Elvis Impersonator: Blackpool Pier - Manic Street Preachers

Wigan Pier - Houghton Weavers

My perfect gig… Somewhere within an hour from home, with good parking and an easy load in. Catering of which the band can partake is always good. A responsive crowd, decent pay and no one requesting Oasis.

I can't entertain the idea of buying a bass with blocks but without binding. It aught to be illegal.

Correct, there's a lot more to a quiet cooling system than just the fan, and a lot of ways to inadvertently turn a modified amp into a perpetual paperweight...

Unless the belief that they sound and feel different is irrational.

Are you using the supplied power supply? Try running it on USB C

And for the people who join up and make one post, a very positive review for some shop, or a for sale ad, and never reappear.

To put that into context for the same output level you need at least twice the cone displacement with bass as you do with guitar. To realize twice the displacement requires double the voltage swing, which is four times the power. You may need as much as four times the displacement, which is four times the voltage swing, which is sixteen times the power.

...and their playing happens at the ear's most sensitive frequencies.

The Road To Hell - Chris Rea

So not irrational, then? 🤣

I have one, but I'm currently using it as a practice amp with a digital piano. It's never been gigged 😀 . I'm considering buying a 15 to match with it for a rather unique stereo gigging rig. Left hand through the 15, right hand through the 4x8.

Bought a BB bass from Gerry. Great experience. Thank you mate x

My Steinberger only has 4 strings so is seldom used and is unlikely ever to be played out again, but why would I ever sell it? It has way too much sentimental value, even if I could get a good price for it. Keep the Stingray.

I have an 89 Stingray that I acquired from the original owner, a good friend of mine, in the early 90s. For years it was my only bass, went to uni with me, player in numerous bands etc etc. it was a dream bass for me at the time. It's a bit battered now and doesn't get played as much as it should, but it'll be the last bass I part with if I'm ever in the position of having to offload my selection (being in the fortunate position to now have several basses). It still plays and sounds great, and looks cool too. In fact I'm a bit inspired to take it out to my next gig after writing all that. So, obviously in your position I would hang on to it if at all possible.

The global eq and ease of access/routing the outputs was a really nice feature I thought. But there’s shouldn’t be hum!

Oooh!

Lovely sounds & appreciation from my Jazz trio last night regarding the Lakland. I reckon it could be a keeper * * Famous last words...

I bought a used one, it was actually a trade and I got them to throw in the cover for the 112 combo they had which doesn’t quite align with the handle but is close enough. I am impressed with it although it isn’t super loud but I don’t need loads of volume. I run a sansamp bass driver v2 into it with a scoop of mid and it sounds sweet and warm.
