throwoff

This thing is an absolute MONSTER! Im pretty sure I have never been as impressed with a pedal as I was when I heard this one.

Schecter guitars went through somewhat of a bonkers stage about 4 years back. My brother has one its a Blackjack series (the current incarnation of this range is nowhere close to being the same guitar) Tele type. Seymour Duncan JB and 59 H/buckers Tonepros Bridge Graphite Nut Schaller Locking heads Full body binding Carved Top The parts are worth far more than the 300 pounds he paid for it new. Unfortuantly the quality seems to of dropped off somewhat of late, especially on this series. They are Duncan Designed and own brand HW now

Also they should be played with broken strings still attached

Fair enough! I take it thats in regard to the vintage fender thread? It does make me sad to see those 3 in plexiglass cases. They should be getting thrown about in a dingy bar.

Going to say Jap I honestly think they are as good as USA (maybe better) and for less money

Schaller for me, whenever I buy a bass first thing I do is fit some schallers

Is the badass not filed?

good effort

Yeh half stacks in some ways actually end up easier to move than a big combo I always find, especially in this price range where Watts are cheap but weights are high. Have a hunt around second hand you will find a hell of a half stack for 300 if you time it right, personally If i was in the market I would BIN that laney

Honestly mate, look second hand and cure both issues from the start! Is there a reason you dont want a combo?

Relying on rental/borrowed cabs is a bit of a risky game to play. You could end up with a cab that is the wrong impedence or has far too low of a RMS rating for the head you use. It only takes playing a gig where the other bands will not let you use their cab and you can't play. 300 would be best spent second hand. You could pick up a nice Ashdown MAG head and cab, Laney head and cab or something a bit wierder/older Per example [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Laney-Bass-Amp-Stack-RBH800-RBC210L8-RBC215L8_W0QQitemZ280485507748QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item414e3d32a4"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Laney-Bass-Amp-Stack...=item414e3d32a4[/url] Thats a huge amount of amp for a small amount of money, you can often find good deals like that second hand.

I have never really had a problem in a shop, perhaps thats because my dad brought me up well and took me to instrument shops and taught me the ettiqute- ALWAYS ask before playing anything. (and ask properly! eg- I have never even seen one of those before is it ok just to give it a quick play?) If wearing a belt remove it or cover it. Am I the only person who when in a shop see's someone pick up a guitar without asking wants to say something?! It's not my shop but it really gets my back up! The only place I ever had a problem was sound control Denmark street, I wanted to play an EBS 810 (I was 15 and believe me or not I could of obtained the funds to buy one) they wouldn't let me. So I called my dad who worked in the city and when he got out of work came down in his suit and suddenly I'm handed a bass and cable and plugged in.. !
