Well hello, hello, hello. Its been quite some time since i last came down these 'ere parts, not that I expcet much has changed

So down to business, im after a good cajon to mess about with, never had one before and if im honest know bugger all about them so I'm after some suggestions for something good around the £100 mark.

Ive seen a few meinl headliner models, the sizzle and natural both for just shy of £100 and also ther LP aspire for about 85 but i dont know how they compare sound wise. Any help would be grrrrreat!

I heard Matt Cowley playing one at the Jobeky the other week, sounded great and they're not a lot of money.

I have a Lion pro active bass. Really good, although I probably didn't need something so deep, will probably be getting one of the fixed snare "sizzle" ones soon (to ensure I constantly have a high, sensitive snare with no tweaking)
