I've been using two 12" cabs with a LMK2 head for over a year now, have thoroughly enjoyed them, and plan to hold onto them indefinately. For me they have a clear voice that have articulated every note I've attempted to good effect. Cabs are like strings, there's no best or worst, just the ones you like the sound of. Their lack of weight has become the norm rather than the exception for me, I could never go back to struggling with a heavy cab now. Aesthetically I think they look quite tidy, but looks aren't a dealbreaker to me, and I'm sure they wouldn't be to everybodys taste. I wouldn't describe them as lacking in volume by any stretch of the imagination, I'm sure there must be louder cabs out there, but then I'm not interested in chasing that particular sonic prize. There's only one way to find out if they're the right cabs for you, and that's to try them.

Welcome fellow Wallaseyan

Here's a nice mustang that really caught my eye. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127324&hl=mustang"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=mustang[/url]

My vote would be NEXO as well. PS15's are the bees knees.

... and here we go again.

Hopefully it was bought by the person who said it was an original bass. Ignorance is bliss.

Just a quick update on this one. The buyer left negative feedback stating, "the bass was a fake and the seller was unreasonable, but paypal helped me", to which the seller replied, "cash converters were happy to buy this original 1978 bass, this buyer was wrong". So look out for a shonky P-bass, coming soon to a cash converters near you...

I noticed in the photo's your singer is wearing a Scorpio Rising t-shirt. I remember them, was that your old band then?

Nice. Didn't BC and Birkenhead's own Steve-Soar once say he was the proud owner of a KGB bass? I've been very happy with their setup work for me.

I reckon you might have had a lucky escape first time around. They messed you about and I think it'll happen again... casually. They've gone on to have problems with the other person they offered the position, which suggests either social inadequacy or a disregard for bass players in general. I would politely decline their generous offer but then I'm not you, and gigging for the sake of it isn't the be all and end all in my book.

IIRC 'Forest Fire' by the Dead Kennedys.

Series switch?

Hello from another local.

Two lightweight Purple Chili 12" cabs. Snuck in before the rising neo prices that seem to have halted production... and my back thanks me for it. Watching me inch a 410 Ashdown combo up and down the metal staircase to my flat, in the dark, in the rain, you could say they have saved me from inevitable serious injury.

I'd happily play for Justin Beiber, but I wouldn't play Justin Bieber in the Dog & Duck on a saturday night. Actually, I take that last bit back. I probably would.

Nice1. Exciting times for you playing with all your new toys. I shall be in touch shortly about popping over to record another magnum opus I knocked together last Tuesday.

I've got Jamerson flats on my stock 2007 Jazz. The intonation on the E is fine but the saddle is back as far as it goes and just the slightest of movement on the tuning peg, even a stern look, and it goes sharp/flat. It's not much of a problem for me but knowing this earlier I would have opted for the normal gauge Labella's.

Hello Dave. Welcome aboard.

It's collection only and I'm too far away so maybe some else would like to snap this up?

I've got terrible Stingray 5 gas ATM. It's not going away and will have to be assuaged soon.
