How gigable is the MINIMARK 802 N 300?
LombardPhill replied to LombardPhill's topic in Amps and Cabs
Hi All, A lot of great advice here. If only the rest of the internet was as helpful! The Mini CMD 121 does look like the pragmatic option, but it is lacking the "I want one!" factor. Also, my first gig (1989!) was with a 12in combo that sounded decidedly muffled, so I used 15in's after that when I was still gigging. I'm going to have a think (I'm not in a rush), and if I buy one I'll let you guys know what I think of it. Thanks again. -

Yeah, realistically just buying a TC electronic 208 and a Gnome head would get similar results for half the cash. -

Priced to sell. Mint, case, documents. No trades. Up for sale is 2010 Limited Edition Left Handed Warwick Corvette. A stunning example. Excellent & in mint condition. One previous owner, who appeared to have hardly played it. I purchased it in c.2018/19 and have only played it a handful of times. It has lived 99% of its time in the case. I am a guitarist and occasionally dip into bass - I thought I would play more but life got in the way. And that is not to even open up my journey into left-handed guitar playing - I am a lefty who has played righty since aged 12. For various reasons, I went all out for a few years and taught myself to play lefty. This purchase was part of that journey. Long story short my "experiment" failed and I have resorted to playing right-handed again. Hence, sadly, selling this wonderful instrument. Neck, set up, action, playability, feel are all superb. And sound versatility, wow! There are just loads of options. This is a real example of beautiful luthier workmanship with absolute top tier materials and hardware. Lovely to hold and play sitting or standing. A real eye catcher! Condition is as photohraphed. I have tried to detail every angle. All electronics work 100%. Blurb / Description. It was constructed with light weight Ash body topped with nicely figured Ziricote and 4 pcs maple + Ekanga veneer neck thru body module with maple fingerboard and block inlays. The overall weight is less than 10 pounds. The neck profile is relatively slim when comparing to other Warwick makes this limited corvette more enjoyable to play. Warwick described this Ltd edition Corvette as “it has Fender Jazz written all over it”. It sports a pair of twin single-coil J-style pickups, two 3-way coil selection mini-toggles (single/humbucker/parallel), active MEC electronic (which can be bypassed via the push/pull volume knob), master volume, pickup balance knob, 3 band EQ that boost or cut the treble, mid and bass. This is one of the most versatile bass designed by Warwick. Other features: Just-a-nut III, Strap locks, COA, Warwick care kit and a non-original hard case that fits the bass like a glove. Warwick only made 300 of this worldwide including both 4- and 5- stringers. This is #121 and was engraved by laser at the back of the headstock. To make it even more collectible, this bass was hand signed by the president of Warwick, Hans-Peter Wilfer. Grab this before someone does!!!

Sticking it on the fridge at the end was very amusing. However, as mentioned above, totally bonkers. -

Truly bönkers! -
what are you playing atm? do you have or have you tried any 33" scale bass ? (not many at retailers i can guess) , I've played/owned and built a lot of basses and guitars and for me it's down to pickup/placement and strings + your own technique (unless your playing an acoustic instrument (again strings+technique are a big part of any of that sound) I find the "ToneWoods" methos is used by folk who want to charge you a lot or so people can justify why they spent a lot ..... come at me bro

I didn’t think his production line actually built the engines or any of the other parts of the car.

actually all their own brand strings are dirt cheaper guitar sets from £1.30!! change them every gig at that price but I've recently bought 50 sets from a closing down JHS so I'm done for strings now might try a set of these flats though -

Lfalex v1.1 started following (Belated) NCD and home-made plinth/riser.

Phil Jones Bass C8 atop its new home. Plinth was made from 2x 400mm² paving slabs, 2 carpet tiles and an old 6mm thick exercise mat. The cargo strap runs under the bottom slab, but above the slice of exercise mat. Holds it all very firmly in place so no errant relatives dislodge anything. The strap unfastens in 2 seconds and the cab can be removed for rehearsal/gigging. The plinth elevates the cab by ~70mm. I doubt that changes anything for boundary reinforcement, but it's all very rigid and stable in a way it wasn't before, plus there's a small degree of mechanical decoupling from the floor. In any case, it certainly sounds good.

I wish I hadn't seen this.... Ideas, ideas, ideas..... First time I've seen a guitarist that really, really, needs safety goggles.... Basically its an offensive weapon I could also have told him that he couldn't make it from plastic -

As I mentioned in passing, I think there's deliberate obfuscation going on. In the same way that any computer program is an "app" these days, there's some none-too-subtle marketing going on to dissuade people from (i) asking what's under the bonnet and (ii) questioning what should actually qualify as "artificial intelligence". "Large Language Model" isn't as snappy or sexy, but it's a much more accurate description of what most of these services actually are! And as technically impressive as a large language model is, I wouldn't go as far as to call it "intelligent" - but this is exactly the kind of vast philosophical question their marketing depts would like us to ignore!

A well trodden discussion topic! Covers bands range from hobbyist musicians for whom playing once or twice a month live for fun is the goal, and they're in no way dependent on the income and are happy to accept £50 a head. I have several band members in my crew whom I would term "semi-pro", and for whom income from the band plays a key part of their earnings. We do a mixture of pub and function work and we don't accept pub bookings for less than £100 a head. We've pretty much got weekly bookings already in the diary for 2026 from our pub residencies. Function work pays considerably more and some BC'ers are in bands doing purely function work, some making a full time living from it. Quality tribute bands can often command very good money too - reflecting the time in and effort into their product. Solo artists are providing their own kit and transport and having to entertain a crowd without the energy we can get from bandmates and a live drum kit behind - they deserve their pay and good luck to them! It's not one size fits all.
