    I have a few gig bags for sale. They are all in good to very good condition. [b]Thomann Producer Backpack[/b] Loads of pockets and space for stuff. Hardly used.

[b]Heistercamp Canvas and Leather Messenger Bag[/b] Brand new and never used. Not a gig bag as such, but very nice nonetheless. £30 posted. [b]SOLD[/b] [b]Gator GMiX 1212[/b] Unused. One main 12x12 internal compartment and a smaller pocket for cables on the outside. These are £25 new. I'd like £15 posted. [b]SOLD[/b] [b]Gator GP66 Double Bass Drum Pedal Bag[/b] I've used this as a bag to just chuck general leads, cables, gaffa etc. in, It's in good but used condition. These are £28 new.

    [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1495702193' post='3305920'] With a double bass? [/quote] Yep. About 40% of the band's set has me on upright.

    I have the new Markbass CMD Super Combo K1 - 1k watts, 3 way speaker system with flat frequency response. Superb.

    The Sleeve is a good bag, with thick padding all around. However, I would say the Gator is a more substantial bag all round. The inside has a nice big cushion for the bass to sit on. The Sleeve has a thinner sponge pad. Still sufficient for most bumps I'm sure.
  6. franzbassist
    My pleasure If you're using Fenders then the Sleeve will be fine. It just comes down to how much stuff you want to carry in the gig bag along with your bass.
  7. franzbassist
    The Sleeve is very nice, I've owned two, but you can get the Gator ProGo for under £100, which has better neck protection (if your bass has an angled headstock I would not recommend the sleeve) and way more storage.

    [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1495094211' post='3301133'] My 500W Markbass AC 121 Lite combo is, however, "lite" at just 35 lbs... [/quote] Yes, love the K1 To note there's a used AC121 in Bass Direct at the moment at £599. Could be just the ticket?

    WOW

    I would recommend a used Roland TD kit off eBay or Gumtree. We picked up a TD6 for my son and it cost just £130, so we added a mesh snare, decent hi hat and an amp for less than an entry level unit would cost new. You just have to bide your time and be willing to collect.

    Progress. Due end of June

    I would recommend you speak to Newtone. The strings that came on my 33" ACG were made by them and were fab-u-lous.

    I bought a Mark Stand from Xavier in a deal as smooth as it could be. Very happy to recommend

    I like Roqsolid a lot but have just had Hot Covers made for my new Markbass combo and cab. They did a superb job, and I also think they edge it in terms of padding as they do 10mm rather than 5mm from Roqsolid. Both are excellent British companies

    Gave it a run tonight, just 150 watts at 8 ohms gave out loads of volume. Perfect back up/rehearsal/small gig amp

    [quote name='Bobthedog' timestamp='1493920406' post='3291905'] I believe the 1000 is actually two times 500. I am not sure what that means in reality but it makes me prefer the 900 which is one time 900. [/quote] You can run the 1000 as 2 x 500 or 1 x 1000 in bridge mode.

    I sold a combo to Fraser. It was a very easy transaction from start to finish, and I would happily deal with him again

    [quote name='Sean' timestamp='1493550923' post='3289028'] I've gigged one and it is more than adequate through my Barefaced SIX10. I usually use a Mesa 400+ or a Laney Nexus and it was able to match them in volume however compared to big valve monsters it's like alcohol-free beer. I use the Nano as a gigbag backup in case the real amps have issues. It came in useful one time and did a splendid job. The band is a loud rock covers band. [/quote] Thanks for that. Yes, my aim to use it for rehearsals and small gigs, but mainly as a backup.

    Most recent rig was a Mesa Subway and Breg AE201, so not exactly a slouchy setup. The band love it and have said it's like a reference monitor. You get all the nuances of the fretless and woodiness of the upright in a loud, punchy package. I can't remember the last time a member of the audience commented on my sound though!

    [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1493401407' post='3288128'] Hey walbassist, I'm guessing you have tried the K1 out in anger at least a couple of times now - you still happy with this beast? How does it compare to your previous rigs? [/quote] I love it. It sounds fantastic. Loud as you like, wonderfully balanced tone. As we've said before, very flat response so it's all about the tone of your bass. I had a bit of a windfall a couple of weeks ago so got the matching Traveler cab as well. Couldn't resist

    [quote name='Elfrasho' timestamp='1493200661' post='3286379'] That's pretty much exactly what i had imagined... This seems discontinued though? Clearly due to lack of options there can't be a market for it! [/quote] These are still in production in the US. I have the combo and asked the UK dealer about the 2x10 - they quoted £330 to import one. It's actually a very versatile combo.
  25. franzbassist
    Carvin MB10 has a matching 2x10.
