So, Berg is out for me….I’ve got a great Berg here so I’ll have to check other 1x12 manufacturers. In addition, me and Geoff had a chat about weight and casters when I bought the HS410, and we both came to the conclusion that If I buy two Aguilar DB112s, I actually have more weight than one of my DB212s, and with no casters. They would also weigh more/the same as the HS410 which seems mental. Sure, they are more modular, which is brilliant, but I don’t see the point in my scenario on getting anymore Aguilar cabs! Just a waste when I have two DB212s and one is damn loud on its own. Two is literally chocolate thunder! So…something that isn’t Berg or Aguilar. And this time, it HAS to be neo and modular. I have plenty of ceramic cabs. Has anyone got any experience with the Traveller Series Mark Bass 1x12s and 2x10s? I picked one up once, and it truly was completely lightweight. They seem to sell quite well on here too. I don’t want to go for something like this if they aren’t considered good cabs…I’ve heard some reports that their cabs are not as good as their amps. As much as Schroeder has had problems recently, the 1212BMF and the 15+ L are VERY small and modular. Also, Barefaced Midgets and Double midgets are a possibility. If they can do what Schroeder does, and push a lot of power in a light package, with 2x12s, but take away the worry that Schroeder brings with it, then I might go for one. I’m also tempted by Epifani…despite me originally being put off them.[/quote] You should also look at the Tech Soundsystems / Tecamp cabs.

Noooooo! Where am I gonna buy all my quality gear from now. Au revoir mate, you will be sorely missed... Oh I forgot I'm seeing you tomorrow!

I can't say how chuffed I am that you've clicked the bass AND got your refund but I have to say from my extensive experience with eBay and PayPal I'd be quite frankly stunned if you have scored in this way whilst the guy gets to keep his money! I would seriously have thought that PayPal/eBay would have taken the funds back from the seller but if it has worked out the way you say then that does mean a massive shift in PayPal/eBay policy. Right... off to sell some tat on eBay!

[quote name='TheRev' post='556864' date='Jul 31 2009, 10:07 AM']I remember these when they first came out and I'm sure they're a 34".[/quote] I agree. I liked the look of these when they came out and had one appeared locally I would have been interested... which makes me certain it is 34" as I'd have dismissed it had it been short scale (no offence to shorties ).

I'd like to talk about the proposed PA system Alex, 1 sub and a pair of mid/tops. How far are you off having a finished product and what is the price? We (the band) are in the process of looking at a new system and will likely as not be reaching some form of decision on passive v active in the near future. Cheers.

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='555840' date='Jul 30 2009, 08:13 AM']Okay, what's a TV Logo guys?[/quote] I see WoT viewing this thread as I go to reply, so I fear you will have a double posting! The logo was changed on the Fender basses to make them more visible and easily seen on the ever popular, new fangled invention 'TV'

[quote name='thumbo' post='553642' date='Jul 28 2009, 10:24 AM']They have updated the jack plugs now - they no longer have that spring system on them because they were ripping the innards out of very expensive Taylor acoustic guitars. I'm guessing that it was the spring that was causing the issue for you, right? Also, I noticed a couple of people mentioned they didn't have their receipts for their cables. You'll probably find that if you contact the UK distributor they will replace the cable for you even without a receipt. There is only one UK distributor for Planet Waves, they're called Summerfield MI.[/quote] Twas indeed the springs causing an issue! May well check out the new version then.

Yeh Warwick have done some stuff for him; stryker/buzzard type thing and a Streamer among others. They got all excited about it over on the Warwick forum and there are various youtube clips and pics up.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='554688' date='Jul 29 2009, 06:25 AM']Thanks for all the comments! They're really helpful [u]oh and Warwickhunt my RS4 ways just under 9lbs[/u] [/quote] Well best you catch me with dosh in my pocket (just sold my Line 6 bass... ) and organise a price!

I've shipped a few basses abroad, almost all thru-necks ( ) and I've no issues other than to say I would NOT do so if someone was paying by PayPal (don't want a 'claim back' made through no fault of mine). I have always ensured that 'where possible' the buyer has arranged and paid for the shipping and it has been insured for the full value. That way if anything happens in transit then the buyer has the onus placed upon them to make any claim for reimbursement. A couple of times I have had to do the courier organisation BUT I have made it a caveat that the buyer sends me an email stating that any claim that needs to be made will be to the best of my ability but I am not liable... that communicates to them you are not about to get stiffed by a spurious claim. On the positive side! Visit your local friendly cycle shop (or local halfords etc) and ask if they have any empty boxes. The boxes that cycles are delivered in are just the right size to contain a bass case (cut down to correct width very easily) and the shop should be glad to get rid as they have to pay someone to take the cardboard!
