They are apparently the most popular amps ever.

If you are being offered free stuff take it.

[quote name='henry norton' post='431567' date='Mar 11 2009, 03:04 PM']Are MarkBass still independent? I don't mind paying the money if it's going straight back to the people who built it but so many now (Genz and SWR for instance), charge the same high prices for gear they have made for them using cheap labour, creaming off a bigger profit for the parent company. [/quote] They are owned by Parsek Srl - but I have no idea if that is just the copy name and Markbass is the trading name. Or a big company that owns them.

I only found him a few weeks ago, he was great, bloody copyright.

Buy Ashdown it is the only way... or worse... Behringer...

I want this bass now

[quote name='stevie' post='427957' date='Mar 7 2009, 12:30 PM']There's nothing sad about being interested in how things work and are made. Watching Coronation Street - that's sad.[/quote] That is beyond sad.

Its cheap parts to reduce the overall costs. Thats the shame.

[quote name='redstriper' post='430565' date='Mar 10 2009, 02:58 PM']Stevie is a top geezer, he has a lot of experience and knowledge which he is happy to share expecting nothing in return and he is not always trying to sell home made products, unlike some of the 'experts' on this forum. He has helped me a lot with technical problems, sending photos and detailed explanations and he even sent me a couple of speakon connectors free of charge. Thanks again Stevie - I don't forget favours and you have my respect.[/quote] I echo your sentiments.

Bought a Trace Elliot 1153 cab of stevie. Just hooked the cab upto my Ashdown head via a great OBBM cable, and it sounds immense. Great communication with this seller, very very very well packed product. Couldn't say anything much higher than I am sad you had to sell this cab. Ross (clockworkwar)

[quote name='Platypus' post='429963' date='Mar 9 2009, 11:10 PM']I bought a guitar combo for my son from ebay and went to collect it. When the father of the seller handed it to me I noticed that there was a full size pc keyboard sticking out of the open back. He had seen it, though tought it was all part of the combo! When I got home I fould a pencil in there[/quote] You are clearly winning.

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='429640' date='Mar 9 2009, 06:36 PM']Same as everywhere else, about £160.[/quote] Oh well I shall stick to ER-20's until I can afford them.

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='429627' date='Mar 9 2009, 06:27 PM']When I had a Trace Elliot 715SM combo I noticed a rattling sound when I took it to rehearsal once and found my son had hidden five or six of his hot wheels cars in it. He must have been running the track into the port and letting the cars roll in.[/quote] Beats the 5p he he.

How much are ER15 from specsavers?

[quote name='bassmansky' post='429580' date='Mar 9 2009, 05:47 PM']go for 2x4x10's and the biggest head trace do![/quote] Just tell them in traditional fashion to 'f-off'

[quote name='yorick' post='429428' date='Mar 9 2009, 02:59 PM']I bought an old HH 4x12 and found a family of mice in there, dead.......[/quote] tone mice.

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='429473' date='Mar 9 2009, 03:40 PM']That's the tone coin that you often get with TE cabs. I hope you put it back in there. S.P.[/quote] I was almost ready to believe you until the coin reads '2001' and the cab is from way before then

[quote name='Clockworkwar' post='429328' date='Mar 9 2009, 01:22 PM']That review gave me the GAS lol.[/quote] anybody bought one?

Well I just bought a nice Trace Elliot cab from Stevie, I got it out the packaging and put it on its side and heard a rattle. I immediately thought DHL had been throwing it around for sports. Until I got a small torch inside the cab and realised it was a 5p, luckily my hands are small enough to fit in the port holes and I got it out. Has anyone else has this before?

[quote name='Machines' post='429148' date='Mar 9 2009, 11:04 AM']No no - those V1004DX's are great. I reviewed one in 2007 and it was fantastic. Have a look here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9244"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9244[/url][/quote] That review gave me the GAS lol.

Well after reading the review on the forum, I have decided that I need this bass. Is it odd to have GAS for a bass that costs £250?

[quote name='bassmansky' post='428810' date='Mar 8 2009, 07:50 PM']go for the eb12-180,be better than the 5-15 imo.[/quote] Go for the electric blue they are great little combos.
