https://www.lfsys.co.uk/bassguitarproducts Hey guys Before I pull the trigger on one of these, just want to hear some gig experiences and understand just how good this cab actually is. I've already spoken to Stevie who seems like a real gent, but it's still a lot of money for something i knew nothing about only a few days ago. This needs to be the very last cab purchase I make otherwise the missus will divorce me 😆. I've tried most cabs, mainly 212s (Barefaced, Vanderkley, Bergantino, EBS). The measurements of this cab mean it will fit in the boot of my MX5 which is a big plus, however I do not want to compromise this over the sound. How does it compare to barefaced 112s and other high end 112s? Anyone played one on an outdoor gig? I'll stop blabbing on, but you get the gist. Thank you!! Freddie

Useful advice. I've got loads of removal blankets because I used to run a removals company. I'd not considered them for this purpose because I'm an idiot. Apologies for hijacking the thread Steve, but I'll hopefully buy it in any case. -
I like tubes. When I bought my first bass in 1968 tube/valve amps were all there were. I bought a VOX AC50 with its Foundation 18" speaker cabinet. I felt like I was a real player with this set up. LOL Even today I like to have a tube in my signal chain. My current amplifier consists of a 2KW capable Class D Stereo power amp and I designed and built a tube pre-amp. three 12AX7/ECC83 tubes. Together they sound sublime. In its four space SKB rack case I can pick the thing up with just two fingers. Yea!

REFIN!

Nice old jazz there, would look nice in Olympic white, and with a nitro finish it would wear naturally
-
I like the light relic idea. I’m not in the UK, so I’m more likely to look locally if I do get it done, but thanks for the suggestion.

Hardly used Gruvgear duostrap, bought this a couple of years back when I had a shoulder injury but hardly ended up using it! Great for balancing the weight of your bass across both shoulders. More detail in the link below: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gruv-Gear-DuoStrap-Neo-Ergonomic-Double-Guitar-Strap-Black/1MF4?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22290702940&gclid=CjwKCAjw3_PCBhA2EiwAkH_j4oFmCIW3tKDA4q71KmcaVQa0RsGaQAIZ3dgJ_Zj-qyHL3Tohyz-p0xoChOwQAvD_BwE Looking for £50 including postage. -
No, but there are a couple of their regulars in the line-up.

Hardly used Roland Go Mixer. It has a lightning connector. Great for recording straight into a phone/ipad. Looking for £50 including postage. -
Thanks guys, I’m not partial to the current finish anyway. When I bought it, I was a broke music student and it was a jazz bass I could afford. The finish always looked like a homemade attempt to me anyway, so I’m not precious about that. Also, it’s of no particular value because of being “all original” - ‘cos it ain’t. It’s just a great player’s instrument. It’s purely about the sound to me and you’ve set my mind at ease on that front.

He did, that was the original point, it wasn't as good.

Superb jazz inspired bass with a modern take, nut width feels closer to a Precision but neck not as thick. Fitted with my preferred 35-95 Rotos with a low action, no unwanted fret buzz it really plays and sounds great. I have two and have decided to let one go. Its obviously been played over its 24 years so has some tarnishing, dings and scratches none of which affect functionality, really sad to see it go but letting stuff go to get a mortgage deposit going. Year – 2001 Body Finish – Gloss Black Body Wood – Alder Neck Finish – Satin Neck Wood – Maple Fretboard – Rosewood Frets – 21 Scale Length – 34” Weight – 10lbs/4.5kgs Electronics – Active Controls - V/V/T Pickups – x2 PRS High Inductance Hardcase – PRS Hardcase This is a USA made PRS, not a far eastern made bass. This is the Electric Bass line that was produced in Maryland, USA between 2000 & 2005. They made approximately 650 in total according to the PRS Serial number database Based in High Wycombe, J5 M40-

I think you should go to a dealer. Most privately sold pianos are beyond economical repair. Beyond that, you need to go by the sound. Renting a secondhand piano for a few months could save you a lot of money. It's hard to recommend a particular brand because so many of the piano makers merged and just became badges on pianos that were made in anonymous Asian factories. A venue at a place I play at fairly regularly got rid of their ex-school Knight upright which was nearing the end of its life with a three year old piano which was donated to them. It was scrapped as it was unrepairable. Avoid cheap new uprights.

Today I finally collected the WAV upright I bought from Lawrie - delayed due to my illness. This is probably the fourth time I've traded with him, which tells its own story. Always one of the good guys. Thanks Lawrie!

A decent sack-truck combined with a couple of removal blankets and some bungees is surprisingly effective. The Bass Buggy works well indoors, and on smooth concrete on tarmac, but easily loses stability if the ground is at all unevenand can set up an oscillation which is very hard to control once it starts. The sack truck seems to be a bit more faff to get the bass on there (having two pairs of hands helps - a lot), but attaching the Bass Buggy is one of the least intuitive experiences I've ever had. The sack truck also has many other practical uses for the gigging bass player, of course, and everyone should have a box of cheap removal blankets knocking around, if only to cover the gear in the back of your car. You could try one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rackit-Trolley-Folding-Lightweight-Aluminium/dp/B08XW173YY/ref=rvi_d_sccl_9/262-5107001-7827225?pd_rd_w=JbAW3&content-id=amzn1.sym.d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_p=d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_r=19P23PA9K4KGDR9DBGZ1&pd_rd_wg=u4s8W&pd_rd_r=843de221-6845-4bcf-a684-58a17b01f14b&pd_rd_i=B08XW173YY&psc=1 https://www.diy.com/departments/5-x-strong-large-200cmx150cm-protective-premium-furniture-removal-blankets/5056330390811_BQ.prd?srsltid=AfmBOopublPfoTs6QLef5ghXKdo77W49tLje8mkmqkF95a1FwC2TKlpHUe4

I would go for a white refin, just because I don't like that colour and if you prefer white, why not?
-
Cheers I'll give that a go. Haven't listened to them in years.

People like to play music and often dont know how to say no. I am using them to keep my show on the road, so seemingly have to accept there will be a lower level of commitment/effort. Thats how I’m feeling.
