  1. They look much nicer than any Rays I've seen of late Where are they built?
  2. I like it, shame its not 100 per cent original, but still a lovely bass
  3. Like the look of the heritage SVT head. nice!
  4. I´m lucky I read comments before content! The second I see that name, I´m out! Close man. well played
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. [quote name='WWRRSS' post='710999' date='Jan 13 2010, 10:33 AM'][/quote] +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): [url="http://www.americanbikestore.com/images/Logo%20Epiphone%20Flamekat.jpg"]http://www.americanbikestore.com/images/Lo...%20Flamekat.jpg[/url] Coolest guitar I´ve ever owned or played!
  9. No way! not in a million years!
  10. [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!
  11. 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

  15. [quote name='grimbeaver' post='710559' date='Jan 12 2010, 08:50 PM']brilliant, dont know what to say really other than brilliant[/quote] +1 simples!
  16. [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
  17. That looks great! how would it fare ina full band (rock) situation?. I´ve heard those cabs pack a serious wallop
  18. they look gorgeous. Bet there´s real balls to them too! Prices seem very reasonable too
  19. I like it. I´m a fan of (Sideshow Bob quote) "That retro-fifties charm"
  20. I don´t think there´s any risk of damage
  21. Yeah, he and I own them all!haha He´s big into Cort now though. Yeah Avatar are great (producer/keys player produces for us aswell) small world?not really, just a small town I will pass on my best if I see him Steve, Good luck with the hunt and I´ll keep my eyes peeled for that Warwick for you mate Cheers Colin
  22. Would love a set. are they expensive?
  23. [quote name='redstriper' post='710280' date='Jan 12 2010, 05:14 PM']Thanks basshead, I haven't tried a streamer but the corvette suited me. There is a used rockbass corvette available not too far from me that I might go and try. BTW - I see you're in Kerry, do you know James Kennedy from Tralee ?[/quote] Yeah, I´m in Tralee aswell. I know James pretty well. Sound bloke, and a fantastic player. Do you know him then?
  24. nevermind, just noticed its been sold. keep looking though, they do pop up from time to time
  25. [quote name='redstriper' post='710016' date='Jan 12 2010, 02:14 PM']How does the rockbass corvette compare to the warwick standard model ? I need a light weight dub bass with a smooth feel and deep sound. I like the w. corvette std, but it's more than I want to pay.[/quote] there´s one for sale on here somewhere for less than the price of a new Rockbass vette [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72157&hl=warwick"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=warwick[/url]
