[quote name='Musicman20' post='639465' date='Oct 28 2009, 09:16 PM']To be honest, if I didn’t already have a lot of cabs, one of those 6x10s would have been amazing. But, overkill for me. If I was looking for a 6x10/8x10 I would grab one NOW![/quote] i know, i keep going back to the site because i simply cannot believe that you can buy an all tube amp and 8x10 for £1200... beside the fact that it's one that should cost over FIVE THOUSAND!! I don't need it. but i feel i need to buy it! [quote]Can we keep this thread going and get some pics up when they all arrive?[/quote] i don't think this thread will be going anywhere anytime soon [quote]UPDATE - At these prices, Im tempted for a 1x12 combo...purely because its a high end 1x12 combo for £399!!!![/quote] thats exactly why i got it [quote]When is everyones gear coming?![/quote] with the strikes starting tomorrow, who knows?

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='639348' date='Oct 28 2009, 06:56 PM']I lost sleep last night considering bagging some of this gear BUT common-sense kicked in and I left alone... despite phoning GG this morning to check that the 2x12 combo was definitely sold! [/quote] i'm glad the 2x12 combo wasn't there when i saw this! though it would have been nice to see a 1x12 cab there..

just gone over to my mums house and she asked if there was anything in particular i'd like for christmas. couldn't really think of anything. then i went for a quick look on basschat and found this thread! was positively blown away by the saving on the 1x12 combo, showed my mum saying (in jest) 'this is what i want for christmas'. to which she replied 'wow, that is quite a bargain... well if it's what you want' so new combo on the way!! :wub:

i would like to see the roscoe beck and i'm sure we'd all love to drool over the anniversary ray!

was introduced to this last night. the 'nobody's laughing' lyrics get a little bit tiresome. but a fantastically natural 'odd' rhythm! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRGtY_gvvYE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRGtY_gvvYE[/url]

looks pretty much like a Phonic, which are similarly priced. my band bought one over 10 years ago. it went through hell and high water. probably fell an overall distance of a mile in it's lifetime.. finally gave up the ghost at the start of this year. but then people always say 'they don't make things like they used to', so can't really comment on this...

[quote name='mcgraham' post='623989' date='Oct 12 2009, 02:09 PM']however you have to trust your sound man[/quote] i've never trusted sound men..

this has given me an idea. bassist seem to be the most consistently reliable, able, enthusiastic and of course, talented of ALL the musicians. why bother searching for drummers that have no sense of time (clock AND rhythm), singers that can't sing yet think they're gods gift to us, and guitarists that don't understand that when a song finishes you STOP playing, and don't start again until the START. why not form a band where every instrument is played by a BASSIST. the most punctual, considerate, musically sensitive, dynamically aware band in excistence!

well i wouldn't sell your rig for it, because as soon as you did you'd have a gig with a vocal only PA.. never used in ears myself, but i think i would be paranoid not knowing how it sounded to anyone else

actually scratch that, i agree with the panama

my vote would have to be this:

yay! there's shaping up to be a real nice gear list for this bash. been very keen to try out the barefaced stuff!

asking the band members personally, and making quite a point of thanking them for being so generous with their gear is pretty important. a quick 'cheers mate' as you walk passed them should not suffice. should be common place in all aspects of life. and cymbals and snare are not usually something that is lent out with the kit

Glockenklang do flat exceedingly well

this sounds great! hope i'm not too late..

jey-zeus...

5 strings are certainly popular. but there's no way that they're even CLOSE to being the standard

Ha ha! i knew someone would have to answer each of those! ^_^ the point i was making was that a 'why bother' sorta question sorta answers itself of course a cheap bass can do the trick. i have a lovely custom shuker with fancy woods, great hardware and one-off electronics. i also have a beat up OLP that can do every job i need a bass to do and although the tone can't vary as much as the shuker due to it being passive, it actually does some sounds better, and for some styles actually PLAYS better. does this mean the shuker was a waste of money and that i was a fool to buy it? not by a long shot.. not by a very, very, very long shot.. money is just money, why NOT buy an expensive bass if you like it??

why bother? why bother getting out of bed in the morning when you can stay there? why bother driving when you can walk? why bother with a varied diet when bread and water will keep you alive? why bother spending when you can save? why bother wearing clothes when just covering your privates will do? why bother being nice when you can be mean? etc. etc. all these questions are justified, but would you bother explaining yourself if asked?
