    ...Looks like im the 41st person to think your selling one then!...DOH! :lol:[/quote]

    :lol: Yeah, Again the dangers of quality original programming and late night posting while scouring the net for bass gear- well documented! :lol:


    [quote name='0175westwood29' post='711901' date='Jan 13 2010, 08:51 PM']its a mistake i'd say as the pics are the same head, and there is only one version.

    the heads are 200w at 4 ohms, yeh it powers to of the matching cabs just fine, only really loud enough for small gigs tho. but would be wicked for studio stuff!

    Yeah that´s what I thought. I had only ever heard of the 200watt Micro.
    Cheers guys :)

    Ampeg announce a few 'new' lines

    in Amps and Cabs

    Oh, I agree! was just saying they look cool. :rolleyes:
    I am not a fan of Ampeg's business strategy of late.
    They have really screwed up a fantastic brand (the quality of the product is debatable) with a great reputation.
    As much as I love Ampeg, the fact that they are cheaper and more accessable these days does not make them any better.
    And now, trying to develop links with the US nostalgia market -not a great move.
    Why wasn't there an MBO at the last minute?! :)

    Good Buy?!

    Can't go wrong at that price really.
    My first bass from around 10 years ago was a Yamaha RBX170 that I destroyed with Screeching Weasel, Descendents, Blink and Ramones decals.
    Still have it (never even changed the strings!)
    And it still sounds amazing!
    Just wish i could take it to gigs these days! :)

    Stupidly Easy Tunes Which Are An Absolute Pleasure To Play

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by basshead56

    Every single Misfits song! :)
    Still love playing them all though

    Also ´Liver´ by The Hitchers
    and ´Where´s Me Jumper´ By the sultans of Ping FC (as they used to be known)
    Great fun to play and always get the crowd going
    ´Good Times´ by Chic
    ´Thats Entertainment´ by the Jam
    Gotta love ´Green Door´ (Shakey´s version) and ´Come on Everybody/Summertime Blues´ by the real king, Eddie Cochran!
    ´Beast with 5 Hands´ by the Groovie Ghoulies-best punk blues ever!
    ´Mother´ by Danzig-you could play it asleep!

    Do Cabs With Castors Break or Fail More Than Cabs Without?

    in Amps and Cabs

    Posted

    I had castors that came on an Ampeg cab.
    I was told to take them off as bass cabs sound and feel better if they are in direct contact with the floor.
    don´t know if i believed it or not, but I took them off anyways when I got a case for the cab which was lift off, so there were wheels on the bottom anyway.
    I have seen SVT head flight cases with castors but no way in hell would I wheel an amp (valve or not) around. Too many delicate parts.
    Cabs are ok, proper ones-Trace Elliot, Ampeg, Marshall were made to be chucked about stages and thrown into vans.
    Just wouldn´t do the same with amps or combos. :)

    Saw that blue one this morning. Looks lovely though I reckon that Fernandes/burny last week was better value considering the prices.
    There´s also a nice Aria Pro II faker on there too

    If money were no object, what bass would you have?

    +1
    I´ll take one of those too.
    Failing that, seeing as I´d have all that money, I´d get Epiphone to build me a 4 string version of my guitar at the moment (not the strat):

    MIA Fender Jazz V standard

    [quote name='Sibob' post='710721' date='Jan 12 2010, 10:45 PM']Cheers guys....I'm thinking about it lol

    Si[/quote]


    Check the ebay links- I found a really cheap MIA Jazz V

    For what its worth, the Jazz V was the first 5 string I ever tried and the only reason I didn't go with it in the end was because I was already breaking one personal rule-no more than 4 strings, so figured I'd defect to a Gibson while I was at it, very cheeky!

    Are there two versions of this-two different ratings?
    Can one of these heads power two (matching) cabs?
    Anyone got one?

    The reason I ask is...
    [url="http://www.dv247.com/search/0/0/ProductQuantity/Descending/ampeg+micro/1/"]http://www.dv247.com/search/0/0/ProductQua.../ampeg+micro/1/[/url]

    Two different descriptions and two different prices
    hmm :)


    crap, I've put this in the wrong place! Why is Spooks so bloody enthralling?
    Please move to amps and cabs discussion

    Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Bass Out Soon

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    [quote name='bubinga5' post='700974' date='Jan 4 2010, 09:07 PM']Blimey, why do they wack the price up so much? for a matching headstock!!!...

    you can get a 75 RI for £1299 and this £300 more??? ok its a 50th Anniversary..

    Fender should bring out some limited edition colors with matching headstocks, binding, string through body's, etc..

    Its not special enough for £1599.99

    Fender rely far too much on there image...

    (did i say it was lovely)[/quote]


    As much as I love Fender, +1
    definately an insane price tag for not that much bass
    But again, it is beautiful :)
