😲😐 I can't see Arry or Maiden Holdings plc signing off on this utter tosh.

For my band and previous band where we were a trio of musicians playing rock I made sure my bass sound was Full and loud so when guitarist soloed it sounded full as a band I play with a pick on a PBass and don’t need fx etc and learn to palm mute for quieter parts and let rip for loud parts. A good amp and decent cabs are all you need in my opinion and play like a bass / rhythm guitarist !

I know it is "limited", but it is impressive that Fender have elevated the Made in Mexico range to £1,700.

That´s one of my favourite records ever! Very tasty bassplaying.

I had thought of splitting and a P2. But I do not know if the P2 has enough gain to deal with mic level. Does anyone know?

Back & Forth - Foo Fighters

There's no need for a talkback mic for the soundguy, I'll just lean over on stage and talk to him. That sounds nice, thanks Matt I'll float that with him. As for the Studiospare I know what you mean, I'm not selling mine either.

Wye - Eurythmics

Yeah, to me that’s way too expensive for what it is.

Really intriguing project you've got here. Echoing the question on weight of the jazz necks (and how much an ebony/rosewood board would impact that). Also interested in how you perceive the timbre comparing different fretboard materials. I like the way all-maple necks can appear to sound/feel a little compressed.

Yup, looks like a cynical cash grab to me, unfortunately.

IIRC double the price. i think the west sham one was £800 something

I found them on prime delivery but at £42... would rather wait a few more days and get it for half the price!

Everyone? I haven't met him but have no opinion of his character. I avoid any 'influencer' because I'm not interested in their content. Bite me.

I couldn’t find one on Amazon for a decent price. All the normal priced ones said i was outside of the delivery zone (central london). I’m not sure why they are on Amazon UK if that’s the case.

Or get someone to print a port with a flange, a gasket and three mounting holes so that it covers the hole neatly. Just a thought. Rob

I replaced two BF One10s with a single LFSys Monza, for similar reasons. It's been a while since the change and I'm still absolutely delighted every time I plug in, regardless of what volume I'm at! The build quality on the LFSys cabs is far superior in my opinion too, so you'll be getting something built to last. If you regularly go LOUD with your Two10, I would look at the Monaco, as the 12" speaker will give you more, but for me, so far, the 1x10 Monza is way louder than what I was getting with my two One10s. As noted above, you're not comparing apples with apples if you're considering a Super Compact vs an LFSys cab. The crossover and additional mid/high driver of the LFSys, will really bring out more of the nuances from fretless playing. As far as the difference between the LFSys and a BF BigBaby, more like apples and apples, the BigBaby seems to be truly FRFR, and the LFSys is too, yet somehow, it's subtly more suited to bass guitar, it's still a bass cab, not a PA speaker. So in summary, I'd go for an LFSys cab Cheers, Ewan

Exactly. It had to happen that someone would play the "Jaco" card and sure enough... Who cares? Jaco may have been a great player, but he was also known to be, erm, difficult. You wouldn't want him in your band. He'd turn everything into the Jaco show, arrive for gigs off his face and generally be a PITA. It got him killed in the end (you have to be pretty deluded about yourself to think picking a fight with a doorman is a good idea). People like that are best admired from afar. I'm one of those who finds Danny K amusing. I wouldn't pay money for anything he's played and I wouldn't claim he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I like some of what he does. He seems a decent sort. Who cares that he doesn't have "ground-breaking talent"? Few do.

.....or pity, in my case!! 🙂

Classic BC answer is to just quit. An actual helpful answer would be to have an honest and open discussion about it all. Bands should not be talking behind others backs.

It’s a puzzler, this. And it seems to be more expensive than the West Ham version.
