I'm the same as Gary, even though my 2 Markbass 210p Travelers are up for sale. The only reason for that is eyeball lust for Dusty's Purple Chili rig. The vertical 2 x 210's really does work great with a tiny stage footprint to boot. Sadly more room for gaytartists

Thought most of these were P/J s ?

Don't worry about perfect fit, get a padded laptop bag, with front pocket (for cables) from Tesco for £15. Worked for me for the last three years. Good luck, Karl.

I got two Roqsolid's made for my two Traveller 210P's. Cost slightly less than this one, for the pair, delivered. Mind MB are not the only ones to charge daft for the pretty advertising on own label covers.

No surprise really Mark. There are stories of good bad and indifferent of all Fender manufacturing plants. I gigged this for last night's 2.5 hour shenanigans and thoroughly enjoyed using it. Light, great sounding pup and just so playable. I STILL kept looking forlornly at the Road Worn jazz sat on it's stand, but that's the price to pay when you have 3 wonderful playable basses

It's all a bit as discreet says really. I got to the stage where I only wanted to gig my FSR. One gig, a punter came up and said that bass was like an extension of my arm. I chose not to take that as I was a knuckle scraper! Then along came the Road Worn. I'd had an itch to try one EVEN though they are the hated rosewood. Ya know what??? I get upset putting it down . To a great extent, all the others are just to fill the rack in my back room now (cue discreet smut)

Many thanks chaps. I've hit the daft problem that I now have three fabulous basses to gig. I've done the Alembic, Rick, Custom Shop, SEI and others, yet these three fabulous, playable, giggable basses are all Mexican Fenders. My Cabronita will also become the same when the new jazz dimension neck arrives from Warmoth (eventually). So, guess I will just have to rotate gigs with them, but tbh, I would happily just use the Road Worn every gig. Yet I do't get on with Rosewood boards

Forgot to update this. Gigged it last weekend. Will do so again this weekend. Good bits. Very light! Lovely 41.6mm nut width, quite shallow neck, very comfortable and satiny feel. Pick up has all the tonal variation you would expect from a P. Does the 'Arry bit particularly well. Very well finished, well set up out of the box, although I've inevitably tweaked it a little. A great looking P, imo. Bad bits. Pick up has good tonal flexibilities, but not as powerful as I would have hoped. Had to crank the amp a touch more than normal. Not that that was a problem. Overall, my humble opinion, a good P bass with that 70's look about it, at a decent price. Eminently giggable anywhere

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1429046473' post='2747441'] the amp and cabs will try to produce frequencies even lower than 30hz that you'll never actually hear too, which wastes a lot of power and gets the speakers moving more than they really need to which might be contributing to the farting out... The SFX Thumpinator is supposed to help with this. I've not got mine yet so I can't comment from experience, but it might be worth trying one! [/quote] Look forward to comments on the [s]wife[/s] Thumpinator To be honest, the farting out is very rare, just an occasional room, and it's very quickly eq'd out.

You are about 40 miles from me in Wigan. If you want to try out a PUMA, (only a 500, but there's only 3Db between them), put your cabs in the car and I'll get the kettle on!

Thanks guys. My Puma 500 goes through 2 x 8ohm Markbass 210 Travelers. Generally I actually need to cut the bass rotary back to about 11 o'clock the speakers tend to get a little close to farting out. Sometimes I have to cut the lo mids fractionally as well. I use a GRAMMA pad, only use passive basses, finger style, but I can get a little heavy handed. I just got to thinking, the amp's bass rotary is set to 30hz, but the cabs are 40 hz and I didn't know how that would work. Thanks for all the input guys, appreciated. Cheers, Karl.

Brilliant dincz, thanks very much for that . Great explanation for a dummy like me. Cheers dude

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1429000031' post='2746763'] Yeah we've been working with the member to try and help resolve the issue. Investigations and police intervention is ongoing. Worth reiterating again the FAQ when buying and selling. Not always possible, but worth bearing these in mind when carrying out a deal. Thankfully instances of this type are very unusual but we do get involved and help as much as we can. Cheers ped ---- [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3][u][b]Guidelines for BUYERS[/b][/u][/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3]1. Make sure you exchange contact details with the seller. Get as much as you can – phone number, address, email and full name are essential. Be vigilant of members not offering any details other than their username.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3]2. If in doubt about a seller's credibility, search the 'feedback forum' to see if they have sold before. Do not accept evidence of eBay feedback as there is no way of proving this is the same person.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3]3. Have a good look at the member who you are buying from. View their 'profile' to find out how often they are on the forum, how many posts they have made and how long they have been a member. Be extra careful of brand new members with few posts.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3]4. If you have a concern with the authenticity/originality/provenance/description etc of an item for sale, do not comment on the seller's thread as these comments will be removed by a moderator. If you believe an item to be fraudulent then please PM a moderator and we will do our best to arbitrate - otherwise simply move along.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3]5. If you believe the price of the item is too cheap/expensive, then please PM the seller as to why. Do not ridicule or undermine the seller by posting how much you think it's worth or how much it can be gotten for elsewhere, the laws of supply and demand will determine if the item sells at that price.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#5A5A5A][font=Arial][size=3]6. Always view the item if possible. At the very least request decent photographs.[/size][/font][/color] [/quote] PED, I only live 6 or 7 miles from the business address.
