    Hello! In a nut shell. Im looking to invest in one of these after being convinced from a few YouTube vids and reading up on the specs . . . I pretty much know a lot about this amp but haven't played or heard one yet in person. Looking to gather opinions from fellow Bass Chatters before i go ahead. Good? Bad? Anything you would recommend me to get with it? I have a Mac mini, pimped with all the additional options so I don't see any problems running this with the software but has anyone had any problems with the "free" software with either PC/MAC? Anything is appreciated! Thank you BSB

    Personally I think £375 is more than enough, wasn't that long ago you could purchase them for that price . . . . Choice is yours

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1329237844' post='1539365'] *Grin* However a Thunderbird is a traditional bass - just not as common these days as a Fender. Besides the Epiphone version has far more in common with a Fender bass than the Gibson instrument it takes it's name from. [/quote] Amen to that

    [quote name='The Walloper' timestamp='1329442616' post='1542699'] Stunning bass. I'd have one in a minute. Although they have seriously went up in value the past few years. I have a 2004 limited edition 4003 and it cost me £1200. Now they are £1700+? [/quote] It's aweful, I have been onto this for quite some time . . Marcus Miller 5 string going from £1,200 to £2,200 during the same time period. Lovely basses, just don't think I could justify the price. Ruby sounds nice, will look forward to that release

    The 70's tele bass? I know on thier site they ship them from the factory with "Fender® USA Super Bass 7350MS, NPS, (.045-.105 Gauges)" but I know with me, Ive used Roto's and EB Slinkys on my 51 but my others are all top loaded so never come across this problem before. All the best bud

    [quote name='Cygnus x-1' timestamp='1329683496' post='1545948'] Vintage Icon VJ96 fretless, superb for just over £200, even less used. [/quote] +1. Aye, good bass indeed. I did own a Squier VM fretless (Squiers take on a Fender Jaco P) was the one and only fretless I have owned and regret selling it but try either of the two. Hope this helps

    Perhaps better posting on "eBay links" on the BC Market Place?

    I know quite a few people have reactions to nickel, so right away they've got people buying these strings but what's the price difference between nickel/steel to cobalt in raw or scrap? Just wondered as it wouldn't surprise me them using cheap metal alloys in materials with strings and "sterling by musicman" save them money and also bump up the value due to the "properties" in these dark financial times. Either way, I'm still happy with my Roto's Peace out guys

    Why not have a J/MM pp combo? The tones would be sweeeeeet! ^_^ Like said, absolutely stunning bass, don't sell

    Glad to see they're still going, competeing with prices and satisfying customers. Still doesn't compare to thier stores, most notably Liverpool, by far the best I've visited. Customer friendly and a less corporate approach, unlike a certain company who always pester me and try to pressure me in to buying stuff 2 mins through testing it [strike]Dawsons[/strike] Try and keep this topic going as I'd like to know what the quality of instruments are like from there now theyre Internet based.

    [quote name='musophilr' timestamp='1329397457' post='1541794'] There was one referenced from the Music Radar forum some time ago. Might take a while to find it. Edit: Eureka. [url="http://www.guitarstorage.com/studio-guitar-case-racks/"]http://www.guitarstorage.com/studio-guitar-case-racks/[/url] [url="http://www.totally-free-woodworking-plans.com/guitar-rack-plans.html"]http://www.totally-free-woodworking-plans.com/guitar-rack-plans.html[/url] Does this help? [/quote] That guitar storage one is pretty damn beautiful and would look ace in function room (or where you practice on your bass) or a studio. Bookmarked Shame they look a bit TOO simplistic for thier price :-/
