Hi, wonder if someone can help? My Yamaha Attitude II needs a re-wire as the previous owner re-configured the set up and did'nt do a particularly good job!! Can anyone recommend a qualified repairer in the Salisbury (Wiltshire) area that could carry this job out for me? Any thoughts would be welcome - Rich

Can I also add my thanks and admiration to John (Oldslapper) for organising this event - top bloke as were all the other bass players (& Dom) there! Thanks to all of those who were kind enough to let me have a look/go on their gear…… As with all things that are enjoyable, the afternoon was over far too quickly, enjoyed every minute! Martin’s rig of Doom / Capt Rumble’s combination with my bass was awesome – I can feel GAS coming on again!!!! Having watched Ian's performance, I'd better get practising big time! Rich

Sounds interesting!! - I'll add the date to my diary

Hi Joe, good to see you on here. I am based just outside Salisbury so we might have to swap local gigging stories! Regards - Rich

Just a brief note to say that Eddy is a great bloke to deal with....I purchased an Ampeg pre-amp from him. It was vey well packaged and arrived in very quick time. The comms were also excellent. I would have no hesitation buying from Eddy again! Rich

Just an update on the Southern Compact journey......I handed over the cab to Stingrayfan this lunchtime. Thanks again Alex for the opportunity to try out the cab - top bloke!

Just played the cab at a gig last night so thought that I'd add my impressions: Firstly, I've got to say how light this cab is - unbelieveable! unfortunately, I had to gloat a number of times with the other members of the band by inviting them to pick it up after seeing them struggle with their gear. It looks the part too. My only observations / recommendations for modification (allbeit very picky!) would be : the corner protectors could be a bit more beefy and the addition of a second carry strap, maybe on top. Now to the important bit, the sound - the response is very smooth, neutral and low, although you do hear the highs quite well. Like many people on here, I use a Markbass LII and using this, the cab had no problem dealing with everything that I could throw at it. I'm more use to the colouration of "other cabs" (Trace / Ashdown) as I like more of an edgy sound and I'm not sure whether the Compact quite gave me what I was looking for, but that's probably more to do with the fact that I did'nt have a lot of time to dial in my sound (which I'm sure that I could achieve with the Compact given a bit more time). In summary, a great sounding / looking cab at a great price! Score 9/10 Oh, and one other very important point to make - a big thank you to Alex for making this trial possible, not aware of many manufacturers who would support this kind of thing. I know that Alex is obviously keen to promote his product but this cab represents a significant portion of his budget, so all credit to him to making this happen - thanks again! I'll now make arrangements to pass this cab on to Stingray fan - hopefully later this week. Rich

[quote name='stingrayfan' post='636799' date='Oct 26 2009, 11:41 AM']Happy to take this after PhilTheBassist. Not gigging till December, so that might work?[/quote] I've just checked with voxpop (next on the list after me) and he has asked me to remove him from the list so I guess that if no one has any major objections, I can pass it on to Stingrayfan.

Just to add my thanks to the mix.....great day, lots of lovely gear to drool over and interesting talks given by Alex and Jakesbass! Rich

Hi, maybe if Phil is away, as I'm next on the list, it might make more sense for me to take it then pass onto Phil after? but only if you can't contact Phil
