My gut reaction based on not much is that it's because so many people start off by requesting it. They say something like "I'm just starting out so I want something that will be ok for playing along at home and not so big that the other half complains I'm taking over the living room, but it'd be nice if it'd also be up to jamming with some friends when I get to that point, maybe travelling by bus so we can have a few cans". A 200W 1x10 combo, then, because if it was 500W it would sound like overkill for a beginner and if it was 50W it'd 'never keep up with a drummer', so it's 200W. Of which they'll get 140ish and there's no getting away from the fact that it sounds like a single 10, so then they say "I like it, but I want more". Matching 1x10 extension cab, then, because that's how you 'get all the power out of the amp'. So the manufacturer/shop sells another unit, and in fairness it probably works out well for the customer in most cases. I started on a Hartke HA2000 (200W), have gigged a lot with Markbass Nanos (300W) and am now using TC BAMs (200W) through whatever is already on stage and I don't have to carry. 200W through a heavy and unfashionable old 4x10 is fine for metal.

I returned one to Andertons on Friday so they might put that back up for sale. They also had one in their pedal display cabinet. it was a great piece of equipment and very easy to use, but ultimately I felt it was overkill for my needs

Up for sale is this passive Sterling by Music Man Pete Wentz signature StingRay bass in a very eye catching Fiesta Red finish. I had a change of heart and withdrew my 40th anniversary Squier Jazz ad recently, so have put this up for sale as although I love it, it's the bass getting used least with my band and I've recently bought another bass. This is a very cool, passive StingRay in fantastic condition (small scratch on the back of the headstock pictured in the only sign of wear), with one of my favourite necks I've ever had on any bass. Roasted maple, stays straight throughout all seasons and feels great in the hand for those who like a chunkier bass neck. This also comes fitted with Dunlop Straploks and crucially; high quality Schaller BM tuners to replace the stock tuners which were to be blunt, utter garbage. As a passive bass with a single humbucker with just volume and tone controls it's less versatile than a regular StingRay, but it sounds great and it's a snarling rock beast that you can also get a lot of mellower tones out of. You will get most tonal variety from how and where in relation to the pickup you play it, rather than the tone control to bring out the dynamics of the fat sounding pickup. Also comes with a good quality Ritter gig bag; has a broken handle (as pictured) but all other straps and handles are in good working order. I would much prefer collection in person or half-way meet if you're reasonably close to Brighton in the South East. However, I do have a sturdy cardboard box to send this in so could look into sending at an additional cost to the buyer, and at their own risk (as it's not in a hard case so can't be insured by courier services). Please see my feedback for assurance of past honest dealings on the forum: Any questions, send me a message. Thanks.-

Gotoh Tuning peg screw ..
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks @rainbowreality. I do use duck duck go most of the time, but for some reason there are times when google has more options . I found the folk at Glued to music really professional and friendly. They were doubtful that the screws they had were suitable. I would contact them again if needed ! I have a friend up north who is always super busy ,and who runs his own guitar shop. I managed to make contact with him yesterday , and the replacement screws are on their way ! -
More power means more heat which generally means bigger enclosure and more fans. Im using a 600w head and that has three fans on it so its big and its heavy and it was expensive (£700 when new). 200w is plenty for pub gigs and thats all most people want. Ive only got a 600w head because I like Ashdown ABM's and couldn't find a 300w head locally at that time. I guess small amps must be big sellers otherwise manufacturers wouldn't make so many of them

I'm 12 hours in and love it. Does the StingRay well but with a bit more zing I'd say, similar to you I have 3 StingRay specials to compare to. It also does the Jazz thing and the P thing as well. I'm very impressed so far. Superb recommendation from Bassdirect.

My initial keenness on this have died down somewhat for me. Seeing how you need to long press multiple switches to change presets killed it for me, means I could never consider using this live without a separate midi footswitch strip, which goes a long way to defeating the point of the smaller footprint and may even cost more than just having the full sized version. I've managed to mess up preset switching just pressing one 😅 Its looks great for use on a desk or midi driven rack, but otherwise I just don't think 4 switches is enough.

First one back for the new year as vox was away in January and we were a guitarist down, so there was a bit more space to fill but generally went ok. Good crowd singing and dancing so that was good. We had a rehearsal last Monday to clear the cobwebs and check adjustments for songs minus a guitar. I decided to run: bass->Anagram->Baby Sumo->Barefaced BB2 and with the Anagram di’d to the PA but got the usual amp and spare out anyway as I had a previous issue with the Baby Sumo (not repeated since) so wanted to be prepared. No problems last night and it sounded great in the wild and through my IEM’s. Massive cramping in my fretting hand in the last couple of numbers which was a trial and I ache this morning. Now I’m away for some r&r after a crazy couple of months at work, and I get back just before the next gig so will be going into that with no rehearsal and a couple of weeks not playing

More extreme weirdness from the extreme ends of Youtube
SteveXFR replied to musicbassman's topic in General Discussion
Its unusual but I definitely dig it. Weird is good. U2 and Coldplay are what you get without weird and thats bad. -
Sanded the headstock back and aged it a little to stop it looking like new (it was a nice deeper colour due to its age). 2 coats of gloss lacquer and it’s ready to apply the decal.

A bit like standing in a station watching the departures board - supply times in the UK seem to be slipping back. I think GG has shifted from 02/02 to 13/02 and now end of the month. Probably not too surprising given global demand but I look foward to seeing real-world reports and reviews from UK users
