Assured destruction. Combo Line Out at least gives a fighting chance for the 10" PA unit to contribute. You would need all four running at low volume to save them from the bass and hear anything useful.

For anyone IN the UK, I once took a bus from London to meet Tony - yes it was a TERRIBLE journey, but it's doable if you want to smuggle it back in your hand luggage! 😂- 1 reply

MXR M85 bass distortion. Great distortion pedal in good condition. Velcro on the bottom. £90 delivered. Any questions just ask 👍 -
Thanks to @Leonard Smalls amazing experience and photo... Jammin' with E.T. - is inspired by how I imagine it'd sound when jamming with E.T. at 30,000 feet.

I’ve just sold an OLP MM5 Stingray five-string to Ash, in what I think must have been his first BC transaction. He came over (a 90-minute drive), played the bass superbly through my minimalist rig and we had a great chat about basses, gear and life in general. The whole process was an absolute delight and I can heartily recommend Ash to other BCers who might be thinking about doing business with him in the future.

Little Jazz duo gig in Essex (guitar and electric bass) - second gig in three years. Blew up my Acoustic Image Clarus and ended up playing through a Fender practice amp but just about got away with it. Couldn't have been bad as we got booked for another gig somewhere else on the back of it.

I had it on a Fender Stu Hamm signature model. Was all good.

Connecting the speaker output of your Rumble to the input of an active speaker is definitely not recommended. You are likely to blow both the output stage of your combo and the preamp of the active speaker. You could run the "LINE OUT" of your Rumble to the active speaker though using an XLR cable, but your combo will still be running though it's own single speaker and seeing total load of 8 ohms. Rob

Obviously I can't speak for that particular bass, it's history, setup and all that... But I play a 5/35, and it's a good solid bass, sounds good, and seems to be quite insensitive to the weather, temperature, humidity, etc. Over the past few years I've had the bridge reprofiled and a fingerboard shoot, which has improved playability, but I've no complaints at all really.

pmt was ok ...i bought a squire and even had a couple of basses worked on plus strings and pedals ..i think there is now no other option for me other than online.

Like he said ☝️ Try both and see which you like the sound of best, and which feels best in your hands. Remember that you're obviously going to need to allow for the instrument not having your ideal setup or favourite strings, but you'll know which one it is. My generic personal preference would be the Sire. They offer a lot of quality bass for not much money, especially on the used market.

Feel free to make offers, I'm having something of a gear clear-out at present, and if you haven't used one of these before, they are extremely useful practice tools, and with a little bit of experimentation are also good for live and recording 👍 -

Hi Scott funnily enough I was thinking of relisting it as I'm definitely using my Mesa gear more at present, where are you based? -
Slimming down my studio gear at present, aiming to only have what I need rather than a lot of spare capacity! This has been very well looked after and has probably ad no more than 200hours use (still has the plastic stuff on the display!). I only use it for tracking as I use a UAD Satellite to manage plugins while mixing. Come with all original packaging/documentation. Happy to courier or for collection in person in Whitstable or London Also moving on a pair of Towsend Labs/UAD L22 Sphere modelling mics here-

I'd consider trade/PX for a high quality bass amp, ideally large (I'm no fan of micro or lightweight). Mesa always my preference but anything in that top-end gear space could work 👍 I'm also moving on my UAD Apollo X4 interface here -
I'm very happy to take sensible offers on this as I'm looking to fully insulate/soundproof a cabin once this has gone, and over and above needing the unit out of the way (it's pretty big), I kinda need the proceeds from selling the booth it to pay for the cabin materials -
Competition Burgundy for the win 😎👍

I depped for Tiago once (I believe he is in Cambridge). Apparently, he was in college with pianist Hiromi Uehera and played in her trio. I had not heard this band although I think I have heard of them somewhere on my travels. Sounds great. I'd dep for him with this lot if he ever needed me to 🤪 Just looked it up. It was a band Tiago played in called Q3 led by pianist/composer Martin Hallmark. All original compositions. It was a nice gig. Electric bass (my favourite).

Warwick Masterbuilt Thumb NT5 - Bubinga pommele with black hardware

Warwick s/n lookup says this is product number: 1275080004BWBPOWWW, which is a product number still being used today. IF those specs have not changed for this product since 2016 (SOME specs have though, e.g. Ratio tuners, brushed metal pickup covers,... why does Warwick use the same product number ) then it has the following: Fingerboard Radius: 26" (660 mm) Scale length: 34" (864 mm) Long Scale Width Nut: 45,0 mm / 1.8" Width 12th fret: 60,8 mm / 2.4" Width 24th fret: 69,11 mm / 2.7" I can't get more quantitative than that at the moment, as I'm traveling. Neck feels pretty comfortable to me, so I don't believe it is a 'broadneck' Thumb, if that is what you're wondering. 'Broadneck' NT5 (product number: 1975671004BWABPFBW) has the following specs: Fingerboard Radius: 47" (1200 mm) Scale length: 34" (864 mm) Long Scale Width Nut: 47,0 mm / 1.9" Width 12th fret: 71,5 mm / 2.8" Width 24th fret: 84,38 mm / 3.3" -
We played our first full gig last night (we did a short set at a charity event few weeks ago) We couldn't of hoped for better. The venue is outside but part covered... it's a bit different which makes a great place to play. We were all worried that we'd have problems with the mixer like at rehearsal, but all was good. There was a decent sized crowd with added benefit a hen do were there (big tick for target demographic there). It was our singer's first ever full gig and she was fantastic. She was insanely nervous to begin with, but after a couple of songs she was loving it. The manager told us it was the best attended night so far this summer and we'll get booked again, definitely. Also a guy from another band said he'd drop our name to a really good venue with good rates. A 10 out of 10 night.
