I used to commute to Birmingham, each spring I had this odd experience where my eyes would water as I was driving down the M42 for a month or so. After several years I eventually realised it was hay-fever... or more likely tree pollen. I still get a bit of it but the odd thing is if I take a single antihistamine tablet, it pretty much goes away until the next year.

Hey peeps, hope everyone is well and catching a tan in this weather lol. I am looking for a compact cab that will compliment the tone hammer. I’m looking for a compact size. The first one that comes to mind is the barefaced one10. Is there any others anyone could recommend for around that price range or cheaper ( it going to be for jamming at home with the misses who plays piano)?. I play a pbass Asian ash with maple fretboard. Chrome flats or dead rotosounds and playing style is all fingerstyle. I LOVE the ashdown abm evo head but it’s over kill atm for home I feel. cheers

You're not going to look like Arnie unless you eat loads of protein, lift massive weights all day. The farmers walk is the two handed version of the suitcase carry. I farmers walk my 2 cabs in, otherwise most of the stuff carried in is either a suitcase carry or 'box carry' - which is essentially a goblet squat and carry.

So I guess the diffrence is if you are buying something for an investment or an instrument to play

I like the geezers, yes, upper mid push, tighter bottom end. They sound quite 70's to me in a good way. I don't think EQ will get you the same thing, but it might get you into the right space. Like @Lozz196 says - worth a try first!

I think a pure FRFR cab can be a little too HiFi, but I think there's consideration built into the LFSys cabs to stop them sounding harsh? Correct me if I'm wrong @stevie...

I'll check that out! I'm also using a DCX and B15 NAM which I really like! The DCX sounds exactly like my DCX. It's good to know that there's Tone3000 available to check out and it's free!

Great purchase at an amazing price!! You will have loads of fun with it. I’m a fan of the ABM 300 evo iv tone I’ve played. It’s heaven for a pbass with flats tone. Warm yet it has so much clarity for fingerstyle playing.

Just to clarify….you are looking for low profile over-the-ear headphones that receive a signal for use in monitoring and provide some attenuation. Not in ears ((iem’s) or over-the-ear noise defenders that cannot receive a signal.

Thank you! I thought I had posted enough…

Cheers! *shameless plug alert*

This EQ is rather insane. I love me a 800hz boost but when I’ve boosted the 660hz mids on my p bass it’s still adds clarity.

I suppose the difference being is that if you spent 4k on a custom build it'll be worth approximately 2k the day its delivered to you, whereas if you buy a 4k bass on the second hand market (Wal, Fodera etc.) it'll probably be worth 4k if/when you move it on, assuming you haven't paid well over the odds.

So mine is finally arriving today. Stand-by for initial impressions.

I love the warm yet articulate clear sound you get. I have played the newest version ABM evo. It’s just beautiful. My Yamaha pulser pbass with chromes sound amazing at any volume level. Top top amp The only reason why I’m probably going to get a Aguilar tone hammer is the size. It will be for home use for the time being.

these things are in place to weed out the non genuine people. have a look around you will soon mount those posts up. also, welcome

Just had a brief experience with the Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor - I assumed it was faulty and it went back. Basically it was intermittent and when it did see the input signal, no matter how much comp I set it seemed the input was too low for the pedal. Is anyone using these with passive basses, it appeared to me it needs a far bigger input signal to be able to provide decent control. And more than half the time I had zero output no matter what I tried (all leads, basses, 500mA power supply, no chain at all...). I was left puzzled but I think I'll be heading off to an Empress. Shame, I had a Super Symmetry for quite a while and liked it, but could not get the HL to actual work or be properly useful.

What a coincidence. Nice one. Hopefully we'll get some gig pics of each others band from you both. 😂 Dave

I was asked to go to that rally once few yrs back. As a biker rather than a musician of course. I had other plans that weekend and didn't go. Dave

The jabs work, but they do have side effects and they won't give you too many of them. I had one when I was a teenager and about to do my O levels. To be fair, my hay fever used to be much worse in my teens / twenties

I'm guessing it was to hide face wrinkles of course Daryl. (i saw that on "Everybody loves Raymond" show - not experience i have to say. 😂) Dave
