[/quote] I will open my Mk 1 up and find out sometime

I have a cab which doesn't vibrate Sorry, unhelpful.

PPS Matt has the chronology right, no US models and basically the Mk1 with two guises (early pimple followed swiftly by carpet covering) then the Mk2 from around 1999. Very rare are the heads and even rarer are the 1x12 cabs to go with it. An angled and a straight 1x12 cab, both 16ohm to suit the 8ohm min load. If I could find one if those rigs I'd have it. Kind of a precursor to Ashdown's Five Fifteen mini stack.

PS anything more than about £120 I would say is too much

I have an old 1996 carpet covered 15" combo and briefly owned a 15" Mk2 buffalo combo. Nothing in it tonally, though somehow the Mk2 seemed punchier. The Mk2 seemed a fair bit louder but that was probably my naive youthful ears more than anything. I LOVE the tone of these things but personally I have always found they run out of steam on gigs.

[sup]BOught it last night, stuck it on in the car this morning, loving what I've heard so far! Cheers for the heads up [/sup]

Oooh, will go buy it now....

It's part of the package we provide - band and DJ. So, er, yes!

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1362250378' post='1997625'] Something like a 5-string P ... P/MM pickup config would be ideal, simple P or P/J could work for me too. EDIT: I think it would probably need to be P/MM to persuade me to trade that Eclipse now. [/quote] Nothing I have then! This is both good and bad...

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1362340849' post='1998686'] Well said bluejay. Completely agree. [/quote] +2

Great day out, thanks again to bluejay for holding the BC torch all weekend Was great to catch up with a few people who I haven't seen for ages and I managed to get Faye to play a few nice basses too She'll be on here soon, I will make sure of that.... Basses of the day for me were the Statii (of course) and ACGs, especially Status's gorgeous red S2 Classic with faux binding and Alan's bubinga Graft 4 (I think???) That one has really got me thinking about a new toy.... Nate Watts was awesome, as were all three teenagers brave enough to stand and play i front of everyone. I'd sh*t myself in the same situation

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1362185149' post='1997054'] I took that photo with the intention of posting it for trade ... but having played with it again I'm not sure I want to do that. [/quote] Trade for what...?

Ooooohweeeeeeee I can't wait til tomorrow!

Stop posting pics of that utterly stunning Eclipse please!!!

[quote name='nash' timestamp='1362173284' post='1996890'] Gutted I'm there different days! [/quote] D'oh, haven't seen you in YEARS! Hope all is delightful

Good call - a dead cheap way of finding out if it works the way I want. £21 on Amazon! Cheers

Ah, the VFE Bumblebee and Bumblebee Jr look good. None in the UK that I can find though, haha!

Ah the Boss Slow Gear, that's the fella! Yes maybe the microsynth is a bit much for the one effect. Anyone want to build me one, or know anyone who might...?

I'm sure I've seen a pedal which does this but can't remember what it is... Basically want to combine it with a synthy/fuzzy effect to remove the attack from the notes. If there is one, can you change the length of the swell? Think of it as an auto volume pedal....

Good work organising this! I look forward to meeting a lot of you and hopefully seeing some familiar faces

Oooh, gonna be there on the Sunday with my lovely friend and colleague Faye (not a member on here... yet....) See some of you there

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1361777830' post='1990542'] Still does, bringing out an album every few years, including Eight last year. [/quote] Oooh good, another NK album to buy! Cheers To Be Frank is one of my favourite albums, period.

[quote name='Elvis Valentine' timestamp='1361285480' post='1983898'] Both appalling bands imho. I would say Bon Jovi are better purely on the strength of the fact that they did the soundtrack to Young Guns 2 . [/quote] Not true. Jon Bongiovi did it, not the band. Technicality (yes I'm a pedant....)
