Facebook and gumtree. I got at 15” bass cab on gumtree for £10

Ampeg ba108 is superb

I’ll give you a piece of advice from my own store of not-that-naturally-gifted. Put your bass to one side and find a funky drum beat on the net. Make up your own bass line in your head - if you sit there with a bass you might find something by luck and you might not. if you dream the baseline in your head, you’ll know where the notes fit in the pattern when you pick up the bass. Try and find any one of them and play it in the right place, then add more one or two at a time. some people can just riff this kind of thing off instantly. Sadly I’m not one of them and I find this way easier

Used to be mine, lovely bass.

You see @Mrbigstuff we can do this - thats #2… so what kind of tonewood would work best for that turnaround? I’d recommend ash, probably from the 60s and Leo must have breathed in its general vicinity at least twice (#3) and that kind of turnaround might work in metal if you left out thirds (#4) and I’m sure a MIM made out of that kind of wood would punch its weight well with a US model for less £ (#5) HOUSE

It’s either a prototype or it’s a custom. I’m confused.. if it’s custom, it should be exactly what you asked for, but great quality. if it’s a prototype it’s not custom and whilst it may not be exactly what you wanted but it doesn’t take much effort to tart up those faults.

Slight change of direction, at least in the short term. I’ve managed to snaffle a couple of EV ELX18P bass bins that are the ‘perfect’ match for my EV ZLX15P tops (at least they are listed in the DSP) so I will be going with this setup for at least the next six months. I still like the look of those NLX24’s and may well still take the plunge once the 2026 diary fills up a bit.

I was just wondering that.

They were bloomin’ brilliant, weren’t they! Such a fun sounding band. And I can attest to how good Lee’s old Fender sounded through the Kemper. He was using at the gig they did at Pizza Express Live last year too. Nice little setup for a very bijou stage.

Absolutely. It's the *perfect* device for me, because after 20 odd years of pushing every effects unit I had to its limits, I finally found something that did all the things I previously couldn't, but having an Anagram-style interface that turned on and off would really help people get started with it

The Blue Bosses are looking for a Jazz bassist (Double Bass or Electric). We are an experienced five piece: tenor sax, keys, drums, guitar and soon to add vocalist. We practice every second Tuesday 10am in Greater Bookham Surrey. Playing Swing, Bossa, Bebop, Modal, Ballads and now looking to complete our line up for gigs in 2026. Below is a link to our taster demo on SoundCloud. Thanks for looking.

Its a shame that there isn't a more powerful (or at least more core'd version of the dwarf, as they had stopped the ModX near the end. And a better display but however good it was, I don't think that most people were ready for that level of flexibility. I do feel if they had made the software development environment a bit friendlier, they would have had a lot more of a headsup in the market.

But I don't think there's a Moog in the set, I think it's a downs‌‌ized version of his normal ri‌g maybe?

Traded my Peerless Bassmaster for Lyle’s Fretless Dean + some cash. Met up and had a nice chat, great bloke to deal with. 👍🏼

Can it be used for metal?

Welcome!

There is one improvement that could be made. Just make the pins retractable so they swivel flat when the plug is extracted, and with a button on the top to swivel them into place for insertion. This removes the issue of stepping on three vicious pins when in bare feet causing pain, or in shoes causing damage to the plug.

I’m tempted. I actually bought Slate Mix Bundle One (the original Virtual Mix Rack) for £44. It is kinda fun, though in 2025 it does seem a bit dated though I bought because I remember thinking it was an almost revolutionary plugin when my ex band’s producer demonstrated it to us in 2015 Do I really more EQ and compressors and amp sims? No. Am I tempted? Yes.

There is this EBS Session 120 in the ads here for £100 and the seller is "willing" to send it. You can't go wrong with this combo:

I don't think I can top being spat on. I remember playing a club where they put us in a separate room with no bar. The clientle were in their early 20s. They would walk into the room we were playing in and immediately take an " about face" and walk out. Lol Daryl

You might be right Pete. Wiki has been wrong in the past. Daryl

Thanks. I'm still the third best singer in a trio though 😂
