Seriously though, I usually walk if it's in town or borrow my dad's red citroen berlingo if i need to shift a lot of stuff (another postman pat lookalike).

I'll think i'll use this thread as a resource when i build one.....you obviously watched alot of Blue Peter as a kid!

I used this as a resource too and am now the proud owner of a similar board. Mine has extra supports, a recessed bit for my power supply, and no carpet but otherwise pretty similar. I made it to fit in a messenger bag I had lying around. "Borrowed" wood, screws, glue etc from dad's garage, total cost = 4 quid for velcro tape. Will post pics when I stop being lazy. Cheers for the inspiration ben!

Anyone else note the spelling mistake in the title of this thread.... just putting it out there.....

Edit- it's changed now in case anyone thinks I'm an idiot.

Yeah, well we certainly aren't as good at complaining, making sweeping generalisations or ridiculously rose-tinted nostalgia as you guys are....... like.

My goodness am I tempted. Saving for amp first sadly. Can't believe nobody's gone for this!!

[quote name='The Funk' post='445025' date='Mar 25 2009, 02:53 PM']I like all the ideas. You guys probably need to be just a little bit tighter though for the full effect to come across. Either your drummer or your guitarist or both are rushing a bit.

Wicked riffs and grooves though.[/quote]
It's the recording, was done stupidly quickly. I assure you we're tighter than that normally.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='444497' date='Mar 24 2009, 11:18 PM']Only good if you don't want to add any cabs...[/quote]

Fair point. Still a good deal though, it's like getting a decent 4ohm cab for very cheap.

Just wondering if anyone else has a vx3500 combo (I do). I've noticed a few folk with the 3500 head and a vx 4x10 cab, but not many with the combo, which is funny because it literally is just that head and that cab put together. You can take the head out in 2 minutes just by unscrewing it. And it's significantly cheaper than the head + cab would be. Just thought I'd put it out there.

Edit- there is a slight difference in that the cab in the combo is 4 ohm as opposed to the normal 8 ohm vx cabs. But that's a good thing, right?

My band's just recorded a couple of songs. Have a little listen if you like. [url="http://www.myspace.com/mrdirtyband"]www.myspace.com/mrdirtyband[/url]

I ken but I have literally no money at the minute. Considering credit card/bigger overdraft/begging tho.

[quote name='Tusknia' post='441842' date='Mar 22 2009, 04:54 PM']Been seeing alot more LMII's on Basschat and Talkbass classifieds since the news broke.[/quote]

Let's hope that keeps up for a few more months until I have enough money to bag me one!

Sooooo, with the little mark 3 coming out, should I be expecting to see plenty of LM2's being sold off at bargain prices? Good Lord I hope so.

I got a couple of tw's at a bargain price and I'm putting them in my schecter elite 4 right now... needed to brag to somebody and here seemed like the best place! Anyone else own/use these delightful pups?

Schecter elite 4.

Hi everyone, I'm Robbie. I'm in a band called Mr Dirty (www.myspace.com/mrdirtyband). Been playing bass for about 6 years. Having often browsed your fine forum for info, points of view and good old gear porn, I thought I should actually become a member, especially as I'm about to embark on some improvements to my bass (a schecter elite 4).

Oh, and I use a Hartke 3500 4x10 combo (often take the head out and use it with whatever cab's going at gigs), an EHX bass big muff, an old boss mini-rack comp/limiter/gate and an MXR M-80 DI/Distortion. Also occasionally use an ART tube MP preamp for recording.

Nice to meet you!
