[quote name='molan' timestamp='1338307834' post='1672495'] Did I hear that a second cab headed in your general direction as well? If so, I bet the stack looks awesome! [/quote] You heard correct Barrie. It looks, and more importantly sounds, incredible!

I sold Mark his old Epiphone Jack Casady back to him. Great communication and a thoroughly decent gent to boot. A pleasure to do business with and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

Another smooth as you like transaction with the great man. Can't recommend him highly enough!

[quote name='deanbean502' timestamp='1338019728' post='1668622'] Not bad it sound really nice and warm crisp and clear which was just what I was after. Only trouble is my LB30 just isn't powerful enough I really need to upgrade my head soon. [/quote] I found my LB30 to be plenty loud enough if I was using it with big cabs. Worth thinking about if you like the tone of the LB? [quote name='deanbean502' timestamp='1338025493' post='1668734'] Drool! [/quote]

Here's my new rig, Markbass TTE500 head and two NY151RJ cabs. Tube pre, tube compressor, tube eq, analog power supply. Very loud, and very tubey!

[size=4]I'm in the process of returning two cabs and these, verbatim, are the options I was given in an email:[/size] [indent=1][size=4]1)Musikhaus Thomann organises a return with [b]DHL[/b] / your local post. You would simply be required to drop the parcel off at your local post office (with the returns label you will have been sent) and [b]15 EUR per parcel[/b] would be deducted from your credit note for this service.[/size][/indent] [indent=1][size=4]2)Musikhaus Thomann organises a [b]UPS collection[/b]. [b]30 EUR per parcel[/b] would be deducted from your credit note for this service.[/size][/indent] [size=4]3)You organise a [b]return yourself to Musikhaus Thomann[/b]. I can't really lug two cabs to the PO so have gone for option 2. I'd have no issue returning basses and amps via option 1, but lesson learned methinks as far as cabs go! [/size]

How did I miss this thread? My 1970 P bass and the Veillette Archtop and can I put my BSX Allegro upright in here too?

Sold Dean some picks. A small deal, yes, but top notch communication and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Depends what sort of rock sound you are after I guess. Markbass is know for clean, but they do make some heads that have tubes in them if you want (at least a bit of) grit.

[size=4]As a finger style player all my 30-odd playing years, after joining a Jam/Weller tribute band last year I tried out loads of different sizes, shapes and gauges. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I finally settled on Rotosound [color=black]Celluloid Abalone heavy gauge rounded triangle[/color]s, which are the same as Bruce Foxton uses, although I also like the V Picks Tremolo.[/font][/size]

[quote name='Ghost_Bass' timestamp='1337358617' post='1658844'] But you can change them for taller ones! [/quote] Thanks guys. It looked like I was going to have that problem, but in the end I went in a different direction!

I sold Liam my Ashdown JJ500. A pleasure to deal with and great communication all the way. A big thumbs up from me!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1337344375' post='1658507'] They were a good price too [/quote]
