another satisfied customer. dave was very helpful with all my (stooopid) questions and insured i got exactly what i was after. the cables are all great quality and arrived just a couple days after ordering. awesome

so shockwave, now that you've had it a while whats the overall verdict? (what i'm basicaly asking here is should i stop drooling over the pictures of yours and just buy one myself?!?)

agreed i've had one for about 6 years now and its been a very solid, reliable workhorse of an amp. Pretty versatile and easy to get a lot of very usable sounds out of it... and for that kind of money it'd be rude not to buy it!

yeah yeah yeah, its beautiful, congratulations... so whats the catch? does it look like it was made by a blind guy with no hands when you inspect it closely? there's gotta be a catch. read on another thread someone saying it has that 'cheapo' feeling and the pickup sounds awful...

yep bought a pack of 3 a month or two ago... they're ok sounding but they're way rougher on the fingers than any other nickel set i've tried, feel more like steel ones, so its back to elites for me!

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='145960' date='Feb 24 2008, 12:41 PM']I'm trying to decide between getting a rackbag, or getting a hard case. I don't gig (yet...) so will just be for rehearsal. Obviously the hard case will look after the equipment a bit better - but its not like it will be thrown in the back of a van, so does it matter? FWIW I'm looking at an LD Systems bag or a Gator shallow case both in a 6u size.[/quote] rack bags are a lil easier to lug around and they do protect your stuff well, however be careful with the zips! i've just completely knackered mine so i either take the zip off and sew on a new one (yeah cuz i'm great at sewing...) or buy a new rack bag! then again i've seen enough hard rack cases that have the doors hanging off cuz the catches have broken...

Established 10 piece soul band needs an experienced and comitted bass player. must be of high standard and have own equipment set includes songs such as mustang sally, son of a preacher man, sweet soul music, take me to the river, barefootin', shake a tailfeather etc! we need someone asap as we have gigs waiting please contact [email protected] or www.myspace.com/drsoul1 thanks!

i use a plastic dunlop thingamy (with blu-tak inside so it doesn't come apart!) on the strap button on the horn, and one grolsch thingy with a plastic dunlop fella on top on the other.... why? the grolsch thing kept unwinding the screw on the horn (guess cuz i throw my bass around my head alot) anyone else find that to be a problem? on the other end i found the plastic dunlop unwound itself and kept popping off... so i put the grolsch thing on as well... doesn't happen with the grolsch underneath cuz it cant move enough to come undone. a little OTT and very much bodged, but it seems to work!
