    It’s a puzzler, this. And it seems to be more expensive than the West Ham version.

    I guess which ever one you buy, knowing a little about your bass tastes, you'll probably upgrade the Pups. (£60-£80). So I would be inclined to add a used G&L Fallout Tribute and a used Squier SS Jaguar to your list. If you recover fully and return to 34ins scale basses , chances are you would loose less when you move on your Short scale bass. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

    if you want a really cheap option the i've got a couple of the Behringer ADi 21 pedals in my pedal stash and i'd be willing to part with one cheap, I've swapped over to the Studiospares EQ/di units and the Behringer's aren't being used anymore. (the studiospares unit would also be a good shout if you can find one but since they were discontinued the supply seems to have dried up as everyone is holding on to them.) Matt

    I imagine it is and always has been a largely commercial decision. I guess it's a manufacturers job to estimate the cost:benefit ratio of every new model, either in terms of sale of that model or in wider brand awareness/status (I'm sure some if not many signature models are exercises in PR as opposed to product line extension), and if that estimate suggests that putting Flea or whoever's name on the model is going to tilt it in favour of benefit, then they'd be foolish not to? BUT I really wouldn't want to be the person who rubber stamps any of them

    Get some rounds on your P bass. Broader frequencies are then available - a little goes a long way - and you can dial it back if it's too much. Also, support the soloist by playing a little bit more - some double stops to help outline the chords - the odd harmonics to do the same and add interest or flavour. Most of my playing recently has been with a guitarist pal of mine and yes when he takes a solo, it's just me left being the band. To be honest, it fits well with my own style - I've never been one to hide away at the bottom end but I have to say that audiences tend to like it and I constantly get comments about how refreshing it is to hear someone playing "up front" and how rare that is these days. So consider giving it a go - to my mind this is more about mindset than effects pedals.

    Maybe VERY briefly in the very early days.... and of course he also had one painted black/white checkerboard...

    Hi @Linus27. Thanks for considering LFSys cabs. The main difference between the Monaco and Monza, apart from the obvious things like size and weight (and price), is the sensitivity, which is a direct result of the smaller cabinet size. Tonally, they are very close, but the Monaco will go louder than the Monza when pushed.

    Depends upon what you mean by flat, it's pretty high build and you won't get rid of all the brush marks but you can get quite a nice 'linen' texture with a short pile roller. I have tried sanding TuffCab and i have multiple types of sander. It's well named and I gave up on that one

    This thread is well depressing, no? Haven't some of you surly curmudgeons got something better to do, I dunno, like play bass or something? It's not like any of us here don't need the practice.

    Has `Arry ever used a black P-bass - not that I`m a major fan or anything but only ever seen clips of him with the blue or white ones.
  15. pn_day
    I don't need another 4-string Yamaha. But I'm tempted. Good luck with the sale!

    Matches my truly nasty voice nicely, lol.

    I have the 600W/8 ohm LFSys Monaco (with 12" speaker, port and tweeter) and it has more than met the requirements of various situations without any complaint or struggle.... Small rehearsals Large rehearsals with a 9 piece band Pub gigs Club/Arts Centre gigs Theatre gigs It is articulate, clean and punchy.... but handles plenty of low end and has excellent dispersion. Basically it can cleanly reproduce whatever you put into it... and I can also hear it clearly from over the other side of my drummer...! It's also lightweight and neatly proportioned and one of the best gear purchases I have ever made. Customer service is excellent and personal too as it is within this community.

    No West Ham sticker? 😂

    A cynical money grab that has nothing to do with Steve Harris in colour, pickups or hardware appointments. It's just a standard P Bass with a silver/mirror scratchplate.

    There are a couple of reasons for this though such as demographics and changing tastes. I don’t know many young people who listen to the radio, buy records or go to gigs by unsigned artists. They do seem to use social media and festivals with big names are a big thing though. Add in unaffordable housing, expensive transportation and food and all the rest and being a YouTube musician is probably more appealing than the traditional route to making a living in music. The overheads are low and the audience is online.

    Everyone who has met him says he's a decent bloke. Everyone who hasn't can't stand him. Someone once told me "Have you ever met a hater doing better than you?". Think that rings pretty true in this case.

    I've got a similar issue with my Rumble 100. It seems to be easy enough to remove the grille, it should come off just by pulling on that black fabric tab at the bottom right. As you say, it also seems easy enough to get some replacement cloth. What's put me off is the thought of removing and then replacing the many staples that hold the cloth in place - and making it look neat. If you do decide to have a go, I'd be grateful if you could share your progress - if it goes well it might tempt me into fixing mine.

    The LFSys cabs are probably better compared with the Barefaced Big Baby 3. The Super Compact is a single-driver cab, unless you opt for the optional tweeter. LFSys cabs have a crossover and high-mid range driver which the Super Compact lacks, but the Big Baby 3 has. I have a Monza and it goes very loud. Unless you need a large amount of volume, you should probably be looking at an LFSys Goodwood too.

    I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.
