I agree, but Sound Techs vary. I saw a band two weeks ago where the singer (a great singer *) was singing in a band and as the band were introduced, she thanked her Dad on the IPad? Her Dad, a drummer, but clearly no Sound Tech as the sound was shite all night. Sadly I have seen big names with a so-called pro Sound Tech sound shite as the Bass drum was eq'd and compressed to within an inch of the audiences' life. Every time the drummer hit the bass drum, the rest was obliterated for 2–3 seconds. *Aimi Knight, I know he is on Apple Music, not sure about Spotify.

Just absurd pricing. Embarrassingly so.

To judge those 15s, you must listen using decent headphones or speakers. As I heard it, the Trace sounded best followed by the Barefaced next and the Markbass sounded like a P bass with 90-year-old rounds on, no clarity at all. I know that Markbass cabs are Marmite. In a cab shoot-out. In consequent years, at the South west Bass Bash, Markbass were voted best and worst cabs. In 2025 surely the benefit of 12s and 10s, in a well-designed cab has been proven. Cabs for Barefaced and LFSys have proven that 12s are the modern sweet spot for bass, especially when crossed-over properly to a decent compression driver horn combination That gives you the benefits of that Trace 15 with the power handling to go loud. Even the simple crossover on the BC110T sounds better than most commercial cabs.

Did they tell you what was wrong?

Wow... It sucks to be you.

Toltec pickups. Lee will make whatever you want.

Royal Mail should deliver tomorrow (fingers crossed). Really looking forward to hearing the 5.1 mix.

Blah, blah, blah.

Isn’t it the same one that’s for sale on here

I’ve paired both Ashdown ABM600 and RM500 amps with Ashdown PRO NEO 210 cabs (they do 115s as well). If you like the Ashdown sound they’re def worth checking out, reasonably priced and light at about 13kg, plus as the cones (in the 210) are diagonally placed they’re a smaller footprint cab. Though having said that a new one will be more than a used Barefaced cab on here and the Barefaced would, I’m fairly sure, outperform the Ashdown.

New backup bass day got down to one bass but what a bass 72 P but band suggested I was tempting fate turning up to gigs with one bass. I have never needed the backups I’ve taken. Ever! I caved in and thought I’m just going to get a super cheap bass that can sit in a case - saw the Squier Jag Bass with one big pup - £219 - got it yesterday expecting it to be bad - but neck is satin smooth and zero fret sprout or sharp frets, 32inch - not had 32 or Jag before. It’s really nice to play. Pickup is nicely balanced and has a nice grunt to it. Tuners seem to be fine. Bridge is cheap - that and the strings are the only things I’ll change I think. im digging playing it too - rehearsals tomorrow to test it out.

Can you figure out what’s going on here? https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/fender-precision-bass-1962-sherwood-green-refinish-pre-owned/ From my reading it’s half a neck (fingerboard replaced) and some vintage tuners and that’s it.

Well, we are all different, aren't we? I have Schallers on all my Spectors which were / are used for hundreds of gigs and they (Schallers) plus the same leather straps on each keep them in the position I like (see profile pic)

Yeppers, my M5 is on my board as a 'modulation box'; good little unit that's even better with an expression pedal.

Id jump on that!

Perfectly serviceable basses mate; you’d spend £100 on a knackered squier

Barefaced, GR, alusonic... Something like 1x10", 1x12", 2x10", 2x12".

Never 15. 12s for me.
