[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1380645347' post='2228396'] I dare you to get a trailer made for that Porsche. Or a roof rack. [/quote] What Porsche? I am actually getting a GT86, not a Porsche

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1380623768' post='2227897'] You're not buying the car to fit the cab? [/quote] I already have a car that fits the cab (Mazda6 estate) - but it bores me to tears - I like driving - I drive more than I play bass..... Was going to get a Porsche but there would've been NO WAY I could carry ANY cab in one of them....compromised with the GT86....a BB2 or SuperMidget or Super Compact will definitely fit....S12T I'm not so sure.

I have an HA3500 in a wooden box. While being a great amp I found the fan very noisy and have changed it for a quieter fan. I also find that I have had to change the tube quite often as I find it gets noisy unless it is running s reasonably fresh tube. i was driving a BF S12T and the Master was up at 2 o'clock so could have been driving the amp quite hard. I have now got myself a GenzBenz Shuttle 9.2 and the HA3500 has been demoted to the subs bench.

i think it will very much depend on how good the G3 cabs are. Using new bespoke drivers, there will obviously be differences. Are these drivers as reliable as the Emminence drivers from the G2? Time will tell. For now I am happy with my Super12T. That said I am still unsure as to whether I will be able to get it in the boot of my next car (Toyota GT86) which will probably come in November. At that time I might be looking at a BB2 or a Super Midget just so i can use my cab at rehearsals......but I hope I can continue to use my Super12T

Sanctuary studios watford

never needed to 'save' for a bass - always had the cash sitting doing nothing. Basses are not a save up for kind of thing. Ferraris are a save up for kind of thing. Swimming pools are a save up for kind of thing. Pitts specials are a save up for kind of thing. Basses? Nahhh

got any spare change?

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1377898989' post='2193518'] if you're not buying a Roscoe bass and bergantino rig to play it through then you're wasting his time. [/quote] Totally different from the experiences I have had. I have been there twice. Neither time did I make an appointment. The first visit I bought a hipshot 3 string retainer. - probably one of the cheapest items in the shop. The second I bought a Mono gig bag. Both times Mark has had time for me. We chatted about lots of things music. He actually remembered me the second time from my first visit! He allowed me, without appointment, to try some amps and heads with my own bass. ...and didn't get upset when i didn't buy.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376766293' post='2178935'] Is final payment over a month in advance acceptable in any transaction? [/quote] I paid for my Marshall fridge in full then waited 9 (yes NINE) months and 4 days for delivery....the supplier was constantly telling me it wou;d be delivered 'next month'... Never again

I wanted one so built a Warmoth P bass body J bass neck with Warmoth's slim taper profile. Would not swap it for owt.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1376093596' post='2169786'] the query re venues, many have a house amp, and it`s usually a 100 watt combo of some sort. [/quote] Really? I have NEVER played a venue with house backline. A FOH PA yes nut never backline.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvMrBYlwHqU[/media] Weird tapping technique jazz fella..... Check out the nut on his guitar. Has Mark D Phillips had his hands on it? Can someone explain why the nut on this guitar looks like it is cut so deep, why it stands so proud between the strings and what is it made of? it looks metallic to me.

Lend it to a timelord who will take it back in time and have it gigged for 40 years and then have it left in a pre-arranged place for you to pick it up - an uncle's loft is a good choice.

My, you are the name dropper aren't you? Who?

[quote name='aldude' timestamp='1375455423' post='2161686'] Beware! What you'll need is a head that goes below 4 ohm, as the S12T is a 4 ohm cab, so adding a Midget will lower the total impedance to 2.66 ohms - [/quote] I will not be using them at the same time...the MidgetT would be for rehearsals in the car....the S12T would be for gigs in the van Edit: unless I find a way to get an S12T in a GT86 (plus at least one bass, a head, a pedal board and all the other gubbins required)....in which case I will not need a MidgetT Found this pic of a Marshall 2x12 in the boot of a GT86...hmmm i wonder if a S12T is any bigger?

I think i'll just add to this thread now that I have had my S12T for a few weeks. I have rehearsed 4hour sessions weekly with my band with my S12T on an Auralex gramma pad and it just keeps getting better and better. The dispersion is amazing - it does not matter where in the rehearsal space I am the tone of my bass is now fully audible to all - it seems to fill the room - i have never experienced anything quite like it! I am driving it with a 'mere' Hartke HA3500 which is more than ample to get some serious volume and after a few Eq tweaks and balancing the tube and SS pre inputs I am close to my perfect tone now.... I find it light and easily manageable - it fits lengthways in the boot of my Mazda6 under the cover without folding the seats , leaving half the boot free for other stuff.....although whether it will fit in aToyota GT86 (getting one soon) is another story - i might be buying a MidgetT at that point (but would probably need a more poweful head to drive it) but not as a replacement .The S12T will never be replaced.... Loving it.
