Work has been insane this last week, so i’ve given up trying to catch up on the last 30 pages or so.
However, I had to come and say that I caved today and bought the matching 12” extension cab for my Markbass. Doubling up certainly increases that bottom end a bit. Wow!
Plus unleashing the full 500w will annoy my guitarist beautifully at rehearsal on Monday :smug:
I was a bit annoyed though, as the music shop wouldn’t take my Tokai as part of the trade in. Apparently as a Gibson dealer they can’t sell any copies of tbirds, LPs, SGs etc. If Gibson spot even one used copy on the website they claim that they will stop supplying all Gibson and Epiphone products. Another great business practice from Gibson!

Gibson dealers other than GC and SA are very rare. Makes sense they'd protect the account, despite the idiocy of the terms.
 
I totally get it from the point of view of the shop, but to restrict small independent businesses like that stinks of totalitarian business practices.
Totally agree, and its one of the reasons Gibstone is sinking and Bumper isn't...well, that and Bumper having enough cash to absorb their collosal blunders far better than Gibstone has been able to.
 
He didn't disclose the scratch on the back. What a sleaze! Plus, it appears to have had six strings, or maybe the headstock isn't matched to the rest of the remains. There's just too many things wrong to even think about that one. I hate it when sellers try to pass things off for something they aren't.

Sleaze ball New Yorker.
