  1. Another +1 to Garageband here. Wasnt doing anything, then I wrote a load of stuff on that, put an ad on an online local muso's forum and met up with like minded chaps for a beer, now we have a band on the go. Its taken a while, but I think having Garageband handy as alomst a "riff idead-Pad" really kept my interest in playing going.

  2. This is my exact rig, not many people have the 210c! Extremely portable (210c comes with a very handy pull-out trolley) and very very loud if you need it to be, someone will be very happy with this... Great price as the Stac alone had a list price of £999

  3. Worth mentioning there are some subtle differences between the 4001 and 4003 - the neck on my 4003 has a wider fretboard than the 4001, and the 4001 was a more pronounced volute at the end of it.

    4001/4003 either way - i hope you both get one! Ive seen a few 4001's recently go for less than a newer 4003 so shop around, try them all and then buy the one that you know is the right one. :)

  4. I can relate to this - although in a non-conclusive way i guess ;)

    I bought my USA 2009 P Std from a chain shop in my town. It was excellent - setup was fine, sound was spot on, everything I expected and wanted from a USA P at that price. I bought my Geddy from the lovely chaps at Wunjo in London and that was probably the best setup "out of the case" bass ive ever played, with the exception of my 2011 Rick (sadly now back at the factory after the paint fell off it, different story).

    On the other hand, i went to the same chain shop I bought the P from to try out some jazzes and other USA P's before I took the plunge on the Geddy - all from 2011/12 - and all of them were shocking. Badly set up, rattling in the neck - and worst of all, two of them had significant nut problems on the A string resulting in dull "clacking" string sound. Wouldnt have spent a grand on any of the four I tried! I do also twang a little bit of guitar on the side so tried a few SG's out and they were out of tune, all over the place. Whether or not that is indicative of anything I dont know.

    So I think the old adage applies - you gotta play a few before you find the right one...
