Does anyone know if the 715 GP7 can run an exnsion cab as well as its internal speaker? http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/trace-elliot-715-150-watt-bass-combo-amp/1084774066 This is the one I'm gonna buy I think.

What I'm looking for really is ultimate bang for buck its gonna have a sansamp hitting it in the face anyway so I'm not too bothered about the best preamp in the world. I just want a good combo that I can take to gigs in small venues. Preferably that I'm not gonna be too precious of.

So I'm looking to purchase a lovely old green and black combo, preferably a 1x15 of atleast 150 watts. A few more wouldn't go amiss but tthat's probably minimum. My question is which one is the best and which if any should be avoided. I've seen a 715 SMC and a GP11 MK5 that are in my price range of around the £150 mark.

I had a black one briefly. Was a great bass apart from it had an SPB-3 in it which I couldn't get on with. Seriously big ole neck mind. Not uncomfortable but definitely one of the biggest I've come across on a 4 string

The point design ensures the use of a proper stand. But the tone! Seriously Ash, you would love it - huge, piano-like with a load of growl and sustain. I'm going to try and figure out how to make a little recording and upload it. [/quote] I don't doubt it for a second. I've always wanted a series 1. I've recently been sorting out my old Blazer. Got the truss rod unstuck and treated it to a new tone pot. It's all but retired my Bob Glaub and because its old an rough round the edges I'm less precious of it. Result!

That's some serious replication going on there. I'm just not sure about the point on the bottom of the body.

I want this!

Such a great looking bass. How are you finding the pickup?

Mighty might necks are pretty good to be fair, I have a restless one that's really really lovely.
