    Any idea what a Sub silo 3 is? Cos they have appeared on Anderton's as well, no idea what it is though...

    I believe they are the six string versions (guitar, not bass).

    GK MB200 question

    The line out is to connect to a line level input on another amp or mixer. Say a power amp or an active cab. Its not to connect to the instrument level input on another amp.

    Line level and instrument/mic level are different voltage. Line level is what you get out of an amp after the signal has been amplified by the pre-amp.

    This was what i was after. It has all become clear.

    I think you're getting your terminology confused.

    A combo is an amp and speaker combined - you 'could' connect that to a line out socket and it'd work.
    You were talking about adding another speaker, a speaker is just a speaker and that won't work if you connect it to a line out socket.

    No, I understand all that, i was just confused by post #3.

    I've been looking at getting one of these, looks perfect for what I want. If in the future i wanted to a more, could i get a second one and go from the line out of the first one to the regular input of the second one to run a second cab. Sorry if it's a bit of a numpty question, but i'm a bit clueless when it comes to amps.

    If it helps, I have a pair of the Limited Edition natural bodied ones from the early/mid ninties and they are solid bodies, made from medium weight Indian ash. Theres a copy of the review in this thread.

    Local luther to me charges £54 for a full set up that includes alot more than this guy offers. No ebay fees and no PP. Ive never used him. Just an instant example.

    Just as well you've never used Kim Webber, if I were you i'd avoid at all costs. A couple of years ago I needed a new nut on one of my basses, so gave Mr Webber a call. Seemed like a nice enough bloke on the phone, quoted me £20 and told me i could drop the bass off that afternoon. When I got to his place (about an eight mile drive) Mr Webber told me he'd made a mistake on the phone, and that the cost would actually be £30. He then proceeded to tell me that he would also have to give the bass a set up (not optional) at an additional cost of £60. I decided at this point that i'd heard enough and tried to make my excuses and leave, but Mr Webber pushed on, saying that I obviously couldn't afford his services but was too embarrassed to say so. I was now heading for the door, but even then he kept on at me, saying he would knock £10 off of the set up price if I took some music lessons from his son. In the end I just said I'd think about it and get back to him and did a runner. Luckily i've since managed to find an excellent chap just one street over from Mr Webber who does fantastic work at a very reasonable price (it's the guy that Jaywalk Guitars in Street use), but i still wonder from time to time if Mr Webber treats all his customers like he treated me, because if he does, i'm amazed he's still in business.

    clear lacquer

    Sorry to hijack, but while we're on the subject of lacquers, I'm looking to paint my bass in a satin black finish, what type of lacquer if any should i use on this (are there matt lacquers available)?

    Fender Books

    in General Discussion

    Last year i was given the Haynes Fender Bass book, which i have thouroughly enjoyed and have delved into time and time again. What I'd really like to get my hands on, if it exists, is a referance book that covers all of the different models, eg, aerodyne, jazz specials, ect, and details all the differences between the basses. Anybody know if a book like this exists?
