Ha ha... thanks guys. I already had the older flat front with the Black chassis .... my mate is having that amp, that's the only way I could afford to get MK II. The Phil Jones bass amp is really cool, not loud or big enough for gigs, well unless you D.I it, but the sound to my ears is studio quality. The eq is very sensitive and therefore it's got many sounds in there. Combine that with an active bass (or electro) and it's cool. I also sold my ampeg 1 x 15 and 4 x 12 to help finance the Cornford as I play alot more 6 string than 4. Thanks for the comments.
