[/quote] Yes, there is a lot of history of this type of thing on here... but unless you've tried one of these basses you wouldn't understand what the "hype" is about. I borrowed WoT's PJ for a while and used it in a band situation as well as plenty of home noodling. It is a fantastic bass and I would have bought it like a shot - but the pickup placing and colours weren't quite right for me, and I can get one made to my own preferences for only a couple of hundred quid more! It's a total no-brainer! People who own and play Fenders (right up to and including Custom Shop models), Seis, Sadowskys and other top-quality "boutique" basses are raving about the quality of the Maruszczyk range, and marvelling at the prices. Of course, it's helped by a very favourable Sterling-Euro conversion rate, but still - the quality of a boutique handmade bass for the price of a MIM Fender?? Crazy.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1454582510' post='2970958'] Damn, the LM3 sounds sweet through a pair of these S112s! It seems that the LM3 is better suited to the S112 than the Streamliner was. It even seems louder somehow! [/quote] My LM2 is certainly very "rich" in its midrange - and it would seem that mids are what the S112s specialise in. I guess they just work well together

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1453979811' post='2964829'] Jamaican music is a very important part of 1960s UK youth culture and it is seen by many as in total opposition to rock. Skinhead versus hippy. [/quote] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Bjl2x1ZMw

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1454372268' post='2969189'] [/quote] I have seen the future... BTW Jose, how have you connected the cabs to get a total load of 8 ohms? I would have thought it would have been 2?!

Edward just bought a pair of Bergantino cabs from me. He put up with a lot of my dithering, whilst maintaining excellent communications. Cash on delivery and a mutually convenient meet-up in York. An excellent deal with a top bloke - highly recommended

Not that he needs it, but some more positive feedback for Jose. Just bought his Barefaced Compact (after some very complex three-way communications and a number of other possibilities!). Cab exactly as described, at a very fair price, and delivered very locally to me. Excellent deal, great comms and highly recommended

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1454063884' post='2965891'] Four of these are still a very compact solution, [/quote] Especially if stacked vertically

Great job guys! It would have been great if someone with some Bergantino cabs had been available - particularly as these seem to be the standard to which all others are compared at the moment.

[quote name='deksawyer' timestamp='1453940643' post='2964609'] [/quote] Isn't that Jose's current set-up? Didn't the rest of you bring any cabs?

Been listening to this track a lot today. Absolutely fecking awesome! One of the most haunting videos I have ever seen and the music is simply beautiful. Reminiscent of a meeting between Air and Scott Walker... Maybe a bit of Mogwai thrown in too? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kszLwBaC4Sw[/media]

Like a tree falling in a forest, if nobody notices you "vanish", have you really vanished? At first I misread the OP title as "would you buy varnish from Basschat?". I'm sure I'm becoming dyxlexsic in my old age...
