    No idea where you are based, but there are a lot of options and not just on here. Much more bang for buck buying used. For example, on the following linked page (you will have to scroll quite a long way down) https://www.facebook.com/groups/689090051102626/ a chap called Steve Musgrove has a cracking rig for sale in Northampton. Markbass F1 and 2 x Eden 112's for £425. Take your time, read as much as you can, and good luck.

    I tried one of the new (Mark 111) Mex Harris Precisions a couple of months back. The weight put me off, as did the unusually badly cut nut. 1st Mex I've ever tried with a nasty issue. The pick up was astounding! Most tonal variation I've ever heard on a passive P pup. I've tried a few

    [quote name='largo' timestamp='1462870697' post='3046367'] I have what might be deemed a stupid question .... if I'm correct the BF uniqueness comes from a cone with a high excursion, i.e. movement on the z-axis or in & out to most of us. Is it possible playing at higher volume that these cabs will move? In my mind a light box & speaker violently moving back & forwards shifting air conjures up all sorts of images of BF cabs roaming the stage like demented Daleks [/quote] Lovin' the demeted Daleks vision

    [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1462786702' post='3045590'] I used to agree. But ive found that even though i'm a "one trip" with my set up now, i still end up doing multiple trips to help everyone else. So am i really saving anything??? Nice looking rig though Discreet. Glad it's working out for you [/quote] Yeah, must admit, you're right. I help get in, set up, break down, take out our drummers massively large kit. If I didn't we wouldn't get home from gigs until Monday

    [quote name='chrisaxe' timestamp='1462774436' post='3045492'] Searched online and found it listed as 27 pounds, but I'll weigh mine and double check. [/quote] Think you might find that's the shipping weight including case, although even that sounds high. Hang it off some luggage scales, not being sexist but I'm sure a female you know will have some luggage scales. Cos they are usually more organised than us blokes GLWTS

    Not seen that model, but Fender P/J, best of both worlds for me [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/13124700_1120433004643431_456964581275824768_n_zpswmm0rhnn.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/13124700_1120433004643431_456964581275824768_n_zpswmm0rhnn.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    Recently acquired but not getting used. Recent set up/strings by Manchester Guitar Tech Steve Robinson who stated "it's a beautifully made bass". I actually believe this is from the 1995/1996 Fender Japan "The Collectables" series, but really struggling to find evidence. Plenty on the Strat, but can't find anything on this. Excellent condition for a 20 year old bass. Some little dinks here and there, but you have to look. BadAss is obviously not original. Lightweight for a Fender Japan Ash bass at 8lb 9oz. One of the pictures looks like it has writing on the back, it's a reflection of my t-shirt (Body of a God, shame it's Buddha). TRADES! I would like; Barefaced Gen 3 Super Twin in immaculate nick, cloth preferred but not vital. I would put a little money towards it, if I'm lucky enough to get an offer. Early Mex Road Worn Jazz (I've solved my rosewood board dilemma. £600 cash sale, extra £30 UK insured courier. Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Feedback below. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    The "negative implication" is there for you. It's not for me. And to re-iterate my original on topic point, neither of there Blackstar's have been the height of reliabilty.
  12. karlfer
    That's what The Shed Builder and I call them. They call us a lot worse. I hope you aren't offended.
  13. karlfer
    Hmm, both of our gaytartists have Blackstar heads and cabs. One has clapped out 4 times in 3 years, the other keeps having intermittent faults. Look good but I would be very cautious personally.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1462364403' post='3042377'] First impressions lead me to believe that [i]one [/i]of these would be the ultimate, flexible, portable cab solution, but we'll see! That's a temporary solution... I have a more permanent Velcro solution in the offing. The stand is a Stagg 14707 and can be got at a good price from Amazon: [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-14707-Foldable-Amplifier-Monitor/dp/B000YL952E"]https://www.amazon.c...r/dp/B000YL952E[/url] It's small enough for a One10 but I've also had a Fender Rumble 500 on it with no problems.

    Yup, it serpently is Dave Actually, last week we had snow, sleet, rain, thunder, lightning and frosts (as I'm sure you did!). Today it went tropical . Glad you've enjoyed that fabulous Berg. One thing's for sure, at my age, I'm not going to argue with anybody who can lift a Berg HT322 All the best Dave.

    Just completed a transaction with Matt. Yet again another wonderful example of one of the great folks on Basschat. A pleasure to deal with. Decisive, did what he said he's do, when he said he'd do it. Lovely bloke, fully recommended, deal with confidence folks. Matt, don't wind it up too much in the house, your plaster will suffer Many thanks fella.

    The following American Deluxe ran from about 1998 to 2008 I THINK (don't quote me on the dates!) http://se-server.ethz.ch/Staff/af/Fender_Deluxe_Bass_Specs.html [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/_573_zpsj0jyz3yk.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/_573_zpsj0jyz3yk.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/_57_zpspdwhvvhw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/_57_zpspdwhvvhw.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/_572_zps3mnc1uy9.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q693/Karl_Altdorfer/_572_zps3mnc1uy9.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

    See, I would never have thought to hang the GK feet over the front of the cab. Bit of a simple genius solution. Discreet, please name the cab stand you are using . Lovin' that red P.

    2008 Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub, 2008, Korean, before they switched to Indonesia. Now called 44-64 since they stopped the signature model. The more eagle eyed will note this is Peety's from a few weeks back. Since then it's had new strings, full pro set-up and now sports a large, 20mm padded gigbag. Hence I'm asking a bit more. This is the Skyline version, the US versions are way north of £2000. [url="https://www.lakland.com/44-64.htm"]https://www.lakland.com/44-64.htm[/url] This particular bass is white and weighs 9lb 2oz. It was refinished by the legendary Dave Wilson of Haltwhistle. The headstock was refinned to match. He also made the 'plate. White is not a colour option on the Skyline version. One chip below 'plate some difficult and hard to notice "certain light " scratches. Wide nut width but the neck is shallow front to back so it's a nice neck to play. Gig bag included, recent new strings and luthier service. Extra £20 UK courier. Selling as just too many basses (and yet another recent impulse buy . Feedback linked below, any trial in Wigan welcome. Thanks for looking, Karl.

    [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1461826417' post='3037869'] Do you have an opinion, Karlfer? [/quote] Sorry stevie. I do. Well. regarding your post I do (but others as well). My reading of your post was that it had a lot of assumptions about what goes on in people's mind's. Today I went to the Crematorium in Leeds to say goodbye to a friend from day 1 in primary school in Sept 63. Perhaps that was rather on my mind when I was thinking is all this really about another plywood box that makes a noise. And that isn't exclusively aimed at your post, your's just happened to be in the firing line at the time.

    Statement 1. I have a vested interest Statement 2. THAT is one Hell of a price for one of these much loved amps, especially as it comes with it's own armoured carrier
