Has anyone owned one or had a decent use of one?

Just wondering how well the battery packs are lasting as they have been out a few years and by now I thought someone may have had a play with one

Any reliability, durability issues etc etc. ??

Just never see any real life reviews on them - they aren't cheap!!

Best getting on www.austrailanbass.com.au (http://www.austrailanbass.com.au) forums & asking the same question. I do a few bass electrics a year, a few guys have everything from 1,2,6 & 10hp models & they seam to have no troubles. Most run them on 12v batteries in a 24v link & they do use alot less battery power.

Those bass blokes speak a different language. Thanks I'll have a look at the site. With the Aussie so strong I was hoping the prices were coming down as they look good as the compact portable for a tender. Much lighter to take away , lock away so thieves can't steal it.
