I'm really curious to see if I can get away with buying a venture and putting it on a pf cabinet with custom mounting. Anyone tried that yet?

Very nice @Eric_Wombat!!! Its very pretty I have to admit. Do you like it with your pedals? How does the gain stage sound?

Did you ever get around to trying this? I keep running into this and the ampeg micro vr during search binges and I haven't heard much about them.

Thanks @alittlebitrobot ! I really don't mind paying the postage to a seller, since I'm the one inconveniencing them. And customs I guess makes sense but its the whole "fair market value" that throws me for a loop. Who's the boss of that? Sounds like a racket to me . (and NA means north america!). Regardless going over to pick up bits sounds all well and good until you consider the price of a stena line ticket to holyhead with a regular vehicle is pushing 200 EUR I'd rather just grapple with the imports if its something that is my hearts desire. and wahey @Bigwan you're not wrong there, though I'd probably have to find some large package receipt service in NI (hint hint nudge nudge) that isn't run by the the government trying to decide what a "fair market value" is for slabs of MDF and glass tubes that only nerds care about. Nice to meet ya both

Thanks all!

I've recently got into jamming with some friends on weekends and the gas is driving me insane. I haven't played or owned any equipment for almost 15 years, and I'm very out of the loop on what's cool in this neighbourhood as I'm originally from NA. I practice on a harley benton 5 string that I got on a whim 3 months ago, and I jam on my friends veeerrry slick Fender Meteora. I'm hoping to find a nice amp and a good jazz-style bass in the coming months so I have something more practical to practice with, as fun as the 5-string is, it does not prepare me for the thickness (or the quality) of the meteora. Can you guys give me any ideas of how well buyers from Ireland do here? Reverb is like the only used classified I've found so far and they're full of chancers who'll take your left leg if you're not careful. I know it's a trying time for us all but it certainly feels like IE-UK online trade is strong, so hopefully I can make some friends while chilling here. Regardless, it's nice to be here. I'm a real noobie so it'll be a big help even just lurking with you. Cheers! deadshed
