Hey folks Turns out a nice cab has become available but the seller is reluctant to package/ship! Typical! The cab is a 115 and weights 50lb ( about 22kg) and dimensiones are 27"length x 23" depth x29" height. It would be a sturdy lift. If anyone is able to help I'd naturally pay for bubble wrap and packaging materials and arrange the courier to suit your schedule and pass on a little something for the effort! Please PM if you can help out and thanks for reading!

I've had gear robbed from a car before - got distracted and forgot it was in there. You'll feel lilke a tit if you can arrange a lift to the jam or just hump it out - if its omly two speakres and two amp along with guitar/bass its not that big a job and you'll have a three hour rest before you load it in again Oh and get some Snickers to keep your energy up!

fanned fret bass or guitar from IBZ?

In the past I've just used a basic pedal to get the signal in there and then used GB for any other tone stuff. If its just a basic signal intp the mac that will do it. I now run a preamp into the mac and that gives me all the signal boost i need etc.

Some fine suggestions there and as a Lakland player already I am drawn to them. I'll see what pops up over the coming months and see if I can give the Squiers a go too. I'd really prefer to try before I buy for this purchase as the 35" scale does appeal to me more - pickups etc can always be changed down the line. Cheers

OK so I'm thinking of moving to a 5er! I've played a Fender P 5 (2012) for a little bit when I decided to make the move a few yrs ago but got cold feet and was switching between 4 and 5 and feel I should have just played the 5 exclusively. Anyways I've been kindly loaned a 5 in the past and got to grips with incorporating the B string into my playing style, reworked my bands current tunes playing the root notes off the B and not just focusing on the lowest notes and I really do like the added depth of using the B string plus its good to have a to rethink what I'm playing. It also feels like I have a better range/command of the fret board if that makes any sense to you 5 players out there. Anyhow I'm looking at some 2nd hand 5er's, including the Lakland 55-01 and an Ibanez 1205 which are available locally. I've played them both and like what they have to offer. To my ears the 35" lakland carried a bit more weight to the notes, even the open E sounded 'deeper' which I attribute to either the scale length or my own madness. The Ibanez was light and comfortable and I enjoyed the N'strand pick ups. What do ppl reccommed I check out in around the £500-£700 price range? Any bargains I should be aware of? I whole heartedly welocme PM's if you have somehting for sale but I'll probably try and trade an amp for your bass in the first instance until one of my amps gets sold *The writer reserves the right to go out and buy another 4 string at any time as gas can be a fickle old thing*

Seen a rocktron comp locally which allows for individual compression over a range of band widths but not a modeller in any sense!
