I would imagine it suffers more from the constant need for affirmation.

Makes sense. Maybe they pointed to MM, as it has colored wires and would be easier to identify. As P has two black, two whites. Not sure, and they didn't elaborate. But I'm happy as long as it is working now Here she is, finally, in all her glory!

Just bought a number of books from Mickeybro. Was an easy and smooth transaction and they arrived quickly. Thanks Stuart

I have just bought this one, for a great price, used: Should have it by the end of this week.

First of all I think it's probably the room causing a particular problem. I think we've all experienced that and I share that opinion. However I'm seriously worried about your hearing. I use a single modest Celestion 10" cab quite frequently as on-stage monitoring and it's plenty for my needs, it does have a horn too though which helps articulation. Those four Celestions will knock out 130db which is easily enough to damage your hearing and that Crown amp is no weakling either. I would seriously consider in-ears, you might not like them but being so hard of hearing that you have to give up gigs altogether you will hate even more. It comes to all of us in the end and some hearing loss may already be part of your problem. As to your problem you need to boost the mids and cut the bass. The bass is where the room resonances are and the fact your sound egineer was struggling with the kick sound says there was a problem in the room. On stage you'd also be hearing all the lowest frequencies from the PA which are omnidirectional, just as loud behind as they are in front. With the PA probably louder than the stage levels you almost won't need any bass at all from your amp. I suspect you were close to the PA? I've gone as far as cutting all the bass below 120hz by 24db/8ve before now. Look to boost 200-2kHz as Bill suggests. Also look to get something designed to get the mids to your ears like the LFSys Monaco which has the horn rotated to project a vertical rather than horizontal plane. It might also be worth wearing ear plugs, they do muffle the sound a bit but at the sound levels you were operating at tiny muscles in your ear contract to protect your hearing, just lowering the sound levels might help you get enough information to follow your own playing. Counter intuitively you might hear more with plugs in place

I use a Vox Bass Amplug, connected to my laptop and some headphones. Cheap and cheerful. Does the job nicely.

The pickups just say emg in gold on the bottom right. I did see a video where on of the retailers were saying they are designed standard size so you could upgrade etc if needed.

Congrats. I have a cheaper BB and I’d love to level up to one of these some day. I don’t think this model ever had emgs as standard, must have been modded by the previous owner. Got any pics?

Although no one wishes they spent more time at work I do think many might think 'I wish I lived in a nicer place, had more holidays and saw more of the world, eat better meals, retired earlier, financially supported my kids better'... all of which unfortunately require £ which you usually get more of the more work is done. Don't get me wrong though, I'm no fan if spending time at work just for the sake of it. Work smarter not harder n'all that. But I do think it's an alright means to an end. I sort of figure 'fair enough', it is a balancing act.

No. Originally it would have had Yamaha alnico pickups.
