[quote name='stevie' timestamp='1461743038' post='3037203'] It's interesting how this term gets used in a passive/aggressive way on every BF thread. It doesn't get used anywhere else on Basschat as far as I can tell. So you can draw your own conclusions on that. You'll find it on page one of this thread, in post 13. It seems to be a way of stopping any balanced discussion before it can even start. The following answers warwickhunt's question quite nicely ([url="http://www.theporchvaldosta.com/blog/5-reasons-that-people-who-call-others-haters-are-the-real-haters-and-why-social-media-shaming-is-of-the-devil"]http://www.theporchv...is-of-the-devil[/url]). [b]So here are 5 Reasons that people who call others ‘haters’ are also doing the hating.[/b][list] [*]When a Passive-Aggressive Hater calls another a ‘hater’ they are implying that the ‘hater’ is narrow-minded, inflexible, ignorant, uninformed, and well, a ‘hater’! This is nothing short of immature name-calling. What is the hoped for outcome in making such declarations? Most likely to discredit or shame the other person so that the PAH will feel as if they have ‘won’ an argument that the other person wasn’t even aware was taking place. [*]When a Passive-Aggressive Hater calls another a ‘hater’ they are saying that the ‘hater’ is unable to have an opinion that varies from their (perceived) more superior opinion. This is the epitome of self-righteousness. [i]How dare someone else think differently than me? I'm practically an expert on this topic. Don’t they know how many blogs and articles I have 'liked' and shared?[/i] [*]When a PAH calls another a ‘hater’ they are unapologetically declaring that the ‘hater’ would change their tune if they were only as enlightened as the PAH, or as privileged, or as experienced, or as motivated, or if they possessed the God-like qualities that the PAH does. This goes hand-in-hand with self-righteousness. But there is more to this… (Read with the best hoity-toity voice you can muster) [i]Oh, if only those ‘haters’ would have read the book I have read, or the online posts…tsk…tsk…they would understand. Poor creatures. I will help by posting pictures and passive-aggressive hashtags. Then they will all see the error of their way, declare my opinion to be superior, and join me on my quest for perfection.[/i] [*]PAH’s that call others ‘haters’ are revealing a huge insecurity in their life and in the decisions that they make. This is little more than projecting a self-hate. Why else would someone want to publicly declare someone a ‘hater’ just because they don’t agree with, support, or ride the same band-wagon that the PAH does? This public shaming that the PAH is trying to accomplish is only shining a big ugly spotlight on their deep-seated insecurities and buried-deep-down questioning of their latest decision (fad or otherwise). [*]PAH’s use social media to say like a kid on the playground with a giant ice cream cone, “nanny-nanny-boo-boo” to anyone they have declared to be a ‘hater’ by posting [i]unsolicited[/i] [i]progress[/i] reports of how [i]awesome and popular[/i] their life/opinion is. [i]I’ll show them! Those ‘haters’ will regret ever questioning my choices, motives, and decisions. I will post every aspect of my mundane life and others will be so jealous![/i] [/list] [/quote] In your opinion

Lakland Skylines were once flavour of the month, not so much now. Good quality basses, the Bob Glaub based on his 64 with wide nut, but relatively shallow front to back. Called something like the 44-64 or something these days [url="http://s1354.photobucket.com/user/Karl_Altdorfer/media/001_zpsscvw0rva.jpg.html"][/url]

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1461309802' post='3033459'] I have a GK MB500 Fusion and a Tecamp Black Jag 500. I presume that the Black Jag is basically a Puma with some whistles and bells added. I don't really use any of the whistles and bells (like bass or treble boost or compression) and have the eq pretty much flat all the time. The Tecamp is my 'go to' amp for gigging and to my mind it always delivers. I like straightforward punchy and clear sound with anything extra coming from pedals. The one thing the Fusion has is 2 switchable channels with their own gain which I like. It's a good sounding amp but I find the Tecamp more balanced and it seems to sit better in the mix somehow. [/quote] Pwhoarrrr Black Jag

I've not looked, but I think it will probably be no4, which is on Facebook at something daft like £1900. Quite a few internet comments around that there were quality issues with these basses. Last one I saw actually sell went for £900 couple of years back. Look great, but potential buyers really need to do their research on this one. EDIT, I've just looked, it was the same one and he's bloody sold it Good luck to the buyer if he doesn't get on with it

Have a look in the sub forum entitled double bass and EUB. Do a search there. Quite a few topics on what you are looking for. You don't say where you are from, but it looks like new TecAmp ar only available from the US now, which is going to make them pricey for Europe. Thomas Eich, who was TecAmp, has set a new business up called EICH Amplification. The new EICH'S look very similar in features to PUMA, just a new fascia. And a little more expensive. Good luck.
